Watchbands with hook and loop fasteners

A watchband can comfortably secure an electronic device to a wrist of a user. The watchband can include a base having a contact surface opposite an engagement surface, contact loops on the contact surface for contacting a user, and engagement loops on the engagement surface for engaging hooks. The hooks can be provided on the engagement surface, opposite some of the contact loops. The base can include base threads, and the contact loops and engagement loops can be formed by contact threads and engagement threads woven about some of the base threads between the contact surface and the engagement surface. Between adjacent engagement loops, the engagement thread can be more securely attached to the base than is the contact thread between adjacent contact loops.

A watch band 20 comprising a base having base threads and having a first surface opposite a second surface 26,28; a first thread woven about the base threads between the first surface and the second surface and forming first loops on the first surface; and a second thread woven about the base threads between the first surface and the second surface and forming second loops on the second surface; the second thread being secured about a greater number of base threads than the first thread, between adjacent loops. The base threads are preferably transverse to the first and second threads, and the base may be formed of two plies of fabric, each ply having an elastic thread transverse to the base threads. The first and second threads may be fused to the base threads. Also claimed is a watchband having first and second surfaces and first and second loops, where the distance between any pair of adjacent second loops is greater than a distance between any pair of adjacent first loops; and a wristband ...
