摘要： A connector is disclosed for joining an end of a watchband to a watch case, the end of the watchband having a terminal link and the watch case having first lugs separated by first sockets with first apertures extending through the first lugs. The connector includes metal bottom and top components. The bottom component has a rear end configured to underlie the terminal link of the watchband, and a front end with mutually spaced projections, at least two of which define hollow guides. The top component has a rear end configured to overlie the rear end of the bottom component, and a front end with mutually spaced flanges aligned with and bent around the projections on the bottom component to form second lugs separated by second sockets. The top component is joined to the bottom component with the terminal link of the watchband captured therebetween. The first and second lugs are adapted to be received respectively in the second and first sockets. A pin is axially inserted through the apertures in the lugs of the watch case and the hollow guides of the bottom component to establish a pivotal connection between the watch case and the end connector.

摘要翻译： 表壳（12）具有由插座分开的凸耳（24），对准的孔延伸穿过凸耳。 端部连接器具有顶部部件（32）和底部部件（30）。 底部部件具有平坦的后端（34），其具有向上突出的齿（36）和具有（38,40）的前端，中空圆柱形引导件由中心一侧（40）的任一侧上的突起限定。 顶部部件具有前端，其具有相互间隔的凸缘（42,44）和具有固定突片（50）的盒形后端。 底部部件的后端插入在表带的端子顶部连杆（18）的下方，并且其齿啮合在连杆下侧的凹口中。 顶部部件组装在底部部件上，凸缘围绕突起弯曲，以形成由平面后端弯曲的插座和突出部分开的凸耳。 端部连接器的凸耳位于表壳的插座中，表壳的凸耳位于端部连接器的插座中，金属销插入导轨和孔中。
