A strap enclosure that, when the two fastener tongues are looped through a ring on the opposite end, cinches and applies compression forces in a constrictive way and fastens on both left and right sides with a fastener, with a consequential fail-safe, double redundant feature.

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.

An elastic band for attachment over the juncture of a surgical glove and sleeve of a surgical gown is disclosed. The elastic band has an abrasive inner surface in contact with the juncture to limit movement of the band relative to the juncture. A circumferential portion of the inner surface is concave. The band may be of variable circumferences to fit the user, adjusting to the size of the user's wrist.

A strap (2) for a watch (1) comprising: a first fastening portion (4); a watch supporting portion (6); and a second fastening portion (8). The first and second fastening portions comprise a series of holes (22, 24) spaced along each fastening portion. The first fastening portion further comprises an opening (10) through which the second fastening portion can be threaded and at least one pin (12) projecting inwards from the strap so as to be received in a hole in the second fastening portion. The second fastening portion further comprises at least one pin (14) projecting inwards from the strap so as to be received in a hole in the first fastening portion when the second fastening portion is threaded through the opening and laid on top of the first fastening portion. The first fastening portion further comprises at least one peg (18) projecting outwards from the strap so as to engage in a hole in the second fastening portion.

A mounting device for holding a selected distal end of a bracelet having opposing joining members of a clasp in a selected position in order for an individual to fasten a cooperative portion of the clasp connecting the two ends of a bracelet on the wrist. The device includes a base with a bendable or formable elongated member such as a wire extending from the base. The free end of the wire has a holding mean such as a clip for removably holding a selected first end of the bracelet while the user aligns and positions the opposing second end portion of the clasp and joins or attaches them together. The holding members or jaws of the clip can be covered with a resilient material for holding the bracelet without scratching.

A lock mechanism includes a chain component and a lock connector component. The chain component has a head portion at one end. The lock connector component has a button portion, an accommodating space, and an opening disposed on a side adjacent to the button portion, wherein the opening space connects to the accommodating space. When the button portion is operated in a pressed state, the button portion is configured to block the head portion from entering or exiting the accommodating space via the opening. When the button portion is operated in a depressed state, the button portion is configured to allow the head portion to enter or exit the accommodating space via the opening.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a toy knitting device and a knitting kit including the toy knitting device and a breakaway clasp. The knitting device comprises a knitting body having an interior chamber in which a needle holder is rotatably coupled to the knitting device. The needle holder comprises a plurality of needles configured to move up and down the side of the needle holder as the needle holder rotates to grasp a knitting strand being fed into the interior chamber of the knitting body. The needle holder rotates by a plurality of engaged gears coupled to either an automated motor for automated rotation or a hand knob or crank for manual rotation. The needle holder comprises a center aperture through which the knitted product that is configured to receive an embellishment to be embedded within a hollow interior of the knitted product is inserted.

A panel bracelet includes a plurality of panels configured to be selectively replaceable within the bracelet, and a pair of panel holding frames, wherein each open panel holding frame is configured to hold a panel therein. Each panel holding frame includes a retaining bead that is received within a perimeter groove of the panel which is held within the panel holding frame to receive and retain the panel therein.

In some embodiments, a watch band or other wearable strap includes at least one tear away region at which the cross-sectional area of the base material is reduced, such that the force required to break away or tear away the wearable band from the body of the wearer is predetermined. In other embodiments, the material utilized to form the tear away region(s) of the wearable strap may alternatively or additionally have a lower ultimate tensile strength than the material utilized to form other portions of the wearable strap, again permitting the force required to break away or tear away the wearable band from the body of the wearer to be predetermined.

A wrist strap which comprises a first portion defining a first end of the wrist strap, and a second portion defining a second end of the wrist strap. The wrist strap further comprises an aperture located in the first portion, through which the second end of the strap is passable to define an overlapping region in which a part of the first portion and the second portion of the wrist strap overlap. A first L-shaped peg is located in one portion of the first and second portions, and a first hole in the strap located in the other portion of the first and second portions. A second L-shaped peg is located in the other portion of the first and second portions, and a second hole in the strap located in the one portion.
