Benefits of technology

The patent is for a system that attaches charms or decorations to a band.

Abstract

A band permits washers or charms with center holes to be easily snapped on and exchanged, allowing them to be worn and used for adornment and decoration. The bands can be made out of a mold or can have the protrusions attached in a later stage of the production process. The band can be decorated by the washers or charms and can be held in place by the knob-like protrusions that fit through the center hole in the charm or washer. The charm or washer should fit tightly enough to not slip off easily, and not move around. The protrusion can have a cap-like design that is larger than the stem / post which can keep the charm or washer from falling off. The cap cannot be too big, however, as to cover the design of the charm or washer.
