Description

FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a fitness monitoring capsule.

FIG. 2 is a top view of the fitness monitoring capsule of FIG. 1.

FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the fitness monitoring capsule of FIG. 1.

FIG. 4 is a front view of the fitness monitoring capsule of FIG. 1.

FIG. 5 is a back view of the fitness monitoring capsule of FIG. 1.

FIG. 6 is a side view of the fitness monitoring capsule of FIG. 1.

FIG. 7 is an opposite side view of the fitness monitoring capsule of FIG. 1.

FIG. 8 is an off-angle view of the fitness monitoring capsule of FIG. 1.

FIG. 9 corresponds to a top view of the fitness monitoring capsule of FIG. 1 with section lines indicating section planes for FIGS. 10, 11, and 12.

FIG. 10 is a section view of the fitness monitoring capsule of FIG. 9.

FIG. 11 is another section view of the fitness monitoring capsule of FIG. 9; and,

FIG. 12 is yet another section view of the fitness monitoring capsule of FIG. 9.

The fitness monitoring capsule depicted in the accompanying figures may be part of a wristband with fitness monitoring capsule and worn on a person's wrist.

The fitness monitoring capsule houses electronics for monitoring various health-related parameters, including, but not limited to, steps taken, calories burned, etc. The fitness monitoring capsule has identical (or nearly identical) interfaces on each end that may receive mechanical features from a wristband strap, i.e., a band portion, which enable the wristband strap to be connected to the fitness monitoring capsule. For example, the band portions have corresponding receptacles that interface with the interfaces of the fitness monitoring capsule, and a spring clip that snaps the band portions into place when so assembled. This allows the user to easily remove the band portions and exchange the band portions for different sizes or styles of band.

Claims

CLAIM We claim the ornamental design for the fitness monitoring capsule, as shown and described.
