Of theinclined members 112b adjacent to each other, theinclined member 112b closer to theentrance member 111 may be more gently inclined than theinclined member 112b closer to the engagement detent 113. This more gentlyinclined member 112b may enter thebase unit 200 earlier than the steeplyinclined member 112b. That is, of the multipleinclined members 112b, theinclined member 112b farther from theband engagement unit 120 than the otherinclined members 112b may be more gently inclined than the otherinclined members 112b, so that a movement of theband unit 100 may be controlled by thecontrol unit 300 when theband unit 100 enters thebase unit 200 or exits therefrom. - The
engagement detent 113 may be slantly extended from theextension member 112. Since theengagement detent 113 is slantly extended from theextension member 112, entry of theband unit 100 into thebase unit 200 may be limited. To be specific, when theband unit 100 enters thebase unit 200, if an inclined upper surface of theengagement detent 113 is in contact with thecontrol unit 300, the entry of theband unit 100 into thebase unit 200 may be stopped. Theengagement detent 113 may be provided in theband engagement unit 120 so as to be rotatable. Since theengagement detent 113 is provided in theband engagement unit 120 so as to be rotatable, the bandmain body 110 may be provided in theband engagement unit 120 so as to be rotatable. - The
engagement detent 113 of the bandmain body 110 may be provided in theband engagement unit 120 through thefirst engagement screw 130. Theengagement detent 113 may be connected to an extended belt or band or may be provided in a side of a helmet. - The

Theband unit 100 may be guided along an upper surface of thebottom member 210 when theband unit 100 enters thebase unit 200 or exits therefrom. - The
wall members 220 may be a pair of walls facing each other and may be bent and extended upwards from edges of thebottom member 210, the edges facing each other. When theband unit 100 enters thebase unit 200, theband unit 100 first enters between ends 221 of thewall members 220 facing each other. Between theends 221 of thewall members 220 facing each other, alocking unit 310 may be engaged so as to be rotatable. Between the other ends 222 of thewall members 220 facing each other, a lever may be engaged so as to be rotatable. That is, at both ends of thebase unit 200, thelocking unit 310 and thelever unit 320 may be engaged so as to be rotatable. When theband unit 100 enters thebase unit 200, theentrance member 111 of theband unit 100 may first enter thelocking unit 310 engaged with theends 221 of thewall members 220 so as to be rotatable and theband unit 100 entering thebase unit 200 may penetrate thebase unit 200 through thelocking unit 310 and thelever unit 320 in sequence. Thewall members 220 may includeresilient supports 223 protruded so as to be adjacent to thelocking unit 310 and thelever unit 320. - The
resilient support 223 may supportresilient members 330 coupled to thelocking unit 310 and thelever unit 320, respectively, to apply resilience of thelocking unit 310 and thelever unit 320 to thebase unit 200. To be more specific, each of theresilient members 330 coupled to thelocking unit 310 and thelever unit 320 may enable thelocking unit 310 and thelever unit 320 to apply resilience in a direction of thebase unit 200 when thelocking unit 310 and thelever unit 320 are rotated with respect to thebase unit 200 while being supported by theresilient support 223. - The
second engagement screw 230 may penetrate theends 221 of thewall members 220 and thelocking unit 310 such that thelocking unit 310 can be rotated with respect to thebase unit 200. Thesecond engagement screw 230 may serve as a rotation axis when thelocking unit 310 is rotated with respect to thebase unit 200. Thethird engagement screw 240 may penetrate the other ends 222 of thewall members 220 and thelever unit 320 such that thelever unit 320 can be rotated with respect to thebase unit 200. Thethird engagement screw 240 may serve as a rotation axis when thelever unit 320 is rotated with respect to thebase unit 200. Thecontrol unit 300 may control theband unit 100 so as to enter thebase unit 200 or exit therefrom. Thecontrol unit 300 may include thelocking unit 310, thelever unit 320, and theresilient members 330. - When the
