[0010] (First embodiment) A first embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a wristwatch will be described below with reference to FIGS. This wristwatch is an accessory worn on the wrist, and as shown in Figures 1 to 3, it has a wristwatch case 1. This wristwatch case 1 has a case body 2 which is the accessory body, and a decorative member 3 which is an exterior member.

[0011] 1 and 2, band attachment sections 4 for attaching a watch band (not shown) are provided on the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock sides of the case body 2. In addition, switch attachment sections 5 for attaching push button switches (not shown) are provided on the 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 8 o'clock, and 10 o'clock sides of the case body 2.

[0012] 1 to 3, a watch crystal 6 is attached via a packing 6a to the upper opening of the case body 2. A back cover (not shown) is attached to the bottom of the case body 2. A watch module (not shown) is provided inside the case body 2.

[0013] The case body 2 is formed from a metal such as titanium alloy or stainless steel, or a highly rigid synthetic resin such as polyamide resin mixed with glass fiber or carbon fiber. As shown in Figures 2 to 4, a notched recess 7 in which the decorative member 3 is placed is provided along the entire periphery of the upper outer periphery of the case body 2. The notched recess 7 is a depression that is open to the upper side and the outer periphery of the case body 2, and has a bottom surface 7a which is a horizontal surface and a rising surface 7b which is the inner periphery.

[0014] On the other hand, the decorative member 3 is made of a brittle material that is transparent or translucent and has optical transparency, such as gemstones such as sapphire, emerald, ruby, diamond, or other such stones, glass such as highly transparent quartz glass, or ceramics. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the decorative member 3 is formed in a ring shape that is approximately the same shape and size as the notched recess 7 of the case body 2.

[0015] 1 to 3, the decorative member 3 has an inner periphery formed in a circular shape that is approximately the same size as the rising surface 7b of the notched recess 7 of the case body 2, and an outer periphery formed in a polygonal shape. As shown in Fig. 4, the decorative member 3 is adhered to the notched recess 7 of the case body 2 with an adhesive 8. The adhesive 8 may be a thermosetting adhesive or an ultraviolet-setting adhesive.

[0016] 3 and 4, the decorative member 3 has a lower surface 3a corresponding to the bottom surface 7a of the cutout recess 7, and an inner peripheral surface 3b corresponding to the rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7. In this case, the decorative member 3 is configured so that portions of the lower surface 3a and the inner peripheral surface 3b, i.e., portions that roughly correspond to chamfered portions 10 described below, are bonded to the bottom surface 7a and the rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7 with adhesive 8.

[0017] In this case, as shown in Fig. 4, the lower inner peripheral surface of the decorative member 3 where the lower surface 3a and inner peripheral surface 3b intersect is provided with a chamfered portion 10, which is an inclined portion. The adhesive 8 is configured to fill area E surrounded by the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3 and the bottom surface 7a and rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7 that corresponds to this chamfered portion 10, i.e., area E having a substantially triangular cross section. As a result, the decorative member 3 is configured to be adhered to the cutout recess 7 of the case body 2 by the adhesive 8 filled in area E.

[0018] 4, the inclination angle of this chamfered portion 10 is approximately 45°, but the inclination angle may also be approximately 60°. That is, when the inclination angle of chamfered portion 10 is approximately 45°, the lengths of bottom surface 7a and rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7 corresponding to chamfered portion 10 are approximately the same, but when the inclination angle of chamfered portion 10 is approximately 60°, the length of rising surface 7b is longer than the bottom surface 7a of the cutout recess 7 corresponding to chamfered portion 10.

[0019] As a result, as shown in Fig. 4, decorative layers 11 are provided on the lower surface 3a excluding the chamfered portion 10 and on the inner peripheral surface 3b excluding the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3. In this case, of the lower surface 3a and the inner peripheral surface 3b of the decorative member 3, the decorative layer 11 is provided on the inner peripheral surface 3b of the decorative member 3 except for a portion that corresponds to a portion away from the chamfered portion 10 up to a second adhesive reservoir portion 13, which will be described later. These decorative layers 11 are thin decorative layers such as faceted layers such as cut glass, maki-e layers such as lacquer layers, or printed or vapor-deposited layers with patterns or figures.

[0020] In this case, as shown in Fig. 4, the decorative member 3 is formed from a light-transmitting brittle material, so that the decorative layers 11 provided on the lower surface 3a and inner peripheral surface 3b of the decorative member 3 can be seen from the outside through the decorative member 3. As a result, the decorative member 3 is configured so that the decorative properties are enhanced by the decorative layers 11 on the lower surface 3a and inner peripheral surface 3b.

