[0009] An embodiment of the present invention will now be described. Fig. 1 is a plan view showing a wristwatch 1 to which the present invention is applied. This wristwatch 1 comprises a watch body 2 and a band 3.

[0010] The watch body 2 is circular, and a time display unit 21 equipped with a dial 21a, an hour hand 21b, and a minute hand 21c is provided in the center of the watch body 2. Band attachment parts 32 are provided on the 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock sides of the watch body 2.

[0011] The band 3 is composed of an elastic band body 31 made of synthetic resin such as urethane resin, and the band body 31 has a 6 o'clock side band portion 33 attached to a band attachment portion 32 on the 6 o'clock side of the watch body 2, and a 12 o'clock side band portion 34 attached to a band attachment portion 32 on the 12 o'clock side of the watch body 2. A free ring 10 is fitted onto the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 of the band body 31 to hold the end of the end edge 33a of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33.

[0012] The 6 o'clock side band portion 33 is provided with a plurality of first and second thrust rod holes 4a and 4b, which are the first and second fixing holes, arranged side by side. The plurality of first and second thrust rod holes 4a and 4b are arranged at an equal hole pitch P in the length direction of the band body 31, forming a first row R1 and a second row R2 arranged side by side in the width direction of the band body 31. The plurality of first thrust rod holes 4a in the first row R1 and the plurality of second thrust rod holes 4b in the second row R2 are arranged with a hole pitch P of half a pitch (P / 2) in the length direction of the band body 31, that is, shifted by 1 / 2 of the hole pitch P in the length direction. Accordingly, the first protruding rod hole 4a in the first row R1 and the second protruding rod hole 4b in the second row R2, which are closest to the end edge 33a of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33, are arranged along a straight line that is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33.

[0013] Each of the first and second protruding rod holes 4a, 4b is substantially trapezoidal, and the first protruding rod hole 4a in the first row R1 has a short side of the trapezoid located on the side of the end edge 33a of the 6 o'clock side band part 33, whereas the second protruding rod hole 4b in the second row R2 has a long side of the trapezoid located on the side of the end edge 33a of the 6 o'clock side band part 33. As shown in FIG. 6, the inside of each of the first and second protruding rod holes 4a, 4b has an inclined surface 4c that is inclined in accordance with the shape of the first and second protruding rods 6, 7 to facilitate the insertion of the first and second protruding rods 6, 7 described later. That is, the inside of each of the first and second protruding rod holes 4a, 4b has an inclined surface 4c that is inclined in accordance with the shape of the first and second protruding rods 6, 7 in the inner wall portion that forms the band attachment portion 32 side on the front side of the 6 o'clock side band part 33, so that the opening area on the front side of the 6 o'clock side band part 33 is larger than the opening area on the back side.

[0014] 1 to 6, a buckle 5 for connecting the 6 o'clock side band part 33 is provided at the end of the 12 o'clock side band part 34 which constitutes the other end of the band main body 31. This buckle 5 includes a mounting shaft 8 provided at the end of the 12 o'clock side band part 34, a buckle main body 5a attached to both ends of the mounting shaft 8 and into which the 6 o'clock side band part 33 is inserted, and a first thrust rod 6 (first pin member) and a second thrust rod 7 (second pin member) attached to the mounting shaft 8 so as to be rotatable.

[0015] That is, the end of the 12 o'clock side band part 34, which is the other end of the band body 31, is comb-shaped, and the end of the 12 o'clock side band part 34 is formed with outer extensions 34a, 34a that form one side edge and the other side edge in the width direction of the band body 31, and an intermediate extension 34b that extends between the outer extensions 34a, 34a. In addition, the attachment shaft 8 is inserted into the tip of the outer extensions 34a, 34a and the intermediate extension 34b. The buckle body 5a is a roughly U-shaped member that sandwiches the outer extensions 34a, 34a from both sides in the width direction, and is rotatably attached to both ends of the attachment shaft 8 that protrudes from both sides of the 12 o'clock side band part 34.

[0016] The first and second prongs 6, 7 are selectively used when connecting the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 and the 6 o'clock side band portion 33, and are spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33, with their base ends loosely inserted into the mounting shaft 8 inside the buckle body 5a. That is, the first and second prongs 6, 7 are spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34, and are provided to correspond to the first row R1 and the second row R2 of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33, respectively, and are rotatable about the common mounting shaft 8. The first prong 6 is provided to correspond to the multiple first prong holes 4a in the first row R1 of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33, and the second prong 7 is provided to correspond to the multiple second prong holes 4b in the second row R2. In other words, the first thrust rod 6 can only be inserted into any one of the first thrust rod holes 4a in the first row R1, and the second thrust rod 7 can only be inserted into any one of the second thrust rod holes 4b in the second row R2.

