Abstract
According to an embodiment, a wearable device includes a frame including a first surface facing a part of the body of a user when the wearable device is worn on the user, and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a resizing structure on the first surface at least partially movable relative to the frame in response to pressure from the part of the body of the user. The resizing structure includes an elastic member which is deformable according to a shape of the part of the body of the user. The resizing structure includes a supporting member guiding a deformation of the elastic member by supporting the elastic member and extending from the first surface to cover at least a portion of the elastic member.
Claims18
A wearable device comprising:
- a frame including a first surface facing a part of a body of a user when the wearable device is worn on the user, and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
- and
- a resizing structure disposed on the first surface and including:
- a supporting member, supported by the frame, including a distal end portion spaced apart from the frame,
- an elastic member at least partially disposed on the distal end portion of the supporting member to be retracted toward the first surface of the frame when the wearable device is worn on a finger of the user, and
- at least one fastening member attached to the elastic member and configured to press the elastic member based on contact with the part of the body of the user,
- wherein the at least one fastening member includes a plurality of fastening members spaced apart from each other at designated interval, and
- wherein the resizing structure further includes gaps between the plurality of fastening members which expose at least a portion of the elastic member.
A wearable device comprising:
- a frame including:
- a first surface facing a part of a body of a user when the wearable device is worn on the user, and
- a second surface opposite to the first surface;
- a resizing structure on the first surface, wherein the resizing structure is at least partially movable relative to the frame in response to pressure from the part of the body of the user;
- a supporting structure extending from the resizing structure;
- and
- a battery between the supporting structure and the first surface,
- wherein the resizing structure includes:
- an elastic member which is deformable according to a shape of the part of the body of the user;
- a supporting member guiding a deformation of the elastic member by supporting the elastic member, wherein the supporting member extends from the first surface to cover at least a portion of the elastic member;
- and
- at least one fastening member attached to the elastic member and configured to press the elastic member by contacting the part of the body of the user.
