2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional portable timepiece having a piercing attachment mechanism, there is a technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 1-128441 by the present applicant. The details are shown in FIG. In the figure, 101, 101a, 102, and 102a are piercings, 103 is a watch frame, and 104 is a piercing attachment mechanism.
According to the present technology, the pierce can be detachably attached to the mobile timepiece.

[0003]

However, in the art, the piercing is only fixed by the piercing attachment mechanism. For this reason, there is a possibility that the piercing may come off from the piercing attachment mechanism while using the portable timepiece. Although it is rare that the piercing will drop out, the piercing is expensive and may cause the user to drop the piercing. In order to prevent the pierce from falling off, it is sufficient to firmly hold the pierce by the piercing attachment mechanism, but on the other hand, there is a drawback that it is difficult to attach and detach when replacing the pierce.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mobile phone watch with a piercing attachment mechanism that can prevent the piercing from falling off, and also to inform the user at a glance that the piercing does not come off, causing anxiety about the piercing falling off. The purpose is not to let.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in a portable timepiece with a piercing attachment mechanism according to the present invention,
In a portable timepiece having a piercing attachment mechanism as a main body or an accessory of the main body, a detachment preventing means for the pierce held by the piercing attachment function is provided outside the periphery of the piercing attachment mechanism, and the decorative portion of the pierce is provided. A means for providing a dropout prevention mechanism having a holding portion for covering and a supporting portion for supporting the holding portion so as to be detachable from the decorative portion is adopted.

The main body means a main part and a container body for operating the portable timepiece, and the accessory of the main body is an accessory component of the portable timepiece other than the main body, which does not affect the clock function, for example. Means a watch band or chain. The holding portion is a member that holds or covers at least a part of the decorative portion so as not to drop from the main body. Removable means that the holding part is moved, and that the decorative part can be detached from the timepiece so that it can be removed, and can be worn so as not to come off. The decorative portion is a component member of the pierce, and refers to a needle portion of the pierce and a decorative body (precious metal, jewelry, etc.) other than the needle stopper (excluding the case where the decorative body is used).

[0007]

Since the piercing is constructed as described above, the needle portion can be held by the piercing attachment mechanism and the decorative portion can be held by the drop-out preventing mechanism. Further, the drop-out prevention means provided outside informs the user at first glance that the pierce will not drop out.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a portable timepiece with a piercing attachment mechanism according to the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a first embodiment, and piercings 3a, 3b are attached to piercing attachment mechanisms 2a, 2b provided on the wristwatch body 1.
Here, the holding portions 4c, 4 of the pierce dropout prevention mechanisms 4a, 4b
d is attached to the wristwatch body 1 so as to cover the decorative portions of the piercings 3a and 3b, respectively. 2 is a side view of FIG. 1 taken in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 (note that dimensions and the like are not exactly the same, and is a schematic reference diagram merely for showing the purpose of the configuration. The same applies to the corresponding drawings.) The positional relationship between the piercings 3a and 3b and the piercing dropout prevention mechanisms 4a and 4b is shown.

In order to attach / detach the piercings 3a, 3b to / from the wristwatch body 1, the watch band 5 is moved downward as shown in FIG. 4), the decorative member of the piercings 3a and 3b moves downward in the drawing by the elastic body (spring or the like), and the holding portions 4c and 4 of the piercing dropout prevention mechanisms 4a and 4b.
Without touching (detach) d, piercing attachment mechanism 2a,
It can be inserted and removed (removed) from 2b.

4 and 5 are views seen from the direction of arrow B in FIG. 1, FIG. 4 corresponding to each state of FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 corresponding to each state of FIG. The means for attaching the pierce dropout prevention mechanism 4b to the wristwatch body 1 may be a hinge 6 that rotatably connects the wristwatch body 1 and the pierce dropout prevention mechanism 4b. The arm portion 7 of the pierce dropout prevention mechanism 4b may be fixed to the main body 1 and may be an elastic body. The pierce dropout prevention mechanism 4a is similarly connected to the wristwatch body 1.

