Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a wearable article that has a rotating body with a movement element that moves back and forth. The body is contained within a case and can be rotated around the person's surrounding. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a useful alternative to traditional wearable articles to improve comfort and flexibility for the person wearing the article.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the article is not placed in a proper viewing orientation, the article has to be moved relative to the viewer, or the wearer may even have to move himself / herself to allow the pattern, picture, figure or image presented or carried by the article to be properly viewed.

Embodiment Construction

[0062]FIG. 1 shows various components of a watch, being a wearable article, according to a first embodiment of the present invention, in which the watch is generally designated as 100, and FIG. 2 shows a top view of the watch 100.

[0063]The watch 100 includes a case body 102 and a case back 104 which are engageable with each other to form a watch case with a cylindrical interior cavity. A generally cylindrical rotation module 106 and an annular cam 108 are contained within the cylindrical interior cavity of the watch case formed by the case body 102 and case back 104. The cam 108 is fixedly attached to the case back 104 and thus to the watch case. A time adjustment pusher 110 is also provided, which is operable to allow setting and adjustment of the watch movement (to be discussed below) in the rotation module 106.

[0064]Turning to FIG. 3, such shows various components of the rotation module 106. The rotation module 106 includes a base 112 with a cavity 114 within which a watch moveme...

Abstract

A watch (100, 200, 300) is disclosed as including a case and a rotation module (106, 206, 306) with a longitudinal axis (L-L, N-N, P-P), in which the rotation module (106, 206, 306) is contained within the case and freely rotatable relative to the case about the longitudinal axis (L-L, N-N, P-P), the rotation module (106, 206, 306) including a number of movement parts (134, 234, 334), and, upon rotation of the rotation module (106, 206, 306) relative to the case, the movement parts (134, 234, 334) are each movable relative to the rotation module (106, 206, 306) and to-and-fro along a respective path (Lm1-Lm1, Lm2-Lm2, Lm3-Lm3, Lm4-Lm4, Nm1-Nm1, Nm2-Nm2, Nm3-Nm3, Nm4-Nm4, Pm1-Pm1, Pm2-Pm2, Pm3-Pm3, Pm4-Pm4).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a wearable article, which may be worn or carried by a user.[0002]In the jewelry industry and fashion accessory industry, wearable articles have been made available in which the articles may present or carry a pattern, figure, picture or image which may best be viewed when the article is in a certain orientation relative to the viewer. To facilitate reading of the time of a watch (which is also a wearable article), the watch should be placed in an orientation relative to the viewer to enable him / her to view the watch face in a certain direction, e.g. from the 6-o'clock position towards the 12-o'clock position generally. However, when the article is not placed in a proper viewing orientation, the article has to be moved relative to the viewer, or the wearer may even have to move himself / herself to allow the pattern, picture, figure or image presented or carried by the article to be properly viewed.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003...
