Band-Holding Mechanism, Wrist-Worn Device, Wrist-Worn Device Main Body, Band-Holding Unit, And Band

Abstract

A band-holding mechanism includes a band, a holding member, and an intermediate member. The band includes a first pin arranged in an engagement-side end portion with a case. The first pin extends in a width direction of the band. The holding member is configured to hold the band with the first pin caught on the holding member. The intermediate member supports the holding member. The intermediate member is attached to the case or inseparable from the case.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A band-holding mechanism comprising:
 a band including a first pin arranged in an engagement-side end portion with a case, the first pin extending in a width direction of the band;   a holding member configured to hold the band with the first pin caught on the holding member; and   an intermediate member supporting the holding member, the intermediate member being attached to the case or inseparable from the case.   
     
     
         2 . The band-holding mechanism according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the intermediate member has an introduction groove into which the first pin is insertable, and   the first pin is caught on the holding member by being inserted into the introduction groove.   
     
     
         3 . The band-holding mechanism according to  claim 2 , wherein the intermediate member supports the holding member to be movable between a fixation position for fixing the first pin to the introduction groove and an attachment/detachment position for removing the first pin from the introduction groove. 
     
     
         4 . The band-holding mechanism according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the holding member has a contact face that comes into contact with the first pin inserted into the introduction groove through an opening of the introduction groove, and   the contact face is at an oblique angle to a direction of insertion of the first pin to cause the holding member to move to the attachment/detachment position when the first pin in contact with the contact face is inserted further into the introduction groove.   
     
     
         5 . The band-holding mechanism according to  claim 3 , wherein the intermediate member includes a second pin by which the holding member is rotatably supported. 
     
     
         6 . The band-holding mechanism according to  claim 5 , wherein the intermediate member includes a third pin with which the intermediate member is attached to the case. 
     
     
         7 . The band-holding mechanism according to  claim 6 , wherein the intermediate member includes a spring rod serving as the second pin and the third pin. 
     
     
         8 . A wrist-worn device comprising:
 a case; and   the band-holding mechanism according to  claim 1 .   
     
     
         9 . A wrist-worn device main body comprising:
 a case;   a holding member configured to hold a band with a first pin, of the band, caught on the holding member; and   an intermediate member supporting the holding member, the intermediate member being attached to the case or inseparable from the case.   
     
     
         10 . A band comprising a first pin arranged in an engagement-side end portion with a case, the first pin extending in a width direction of the band, the band being configured to be coupled to the case by a holding member and an intermediate member, the first pin being caught on the holding member, the intermediate member supporting the holding member, the intermediate member being attached to the case or inseparable from the case.
