Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a band connecting device used in a wristwatch.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a band connecting device used for a wristwatch has been disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 44-1.
As described in Japanese Patent No. 8612, formation of a band band is performed by arranging pieces 101 connected in a chain form side by side in the direction of the band band as shown in FIGS. 102
This was done by inserting the fitting 103 from the side of the fitting piece 101. The band bands thus formed are attached in two opposite directions of the case, and the timepiece is mounted on the wrist by utilizing the rotatability of the connecting portion of each piece and the insertion fitting toward the back side of the band band. In some cases, the watch was shaped to fit the wrist.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in such a band band, although it is possible to bend the band band in the back direction, the band band is formed so as not to shift in the width direction. Therefore, the decorativeness of the band is limited to the design made on the surface of the band, the shape of the band and the shape of the bridge. Then, this invention aims at providing the coupling | bonding apparatus of the band which creates a different decorative property even if the band band has the same shape and the same design.

(Means for Solving the Problem) A wristwatch band connecting device according to the present invention comprises a piece (1) that is connected in large numbers to form a band band; a notch (A) formed in the band width direction of the piece; A coupling tool (2 or B) formed to have a width shorter than the length of the portion; relative to the band width direction, slidable relative to the band width direction within the notch, and if there is no external force, the position after sliding In order to connect the connecting tool to the notch so as to maintain it, an inserting tool (3) which is inserted into the piece in the band width direction is provided.

According to the main aspect of this invention, the bridge and the connector are constructed as separate parts.

According to another main aspect, the connecting projection provided on the piece acts as a connecting tool, and the piece and the connecting tool are configured as an integral part.

In addition, according to another main aspect, unevenness is provided in the joint portion between the bridge and the connecting tool, and by selectively engaging them,
Moderation is given to the relative position between the pieces.

(Operation) In the connecting device configured as described above, in each of the pieces forming the band band, the connecting tool connected to the cutout portion selectively slides in the band width direction. The position after sliding is maintained as it is, unless an external force acts. Since the pieces are continuous via such a connecting tool, each piece can relatively and selectively change its position in the band width direction with respect to the adjacent piece, and the state is maintained. Thereby, the shape of the band band can be variously changed.

(Example) Below, the Example of this invention is described based on drawing.

Embodiment 1 FIG. 2 is an embodiment of the present invention, in which a piece 1 forming a band band is provided with a notch A, and a fitting 1 is inserted into the piece 1 and a hole 1a for fixing the same is provided. , 1b, 1c, 1d through the notch A of the piece 1 at the position where 1a and 1c, 1b and 1d face each other.
Are provided so as to penetrate therethrough.

Further, when the connecting fitting 2 is set on the piece 1 in the connecting piece 2, the through holes 2a provided in the connecting piece 2 are the through holes 1a, 1c of the piece 1.
It is provided so as to be coaxial with. Further, another through hole 2b provided in the connecting fitting 2 is provided so as to be coaxial with the through holes 1b and 1d of the piece 1.

Set the connecting bracket 2 to the piece 1 and insert the insert bracket 3
When fixed to the piece 1, the piece 1 and the connecting fitting 2 are connected. In this case, the diameter of the hole provided in the connecting metal fitting 2 is made larger than the diameter of the inserting metal fitting 3, and the connecting metal fitting 2 has the inserting metal fitting 3
It is possible to rotate about.

The length WB of the connecting fitting 2 is shorter than the length WA of the cutout portion A of the piece 1. As a result, the connecting metal fitting 2 is attached to the piece 1 by the insertion metal fitting 3, and the connecting metal fitting 2 is attached to the piece 1.
The notch A can be slid in the band width direction.

A band band was constructed by the connecting device constructed as described above. Then, if the mutual positions of the piece 1 and the connecting fitting 2 are relatively and selectively changed by the clearance (WA-WB) between each piece 1 and the connecting fitting 2, as shown in FIG. I was able to change the shape in various ways.

Example 2 The piece 1 and the connecting fitting 2 described in Example 1 were integrated to produce the piece 1 shown in FIG.

The piece 1 is provided with a cutout portion A and a connecting projection B, and through holes 1a and 1b are opened at positions facing each other through the cutout portion.

The connecting projection B is provided with a hole 2a through which the insertion fitting 3 is inserted. Set the connecting projection B in the notch of the piece 1 and insert the holes 1a, 2a
Inserting metal fittings 3 were respectively inserted into 1 and 2b and fixed to the piece 1. The width of the connecting projection B is made smaller than the notch A of the piece 1, and the relative position is selectively determined in the clearance between the connecting projection B and the notch A, and this operation forms a band band. By giving each piece and the connecting projection B, the shape of the band band could be variously changed.

Third Embodiment In the second embodiment, a protruding portion C and a concave portion D are added to the side surface of the piece 1 as shown in FIG. 4, and the protruding portion C of the piece 2 and the concave portion D of the piece 1 are selectively meshed with each other to form a band band. The shape of the band was changed in various ways by setting the relative position between the pieces forming the band.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention provides a piece (1) and a connector (2).
Or, B) is slidably connected by the notch (A) of the piece (1) using the insertion tool (3), so that in addition to the decorativeness of the conventional band, the user can use the piece of the connecting device. Since it is possible to freely change the relative position of (1) and the connecting tool (2 or B), in other words, the relative position of the pieces (1) to each other, it is possible to make a band band of various shapes. Can create new designs.