[0021] 4, a first adhesive reservoir 12 is provided on the bottom surface 7a of the cutout recess 7 of the case body 2 in a location corresponding to the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3, i.e., the area E where the adhesive 8 is filled. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the first adhesive reservoir 12 is provided with its outermost periphery, point P1, located slightly inward of point P2, which is the outermost periphery of the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3.

[0022] 4 and 5, the first adhesive reservoir 12 is configured to prevent the adhesive 8 from flowing out from within the area E filled with the adhesive 8 along the bottom surface 7a of the cutout recess 7. Therefore, the first adhesive reservoir 12 is configured to prevent the adhesive 8 from flowing out onto the decorative layer 11 provided on the lower surface 3a of the decorative member 3, and to prevent the decorative layer 11 from being adversely affected by the adhesive 8.

[0023] 4, a second adhesive reservoir 13 is provided on the rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7 of the case body 2 at a location other than the location corresponding to the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3, i.e., at a location above and away from the area E filled with adhesive 8. In other words, the lowermost point P3 of this second adhesive reservoir 13 is positioned above the uppermost point P4 of the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3.

[0024] As a result, as shown in Figure 4, the second adhesive reservoir 13 is configured to collect the adhesive 8 even if the adhesive 8 flows out along the rising surface 7b from within the area E where the adhesive 8 is filled. Therefore, by collecting the adhesive 8 that flows out above the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3, the second adhesive reservoir 13 prevents the adhesive 8 from flowing out above the second adhesive reservoir 13, and prevents the decorative layer 11 provided on the inner peripheral surface 3b of the decorative member 3 from being adversely affected by the adhesive 8.

[0025] Next, assembly of this wristwatch case 1 will be described. In this case, first, adhesive 8 is applied near the lower side of second adhesive reservoir 13 of case body 2. Then, adhesive 8 drips downward from the lower side of second adhesive reservoir 13 along rising surface 7b of notched recess 7 of case body 2.

[0026] In this state, the decorative member 3 is placed in the notched recess 7 of the case body 2. At this time, the lower surface 3a of the decorative member 3 is placed in correspondence with the bottom surface 7a of the notched recess 7, and the inner peripheral surface 3b of the decorative member 3 is placed in correspondence with the rising surface 7b of the notched recess 7. As a result, the adhesive 8 dripping from the underside of the second adhesive reservoir 13 onto the bottom surface 7a of the notched recess 7 of the case body 2 is pressed by the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3.

[0027] At this time, the adhesive 8 pressed by the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3 toward the bottom surface 7a of the cutout recess 7 is pressed from the inner periphery of the bottom surface 7a of the cutout recess 7 toward the first adhesive reservoir 12, and flows into and accumulates in the first adhesive reservoir 12. As a result, the adhesive 8 does not flow out from the first adhesive reservoir 12 along the underside 3a of the decorative member 3. As a result, the adhesive 8 is filled into the area E surrounded by the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3 and the bottom surface 7a and rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7.

[0028] At this time, the adhesive 8 pressed by the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3 toward the rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7 is pressed from the lower part of the rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7 toward the second adhesive reservoir 12. In this case, the adhesive 8 flows out of the area E surrounded by the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3 and the bottom surface 7a and rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7, and flows and accumulates outside of area E, that is, in the second adhesive reservoir 13 located above area E. For this reason, the adhesive 8 does not flow upward from the second adhesive reservoir 13.

[0029] As a result, the decorative member 3 is adhered and attached to the inside of the notched recess 7 of the case body 2 by the adhesive 8 filled in the area E surrounded by the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3 and the bottom surface 7a and rising surface 7b of the notched recess 7. In this state, the adhesive 8 does not flow out from the first adhesive reservoir 12 onto the bottom surface 7a on the outer periphery of the notched recess 7. Therefore, the decorative layer 11 provided on the underside 3a of the decorative member 3 corresponding to the bottom surface 7a of the notched recess 7 is not adversely affected by the adhesive 8, such as being soiled.

[0030] In this state, the adhesive 8 does not flow out onto the rising surface 7b above the second adhesive reservoir 13 of the cutout recess 7. Therefore, the decorative layer 11 provided on the inner surface 3b of the decorative member 3 is not adversely affected by the adhesive 8, such as being soiled, except for the area of ​​the rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7 from its bottom to the second adhesive reservoir 13.

