There is. Generally, the manufacturer's name, etc. is affixed to the surface of this mounting bracket.

The people who used stopwatches, etc. were limited to referees of various competitions, coaches of each team, etc., but as clocks became electronic and their functions became multifunctional, they were used as clocks, stopwatches, laps, timers, etc. depending on the purpose. As new functions have been incorporated, the number of users has expanded.

Two strings 2 are attached to a stopwatch main body 1, and a mounting fitting 3 for adjusting the length of the strings 2 is attached so as to be able to slide up and down freely. The mounting bracket 3 is provided with a through hole 4 into which the string 2 can be inserted and a guide groove 6 into which the name plate 5 can be taken in and out. The name plate 5 is printed with the manufacturer's name on the front part 7, and the product is attached in this state when it is sold. And back part 8

When actually used, depending on the user's preference, the back side 8 may be used instead of the front side 7 as shown in Figure 1.In that case, insert the thin tip of a ballpoint pen or the like into the through hole 9 and use it as a guide to lift it upward. When lifted upward, the nameplate 5 will come out of the guide groove 6, so turn the nameplate 5 over and write your name in the margin, then insert it into the guide groove 6 and your name will appear on the front. , the owner of the stopwatch is specified.

As described above, the present invention is not limited to the stopwatch of one embodiment, but can be widely applied to portable watches.

This is a great idea.
