摘要：
A strap for a wearable device comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) located within said strap. The PCB comprises a first electronic component (516), coupled to a first flexible portion (506). The first electronic component is mounted to a cage (502), the cage comprising a cage pivot mount (520). The flexible portion is under tension and urges said first electronic component towards said cage pivot mount such that a pivotable connection is formed between said cage and said first electronic component. Also disclosed is a method of manufacture of the strap.
技术问题语段：
The technical issues addressed in this patent text are related to the design and functionality of a strap for a wearable device. The patent scheme aims to address the limitations and challenges associated with designing such a strap, while ensuring that it meets the desired technical specifications and performance requirements.
技术功效语段：
The technical efficacy of the patent scheme is that it provides a strap for a wearable device that prevents damage to the PCB by protecting sensitive components with a cage, while allowing the wearable device to maintain its flexibility.
权利要求：
1. A strap for a wearable device comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) located within said strap, said PCB comprising a first electronic component, coupled to a first flexible portion; wherein said first electronic component is mounted to a cage, the cage comprising a cage pivot mount; wherein said flexible portion is under tension and urges said first electronic component towards said cage pivot mount such that a pivotable connection is formed between said cage and said first electronic component.
2. The strap of claim 1 wherein: said PCB further comprises a second electronic component attached to said flexible portion; wherein said second electronic component is mounted to said cage.
3. The strap of claim 2 wherein said second electronic component snap fits onto said cage.
4. The strap of any one of claims 1 to 3 wherein said cage pivot mount is substantially U-shaped.
5. The strap of any one of claims 1 to 4 wherein said PCB comprises a third electronic component, coupled to said second electronic component by a second flexible portion, said third electronic component mounted to a second cage.
6. The strap of any one of claims 1 to 5 wherein the first electronic component comprises a transmitter for transmitting radio signals.
7. The strap of any one of claims 1 to 6 wherein the first electronic component or the second electronic component is a battery.
8. The strap of claim 7 wherein the battery is a coin cell.
9. The strap of any preceding claim wherein the strap comprises polyurethane.
10. The strap of any one of claims 1 to 9 further comprising a button for operation of the any of the electronic components.
11. The strap of any one of claims 1 to 10 wherein the strap connects to a watch housing.
12. The strap of any one of claims 1 to 11 wherein said cage and/ or said second cage comprises a secondary mount for retaining a further electronic component.
13. A method of making the strap of any one of claims 1 to 12 comprising: inserting the PCB, electronic components, flexible portion and cage into a mould, attaching a tool to said cage such that said PCB is not in contact with said mould, injecting a wet applied structural component into said mould.
14. The method of claim 13 wherein the cage comprises a hole for a fixing means and wherein said tool engages said hole for a fixing means.