[0017] The first and second prongs 6, 7 have the same length and shape in the length direction of the 12 o'clock side band part 34, and their tips are aligned in the length direction of the 12 o'clock side band part 34. The first and second prongs 6, 7 are bent in a "V" shape at the tip side at about one-third of the length, and are composed of base ends 6a, 7a on the base end side and tip ends 6b, 7b on the tip side. That is, the first and second prongs 6, 7 are bent in a "V" shape, and are formed into a gently inclined mountain shape. As a result, the first and second prongs 6, 7 have a shape in which the tip ends 6b, 7b are inclined almost in the same way as the surface of the buckle body 5a when they are in contact with the buckle body 5a.

[0018] On the other hand, the end of the 12 o'clock side band part 34 is provided with a first storage part 11 and a second storage part 12 for individually storing the first and second protruding rods 6, 7. The first and second storage parts 11, 12 are formed between the outer extension parts 34a, 34a on both sides, the end of which is inserted with the mounting shaft 8, and the intermediate extension part 34b. That is, the first and second storage parts 11, 12 are formed so that the length in the length direction of the 12 o'clock side band part 34 is approximately the same as the length of the first and second protruding rods 6, 7, and the length in the width direction of the 12 o'clock side band part 34 is approximately the same as the length of the first and second protruding rods 6, 7. As a result, the first and second storage parts 11, 12 are configured to open to the front and back sides of the 12 o'clock side band part 34 and individually store the first and second protruding rods 6, 7. The first and second storage sections 11, 12 are provided with locking sections 11a, 12a which are locking structures for locking the first and second thrust rods 6, 7 stored therein, respectively.

[0019] That is, each of the locking portions 11a, 12a includes a receiving portion 13 and a retaining portion 14. Each receiving portion 13 is provided inside the first and second storage portions 11, 12 so that the inner wall on the 12 o'clock side of the band attachment portion 32 is inclined toward the opposite inner wall so that the opening area on the back side of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 is smaller than the opening area on the front side. As shown in Fig. 4, when the first and second thrust rods 6, 7 are stored in the first and second storage portions 11, 12, their tips 6b, 7b abut against the receiving portion 13, thereby preventing excessive rotation of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 toward the back side. The inclination angle of each receiving portion 13 is the same as the inclination angle of each of the tip portions 6b, 7b of the first and second protruding rods 6, 7, which are bent in a "V" shape, when they rotate around the mounting axis 8, turn over, and are stored in the first and second storage portions 11, 12, and are set at an angle such that the tip portions 6b, 7b abut over their entire areas.

[0020] The pair of retaining portions 14, 14 are formed on both inner walls of the first and second storage sections 11, 12 facing each other in the width direction of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 and are provided so as to protrude opposite to each other. Each retaining portion 14 is provided in the first and second storage sections 11, 12, positioned approximately at the center in the length direction of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 and approximately at the center in the thickness direction of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34. Each retaining portion 14 has a cross section along the width direction of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 that is an isosceles triangle. The retaining portions 14 prevent the first and second protruding rods 6, 7 stored in the first and second storage sections 11, 12 from rotating toward the front side of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34, that is, from falling out.

[0021] As a result, when the first and second thrust rods 6, 7 are stored in the first and second storage sections 11, 12, each locking section 11a, 12a receives the respective tip ends 6b, 7b of the first and second thrust rods 6, 7 with each receiving section 13, thereby storing the first and second thrust rods 6, 7 in the first and second storage sections 11, 12 in an appropriate state, and each pair of anti-slip sections 14 engages the middle portions of the first and second thrust rods 6, 7 from the surface side, thereby locking the first and second thrust rods 6, 7 so that they do not come out of the first and second storage sections 11, 12.

[0022] 1, each of the first and second protruding rod holes 4a and 4b of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 is inclined at a predetermined angle of inclination upward to the right from left to right in the width direction perpendicular to the length direction of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33, that is, at an inclination angle corresponding to a half-pitch shift between the first protruding rod holes 4a in the first row R1 and the second protruding rod holes 4b in the second row R2. Accordingly, the tip ends 6b and 7b of the first and second protruding rods 6 and 7 are also inclined upward to the right at the same inclination angle as the first and second protruding rod holes 4a and 4b.

