Abstract:
Watch bands can employ clasps that are configured to ratchet. Due to this ratcheting, the watch bands can be adjusted which much smaller increments than traditional watch bands. A unique clasp configuration enables this ratcheting to be achieved without sacrificing aesthetic appeal or usability.

Claim (Index 13):
A watch band comprising:\n a first portion; a second portion that includes a series of protrusions that extend along an inner surface of the second portion; and a clasp having an outer member and an inner member coupled to the outer member to form a channel between the outer and inner members, the outer and inner members having a coupling end and a terminal end opposite the coupling end, the coupling end of the inner member being configured to couple to the first portion, the terminal ends of the outer and inner members being configured to receive the second portion, the clasp including a tab that extends from the inner member towards the outer member within the channel, the clasp further including an actuating member that is positioned towards the terminal end from the tab, the actuating member being configured to slide towards the coupling end to force the tab away from the upper member; wherein, when the second portion is inserted into the channel, the tab interfaces with the protrusions to prevent the second portion from withdrawing from the channel, whereas, when the actuating member forces the tab away from the upper member, the tab ceases to interface with the protrusions to allow the second portion to be withdrawn from the channel
