END SEGMENT OF WATCH BAND HAVING SPRING ROD CONNECTOR HOLDING FUNCTION

摘要

A resilient capturing bead of silicone rubber is deposited and cured inside a tubular watch band endpiece and functions to frictionally engage a spring bar connector inserted in the endpiece, retaining the spring bar connector in proper position during assembly of the band and endpiece to a watchhead. The endpiece typically includes an access opening through which the capturing bead material is introduced into the endpiece.
