Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to a belt used primarily as a watch band.

"Prior art" A belt consisting of a surface member and a lining member made of leather or a material similar to leather, both of which are directly or indirectly joined, preferably each covering the longitudinal edge of the other belt member. A belt is already known from Austrian Patent Publication No. 252 634.

``Object of the Invention'' The object of the present invention is to provide a watch band that intentionally releases fragrance from the surface of the belt and is mainly used by being wrapped around the wrist.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' Therefore, the present invention is composed of a surface member and a lining member made of leather or a material similar to leather, and one member covers the longitudinal side of the other member. In the belt formed by joining the two members together, the two members are joined by an adhesive layer formed almost continuously between the two members, and at a position separated from the backing member via the adhesive layer. interposing a fragrance or a fragrance mixture in an area adjacent to the adhesive layer of a surface member;
Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that a plastic sheet or other surface layer is provided on a part of the outer surface of the surface layer member to partially prevent the fragrance from escaping from the surface layer member.

"Function" For example, by containing a fragrance or a fragrance mixture in the surface layer member outside the adhesive layer that joins the surface layer member and the lining member constituting the belt, it is possible to prevent the scent of the fragrance from entering the lining member side. , the fragrance can be applied to the outside from the surface side of the surface layer member.

Moreover, since the fragrance-containing layer is present in the area of the surface member adjacent to the adhesive layer, the fragrance evaporates uniformly over a long period of time, making it possible to obtain a uniform fragrance over a long period of time.

Furthermore, since the adhesive layer is formed as a nearly continuous adhesive layer over the entire surface of the lining member in order to prevent the fragrance from permeating to the lining member side, the permeation of the fragrance to the lining member is completely prevented. be done.

In particular, the present invention provides a layer such as a plastic sheet on a part of the outer surface of the surface member that prevents the evaporation of perfume, so that when the present invention configured as a watch band is wrapped around the wrist, the side opposite to the watch body is The fragrance can be applied only from the side of the arm, that is, the side close to the body that is not exposed to direct sunlight, thereby achieving a long-lasting fragrance. It is also possible to configure the device so that the fragrance is generated only from the front side, and in either case, effective fragrance is possible.

In addition, the fragrance or fragrance mixture is not only a liquid or powder, but also microcapsules encapsulating the fragrance, and when the belt is used, the microcapsules are placed in an area where a compressive load is applied by a fastener or the like. may be configured.

In this case, by crushing the capsules using a belt fastener or other compression means, it is possible to prevent unnecessary fragrance from being produced in inventory, and to allow the user to use fragrance only when using the belt.

"Embodiments" Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described by way of example with reference to the drawings. However, unless otherwise specified, the dimensions, materials, shapes, and relative arrangements of the components described in this example are not intended to limit the scope of this invention, but are merely illustrative examples. It's nothing more than that.

1 to 3 show a belt according to an embodiment of the present invention, and show a watch band 1 having a perforated portion 1a.
shows.

The watch band 1 is composed of a surface member 2 made of leather or a material similar to leather, and a lining member 3. Both members 2, 3 are bonded by an adhesive layer 4 formed almost continuously between the two members 2, 3. At the same time, a fragrance or a fragrance mixture 7 is interposed in a region on the surface member 2 side adjacent to the adhesive layer 4.

Further, the vertical side edges 5 of the surface layer member 2 are bent around the vertical side surface 6 of the lining member 3 and are bonded so as to cover the vertical side surface 6. As a result, it is possible to prevent the two members 2 and 3 from peeling off, and to obtain a watch band 1 that is favorable in terms of appearance. Of course, the vertical side edges of the lining member 3 may be bent around the vertical side surfaces 6 of the surface layer member 2. One end of the watch band 1 having such a structure has an eye hole 10 into which a watch holding pin is inserted, and the watch body can be rotatably connected to the watch body through the eye hole 10 and the watch holding pin.

Next, to explain the materials of each member, the surface layer member 2 and the lining member 3 are made of natural leather, artificial leather, or similar materials, and are not made of a single material, but are made of a fabric made of these materials. It may also be formed from a combination of fibers, etc.

The adhesive layer 4 may be formed by applying or spraying an adhesive liquid onto the surfaces of both the members 2 and 3, or may be formed by pasting a thin film having adhesive action on the surface of the backing member 3. .

