Abstract

A wearing band including plural first zigzag springs and plural second zigzag springs. The plural first zigzag springs have axial directions in a length direction of a band body that is formed in a belt shape or a ring shape. The plural first zigzag springs are arrayed in the length direction and a width direction of the band body so as to form a section stretching and contracting in the length direction of the band body. The plural second zigzag springs have axial directions in the width direction of the band body and are arrayed in the length direction and the width direction of the band body so as to form a section stretching and contracting in the width direction of the band body. The plural second zigzag springs have a spring constant different to a spring constant of the plural first zigzag springs.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wearing band for an electronic device, the wearing band comprising:
a plurality of first zigzag springs having axial directions in a length direction of a band body that is formed in a belt shape or a ring shape, the plurality of first zigzag springs being arrayed in the length direction and a width direction of the band body so as to form a section stretching and contracting in the length direction of the band body; and
a plurality of second zigzag springs having axial directions in the width direction of the band body and arrayed in the length direction and the width direction of the band body so as to form a section stretching and contracting in the width direction of the band body, the plurality of second zigzag springs having a spring constant different to a spring constant of the plurality of first zigzag springs.

2. The electronic device wearing band of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first zigzag springs and the plurality of second zigzag springs are formed in the same single plane extending in the length direction and the width direction of the band body.

3. The electronic device wearing band of claim 1 , wherein:
the plurality of first zigzag springs form a plurality of first spring rows that are alongside each other in the width direction of the band body and that each include a plurality of the first zigzag springs arranged along the length direction of the band body;
the plurality of second zigzag springs form a plurality of second spring rows that are alongside each other in the length direction of the band body and that each include a plurality of the second zigzag springs arranged along the width direction of the band body; and
each of the plurality of second zigzag springs couples a coupling portion between adjacent first zigzag springs in one first spring row from out of the plurality of first spring rows to a coupling portion between adjacent first zigzag springs in another first spring row adjacent to the one first spring row from out of the plurality of first spring rows.

4. The electronic device wearing band of claim 3 , wherein a mounting section to which an electronic device body is mounted is formed to the band body.

5. The electronic device wearing band of claim 4 , further comprising a detachment section that is provided to the mounting section and that attaches and detaches the electronic device body.

6. The electronic device wearing band of claim 4 , further comprising a conductive pattern that is formed to the band body and that is electrically connected to the electronic device body.

7. The electronic device wearing band of claim 1 , wherein:
the band body has a belt shape;
a connection section is formed at one length direction end of the band body; and
a connected section to which the connection section connects is formed at the other length direction end of the band body.

8. The electronic device wearing band of claim 1 , wherein the band body has a ring shape.

9. The electronic device wearing band of claim 1 , wherein the first zigzag springs and the second zigzag springs are configured in a plate shape that runs along the length direction of the band body and the width direction of the band body.

10. The electronic device wearing band of claim 1 , wherein the spring constant of the first zigzag springs is smaller than the spring constant of the second zigzag springs.

11. The electronic device wearing band of claim 1 , wherein the spring constant of the second zigzag springs is smaller than the spring constant of the first zigzag springs.

12. The electronic device wearing band of claim 1 , wherein the size of the first zigzag springs is different to the size of the second zigzag springs.

13. The electronic device wearing band of claim 1 , wherein the outline profiles of the first zigzag springs and the second zigzag springs are regular octagonal shapes or circular shapes in plan view.

14. The electronic device wearing band of claim 1 , wherein line elements forming the first zigzag springs and the second zigzag springs are plate shaped or rounded rod shaped.

15. An electronic device comprising:
an electronic device body; and
a wearing band to which the electronic device body is mounted;
the wearing band including
a plurality of first zigzag springs having axial directions in a length direction of a band body that is formed into a belt shape or a ring shape, the plurality of first zigzag springs being arrayed in the length direction and a width direction of the band body so as to form a section stretching and contracting in the length direction of the band body, and
a plurality of second zigzag springs having axial directions in the width direction of the band body and arrayed in the length direction and the width direction of the band body so as to form a section stretching and contracting in the width direction of the band body, the plurality of second zigzag springs having a spring constant different to a spring constant of the plurality of first zigzag springs.
