Figure 13 A and 13B describe the different oblique views of another example of portable biometric statistics monitoring arrangement.Figure 13 C and 13D describe to be separately installed with and to remove the example wrist strap housing of Figure 13 of bolt assembly.Figure 13 E and 13F describe respectively the detailed view at the bolt assembly shown in Figure 13 A and 13B.Figure 13 G and 13H describe the decomposition side view of the example portable biometric statistics monitoring arrangement shown in Figure 13.The side view of the example portable biometric statistics monitoring arrangement shown in Figure 13 I and 13J depiction 13A.

At Figure 13 A, in illustrated embodiment in 13J, biometrics monitoring arrangement 1302 is inserted in two parts wrist strap housing 1350.As Figure 13 C can see in 13F, wrist strap housing 1350 can utilize the bolt assembly 1384 with bolt 1386 and bolt rib 1388.Bolt 1386 can be inserted in the bolt assembly hole 1396 in an end of wrist strap housing 1302, as shown in Figure 13 E and 13F.

The two-piece-dress character of wrist strap housing 1350 can be referring to Figure 13 G and 13H comprehend, and Figure 13 G and 13H have described the wrist strap housing 1350 separated with biometrics monitoring arrangement 1302.In illustrated embodiment, biometrics monitoring arrangement 1302 can have opposite ends, and each in described end is configured to be inserted into the jack in the different piece that is arranged in wrist strap housing 1350.For instance, in Figure 13 G, " left side " end of biometrics monitoring arrangement 1302 can be configured to be inserted into completely wrist strap housing parts 1350 ' in jack in, and " right side " of biometrics monitoring arrangement 1302 end can be configured to be inserted into wrist strap housing parts 1350 completely " in jack in.The inserted end of biometrics monitoring arrangement 1302 and/or can insert can insert the wrist strap housing parts 1350 of end ' and 1350 " the inside surface of jack on rib, ridge or further feature can be with easily separated with biometrics monitoring arrangement 1302 to prevent wrist strap housing parts.Or or in addition, the inserted end of biometrics monitoring arrangement 1302 can be attached to wrist strap housing parts 1350 ' and 1350 " on jack in.Figure 13 I and 13J describe the side view through the biometrics monitoring arrangement 1302/ wrist strap housing 1350 of assembling.

Figure 14 A describes to take the example of the wrist strap housing that integrated spine assembly is feature.Figure 14 B describes to have the oblique view of fragmentary cross-sectional view of the example wrist strap housing of backbone assembly.

In general, the band portion 1499 of wrist strap housing keep enough softness to meet wearer's body in case as much as possible comfortable can be desirable.A kind of mode of reaching this flexibility and comfort level is for constructing band portion 1499 all or part of of wrist strap housing with enough soft resilient material.Yet, the problem occurring be along with the decline of material hardness (for example, as measured by sclerometer), there is corresponding decline in the retain strength that band portion 1499 can put on the bolt of the bolt assembly in the keyhole in the one being inserted in band portion 1499, is easier to bolt be back pulled through softer material and leave keyhole.

A technology for the treatment of these a little possibility problems is to comprise the second assembly (being known as in this article " backbone ") of for example, being made by the material harder than the remainder of band portion 1499 (, harder elastic body).Backbone can be individually through molded, and then inserted mode system in strip portion or be sequentially overmolded in double injection type injecting molding machine.The geometric configuration of backbone can make can with the part of the backbone of the bolt engagement of reverse band part 1499 can be through setting size to be greater than the cross-sectional area of tightening latch and bolt head part.This geometric configuration can cause bolt mainly to contact harder backbone material but not the softer material of band portion 1499.For instance, if bolt has nominal stadium (or disco rectangle), shape (, by semicircle, cover the rectangle on two opposition sides) xsect, backbone can have similar shape in each district around keyhole so, and it allows bolt head part via keyhole (and backbone), insert and then rest on backbone material.Around each district of the backbone of keyhole, can be joined by less width (as measured transverse to the band portion 1499) district of backbone material to contiguous similar district and still by keyhole, be provided the bolt grip of enhancing simultaneously to can greatly not reduce the flexibility of band portion 1499.

In other embodiments, band portion 1499 can contain two or more parallel ridges column assemblies of being made by the elastic body harder than the remainder of band portion 1499.Each engageable one or more bolt in these a little backbone assemblies, for example two parallel bolts.By changing the number of bolt, inserting or remove the needed power of bolt can be changed by deviser.

In some embodiments, harder and/or harder material can be incorporated in the district of band portion 1499, except keyhole through location in case improve availability or decorative appearance part.For instance, can insert bolt assembly band portion 1499 (band portion 1499 contrary with the band portion 1499 with keyhole) district can by compared with hard, relatively hard materials around not needing directly to press by bolt assembly to impel bolt to be inserted in keyhole.

This structure allows the deviser material behavior of tuning band portion 1499 and physical construction that bolt/keyhole inserts and within bounds the comfort level of decorative appearance and/or band assembly parts is given way individually.