[0031] In this state, the adhesive 8 is cured. That is, if the adhesive 8 is a thermosetting adhesive, the adhesive 8 can be heated while the decorative member 3 is placed in the notched recess 7 of the case body 2. If the adhesive 8 is a UV-curing adhesive, the decorative member 3 is light-transmitting, so UV light can be irradiated onto the adhesive 8 through the decorative member 3. This allows the decorative member 3 to be securely and satisfactorily attached to the notched recess 7 of the case body 2 with the adhesive 8.

[0032] Next, the operation of such a wristwatch case 1 will be described. In this wristwatch case 1, the decorative member 3 adhered with adhesive 8 to the notched recess 7 provided on the upper outer periphery of the case body 2 is light-transmitting, so that the decorative layer 11 provided on the lower surface 3a and inner surface 3b of the decorative member 3 can be seen through the decorative member 3 from the upper and outer surfaces.

[0033] As a result, the decorativeness of this wristwatch case 1 can be enhanced not only by the decorative member 3, but also by the decorative layer 11. As a result, this wristwatch case 1 can be made even more decorative, improving its appearance and design.

[0034] Thus, this wristwatch case 1 comprises a case body 2, which is the main body of the accessory, with a notched recess 7 on the upper outer periphery, and a decorative member 3 that is placed within the notched recess 7 and adhered with adhesive 8; the adhesive 8 is filled in the area E surrounded by the chamfered portion 10, which is an inclined portion provided on the lower inner periphery of the decorative member 3, and the bottom surface 7a and rising surface 7b of the notched recess 7 that corresponds to this chamfered portion 10, allowing the decorative member 3 to be attached easily and reliably.

[0035] In other words, in this wristwatch case 1, adhesive 8 can be filled in the area E surrounded by the chamfered portion 10 provided on the lower inner surface of the decorative member 3 and the bottom surface 7a and rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7 to which this chamfered portion 10 corresponds.Therefore, by simply placing the decorative member 3 in the cutout recess 7 of the case main body 2, the decorative member 3 can be easily and securely attached to the cutout recess 7 of the case main body 2 by the adhesive 8 filled in area E.

[0036] In this case, in this wristwatch case 1, the decorative member 3 is ring-shaped and made of a brittle material that is optically transparent, so even though the decorative member 3 is made of a brittle material, it can be reliably and well-adhered to the cutout recess 7 of the case body 2 with adhesive 8, and the bottom surface 3a and inner surface 3b of the decorative member 3 can be clearly seen through the decorative member 3 from the top surface and outer surface sides, thereby improving the design.

[0037] Furthermore, in the wristwatch case 1, a decorative layer 11 is provided on the underside 3a and inner surface 3b of the decorative member 3 corresponding to the bottom surface 7a and rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7, except for at least the area E where the adhesive 8 is filled, i.e., the area where the adhesive 8 is present. This allows the decorative layer 11 on the underside 3a and inner surface 3b of the decorative member 3 to be seen through the decorative member 3 from the top and outer surfaces, thereby further enhancing the decorativeness.

[0038] Furthermore, in this wristwatch case 1, a first adhesive reservoir 12 is provided on the bottom surface 7a of the cutout recess 7 corresponding to the chamfered portion 10, which is the inclined portion of the decorative member 3. This allows the adhesive 8 to be stored in the first adhesive reservoir 12 when the decorative member 3 is adhered to the cutout recess 7 with the adhesive 8, and prevents the adhesive 8 from flowing out of the area E filled with the adhesive 8. This prevents the decorative layer 11 provided on the underside 3a of the decorative member 3 corresponding to the bottom surface 7a of the cutout recess 7 from being adversely affected by the adhesive 8, such as by staining.

[0039] In this case, the first adhesive reservoir 12 is provided with its outermost portion, point P1, located slightly inward of point P2, which is the outermost portion of the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3, thereby reliably and effectively preventing the adhesive 8 from flowing out from within the area E filled with the adhesive 8, that is, from the location corresponding to the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3, toward the outer periphery of the underside 3a of the decorative member 3. This allows the area of ​​the decorative layer 11 provided on the underside 3a of the decorative member 3 to be increased, thereby also enhancing the decorativeness.

