Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH04220593A] PURPOSE: To fix an ornamental element, especially a proper element to conceal the attachment of a wrist watch band to a case of a wrist watch, in the case of the wrist watch. CONSTITUTION: A part of a rim 1 positioned between flanges 2 is formed between the outside faces and at the same time has an arc-like gap 3 concentric with the circle of a watch case. Close to the watch glass 5, another arc-like gap 4 is formed in the surface of the rim 1 and extended in both sides of the gap 3 at a predetermined angle. The ends of the second gap 4 are positioned at a predetermined distance from the outer end of the rim 1 and two holding holes 4a are formed. The gaps 3, 4 accomodate an ornamental element 6 and the upper side of the ornamental element 6 is close to the lower side of the watch glass 5, so that the watch glass is prevented from coming out and dropping through the gap 4.
