  • Watch band with reinforced construction
    Patent number: 7954680
    Abstract: A band with a reinforced construction. The band has an attachment portion that defines a connector bar passage, a reinforcement pin passage and a reinforcement plate recess intersecting both the connector bar passage and the reinforcement pin passage. The band also has a reinforcement plate and a reinforcement pin. The reinforcement plate defines a connector bar aperture and a reinforcement pin aperture, and is positioned within the reinforcement plate recess such that the connector bar aperture intersects the connector bar passage and the reinforcement pin aperture intersects the reinforcement pin passage. Typically, the reinforcement plate is formed from a resilient material, such as metal or hard plastic. The reinforcement pin is positioned within the reinforcement pin passage such that the reinforcement pin extends through the reinforcement pin aperture of the reinforcement plate.
