assigned to Peter A. Feinstein Patents LLC and Brigham Young University.
The IP relates to bistable wearable bands that utilize:
• bistable magnetic actuators, and/or
• bistable compliant scissor linkages, and/or
• hands-free actuation mechanisms,
to transition bands automatically between biased-open and biased-closed states.
Applications include watchbands, medical garment cuffs, compression bands, jewelry, safety tethers, and smart garments, enabling truly hands-free donning and doffing and improved personalized fit.
Key advantages of the technology include:
• simpler, easier-to-manufacture scissor-based mechanism
• hands-free donning actuated by wrist or limb contact
• compatibility with wearables, watches, medical cuffs, belts, garments, and specialty suits
• magnetic latch architectures supporting secure closure
• bistable states avoiding unintended intermediate positions
• adaptable to wide size ranges and multiple form factors
• applicable to smart garments and specialty-environment clothing
This portfolio is particularly relevant to companies in: wearables, smartwatch bands, medical garments, soft robotics, consumer accessories, apparel, jewelry, safety gear, and assistive technology.
