The present disclosure describes a multi-configuration jewelry piece. The multi-configuration jewelry piece has a band with a first end and a second end, a first housing, and a second housing. The first housing couples to the first end. The second housing couples to the second end. Each of the first housing and the second housing define a cavity. The cavity houses a first magnet and a second magnet. The first magnets and the second magnets are configured to join the first housing to the second housing. Each of the first magnet and the second magnet has a north pole and a south pole. The north pole of the first magnet and the south pole of the second magnet face a first direction. The south pole of the first magnet and the north pole of the second magnet face a second direction opposite the first direction.

A bracelet clasp (1) including a strip (2), a first end (20) whereof is hinged to a first end (30) of a first bracelet strand (3), and the second end (21) of the strip (2) is free, said strip (2) having a cut-out (5) forming at least a rigid portion (22) and two opposing deformable portions (23, 24), each including a hook (6, 6′) arranged to engage with a hole (40) in a second bracelet strand (4) and to lock the clasp on said second strand (4), simultaneous pressures exerted on the deformable portions (23, 24) resulting in the unlocking of the clasp.

A wearable electronic device assembly has a strap attached to the device for attaching the device to a wearer, and a connector for securing two overlapping end regions of the strap together. The connector has first and second parts configured to be secured together with the two overlapping end regions of the strap extending between them, to secure the two end regions together. The first part has a projection arranged to extend through or adjacent to the strap. The second part has a main body having an aperture to receive the projection of the first part, and a securement part movable with respect to the main body between a released position and a securement position. The projection is retained in the aperture to secure the first part of the connector to the second part of the connector.

A wristband can comfortably secure an electronic device, such as a wristwatch or fitness/health tracking device, to a wrist of a user. The wristband can include a number of magnets that allow the wristband to be magnetically coupled to itself when folded over or when separate band portions are overlapping. The magnets can include a polymer mixed with a magnetic material to provide magnetic properties and flexibility. The magnets can be joined together by a continuous support structure that extends through opposing pairs of the magnets. The support structure can provide substantial and ability as well as tensile strength. The magnets and the support structure can be surrounded by a flexible cover to protect the components within.

Low-profile latching mechanisms and related mechanical interfaces for allowing straps and other fastening accessories for limb-wearable devices are provided. The mechanisms in question allow for a very strong, yet easily releasable, connection to be made between a strap accessory and a device housing, with very little of the mechanism being visible.

A wearable object including a middle of a case, a bracelet, and a fastening system for removably securing the bracelet to the middle, the middle including two longitudinal cavities configured to form a slide-bar and receive a hooking head of the bracelet of complementary shape and configured to cooperate by sliding. The fastening system includes elastic casing elements to bolt the axial movement of the hooking head inside the longitudinal cavity, the elastic casing elements including: a rigid bolting protrusion, arranged on an inner wall of each of the longitudinal cavities, cooperating with; two obstacles arranged in the vicinity of an elastic portion of the hooking heads, the obstacles delimiting an inter-obstacle space designed to receive the bolting protrusion and form locking elements of the bolting protrusion; the elastic casing elements being configured to elastically distort the elastic portion of the hooking head during the insertion of the bracelet.

A metallic mesh material used to form a portion of a band or securing strap for a wearable electronic device. The band may include a magnetic tab for securing a wearable device to the wrist of a user. The tab may include one or magnetic elements that are configured to engage a surface of the mesh to secure the wearable device to the wrist of a user.

A wearable electronic device assembly has a strap attached to the device for attaching the device to a wearer, and a connector for securing two overlapping end regions of the strap together. The connector has first and second parts configured to be secured together with the two overlapping end regions of the strap extending between them, to secure the two end regions together. The first part has a projection arranged to extend through or adjacent to the strap. The second part has a main body having an aperture to receive the projection of the first part, and a securement part movable with respect to the main body between a released position and a securement position. The projection is retained in the aperture to secure the first part of the connector to the second part of the connector.

The invention relating to a locking mechanism is provided herein. The invention is composed of a pin adapted with a circumferential pin notch; a lock housing; a chamber with a chamber pin slot for receiving the pin and adapted to mate with the lock housing; a set of a given number of uniformly dimensioned ball bearings; a bearing housing adapted to fit inside the chamber, adapted to contain the ball bearings while enabling horizontal movement of the ball bearings and restraining vertical movement of the ball bearings, and adapted with a bearing housing pin slot for receiving the pin. When the pin is inserted into the chamber pin slot, the pin applies horizontal force to the ball bearings, which in turn deform the inside of the chamber. The ball bearings seat in the circumferential pin notch, locking the pin in place.

Systems and methods for dynamically adjusting the fit of a wearable electronic device are disclosed. In many embodiments, a tensioner associated with a wearable electronic device can control one or more actuators that are mechanically coupled to either the housing or to a band attached to the wearable electronic device. In one example, in response to a signal to increase the tightness of the band, the tensioner can cause the actuator(s) to increase the tension within the band.