[0023] In this case, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the first and second thrust rods 6, 7 have a gently sloping mountain-like ridgeline and base that are bent in a V-shape and slope upward to the right at the same angle as the first and second thrust rod holes 4a, 4b. As a result, even if each of the first thrust rod holes 4a and each of the second thrust rod holes 4b in the first and second rows R1, R2 of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 slope upward to the right, the first and second thrust rods 6, 7 can be smoothly inserted into the first thrust rod hole 4a and the second thrust rod hole 4b due to the slope of the ridgeline and base of the mountain-like ridgeline of the first and second thrust rods 6, 7 and are configured to come into close contact with the sloped surfaces 4c in the first and second thrust rod holes 4a, 4b.

[0024] 1 and 2, the tip of each of the receiving portions 13 of each of the locking portions 11a, 12a in the first and second storage portions 11, 12 of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 is inclined downward to the right in the opposite direction to the first and second thrust holes 4a, 4b. Also, the idle ring 10 of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 is formed to be inclined upward to the right at the same inclination angle as the first and second thrust holes 4a, 4b.

[0025] 1, each of the band attachment parts 32 on the 6 o'clock side and the 12 o'clock side of the watch body 2 is formed to be inclined upward to the right at the same inclination angle as the first and second prong holes 4a, 4b. Accordingly, each end of the 6 o'clock side band part 33 and the 12 o'clock side band part 34 attached to each band attachment part 33 is also formed to be inclined upward to the right at the same inclination angle as the first and second prong holes 4a, 4b.

[0026] As a result, this wristwatch 1 is configured to ensure uniformity in appearance and enhance design, as the multiple first and second rod holes 4a, 4b of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33, the respective tips 6b, 7b of the first and second rods 6, 7, the respective ridges and bases of the mountain-shaped shapes of the first and second rods 6, 7, the keeper ring 10, the respective band mounting portions 32 of the watch body 2, and the respective ends of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 and the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 attached to each of these band mounting portions 32 are all inclined upward to the right at the same inclination angle.

[0027] Next, the function of the band 3 in such a wristwatch 1 will be described. When putting this wristwatch 1 on the wrist, for example, one of the first and second prongs 6, 7 of the buckle 5 provided at the end of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 is selected, and the other second prong 7 is stored in the second storage section 12 of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34.

[0028] At this time, the second thrust rod 7 is stored in the second storage section 12 and locked by the locking section 12a. That is, the tip section 7b of the second thrust rod 7 is brought into contact with the receiving section 13 of the second storage section 12, and approximately the middle section of the second thrust rod 7 is locked by the retaining section 14. As a result, the second thrust rod 7 is stored in an appropriate state in the second storage section 12 so as not to get in the way, and is locked by the locking section 12a to prevent it from accidentally coming out of the second storage section 12.

[0029] In this state, the watch body 2 is placed on the arm, the end side 33a of the 6 o'clock side band part 33 is inserted into the buckle body 5a of the buckle 5 provided at the end of the 12 o'clock side band part 34, and the 6 o'clock side band part 33 and the 12 o'clock side band part 34 are fastened in an overlapping state. In this state, the first thrust rod 6 that is not stored in the first storage part 11 is inserted into one of the multiple first thrust rod holes 4a in the first row R1 of the 6 o'clock side band part 33.

[0030] In this case, the first thrust rod 6 is bent in a V-shape to form a gently sloping mountain shape, so that when the first thrust rod 6 is inserted into the first thrust rod hole 4a, the slope on the back side of the mountain shape of the first thrust rod 6 comes into close contact with the sloped surface 4c of the first thrust rod hole 4a. In other words, even if the multiple first thrust rod holes 4a are inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the width direction of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33, the ridge and base of the mountain shape of the first thrust rod 6 are inclined at the same inclination angle as the multiple first thrust rod holes 4a, so that the slope on the back side of the mountain shape of the first thrust rod 6 is reliably and satisfactorily positioned in close contact with the sloped surface 4c of the first thrust rod hole 4a.

[0031] In this state, the tip of the tip portion 6b of the first prong 6 comes into contact with the surface of the buckle body 5a, pressing the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 against the 12 o'clock side band portion 34. As a result, the end of the end edge 33a of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 is connected in an overlapping state with the 12 o'clock side band portion 34. Then, the end of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 is inserted into the idling ring 10 of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34, and the end of the end edge 33a of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 is overlapped with the 12 o'clock side band portion 34. In this way, the watch body 2 is attached to the arm by the band 3.

