  • Patent number: 12096829
    Abstract: Bands for electronic devices, including wearable devices, are designed to dynamically alter their shape (e.g., lengthen) in response to an external force. A band may include one or more interior structures disposed in an exterior structure. The interior structure(s) is/are pulled in tension by the exterior structure. When the interior structure(s) is/are pulled in tension, an additional force (e.g., by a user) that applies tension to the interior structure(s) may cause a relatively small change in tension to the interior structure(s). As a result, the band may appear to provide the same amount to users, despite users having a different wrist size/diameter. A similar phenomenon may occur to a single user when the user's wrist changes in size. Accordingly, based on the interior structure(s) being placed in tension by the exterior structure(s), the force provided by the band may appear constant to users.

  • Publication number: 20240074551
    Abstract: A watchband can comfortably secure an electronic device to a wrist of a user. The watchband can include a base having a contact surface opposite an engagement surface and an engagement ribbon forming loops on the engagement surface of the base for receiving a hook of a buckle. The engagement ribbon can be interwoven with the base to provide secure anchoring for the hook within one of the loops. The woven portions of the watchband can be securely coupled to end structures, such as the buckle, retaining rings, and/or a connector. The watchband provides adjustable lengths to accommodate different fit configurations as desired.

  • Patent number: 11812831
    Abstract: A cover for an electronic device may be formed from fabric. The cover may include a front cover portion and a rear cover portion that rotate relative to one another about a first bend axis. The front cover portion may have first and second panels that rotate relative to one another about a second bend axis. The cover may have flexible hinge regions along the first and second bend axes. The flexible hinge regions may include spacer fabric having first and second warp knit fabric layers and spacer strands coupled between the first and second warp knit fabric layers. Stiffeners may be used to stiffen portions of the cover between the flexible hinge regions. An inlay strand may be located in the flexible hinge region in the front cover portion to restrict the range of motion of the first panel relative to the second panel.

  • Publication number: 20220346531
    Abstract: A strap may have a strip of material. Sliding clasps may be attached to ends of left and right segments of the strip. Each sliding clasp may have a slot through which one of the segments slides to adjust strap length. The strap may be coupled to an item such as a device with a battery. The sliding clasps are each in a first mode in which the sliding clasp is locked to the strip and does not allow the strip to slide and a second mode in which the sliding clasp is unlocked and allows the strip to slide. Rotational motion, squeezing motions, and/or other motions may be used to transition the sliding clasp between locked and unlocked states.

  • Publication number: 20220079521
    Abstract: A system may include an electronic device that communicates with one or more wearable tags. The wearable tags may be placed on different parts of a user's body or clothing and may be used for one or more health-related functions such as posture monitoring, sun exposure monitoring, physical therapy, running assistance, fall detection, and other functions. The wearable tag may have different types of sensors that gather different types of sensor data depending on the health-related function that the wearable tag is being used for. A user may configure, control, and receive data from the wearable tag using an electronic device. The electronic device may be used to determine the location of the wearable tag on the user's body and to determine the desired health-related function for the wearable tag based on user input or based on sensor data gathered from the wearable tag.