[0040] Furthermore, in this wristwatch case 1, second adhesive reservoir 13 is provided at a location on rising surface 7b of cutout recess 7 away from the location corresponding to chamfered portion 10 of decorative member 3, so that even if adhesive 8 flows out from within area E filled with adhesive 8 toward the upper side of rising surface 7b of cutout recess 7, this flowed-out adhesive 8 can be stored in second adhesive reservoir 13. As a result, adhesive 8 does not flow out of second adhesive reservoir 13, and decorative layer 11 provided on inner circumferential surface 3b of decorative member 3 corresponding to rising surface 7b of cutout recess 7 is not adversely affected by contamination by adhesive 8, etc.

[0041] (Second embodiment) Next, a second embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a wristwatch will be described with reference to Figures 6 and 7. Note that the same parts as those in the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 5 will be denoted by the same reference numerals. As shown in Figure 6, this wristwatch has a structure in which a second adhesive reservoir 15 is provided at a location on the rising surface 7b of the notched recess 7 of the case body 2 that corresponds to the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3, and otherwise has the same structure as the first embodiment. The second adhesive reservoir 15 is provided at a position opposite the first adhesive reservoir 12, with the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3 sandwiched between them.

[0042] 6 and 7, this second adhesive reservoir 15 is located slightly below point P5, which is the uppermost point of the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3. In other words, this second adhesive reservoir 15 is located such that point P6, which is the uppermost point of the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3, is located slightly below point P5, which is the uppermost point of the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3, as shown in FIG.

[0043] 6 and 7, the second adhesive reservoir 15 is configured to prevent the adhesive 8 from flowing upward along the rising surface 7b from within the region E filled with the adhesive 8. As a result, the second adhesive reservoir 15 is configured to prevent the adhesive 8 from flowing out onto the decorative layer 11 provided on the inner peripheral surface 3b of the decorative member 3 and adversely affecting the decorative layer 11.

[0044] The watch case 1 of the second embodiment has the same functions and effects as the first embodiment, and in addition, by providing a second adhesive reservoir 15 at a location on the rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7 that corresponds to the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3, the adhesive 8 can be stored in the second adhesive reservoir 15 when the decorative member 3 is adhered to the cutout recess 7 with the adhesive 8. As a result, the adhesive 8 does not flow out of the area E where the adhesive 8 is filled, and the decorative layer 11 provided on the inner surface 3b of the decorative member 3 that corresponds to the rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7 can be prevented from being adversely affected by the adhesive 8, such as being soiled.

[0045] In this case, the second adhesive reservoir 15 has its uppermost point P6 located slightly below the uppermost point P5 of the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3, thereby reliably and effectively preventing the adhesive 8 from flowing out from within the area E filled with the adhesive 8, that is, from the location corresponding to the chamfered portion 10 of the decorative member 3, onto the upper side of the inner circumferential surface 3b of the decorative member 3. This allows the area of ​​the decorative layer 11 provided on the inner circumferential surface 3b of the decorative member 3 to be wider than in the first embodiment, further improving the decorativeness.

[0046] In the above-mentioned first and second embodiments, the decorative layer 11 is described as being provided on both the lower surface 3a and the inner surface 3b of the decorative member 3, but the present invention is not limited to this and may also have a structure in which the decorative layer 11 is provided on at least either the lower surface 3a of the decorative member 3 or the bottom surface 7a of the cutout recess 7 of the case main body 2.

[0047] Furthermore, in the first and second embodiments described above, the decorative layer 11 is provided on the lower surface 3a and inner peripheral surface 3b of the decorative member 3, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may have a structure in which, for example, the decorative layer 11 is provided on the bottom surface 7a and rising surface 7b of the cutout recess 7 of the case body 2. In this way, the decorative layer 11 of the decorative member 3 and the decorative layer 11 of the cutout recess 7 of the case body 2 can be combined, thereby further enhancing the decorativeness.

[0048] In the first and second embodiments described above, a printed layer or a vapor-deposited layer may be provided on portions of the decorative member 3 other than the lower surface 3a and the inner peripheral surface 3b on which the decorative layer 11 is provided, i.e., the chamfered portion 10 and the inner peripheral surface 3b in the first embodiment. In this way, the adhesive 8 can be completely invisible from the outside.

[0049] In the first and second embodiments described above, a heat-curing adhesive and an ultraviolet-curing adhesive are used as the adhesive 8 for fixing the decorative member 3 to the notched recess 7. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an infrared-curing adhesive may be used as the light-curing adhesive. This infrared-curing adhesive hardens when irradiated with infrared rays.

[0050] Furthermore, while the first and second embodiments described above are applied to a wristwatch, the present invention does not necessarily have to be applied to a wristwatch, but can also be applied to accessories such as bracelets, brooches, pendants, necklaces, and earrings.