[0032] At this time, when the watch body 2 is attached to the arm by connecting the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 and the 12 o'clock side band portion 34, if the tightening of the watch body 2 to the arm is loose, the second thrust rod 7 is inserted into the second thrust rod hole 4b in the second row R2 of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 instead of the first thrust rod 6 to fine-tune the effective length of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 and the 12 o'clock side band portion 34. At this time, first, the first thrust rod 6 is pulled out from the first thrust rod hole 4a in the first row R1 of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 and stored in the first storage portion 11, and locked by the lock portion 11a.

[0033] In this state, the second protruding rod 7 is pushed from the back side of the second storage section 12 with a finger F against the locking force of the pair of retaining portions 14 of the locking portion 12a toward the front side of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34. This causes the second protruding rod 7 to come out of the second storage section 12. The second protruding rod 7 that has come out is inserted into the second protruding rod hole 4b that is shifted by half a pitch in the second row R2 adjacent to the first row R1. This allows the effective length of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 and the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 to be finely adjusted. Therefore, by simply selecting and using the first protruding rod 6 and the second protruding rod 7 as appropriate, the effective length of the band 3 can be easily finely adjusted by the same procedure as for a general band.

[0034] In the band 3 configured as described above, the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 of the band body 31 can be connected to the end of the 12 o'clock side band portion 34 via the buckle 5 by using the first prong 6 and the corresponding first prong hole 4a in the first row R1, or the second prong 7 and the corresponding second prong hole 4b in the second row R2. Therefore, when putting the watch 1 on the wrist, for example, by using the first prong 6 to change the first prong hole 4a to be inserted to another adjacent first prong hole 4a in the first row R1, the length of the band 3 can be adjusted in units of the deviation width of the hole pitch P for each row of the multiple first prong holes 4a.

[0035] In the band 3 of this embodiment, the first and second protruding rod holes 4a, 4b provided in the 6 o'clock side band portion 33 are arranged in multiple rows aligned in the width direction, i.e., a first row R1 and a second row R2, and are arranged with a half pitch shift from the adjacent rows in the length direction of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33. Furthermore, the first and second protruding rods 6, 7 are arranged on the same axis corresponding to the first row R1 and the second row R2 of the 6 o'clock side band portion 33, and each is selectively used and inserted into the protruding rod hole (first protruding rod hole 4a or second protruding rod hole 4b) of the corresponding row (first row R1 or second row R2).

[0036] Therefore, by alternately using the first thrust rod 6 and the first thrust rod hole 4a of the first row R1 and the second thrust rod 7 and the second thrust rod hole 4b of the second row R2 and by changing the insertion target of the first thrust rod 6 and the second thrust rod 7 to another adjacent first thrust rod hole 4a in the same row, the length of the band 3 can be adjusted in units of the deviation width of the hole pitch P for each row of the multiple first and second thrust rod holes 4a, 4b, that is, P / 2, which is half the length of the hole pitch P, and this adjustment can be easily performed. In other words, by simply selecting and using the first thrust rod 6 and the second thrust rod 7, the length of the band 3 can be easily fine-tuned in the same manner as for a general band.

[0037] Additionally, the first and second thrust rods 6 and 7 are rotatably attached to a mounting shaft 8 provided along the width direction of the 12 o'clock side band part 34 that constitutes the other end of the band body 31. Therefore, one of the first and second thrust rods 6 and 7 can be selectively inserted into one of the corresponding thrust rod holes in the first row R1 or second row R2, i.e., the first thrust rod hole 4a or the second thrust rod hole 4b, so that even with a simple structure, fine adjustment of the length of the band 3 is possible and the adjustment can be easily performed.

[0038] Furthermore, because the first and second thrust rods 6 and 7 are the same length and shape and their tips are aligned, when fine-tuning the length of the band 3, it is only necessary to select either the first or second thrust rod 6 and 7. This makes fine-tuning the length of the band 3 simple and easy, and the use of standardized parts allows the band 3 to be provided at a lower cost.

[0039] Additionally, the 12 o'clock side band part 34 constituting the other end of the band body 31 is provided with a first storage section 11 and a second storage section 12 for separately storing the first thrust rod 6 and the second thrust rod 7. Therefore, the first thrust rod 6 or the second thrust rod 7 that is not used to connect the 6 o'clock side band part 33 and the 12 o'clock side band part 34 can be stored in the first storage section 11 or the second storage section 12 so as not to get in the way.

