Abstract
A universal reversible watch band device includes a pair of watch band members having a spring bar positioned along one end and a plurality of buckle receivers positioned along the other end. Each of the spring bars including elongated tubular members having a fixed protrusion at a first end, a retractable protrusion at a second end and a pair of actuators located along a middle portion of the tubular member. The device also includes a buckle having a plurality of surfaces and a central pin.
Claims15
A universal reversible watch band device, said device comprising:
- a pair of essentially identically sized watch band members, each of said watch band members including
- a main body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end, a second end and a pair of opposing side sections,
- a plurality of buckle receivers that are disposed along the main body at a location that is adjacent to the second end of the main body,
- an elongated channel that is disposed along the first end of the main body, said channel extending between the opposing side sections, and
- a transverse aperture extending from the top surface to the bottom surface and extending through a center portion of the elongated channel;
- a pair of spring bars, each of said spring bars functioning to secure one of the watch band members to a timepiece, each of said spring bars including
- an elongated generally tubular member having a first end, a second end, and a middle section having a pair of elongated openings disposed therein,
- a fixed protrusion extending linearly outward from the first end of the tubular member,
- a retractable protrusion extending linearly outward from the second end of the tubular member, and
- a pair of shaft actuators extending outward from the elongated openings of the middle portion of the tubular member, said shaft actuators functioning to transition the spring bar to which they are attached between an extended position and a retracted position;
- and
- a buckle functioning to secure each of the watch band members together,
- wherein the elongated channel of each of the watch band members includes a shape and dimension suitable for receiving one of the spring bars, and the transverse aperture of each of the watch band members includes a shape and dimension suitable for receiving the shaft actuators of the inserted spring bars.
