As shown in fig. 1 to 8, the present embodiment provides a buckle assembly 100. As shown in fig. 1, 2, and 7, the buckle assembly 100 can be used to be disposed on a shoe (not shown) to assist a user in tightening and receiving a shoelace 200. The fastener assembly 100 includes a connecting sheet 1 and two fastener structures 2 respectively connected to two sides of the connecting sheet 1.

It should be noted that, although the connecting piece 1 and the buckle structure 2 are collectively defined as the buckle assembly 100 in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the fastener structure 2 may be used alone (e.g., for implementation, manufacture, sale, etc.) or in combination with other components. The structure of each component of the buckle assembly 100 will be described separately, and the connection relationship between each component of the buckle assembly 100 will be described in due course.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the connecting sheet 1 is a sheet structure. In detail, in this embodiment, two opposite sides of the connecting piece 1 respectively have an inclined plane S1, and a protruding rib RB is further disposed on one side of the connecting piece 1 between the two inclined planes S1, that is, the protruding rib RB is connected to the two inclined planes S1, but the invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 5 again, the two buckle structures 2 are respectively connected to the two inclined planes S1. It should be noted that, two of the fastener structures 2 shown in fig. 5 are perpendicular to the connecting sheet, so that the fastener assembly 100 is substantially C-shaped, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in practical applications, as shown in fig. 6, the fastener assembly 100 may be flattened, i.e., each fastener structure 2 is coplanar with the connecting plate 1, or is not perpendicular to each other.

Each fastener structure 2 includes a body 21, and a retaining wall 22 and a hook 23 connected to the body 21. For convenience of description, the number of components of a single fastener structure 2 will be described below.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the body 21 has a sheet structure and has two wide side surfaces S21A and a narrow side surface S21B connecting the two wide side surfaces S21A. The body 21 has the narrow side surface S21B connected to the inclined surface S1, and the height of the narrow side surface S21B (from one of the wide side surfaces S21A to the other wide side surface S21A) is defined as a thickness direction TD.

As shown in fig. 1, 4 and 5, the retaining wall 22 protrudes from one of the wide side surfaces S21A of the body 21 along the thickness direction TD, and the retaining wall 22 has a neck portion 221 and a blocking portion 222 located at the end of the neck portion 221. The cross section of the blocking portion 222 is a taper tapering away from the body 21, and the width of the cross section of the blocking portion 222 is greater than the width of the cross section of the neck portion 221. That is, the common cross-section of the neck 221 and the stopper 222 is shaped like an arrow.

It should be noted that the blocking portions 222 of the two retaining walls 22 are preferably located at positions corresponding to both ends of the raised rib RB. That is, when the fastener assembly 100 is viewed from the top (as shown in fig. 6) in a flat state, the retaining walls 22 of the two fastener structures 2 and the protruding ribs RB of the connecting piece 1 are collinear.

Referring to fig. 1, 4 and 5, the hook 23 and the retaining wall 22 are located on the same wide side surface S21A of the body 21, and the hook 23 is spaced apart from the retaining wall 22. The hooking member 23 includes a base 231 and a hooking portion 232 connected to the base 231.

The base 231 is protruded from one of the wide sides S21A of the body 21 along the thickness direction TD, the hooking part 232 extends from the end of the base 231 toward the retaining wall 22 without contacting the body 21, so that a first rope groove G1 is formed between the body 21 and the hooking part 23, and a second rope groove G2 is formed between the hooking part 232 and the blocking part 222. Accordingly, the first and second grooves G1 and G2 can be used for the shoelace 200 to be restricted from moving and being received (as shown in fig. 7 and 8).

Further, the base 231 has a curved surface S231 on a side facing the retaining wall 22, and two ends of the curved surface extend to two sides of the base in the thickness direction, so that two ends of the curved surface are exposed to the outside of the base. In addition, the cross-section of the end of the hooking part 232 is a cone tapered toward the body 21, and the area of the hooking part 23 orthographically projected on the body 21 is a circle.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the first rope groove G1 has a first entrance facing the retaining wall 22, the second rope groove G2 has a second entrance facing away from the body, and the minimum diameter L1 of the first entrance is smaller than the minimum diameter L2 of the second entrance. That is, the shoelace 200 positioned in the first groove G1 is difficult to be separated from the shoelace 200 positioned in the second groove G2, such that the first groove G1 can be used to restrict the movement of the shoelace 200 (i.e., to tighten the shoelace 200) for a long period of time, and the second groove G2 can be used to restrict the movement of the shoelace 200 (i.e., to receive the shoelace 200) for a short period of time. In addition, the maximum width of the first rope groove G1 and the maximum width 2 of the second rope groove G2 are preferably substantially equal, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The above are the components of the buckle assembly 100 and their connection relationship. In addition, for the purpose of facilitating understanding of the buckle assembly 100, a practical application example is described below, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

As shown in fig. 6 and 7, a manufacturer may flatten and sew a plurality of buckle assemblies 100 on a shoe upper (not shown), so that a plurality of buckle structures 2 are fixed on a shoe at intervals. When the wearer wants to tighten the shoelace 200, he or she can first abut the shoelace 200 against the curved surfaces S231 of the base portions 231 in a staggered manner, so that portions of the shoelace 200 are retained in the first grooves G1. After the wearer adjusts the tightness of the shoelace 200, the remaining shoelace 200 is partially threaded and wound in the second grooves G2 for storage, so that the shoelace 200 falls out of the shoe. So as to save the time required by shoe manufacturing and quickly arrange (or store) the shoelace.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present invention, not shown, the connecting piece 1 and the buckle structure 2 included in the buckle assembly 100 can be adjusted appropriately. For example, a fastener assembly 100 has two connecting sheets 1 and three fastener structures 2, and the connection relationship is: fastener structure 2, connection piece 1, fastener structure 2. Of course, a plurality of independent fastener structures can be sewn on the vamp.
