Printed Flexible Wristband

Abstract

In some implementations, the wristband may include one or more edges 102 defining a perimeter of the wristband. The wristband may include a first lattice webbing extending between first portions of the one or more edges and may include a second lattice webbing extending between second portions of the one or more edges and separated from the first lattice webbing by an air gap. One the one or more edges, the first lattice webbing, and the second lattice webbing are formed from additive layers without seams.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wristband comprising:
 one or more edges defining a perimeter of the wristband;   a first lattice webbing extending between first portions of the one or more edges;   a second lattice webbing extending between second portions of the one or more edges and separated from the first lattice webbing by an air gap; and   wherein the one or more edges, the first lattice webbing, and the second lattice webbing are formed from one or more elastomeric polymers constructed from additive layers without seams using a three-dimensional printing process.   
     
     
         2 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein one or more of the first lattice webbing or the second lattice webbing is formed from one or more shapes arranged in a pattern. 
     
     
         3 . The wristband of  claim 1 , further including:
 a solid shape formed on the first lattice webbing; and   one or more of lettering or a logo debossed on the solid shape.   
     
     
         4 . The wristband of  claim 3 , further including an ink pattern printed onto one or more of the solid shape or the lettering or the logo. 
     
     
         5 . The wristband of  claim 1 , further including an embossed logo formed on the first lattice webbing. 
     
     
         6 . The wristband of  claim 5 , further including an ink pattern printed onto the embossed log. 
     
     
         7 . The wristband of  claim 1 , wherein one or more of the first lattice webbing or the second lattice webbing includes one or more shapes, each shape is formed from a plurality of elements, at least some of the plurality of elements having a spatially variable thickness. 
     
     
         8 . The wristband of  claim 7 , wherein one or more of the plurality of elements has a thickness of approximately 0.6 mm. 
     
     
         9 . The wristband of  claim 1 , further including an internal lattice extending between the first lattice webbing and the second lattice webbing. 
     
     
         10 . A wristband comprising:
 one or more edges defining a perimeter of the wristband;   a first lattice webbing extending between first portions of the one or more edges, the first lattice webbing including a first shape;   at least one second lattice webbing extending between second portions of the one or more edges and separated from the first lattice webbing by an air gap, the at least one second lattice webbing including one or more of the first shape or a second shape; and   wherein the one or more edges, the first lattice webbing, and the at least one second lattice webbing are formed from one or more elastomeric polymers constructed from additive layers without seams.   
     
     
         11 . The wristband of  claim 10 , wherein:
 the first lattice webbing includes multiple instances of the first shape arranged in one of a regular pattern or a random configuration of the first shape having different sizes; and   the second lattice webbing includes the one or more of the first shape or the second shape repeated multiple times and arranged in one of a regular pattern or a random configuration.   
     
     
         12 . The wristband of  claim 10 , further including:
 a solid shape formed on the first lattice webbing; and   one or more of lettering or a logo debossed on the solid shape.   
     
     
         13 . The wristband of  claim 12 , further including an ink pattern printed onto one or more of the solid shape or the lettering or the logo. 
     
     
         14 . The wristband of  claim 10 , further including an embossed logo formed on the first lattice webbing. 
     
     
         15 . The wristband of  claim 14 , further including an ink pattern printed onto the embossed log. 
     
     
         16 . The wristband of  claim 10 , wherein each shape is formed from a plurality of elements, at least some of the plurality of elements having a spatially variable thickness. 
     
     
         17 . The wristband of  claim 16 , wherein one or more of the plurality of elements has a thickness of approximately 0.6 mm. 
     
     
         18 . A wristband comprising:
 one or more edges defining a perimeter of the wristband;   a first lattice webbing extending between first portions of the one or more edges, the first lattice webbing including a first pattern comprised of at least one first shape;   a second lattice webbing extending between second portions of the one or more edges and separated from the first lattice webbing by an air gap, the second lattice webbing including a second pattern comprised of at least one second shape;   an internal lattice that extends between the first lattice webbing and the second lattice webbing; and   wherein:
 each shape is formed from a plurality of elements, at least some of the plurality of elements having a spatially variable thickness; and 
 the one or more edges, the first lattice webbing, and the second lattice webbing are formed from one or more elastomeric polymers constructed from additive layers without seams. 
   
     
     
         19 . The wristband of  claim 18 , wherein:
 the first pattern includes one of a regular configuration or a random configuration of the at least one first shape; and   the second pattern includes one of a regular configuration or a random configuration of the at least one second shape.
