Apple Gets iWatch patented which works magic like 'slap wrap toy' technology of Nineties

The rumour mills have atlast successfully unearthed the fact the Apple has
got the patent rights for iWatch in August 2011 working under 'slap wrap' mechanism to mount a flexible touchscreen on a user's wrist. The patent application further elaborates it as specifies the technology for a 'wearable accessory device' with a 'flexible display'.


It describes: 'A wearable video device comprising: a flexible substrate having a flat state and a curled state [and] a flexible display disposed upon a first surface of the flexible substrate.

Popular among youngsters in the late Eighties and early-Nineties, slap wraps are bracelets consisting of layered, flexible stainless steel bi-stable spring bands sealed within a fabric or plastic cover. The bracelet can be straightened out, causing tension within the springy metal bands, then slapped against a wearer's forearm, causing the bands to spring back into a curve that wraps around the wrist.

According to the paper, the application also said that information generated on the device can be displayed on either the host device display or the flexible display.
