Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening loop fast opening improved two straps between them, called respectively “fixed strap” and “adjustment strap”.
  • the invention relates to an improved version of this type of fast-opening attachment loop.
  • the upper flange of the shell has an extension, protruding from the front opening, intended, once the two parts engaged one in the other, to cover the top of the base of the male part substantially to the end thereof.
  • the invention consists in extending the upper shell of the female part until it covers substantially the entire base of the male part, thus ensuring good protection of the adjustment strap and giving to all the original functional and aesthetic characteristics.
  • the two male and female parts are made of plastic, such as polyacetal or polyamide, and the extension is directly molded with the upper flange of the shell.
  • the upper flange of the shell of the female part also covers the base in which the end of the fixed strap engages.
  • This fast-opening fastening loop improved according to the invention comprises two parts, male (1) and female (10) respectively.
  • the male part (1) of molded plastic material is formed by a base (2) for connection to the adjustment strap (3).
  • This window-shaped base (2) (4) has a spacer (5) over which the strap (3) passes.
  • This base is associated with a fork, constituted in a known manner by a central guide finger (6) and two elastic fingers respectively (7) and (8) symmetrical lateral clipping.
  • the spacer (5) has a triangular cross section pointed downwards, and the facing faces of the rear portion (25) of the window (4) and of the spacer (5) are parallel to ensure good locking of the adjustment strap (3).
  • the central guide finger (6) may have a longitudinal section in the shape of a trapezoid.
  • the female part (10) is formed by a heel (11) comprising a spacer (12) around which the end of the fixed strap (13) passes.
  • This heel (11) is associated in a known manner with a shell formed by two flanges, respectively upper (14) and lower (15), defining a front opening (16) on the front.
  • the upper shell (14) covers at (17) the heel (11), thus hiding the fixed strap (13).
  • this female part (10) has two rounded lateral openings (30,31) which, for closing (or opening), cooperate with the end of the elastic fingers (7,8) and limit the movement thereof.
  • the upper flange (14) has an extension (20) beyond the front opening (16) and intended, once the two male and female parts (1,10) engaged one in the other, to cover the top of the base (2) of the male part (1), substantially up to the plumb of the end of the rear portion (25) of the window (2).
  • the front end (26) of the concentric extension (20) is located (see FIG. 2) substantially perpendicular to the rear end (25) of the window (2) of the male part ( 1).
  • the characteristic extension (20) molded with the upper flange (14), has two small lateral fins (27,28) in the form of a return to cover the top of the sides of the base (2 ).
  • the internal face (40) of the characteristic extension (20) and the internal face of the upper flange (14) have parallel guide grooves which have been molded in order to facilitate the introduction or the withdrawal of the part. male (1) by cooperating with the fingers (6,7 and 8).
  • the characteristic extension (20) provides better protection of the adjustment strap (3), in particular against wear by friction, and gives the assembly a diversified and improved aesthetic.
  • this extension (20) ensures better guidance of the male part (1) in the female part (10). Furthermore, this characteristic extension (20) avoids, during carrying, confusion between the strap adjustment loops and the closure loops. Finally, this extension (20) increases the apparent surface of the upper flange (14) of the shell, which makes it possible to receive a larger marking such as a logotype or a reflecting device.
  • this improved quick opening fastening loop can receive all the applications known for this type of loop, such as backpack, life jacket, mountain equipment, belt, strap, etc.
