Abstract

PURPOSE:To make moisture, such as sweat, absorbed into the band and to eliminate an uncomfortable sticky feel by using a blank material, such as high- polymer material, having water absorbency in the part of the band where the band comes into contact with the human skin during carrying. CONSTITUTION:Cowhide is used for surface skins 7 of the band and the cowhide is likewise used for a core skin 8. Further, the member, such as high-polymer material, having water absorbency, is used for the surface 9 in contact with the human skin during carrying. The core skin 8 of the band and the member 9, such as high-polymer material, having the water absorbency are fixed by adhesion. Since the high-polymer material having the water absorbency is used for the part in contact with the human skin, there is no uncomfortable sticky feel in spite of sweating, etc. The surface skins 10, 11 consist of the cowhide. The surface skin 11 which comes into contact with the human skin is provided with many holes and the core skin 12 is constituted of the high-polymer material having the water absorbency. Since the surface skin 11 is provided with the many holes, the moisture, such as sweat, is absorbed through the holes provided in the surface skin 11 into the core skin 12 having the water absorbency. The uncomfortable sticky feel is thus eliminated.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a watch band.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a conventional watch band. An embodiment of a conventional watch band will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 4, 1 and 2 are the epidermis made of cowhide, and 3 is the dermis which is also made of cowhide. Since the epidermis 1 and 2 in FIG. 4 do not allow water to pass therethrough, water due to human sweat and the like adhered to the band and human skin, giving a sticky and uncomfortable feeling. FIG. 5 also shows a top view of another embodiment according to the prior art. The band pieces 4 and 5 are made of stainless steel members and are connected by a connecting pin 6. Therefore, since the band pieces 4 and 5 are made of stainless steel, they do not absorb water at all. Therefore, when water such as human sweat adheres to the human skin or the band pieces 4 and 5, the water is sticky and gives the human discomfort.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. Specifically, the material is natural leather, artificial leather, plastic, cloth, rubber, metal, alloy, etc. Since the watch band made of water does not absorb water at all, when water such as human sweat adheres to the band and human skin, the watch band is sticky and gives a human discomfort. The present invention is to solve these problems, by completely absorbing the moisture caused by human sweat into the band, completely eliminate the human discomfort that occurs when carrying, sweat in hot summer, sports, etc. The purpose is to provide a comfortable mobile phone watch.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In a watch band,
A material having water absorbability, such as a polymer material, is used in a portion where the band comes into contact with human skin when being carried. As another method, in a watch band, a large number of holes are provided in a portion where the band comes into contact with human skin when being carried, and a member having a water absorbing property made of a polymer material is formed on the inner surface of the holes. To do.

[0005]

1 shows a sectional view of a watch band according to the invention. In FIG. 1, numeral 7 is the epidermis of the band, which uses cowhide. 8 is the dermis of the band, which is also made of cowhide. Further, reference numeral 9 denotes a surface which human skin comes into contact with when being carried, and uses a member having a water absorbing property such as a polymer material. The dermis of the band 8 and the water-absorbing member 9 such as the polymer material are fixed by adhesion. In this embodiment, since the polymer material having water absorbability is used for the part that comes into contact with human skin, the member 9 having water absorbency absorbs water such as sweat, so that even if sweat is taken. It is possible to carry a mobile watch comfortably without any sticky discomfort.

FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of another embodiment according to the present invention. Epidermis 10 and 11 are made of cowhide.
Also, the epidermis 1 that comes into contact with human skin when carrying a mobile watch 1
1 is provided with a large number of holes. Reference numeral 12 is a dermis, which is made of a water-absorbing polymer material. Further, the epidermis 10, the dermis 12 and the epidermis 11 are fixed by adhesion. In this embodiment, since the epidermis 11 that comes into contact with the human skin is provided with a large number of pores, water due to human sweat or the like passes through the pores provided in the epidermis 11 and the water-absorbing polymer. It is absorbed in the dermis 12 which is made of material. Therefore, also in this embodiment, since the band absorbs water due to sweat or the like, it is possible to comfortably carry the portable timepiece without any sticky discomfort.

FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of yet another embodiment according to the present invention. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 13 is a block band piece made of stainless steel, and 14 is a member made of a polymer material having a water absorbing property.
It is fixed by adhesion to. Further, the member 14 made of the polymer material having water absorption is configured to come into contact with human skin. Therefore, since water such as sweat is absorbed by the member 14 made of the polymer material having water absorbency, even if the water such as sweat adheres to the band and human skin, there is no sticky discomfort and the user can comfortably carry it. It is possible to carry a watch.

[0008]

As described above, the timepiece band according to the present invention absorbs moisture such as sweat by utilizing a polymer material having a water absorbing property. Even if it adheres to your skin, you will not feel any sticky discomfort, and you can comfortably carry your mobile watch.
