ABSTRACT:
A tool kit is provided for enabling easy removal and attachment of a watch strap or band to a watch using spring bar type connectors. The tool kit comprises a work table and one or more tools which are stored in compartments in the work table and held releasably therein by detent means. The work table includes a watch support pad on which the watch is positioned for removal and attachment of the strap or band with one of the tools, the pad being made of rubber or other suitable material so as not to harm the watch finish. The work table also includes a pintle-compressing member in the form of a generally upright plate-like member having a first side wall and a recessed second side wall connected together at one end by a narrow end wall whose thickness is selected to compress a pintle of the spring bar connector when the plate-like member is positioned between a free watch case lug and a free end of the connector with the other end of the connector being engaged against the other watch case lug. The recess in the second side wall extends toward and terminates at the end wall and is designed to receive the free pintle of the spring bar connector and guide it into engagement with the free watch case lug to complete attachment of the watch strap and connector to the lugs. The tools stored in the work table may be used to both remove and attach a watch strap or band to a watch. A cover member fits over the work table and is configured to capture the tools when stored in the storage compartments to prevent tool loss.
