20240122316 · 2024-04-18 ·

A Brunnian link is a link formed from a closed loop doubled over itself to capture another closed loop to form a chain. The example kit provides for the successful creation of unique wearable articles using Brunnian link assembly techniques and includes several pin bars that are supported in a desired special orientation by at least one base. The desired special orientation is dependent on the desired linked configuration of the completed article. The pins may be assembled in various combination and orientations to provide endless variation of completed link orientations.

ARTICLE OF JEWELRY OR COSTUME JEWELRY COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF ORNAMENTAL ELEMENTS COUPLED TWO BY TWO WITH AT LEAST ONE SHOCK-ABSORBING SPACER ELEMENT ARRANGED THEREBETWEEN
20240122314 · 2024-04-18 ·

An article of jewelry or costume jewelry having at least one elastic or flexible support element and a plurality of ornamental elements fitted in succession on the elastic or flexible support element and coupled two by two along a development direction of the article of jewelry or costume jewelry is provided. Each ornamental element has a first coupling face for coupling to a subsequent contiguous ornamental element, the first coupling face having a raised formation, and an opposite second coupling face for coupling to a previous contiguous ornamental element, the second coupling face having a recess complementary in shape to the raised formation of the previous contiguous ornamental element. Two contiguous ornamental elements are coupled together by accommodating the raised formation of a first element of the two contiguous ornamental elements within the recess of a second element of the two contiguous ornamental elements, with at least one shock-absorbing spacer element arranged therebetween.

Disclosed is an operable bracelet. The operable bracelet enables a user to wrap around the operable bracelet on a body part of the user to support at least one hair accessory. The operable bracelet comprising a bracelet body having an oval or a circular shape; at least one retaining feature extended along with circumference of outer side of the operable bracelet to accommodate the at least one hair accessory; at least one elevated feature positioned on outer side of the operable bracelet in parallel to the at least one retaining feature and elevated above the bracelet body, configured to elevated the at least one hair accessory from the at least one retaining feature to make the at least one hair accessory accessible for removal.

Consistently-tight watch band

A watch band is disclosed. The watch band maintains a substantially constant tension throughout changes in its length while worn by a user. Such changes in length may occur automatically to accommodate changes in the size and circumference of a user's wrist as they move their wrist normally. By maintaining a constant tension, the watch band also maintains a constant force on the user's wrist, and causes a watch body attached to the watch band to also maintain a constant force on the user's wrist. This can increase a user's comfort, since the watch will not get tighter or constrict their wrist as they straighten and bend their wrist. It can also help optimize operation of any sensors in the watch band or watch body that benefit from being held against the user's wrist with a constant force, such as some physiological sensors.

Apparatus and Method for Displaying Information, Program, and Communication System

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for displaying information, a program, and a communication system, which enable the provision of an apparatus making use of a display device excellent in flexibility.

An information display apparatus includes a display unit including a time information presenting section for presenting at least time information and a band section to be worn on an arm, and a display control unit for changing a display of the display unit. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, the information display apparatus.
