Abstract

A structure for a watch lug includes a watch case having a first positioning cavity and a second positioning cavity, a first watch lug inserted into the first positioning cavity, a second watch lug inserted into the second positioning cavity, and a coupling medium, wherein the first and second watch lugs are fixed to the watch case by the coupling medium.

Claims (46)

1. A structure for a watch lug, comprising:

a watch case having a first positioning cavity and a second positioning cavity;

a first watch lug inserted into the first positioning cavity;

a second watch lug inserted into the second positioning cavity; and

a coupling medium, wherein the first and second watch lugs are fixed to the watch case by the coupling medium,

wherein the first positioning cavity is provided with at least one limiting hole, wherein the at least one limiting hole is recessed downward from a bottom surface of the first positioning cavity,

wherein the first watch lug is provided with at least one limiting post protruding from the first watch lug, and

wherein when the first watch lug is inserted into the first positioning cavity, the at least one limiting post is inserted into the at least one limiting hole in a corresponding manner.

2. The structure of claim 1 , wherein

the first positioning cavity is provided with a positioning post,

the first watch lug is provided with an installation hole, and

when the first watch lug is inserted into the first positioning cavity, the positioning post is inserted into the installation hole.

3. The structure of claim 2 , wherein

an outer surface of the positioning post is provided with a positioning surface parallel with an axis of the positioning post;

the installation hole is provided with a mating surface; and

when the first watch lug is inserted into the first positioning cavity, the positioning surface and the mating surface limit each other.

4. The structure of claim 2 , wherein

the coupling medium comprises an adhesive material; and

the adhesive material is coated on a contacting surface of the watch case and the first watch lug.

5. The structure of claim 4 , wherein

the positioning post is provided with a guide hole inside the positioning post;

the installation hole is provided with a guide post protruding into the installation hole; and

when the first watch lug is inserted into the first positioning cavity, the guide post is inserted into the guide hole.

6. The structure of claim 2 , wherein

the coupling medium comprises a fastener;

the watch case is provided with a through hole;

the first watch lug is provided with a connection hole, wherein an axis of the connection hole is collinear with an axis of the through hole; and

the fastener penetrates through the through hole and locks to the connection hole.

7. The structure of claim 6 , wherein

the through hole penetrates the positioning post;

the connection hole is provided inside the installation hole; and

when the first watch lug is inserted into the first positioning cavity, the positioning post is inserted into the installation hole, and the fastener locks to the connection hole.

8. The structure of claim 1 , wherein a bottom surface of the first positioning cavity and a wall of the first positioning cavity form a closed surface.

9. The structure of claim 1 , wherein

a circumferential groove is provided at an intersection of a bottom surface of the first positioning cavity and a wall of the first positioning cavity; and

the circumferential groove is recessed downward from the bottom surface of the first positioning cavity.

10. The structure of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second watch lugs further comprises:

a connecting portion; and

a protruding portion connected to the connecting portion through a transitional curved surface, wherein the protruding portion is provided with a connecting surface having a bolt hole, and

when the first watch lug and the second watch lug are installed on the watch case, the connecting surface of the first watch lug is directly opposite to the connecting surface of the second watch lug, and an axis of the bolt hole of the first watch lug is collinear with an axis of the bolt hole of the second watch lug.

11. The structure of claim 10 , wherein

the connecting portion of the first watch lug is provided with an installation surface;

the protruding portion of the first watch lug and the installation surface are situated on two respective ends of the connecting portion of the first watch lug; and

when the first watch lug is inserted into the first positioning cavity, the installation surface is matched with a wall of the first positioning cavity.

12. The structure of claim 11 , wherein the wall of the first positioning cavity is a tapered surface, and a slope of the wall decreases along a direction upward from a bottom surface of the first positioning cavity.

13. The structure of claim 1 , wherein a bottom surface of the first positioning cavity is provided with at least one boss raised from the bottom surface.
