Abstract

See full text

Provided is an automatically adjustable clasp having two separable magnet pieces which may magnetically adhere to each other to form a closed clasp. The clasp also includes a motor, an anchor mechanism for attaching the clasp to a band, sensors, and a control unit. The sensors acquire and send information related to the clasp or the band to the control unit, which may activate the motor. The activation of the motor changes the position of the anchor mechanism with respect to the rest of the clasp, thereby loosening or tightening of the band attached to the anchor mechanism. Also provided is a wearable band with the automatically adjustable clasp. The wearable band may include a shape memory material such that the band may self-assemble around a body part when a stimulus is applied to the shape memory material. The self-assembly process may enable the automatic clasp of the magnet pieces.
