Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a decorative metal band using a mini rope, especially a watch band.

Conventional metal watch bands are made by ○A solid wire tightly wound to the right or left to form a spring-like fence, and ○B made by interlocking or deforming two or more pieces with different diameters. ○ Those that are wound into a coil shape and pressed, ○ Those that use a hammer as a core and wrap a plate-shaped coil around them, ○ The ones that have various chains placed in parallel in the longitudinal direction and spot welded at appropriate intervals, ○ E) There were metal pieces formed into arbitrary shapes that were molded into blocks and connected together. However, these had the disadvantage that the band did not vary much, and in order to provide a variety of products, the number of parts had to be increased, making mass production difficult and increasing costs.

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention arranges a plurality of flexible mini-ropes in the longitudinal direction and fixes the mini-ropes that are in contact with each other.
It is formed by attaching a flexible back member to the entire back surface.

Therefore, by fixing the entire mini-ropes that are in contact with each other and attaching a backing member to the back side, the mini-ropes can be made durable and safe to use.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A strand 2 is formed by twisting together a large number of strands 1 made of spring stainless steel wire, non-ferrous wire, steel wire, precious metal wire, synthetic resin wire, etc. Furthermore, depending on the way the strands 2 are twisted, there are normal twists, land twists, etc. A plurality of strands 2 are twisted together to form a mini-rope 3, and the mini-rope 3 is pulled in the longitudinal direction, and the mini-rope is fixed to each other by spot welding or adhesive over the entire length to form a band body 5. A flexible back member 7 is adhered to the back side, that is, the side that contacts the arm (FIG. 3). Furthermore, the band members 5 bonded to each other over the entire length may be integrally fixed to a flexible backing member 9 having raised pieces 8, 8 on both sides (FIG. 4). Furthermore, variation can also be provided by pressing the outer surface of the band body 5b shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 to make each plane flat and angular (FIG. 7). .

Although this embodiment has mainly been described with respect to a watch band, it can also be used as a bracelet. The term "mini rope" refers to a rope with a diameter of 3 m/m or less, which is constructed by twisting a large number of thin thread-like steel wires or other materials with extremely high tensile strength. The twist pattern of the mini rope itself can be changed by combining various wires and strands that make up this mini rope, or by changing the way the strands are twisted, so various changes can be made without changing the number of parts. You can also get a band with Moreover, if necessary, it is of course possible to cover the outside of this mini-rope with a skin (not shown).

As described above, the present invention forms a band body by attaching a backing member to the back side of mini ropes that are fixed to each other, thereby increasing the overall strength and preventing the outer skin of the arm from getting pinched between the mini ropes. Therefore, it is safe and has beneficial effects such as being able to be used with peace of mind since the band body does not get caught on other objects and come off.