With the above structure, the relationship between the watch band 5 and the wristwatch body 1 is as shown in FIG. 2 when the wristwatch body 1 is worn on the arm (when in use).
The holding portions 4c and 4d prevent the a and 3b from falling off the wristwatch body 1. Further, when the wristwatch body 1 is removed from the wrist (when not in use), the watch band 5 does not hinder the movement of the pierce drop-out prevention mechanisms 4a and 4b as shown in FIG. 3, so that the holding portions 4c and 4d are pierced 3a and 3b. The piercings 3a and 3b can be easily pulled out or inserted from the piercing attachment mechanisms 2a and 2b by separating from the decorative portion.

FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the pierce dropout prevention mechanism 10 is provided on the hollow portion 8a of the heart-shaped wristwatch body 8.
Is provided. The holding portion 9a prevents the pierce 9 from falling off the heart-shaped wristwatch body 8. 7 is a view as seen from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 6, and the pierce dropout prevention mechanism 10 is provided on the watch band 11, and when the watch band 11 is moved in the direction of arrow A in FIG. The prevention mechanism 10 can be detached from the decorative portion of the pierce 9 together with the watch band 11 so that the pierce 9 can be detached from the heart-shaped wristwatch body 8. Also in this case, as in the case of the first embodiment, when the heart-shaped wristwatch body 8 is used, the pierce drop-out prevention mechanism 10 inevitably covers at least a part of the decorative portion of the pierce 9. It does not fall off the wristwatch body 8.

Further, in the second embodiment, since the pierce 9 is attached to the recessed portion 8a of the heart-shaped wristwatch body 8, the pierce having a larger decorative portion than that in the first embodiment is used. You can In addition, even one earring can balance the design of the watch. For this reason, one of the earrings for both ears is lost, and it is possible to effectively use the single earring that cannot be worn on the ear.

FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment, which is an example applied to the pocket watch body 12. The piercings 13 and 13a are prevented from falling off from the pocket watch body 12 by the piercing dropout prevention mechanisms 14 and 14 as in the above-described embodiments. The attachment of the pierce dropout prevention mechanisms 14, 14 to the pocket watch body 12 is performed by the shaft 16 as shown in FIG. 9 (representing the back surface of FIG. 8).
It is attached so that it can rotate freely. Further, the spring 17 for rotating the pierce drop-out prevention mechanism 14 around the shaft 16 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 9 and the holding portions 14a, 14b of the pierce drop-off prevention mechanism 14 cover at least a part of the decorative portion of the pierce 13, 13a. It has a stopper 18 for stopping at an appropriate position.

One end of the spring 17 is fixedly held by the pierce drop-out preventing mechanism 14 and the other end thereof is held by a back cover 19 of the pocket watch body 12 so as to be fixed. If necessary, a spring bias force may be applied to rotate the pierce dropout prevention mechanism 14 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 9, and a coil spring or the like may be used. Here, by moving the pierce dropout prevention mechanism 14 in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 9, the spring 17 contracts, and at the same time, the holding portions 14a, 14
b is separated from the piercings 13, 13a, and the piercings 13, 13a
The pocket watch body 12 can be attached and detached.

According to one of the three types of embodiments described above, the piercing attachment mechanism appears around the outside of the portable timepiece, and the user confirms that the pierce does not drop from the main body at a glance by the pierce dropout prevention mechanism. It is something that can be understood. The pierce dropout prevention mechanism is preferably designed as a part of the watch design, and the material thereof may be metal (including precious metal and plated precious metal) or glassy material (including jewelry). . Also, a combination of these (such as a metal frame into which a glass-like material is fitted) may be used, and the shape thereof may be any as long as it can prevent the pierce from falling off, and various shapes can be given. .

[0017]

As described above, according to the portable timepiece with the piercing attachment mechanism of the present invention, there are at least the following effects. (A) Since the pierce can be held not only by the attachment mechanism but also by the fall-out preventing means, the pierce attached to the portable timepiece does not fall off easily. Further, since the holding force of the hand portion by the attachment mechanism can be reduced, the piercing can be easily attached to and detached from the portable timepiece. (B) The fall prevention mechanism can reduce the anxiety that the user holds the pierce drop. (C) The fall prevention mechanism itself can be used as a decoration for a watch. (D) Since the fall-out prevention mechanism can be seen, the user can understand that the structure is such that the pierce does not fall off at first glance.
