Definitions

  • the present application pertains to watchbands, and more particularly, to watchband connection devices, systems, and methods.
  • a typical watchband includes two pieces.
  • the first piece includes a hole or bore through one end for receiving a pin to couple the first piece of the band to a watch as well as a number of holes in an opposite end of the first piece for receiving a clasp.
  • the second piece similarly includes a hole or bore for receiving a pin on one end and a clasp on an opposite end.
  • Known watchbands suffer from a number of deficiencies and disadvantages.
  • the holes in the first piece of the band may wear over time such that the watch begins to fit loosely or the clasp falls out of the selected hole.
  • watchbands can fail at the hole or bore through the band that receives the pin or at the holes that receive the clasp, either of which can cause the watch to fall off the user’s wrist and damage the watch.
  • Known watchbands can also be difficult to manipulate, particularly for users with different levels of dexterity, and may have a design aesthetic that does not align with more modem watches, including but not limited to smart watches. As a result, it would be beneficial to have a watchband with a connection mechanism that overcomes the disadvantages of known watchbands.
  • watch owners are known to desire different type of watchbands on different occasions.
  • many watch owners have watches that have watchbands with fancier or more formal appearance for some occasions and other watches that have watchbands with more casual or “every day” appearance for other occasions.
  • Embodiments broadly include a watchband with an internal housing having a watchband cavity.
  • a protrusion pivot extends from the watchband housing into the watchband cavity and a cam interfaces with the protrusion pivot.
  • the cam rotates about the protrusion pivot such that the cam, and the watchband generally, is manipulatable between a first position, where the cam extends from the watchband, and a second position, where the cam is recessed internal to the watchband housing.
  • a watch for use with the watchband includes a watch housing with a watch cavity and a button coupled within the watch housing that is movable in the watch cavity.
  • the button includes a button protrusion in the watch cavity.
  • a flange or cap is positioned on the button protrusion.
  • the user inserts the watchband into the watch cavity with the cam of the watchband in the second position internal to the watchband housing.
  • the cam rotates to the first position and extends from the watchband housing into a watch ledge in a watch side cavity. In this first position, the cam may contact the cap on the button protrusion of the watch.
  • the watch ledge in the watch side cavity prevents the cam from moving laterally in the first position (i.e., a watch ledge prevents the watchband from pulling out of the watch when the can in the watchband is in the first position).
  • the user presses the button on the watch to manipulate the cam back to the second position via the button protrusion that urges the cam back into the watchband cavity.
  • the embodiments described in the present disclosure improve upon known watchbands and watchband connection mechanisms by eliminating pin and clasp connections and the disadvantages associated with the same.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un mécanisme de raccord de bracelet de montre comprenant un bracelet de montre doté d'un boîtier de bracelet de montre et d'une came pouvant tourner entre une première position dans laquelle la came s'étend du bracelet de montre dans un rebord de montre dans une cavité latérale de montre et une seconde position dans laquelle la came est en retrait dans le boîtier de bracelet de montre. Une montre comprend un boîtier de montre, une cavité de montre ménagée dans le boîtier de montre pour recevoir au moins une partie du bracelet de montre, et un bouton accouplé au boîtier de montre et mobile par rapport à la cavité de montre. En fonctionnement, le bracelet de montre est reçu dans la cavité de montre du boîtier de montre, ce qui permet à la came de tourner dans la première position pour s'étendre à partir du bracelet dans le rebord de montre. Le boîtier de montre empêche un désaccouplement du bracelet de montre de la montre dans la première position de la came en raison de la fixation de came dans le rebord de montre. L'utilisateur appuie ensuite sur le bouton pour déplacer la came dans la seconde position, qui est ramenée l'intérieur du bracelet de montre, pour désaccoupler le bracelet de montre de la montre.
