  • Patent number: 11832967
    Abstract: A wearable physiological signal detecting device includes a device main body and a telescopic structure. The device main body has a strap which surrounds to form a wearable space. The telescopic structure is disposed in the strap and has first surfaces and second surfaces. Each of the first surfaces faces the corresponding second surface. Each of the first surfaces and the corresponding second surface continuously move close and contact each other to assume a first state. The strap can be forced so that each of the first surfaces and the corresponding second surface move away from each other and have an angle to assume a second state. The size of the wearable space when the first surface and the corresponding second surface assume the second state is greater than the size of the wearable space when the first surface and the corresponding second surface assume the first state.

  • Patent number: 11064776
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a low profile expandable ring structure comprising a plurality of coupled blocks that each have a certain degree of translational movement with respect to each other. Each block has one or more downward curved loops or tubes protruding on the front side of the block which are inserted into openings on an adjacent block. A tensioned spring, passed through an internal channel of the coupled blocks, maintains the ring structure in a closed appearance but allows for expansion of the expandable ring structure through the translational movement of the blocks. The low-profile nature allows the expandable ring structure to be comfortable for the wearer.
