A coupling pin connection for releasably attaching a watchband to a watchcase. The watchband includes an end connector that defines an aperture for interfitting engagement with a lug member projecting from the watchcase. The lug member defines a groove in communication with a recessed section formed in the watchcase. The end connector includes bore extending through shoulder portions on opposite sides of the aperture. A coupling pin member is selectively insertable through registered alignment of the bore and the groove. The coupling pin member further includes a spline. The spline is adapted for engagement within the recessed section when the coupling pin member is rotatable about its longitudinal axis to provide positive securement of the watchband to the watchcase.
A coupling pin connection for securing a watchband to a watchcase comprising a watchband having an end connector, said end connector defining an aperture, said aperture extending through the thickness dimension of the watchband, said end connector further including shoulder portions on opposed sides of the aperture, a bore extending transversely within the shoulder portions, said bore being in communication with the aperture, said watchcase having at least one lug member projecting therefrom, said lug member being snugly accommodatable within the aperture, a groove extending through the lug member, said groove defining a recessed section within the watchcase, a coupling pin member, said coupling pin member being selectively insertable into the bore in one of the shoulder portions for passage through the groove in the lug member and into the bore in the other of said shoulder portions, said coupling pin member further being rotatably displaceable about its longitudinal axis in a first direction for engagement with the recessed section to releasable secure the coupling pin member within the respective bores and to thereby secure the watchband to the watchcase.
A coupling pin connection for securing a watchband to a watchcase comprising a watchband having an end connector, a watchcase having a lug member, said lug member being selectively engageable within the end connector, said lug member further defining a groove having a recessed section, a coupling pin member, said coupling pin member being insertable through the end connector and the groove in the lug member, said inserted coupling pin member further being rotatably displaceable along its longitudinal axis for engaging the recessed section to thereby secure the watchband to the watchcase.
A coupling pin connection for attaching a band to a case comprising a lug member extending from the case, said lug member defining a groove, a band end connector defining an aperture for receiving the lug member, said end connector including a bore, said bore being registrable with the groove when the lug member is seated within the aperture, said groove further being in communication with a recessed section in the case, a coupling pin member being insertable through the bore and the groove engaging with said coupling pin being selectively engagable with the recessed section to prevent withdrawal of the coupling pin member.
