Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" This invention applies decoration to the edges in the width direction, and
This invention relates to a watch band that can be manufactured by pressing a metal plate.

"Conventional technology and its problems" Among watch bands, those with a structure in which stainless steel plates are pressed out and the pieces are connected by bending etc. achieve low cost without significantly compromising the appearance. It has the advantage of being able to

However, on the other hand, since it is a combination of bridge bodies made of so-called plate materials, it has a poor design and a simple shape, so there is a problem that it gives the impression of being cheap.

The present invention aims to effectively solve these problems.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The watch band according to the present invention has a winding piece of a connecting piece wrapped around a support edge formed by opening a window in the main piece, and the adjacent main pieces are rotated. The main piece is composed of a plurality of movably connected pieces, and the main piece is made by overlapping a plate-shaped upper piece body and a lower piece body in the thickness direction, and the upper piece body and the lower piece body have the same A window portion having a size and a window edge portion serving as the supporting edge portion are formed, and the width direction dimension of the band in the upper piece body is
A configuration is adopted in which the surface of the lower piece, which is smaller than the dimension in the width direction of the band in the lower piece and is exposed when the upper and lower pieces are overlapped, is used as a decorative portion.

When the upper piece body and the lower piece body that constitute the main piece are overlapped, there is a difference in level between the upper piece body and the lower piece body, and a part of the surface of the lower piece body which is large in size. By taking advantage of the fact that these parts are exposed, these parts are given decorative properties. The two pieces are fixed by winding the connecting piece. Furthermore, it is possible to manufacture the watch band from a plate material, and it is possible to provide a watch band with decorative properties and a high-class appearance at a low cost.

"Embodiment" An embodiment of the watch band according to the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 4.

As mainly shown in FIG. 1, the watch band of one embodiment connects adjacent main pieces 1 to each other by means of a wrapping piece 2a of a connecting piece 2 formed by pressing a metal plate. However, the main piece 1 is composed of an upper piece body 3 and a lower piece body 4.

To explain the details, the upper piece body 3 and the lower piece body 4 are intentionally changed in length direction dimensions and shapes of the band, so that a part of the surface and side surfaces of the lower piece body 4 are overlapped. In the state that
It is set so that it protrudes from the upper piece body 3 and is exposed.

To explain an example of manufacturing such two piece bodies 3 and 4, as shown in Fig. 4, a metal plate is punched to form rectangular bodies A and B of different lengths, and a hole is inserted approximately in the center of the rectangular bodies A and B. The window portions 3a, 4a are opened, and then the window edges 3b, 4b are pressed in the direction of the back surface or the direction of the front surface to form both piece bodies 3,4. The window edge portions 3b, 4b of both the frame bodies 3, 4 are crushed in the direction of the back surface and the front surface and become thinner, resulting in a state where a step C is formed between the front surface and the back surface.
This step C portion is the winding piece 2a of the connecting piece 2.
This is the winding allowance. Furthermore, when both pieces 3 and 4 are overlapped, a main piece 1 is formed as shown in FIG. 4.

Then, by inserting the winding pieces 2a of the connecting piece 2 into the windows 3a, 4a of the main piece 1 as shown by the arrows in FIG.
By winding the main pieces 1, a plurality of main pieces 1 are connected one after another. A connecting piece and a stopper for attaching to the watch body are provided at the ends where a plurality of pieces 1 and 2 are connected to each other to form a completed watch band.

In addition, when winding the winding pieces 2a of the connecting piece 2, as shown in FIG. 2a to support edge 1a
Wrap it loosely around it and set it to allow vertical rotation as shown in Figure 3. When connected by such a device, in the connected watch band as shown in Figs. Since a part of the support edge 1a wrapped around the piece 2a is connected to be rotatable with respect to the winding direction,
This results in flexibility in the winding direction of the entire watch band.

Furthermore, the exposed portion of the lower piece body 4 (see Fig. 2) created by overlapping both pieces 3 and 4 is
By considering various designs, it can be actively used as a decorative part D, and even though the main piece 1 and the connecting piece 2 are made of plate material, a watch band with a high-class feel can be produced at a low cost. It will be possible to provide.

Next, FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the main piece 1 of the watch band according to the present invention, in which a decorative part such as a light colored plate is provided between the upper piece 3 and the lower piece 4. While holding 5, part of it is exposed,
A change in design is applied to the part protruding from the connecting piece 2.

Note that the present invention includes the following embodiments.

The connecting pieces 2 should be arranged in multiple rows.

The shape of the part where the main piece 1 protrudes from the connecting piece 2 is made into a shape other than a rectangle.

Processing the support edge 1a thinly by cutting or other means other than pressing.

Adopt a method such as integrating both pieces 3 and 4 in advance by spot welding or the like and then winding them with the connecting piece 2.

"Effects of the invention" The watch band according to the invention has the following effects.

(1) The main piece is made up of an upper piece and a lower piece that are overlapped in the thickness direction, but the width of the band is such that the lower piece is larger than the upper piece. By setting this, a step is formed between the upper piece and the lower piece, and a part of the surface of the lower piece is exposed, so these can be used as decorative parts to enhance the design. can be improved.

(2) The main piece is composed of a plate-shaped upper piece body and a lower piece body, and the upper piece body and the lower piece body have
Since a window portion of the same size and a window edge portion serving as a support edge are formed, and the winding piece of the connecting piece is wound, it is possible to form the main piece and the connecting piece each from a metal plate, and to It becomes possible to perform operations such as forming the watch band by press working, and the watch band can be provided at low cost.
