Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
An electronic device to be worn on a user's wrist, comprising: a flexible wrist band having a plurality of connector wires and an insulator material encasing the wires; a first electronics module electrically coupled to the connector wires of the wrist band; and a second electronics module having a plurality of connector pins for piercing the insulator material at a desired location along the wrist band and for making electrical contact between the second electronics module and the connector wires of the wrist band.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
84 words
An electronic device to be worn on a user's wrist, comprising: a flexible wrist band having a plurality of connector wires and an insulator material encasing the wires; a first electronics module electrically coupled to the connector wires of the wrist band; and a second electronics module having a plurality of connector pins for piercing the insulator material at a desired location along the wrist band and for making electrical contact between the second electronics module and the connector wires of the wrist band.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
131 words
A wrist watch comprising: an electronics module having a plurality of output terminals; a wrist band attached to the electronics module and having a plurality of connector wires electrically coupled to the electronics module output terminals, and the wrist band further having insulator material encasing the connector wires; and a display module having a plurality of input terminals, a plurality of connector pins, each of which is electrically coupled to an input terminal, and driving means actuable by a user, for driving the connector pins into a selected portion of the wrist band insulator material to pierce the material and to make an electrical contact between the connector pins and individual connector wires thereby electrically connecting electronic module output terminals to display module input terminals through the wrist band connector wires.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
131 words
A wrist watch comprising: an electronics module having a plurality of output terminals; a wrist band attached to the electronics module and having a plurality of connector wires electrically coupled to the electronics module output terminals, and the wrist band further having insulator material encasing the connector wires; and a display module having a plurality of input terminals, a plurality of connector pins, each of which is electrically coupled to an input terminal, and driving means actuable by a user, for driving the connector pins into a selected portion of the wrist band insulator material to pierce the material and to make an electrical contact between the connector pins and individual connector wires thereby electrically connecting electronic module output terminals to display module input terminals through the wrist band connector wires.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
The wrist watch of claim 2 wherein the display module driving means includes a flexible tongue portion on which the connector pins are carried and a camming surface for engaging the tongue portion to drive the connector pins into the insulator material.