The fragrance or fragrance mixture 7 may be either liquid or powder, and is applied to a part or all of the area on the surface member 2 side by coating, impregnating, or the like.

Next, the manufacturing procedure of this example will be explained.

First, both vertical side edges 5 sides are formed thin, and the width is set to cover the vertical side surface 6 of the lining member 3.On the surface facing the lining member 3 of the surface member 2, one or more types of By spraying a fragrance solution consisting of
The fragrance 7 is permeated into the surface layer member 2 adjacent to the back surface to impregnate the fragrance.

Next, the facing surfaces 11 of the award member 2 and the lining member 3
After covering almost the entire surface of the adhesive layer 4 with an adhesive, heat and pressure are applied to the adhesive layer 4 using a molding press to join the surface layer member 2 and the lining member 3.
The watch band 1 according to the embodiment is assembled by folding back the vertical side edges 5 of the lining member 3 to the vertical side 6 side of the lining member 3 and joining the vertical side edges 5 so as to cover the vertical side 6 of the lining member 3.
is manufactured. At this time, the heat applied by the molding press is preferably set to such an extent that the fragrance 7 does not undergo chemical changes.

4 to 6 show a predetermined area 13 of the surface member 2.
This is another example in which fragrance is applied only to the skin, and the differences from the previous example will be mainly explained.

The surface layer member 2 has an adhesive layer 4 as in the above embodiment.
A fragrance or fragrance mixture 7 is interposed on almost the entire area adjacent to the area, and a fragrance impermeable layer 14 (surface layer) is applied to a predetermined area on the surface of the surface member 2 on the opposite side.
is hidden.

As a result, the fragrance under the fragrance impermeable layer 14,
7 portion moves along the surface member 2 to the area 13,
Therefore, together with the fragrance present in the area, the surface layer member 2
The evaporated fragrance 9 will be emitted from the surface.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the evaporated fragrance 9 of the fragrance 7 can be restricted to the specific area 13 of the surface layer member 2, and for example, the fragrance can be evaporated only from the wrist surface on the side opposite to the watch body, that is, the side close to the body. It is possible to configure the product so that it emits a fragrance 9, suppress the rapid evaporation of the fragrance due to direct sunlight, and make it possible to perform an effective fragrance 9 effect.

The fragrance-impermeable layer 14 used in this embodiment may be formed by bonding a plastic sheet or appropriately treated fragrance-impermeable leather to a predetermined position on the surface of the surface member 2. It may be formed by coating a predetermined area 14 of the surface layer member 2 with an adhesive.

As another embodiment of the present invention, microcapsules encapsulating a perfume or a perfume mixture 7 may be formed by closing them in a region on the surface member 2 side adjacent to the adhesive layer 4.

This type of microcapsule is known in the art, for example, by uniformly dispersing a fragrance in an aqueous gelatin-gum arabic solution and then precipitating coacervate around the dispersed fragrance particles. It is formed.

The fragrance 9 can be produced by crushing such microcapsules with compression force.

Therefore, by applying compression means to the watch band 1 encapsulating such microcapsules, unnecessary fragrance 9 in inventory can be prevented, and the user can use fragrance 9 only when using the watch band 1.

Although the compression means may be configured to be performed manually, the watchband 1 can be compressed by closing the loop of the eyelet 10 into which the watch holding pin is inserted or the hole opening 1a into which the fastener is fixed. When the microcapsules are inserted into the clasp and fixed by folding back, they are crushed by the compressive force and automatically release the fragrance 9.
can be done.

Note that such microcapsules do not necessarily have to be provided only in the area adjacent to the lining member 3 of the surface layer member 2.

For example, the eye holes 10 and the perforated portion 1a for fixing the fasteners are not areas that come into direct contact with the skin, and there is a predetermined distance between the skin and the lining member 3, so there is Even if the microcapsules are closed, it is possible to obtain the same effects as in the embodiments described above.

"Effects of the Invention" As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a uniform fragrance over a long period of time from a predetermined part of the belt, and to prevent unnecessary fragrance from being applied to the side of the body that comes into contact with the belt. , it can create an effective belt fragrance. It has various effects such as
