Claims36
A device for adjusting length of a personal adornment band comprising:
- a guide means connected to an end of the personal adornment band;
- a length adjusting section connected to another end of the personal adornment band and movably provided in a longitudinal direction of the personal adornment band and guided by the guide means;
- a manipulating member provided in the guide means so as to be moved in the longitudinal direction of the personal adornment band;
- an operation transmitting portion provided in the manipulating member;
- at least one stopper member for making contact with a part of the length adjusting section to stop the length adjusting section;
- and
- an operation changing means provided at a contact portion between the manipulating member and the stopper member, the operation changing means being provided for moving the stopper member in a lateral direction of the band so as to contact the stopper member with the length adjusting section to lock the length adjusting section when the manipulating member is moved in one of longitudinal directions, and for moving the stopper member in another lateral direction to release the stopper member from the length adjusting section when the manipulating member is moved in another longitudinal direction.
