A buckle includes a folding member, a buckle cover pivotably linked to the folding member, a slide plate supported slidably relative to the buckle cover in the longitudinal direction of the band, and a swing arm rotatably supported by the buckle cover. The slide plate has a plurality of groove sections provided along the longitudinal direction. The swing arm includes a base, an arm section, an engagement click, and an operation strip, and is supported rotatably in a first rotational direction in which the engagement click engages with any of the groove sections and in a second rotational direction in which the engagement click separates from the groove section. The folding member includes a protruding section that comes into contact with the operation strip to rotate the swing arm in the second rotational direction when the folding member is rotated relative to the buckle cover.

Consumer product attachment systems having locking or expansion characteristics

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a locking assembly for an attachment system of a consumer product. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an attachment unit that is configured to be inserted and removed from a housing of a consumer product. The attachment unit and/or the housing include an expansion component or other such locking assembly configured to releasably secure the attachment unit within the housing.

Attachment system for an electronic device

A removable module and a housing for an attachment system of a consumer product is described. The removable module includes a locking mechanism comprising a first portion having a substantially planar top surface and second portion that comprises a substantially non-planar bottom surface. The first portion and the second portion are coupled together. The locking mechanism also includes a first spring mechanism coupled between the first portion and the second portion. The first spring mechanism causes the first portion to be biased away from the second portion. The locking mechanism also includes a second spring mechanism. The second spring mechanism causes the substantially planar top surface of the first portion to be biased substantially flush with respect to the removable module and also causes the substantially non-planar bottom surface of the second portion to be biased proud with respect to the removable module.

The invention has two primary claims which in manipulating a clasp and connection to an opposing ring. Although applicable to any clasp system, it is especially relevant to jewelry connections in necklaces or bracelets whereby the connecting rings are quite small requiring visual acuity and manual dexterity to operate. This invention builds upon prior art described in the Spring Ring Patent No 267,112, Nov. 7, 1882. The first claim of this invention allows the user to pull back the plunger within the clasp ring and set it in a locked and open position allowing the user to gain manual dexterity for guiding the clasp towards the opposing ring. The second claim adds a feature in which a magnetic portion of the clasp and opposing ring allows the two rings to be guided towards each other and position them for connection. Since visual acuity is necessary, this magnetic guide is critical.

A location and fall detection system (and method) includes a wearable band, a local gateway, and a cloud server. The wearable band includes an MCU, a radio-frequency pulse transmitter that periodically transmits a pulse, and a continuously sensing fall detection sensor. The MCU operates in low power mode except when a pulse is periodically transmitted, and when a fall is detected and a fall alert is transmitted. The gateway includes a radio-frequency pulse receiver and a data communication link to a cloud server. If a periodic pulse transmission is not received within a set period, the gateway transmits a location alert message to the cloud server. If a fall alert message is received the gateway likewise transmits a fall alert message to the cloud server. The band may further include a distress button that when activated, causes a distress message to be sent to the cloud server. The cloud server will contact various responsible parties as specified such as caregivers and first responders.