[0040] That is, the unused first thrust rod 6 or second thrust rod 7 can be stored individually in the first storage section 11 or second storage section 12 by simply rotating it in the opposite direction to the buckle 5. Therefore, when using the wristwatch 1, the unused first thrust rod 6 or second thrust rod 7 does not cause the 6 o'clock side band part 33 to float up at the end of the 12 o'clock side band part 34 and get in the way, allowing the wristwatch 1 to be used in good condition.

[0041] Additionally, first storage section 11 and second storage section 12 are equipped with locking sections 11a, 12a which are a locking structure that locks first and second storage sections 11, 12. Therefore, even after wristwatch 1 has had the length of band 3 finely adjusted and is removed from the wrist, until it is put back on the wrist, the unused first stick 6 or second stick 7 can remain stored in first storage section 11 or second storage section 12. Therefore, when wristwatch 1 is put back on the wrist, there is no need to reselect the first stick 6 or second stick 7 to be used, ensuring good usability.

[0042] In addition, the first storage section 11 and the second storage section 12 are each provided with a stopper section 14 that prevents the first thrust rod 6 and the second thrust rod 7 from slipping out. Therefore, the first thrust rod 6 or the second thrust rod 7 that is not in use can be reliably maintained in the first storage section 11 or the second storage section 12 without getting in the way. In particular, in this embodiment, the stopper sections 14 are formed to protrude into the first and second storage sections 11, 12 and have elasticity similar to that of the band body 31, so that the first and second thrust rods 6, 7 can be pressed and locked from the surface side by the pair of stopper sections 14, thereby making the above-mentioned effect more pronounced.

[0043] Furthermore, the first storage section 11 and the second storage section 12 open to the rear surface of the 12 o'clock side band section 34, and the first storage section 11 and the second storage section 12 are provided with receiving sections 13 that receive the tips 6b, 7b of the first thrust rod 6 and the second thrust rod 7. Therefore, when storing the first thrust rod 6 and the second thrust rod 7 in the first storage section 11 and the second storage section 12, the tips 6b, 7b can be pressed against the receiving section 13, so that the first thrust rod 6 and the second thrust rod 7 can be stored in the first storage section 11 and the second storage section 12 in the proper state. At the same time, when using the first thrust rod 6 and the second thrust rod 7 stored in the first storage section 11 and the second storage section 12, as shown in Figure 4, the first thrust rod 6 and the second thrust rod 7 can be extremely easily removed by pushing their base ends 6a, 7a out from the back side of the 12 o'clock side band section 34 with finger F against the anti-slip force of the anti-slip section.

[0044] In the present embodiment, the 6 o'clock side band part 33 is provided with a plurality of first protruding holes 4a (first fixing holes) forming a first row R1 and a plurality of second protruding holes 4b (second fixing holes) forming a second row R2, and the plurality of second protruding holes 4b are arranged in a shifted manner from the plurality of first protruding holes 4a in the length direction of the 6 o'clock side band part 33 (band main body 31). That is, the configuration in which the plurality of protruding holes are arranged in two rows has been described. However, this is not limited to this, and in the present invention, as long as the plurality of protruding holes are arranged in a shifted manner for each row, the plurality of protruding holes may be arranged in a plurality of rows of three or more rows. In that case, the number of protruding holes may be increased according to the number of rows. In that case, for example, if the plurality of protruding holes are arranged in three rows, the intervals between the protruding holes in each row may be the same, and the position of the protruding holes in each row may be shifted by 1 / 3 pitch in the length direction of the 6 o'clock side band part 33 from the adjacent row. Furthermore, it is sufficient that the plurality of protruding holes are arranged in a shifted manner for each row, and the intervals between the protruding holes in each row do not have to be uniform.

[0045] In addition, in this embodiment, a configuration has been described in which a single band body 31 has a plurality of first and second thrust rod holes 4a, 4b provided on one end side and a first and second thrust rods 6, 7 provided on the other end side, but the present invention is not limited to this and can also be applied to, for example, a band composed of a pair of band pieces connected to each other.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the present invention has been described as being applied to a wristwatch, but the present invention is not necessarily applicable to wristwatches, and can also be applied to, for example, various types of straps used in various types of attachment devices worn on the arm, and various types of straps used in bags, purses, etc. In that case, if the present invention is applied to, for example, a strap that does not require high connection strength, the multiple prongs may not be attached to an axis component such as the mounting axis 8, but may be made rotatable around a common axis of rotation by any other structure.

[0047] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and includes the inventions described in the claims and their equivalents.
