Definitions

  • the invention relates to an attachment loop for setting up and adjusting a strap, composed of a pair of superposed rings having rectangular frames of different dimensions, the first largest ring having a first rectangular opening arranged under a second rectangular opening in the second ring of smaller size, so as to define a transverse slot passage of the strap, the slot being arranged between one of the outer edges of the second ring, and the adjacent side the first opening of the first ring, the loop being either in a locking position of the strap in the slot following the application of a clamping force, or in a release position after a tilting movement of the second ring causing an increase in the passage area in the slot.
  • the second ring is mounted floating on the first ring, and is retained by a loop of sewn strap surrounding the two rear crosses of the rings.
  • the other end of the strap is stuck in the slot between the two rings as soon as the application of a pulling force.
  • the wedging effect disappears, and the strap can then slide in the slot, especially when pushing on the end of the strap.
  • the second upper ring is guided in translation along the opposite edges of the lower ring, and is pushed by elastic means to the locking position.
  • the sliding of the second ring makes it impossible to open the loop completely, which limits the passage section of a strap provided with an end stop.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a fastening loop having an optimum locking of the strap avoiding inadvertent adjustment, and to obtain a large opening for the introduction of the strap.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the second upper ring is articulated to the first lower ring by means of a connecting spring adapted to press the second ring against the first ring, and to urge said second ring to slide towards the first ring. blocking position.
  • the pinch effect is determined to prevent unlocking when the strap is no longer energized, while allowing a possibility of sliding when pulling the end of the strap for adjustment.
  • the introduction of the strap in the loop is facilitated by the large clearance of the second ring relative to the first ring.
  • the connecting spring is formed by a helical spring passing through a median orifice of the second ring, said spring being hooked by its two opposite ends to the first ring.
  • the coil spring extends in the transverse direction of the tilting axis of the second ring.
  • the passage opening of the connecting spring is arranged in a protuberance outside the opening of the second ring, said protuberance extending in the sliding direction of the second ring to the locking position.
  • an adjustable fastening loop 10 is composed of a pair of superposed rings 11, 12 having rectangular or trapezoidal structures of different sizes.
  • the first ring 11 the largest, has a first opening 13 disposed under a second rectangular opening 14 formed in the second ring 12 of smaller size.
  • the width of the strap 15 is slightly less than that of the openings 13, 14 to avoid any friction of the strap 15 against the opposite lateral edges of the rings 11, 12.
  • the strap 15 passes through the two openings 13, 14 and the end of the strap 15 is then inserted into a transverse slot 16 located between the outer edge 17 of the second ring 12, and the adjacent side of the first opening 13. It then reverses in the opposite direction the first ring 11 by forming a turn around the right crossbar 18 of the second ring 12.
  • the second upper ring 12 is articulated to the first lower ring 11 by means of a connecting spring 19, which is arranged to press the second ring 12 against the upper face of the first ring 11, and to urge the second ring 12 in a motion sliding towards the locking position for the jamming of the strap 15 in the slot 16.
  • the connecting spring 19 is formed by way of example by a helical spring passing through a median orifice 20 formed in a protuberance 23 of the second ring 12.
  • the coil spring is hooked by its two ends in notches 21, 22 opposite the first ring 11 so as to form the axis of articulation of the second ring 12.
  • the elastic deformation of the coil spring also allows a small sliding stroke of the second ring 12 when locking the strap 15.
  • the figure 2 shows the decomposition of the forces applied on the second ring 12 by the connecting spring 19, which is not shown for the sake of clarity of the drawing.
  • the two elementary tensile forces F1 and F2 exerted by the helical spring 19 on the protuberance 23 of the second ring 12 generates a first component F x for the sliding movement towards the locking position, and a second component F z intended to press the second ring 12 against the first ring 11.
  • the buckle 10 is closed, and the right strap strand 15 is wedged in the slot 16.
  • a pulling force T1 exerted on the strap 15 causes the second ring 12 to slide to the locking position.
  • This jamming state remains even when the strap is no longer under tension, thanks to the first component F x of the connecting spring 19 which inhibits unintentional release of the buckle 10.
  • the wedging of the strap 15 remains nevertheless moderate enough to allow the sliding of the strap in the slot 16 when pulling on the end stop 24 of the strap in T2 for its adjustment.
  • the loop 10 is being opened after lifting the second ring 12 in the direction of the arrow F3.
  • the pivoting movement of the second ring 12 takes place around the axis of articulation of the helical spring 19, and the end of the second ring 12 remains in support. against the first ring 11.
  • the strap 15 is loosened and can be moved freely in the loop 10.
  • the loop 10 is fully open when the second ring 12 extends perpendicularly to the first ring 11. This results in a large passage to release or engage the end stop 24 of the strap 15, and the second component F z of the spring 19 keeps the end of the second ring 12 against the first ring 11.
  • the Figures 7-9 show an embodiment of the loop 10, with the second ring 12 completely overmolded in a coating 25 of plastic.
  • the two branches of the helical connecting spring 19 extend transversely with clearance in a cavity 26 provided at the rear part of the coating 25 to allow the deformation of the spring during the locking of the strap 15.
  • the coating around the sleeper 18 is shaped according to a stud 27 capable of penetrating completely into the first opening 13 of the first ring 11 when the strap is locked as in the figure 4 .
  • the second ring 12 is then in full support on the first ring 11.