band unit 100 enters thebase unit 200, theband unit 100 enters first from theends 221 of thebase unit 200. Thelocking unit 310 may be engaged with theends 221 of thebase unit 200 so as to be rotatable. Thelocking unit 310 may be cross-linked with thelever unit 320 between theends 221 and the other ends 222 of thebase unit 200. Thelocking unit 310 may be engaged with or disengaged from the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100, thereby limiting entrance or exit of theband unit 100. Thelocking unit 310 may include a lockingengagement member 311, lockingteeth 312, and a lockingmember 313. - The locking
engagement member 311 may be provided in thebase unit 200 so as to be rotatable. The lockingengagement member 311 may be provided at theends 221 of thebase unit 200 by thesecond engagement screw 230. Since the lockingengagement member 311 is provided in thebase unit 200 so as to be rotatable, thelocking unit 310 can be provided in thebase unit 200 so as to be rotatable. - The locking
teeth 312 may face the saw-teeth 112a of the base unit when theband unit 100 enters thebase unit 200 or exits therefrom. The lockingteeth 312 may include multiple inclined members configured to form a convex portion and a concave portion corresponding to the saw-teeth 112a. The lockingteeth 312 may be one or more and may include a gently inclined member corresponding to and facing the gentlyinclined member 112b of the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100 which enters thebase unit 200 or exits therefrom and a steeply inclined member corresponding to and facing the steeplyinclined member 112b of the saw-teeth 112a. That is, when theband unit 100 enters thebase unit 200 or exits therefrom, the lockingteeth 312 may be engaged with or disengaged from the saw-teeth 112a, thereby limiting entrance or exit of theband unit 100 with respect to thebase unit 200. - The locking
member 313 may be protruded in a direction of thelever unit 320 and cross-linked with thelever unit 320. The lockingmember 313 may be engaged with thelever unit 320 when thelever unit 320 is rotated. Thelocking unit 310 can be rotated according to the rotation of thelever unit 320 by the lockingmember 313 engaged with thelever unit 320. That is, since the lockingmember 313 is engaged with thelever unit 320 when thelever unit 320 is rotated, thelocking unit 310 can be rotated according to the rotation of thelever unit 320, so that the lockingteeth 312 engaged with the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100 may be disengaged from the saw-teeth 112a or the lockingteeth 312 of thelocking unit 310 may be spaced from the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100 that enters thebase unit 200. Thus, theband unit 100 is not interrupted by thelocking unit 310 and theband unit 100 may easily enter thebase unit 200 or exit therefrom. - The
lever unit 320 may face thelocking unit 310 and may be provided in the other ends 222 of thebase unit 200 so as to be rotatable. Thelever unit 320 may be cross-linked with thelocking unit 310 between theends 221 and the other ends 222 of thebase unit 200. The rotation of thelocking unit 310 may be controlled by the rotation of thelever unit 320, so that the engagement or the disengagement of thelocking unit 310 with respect to the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100 can be controlled. Thelever unit 320 may include alever engagement member 321, alever locking member 322, and alever control member 323. - The
lever engagement member 321 may be provided in thebase unit 200 so as to be rotatable. Thelever engagement member 321 may be provided at the other ends 222 of thebase unit 200 by thethird engagement screw 240. Since thelever engagement member 321 is provided in thebase unit 200 so as to be rotatable, thelever unit 320 can be provided in thebase unit 200 so as to be rotatable. - The
lever locking member 322 may be formed in a dent shape corresponding to the lockingmember 313 and may be cross-linked with the lockingmember 313 of thelocking unit 310. Thelever locking member 322 may be engaged with the lockingmember 313 of thelocking unit 310 when thelever unit 320 is rotated. Thelocking unit 310 can be rotated according to the rotation of thelever unit 320 by thelever locking member 322 engaged with thelocking unit 310. That is, since thelever locking member 322 is engaged with thelocking unit 310 when thelever unit 320 is rotated, thelocking unit 310 can be rotated according to the rotation of thelever unit 320, so that the lockingteeth 312 engaged with the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100 may be disengaged from the saw-teeth 112a or the lockingteeth 312 of thelocking unit 310 may be spaced from the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100 that enters thebase unit 200. Thus, theband unit 100 is not interrupted by thelocking unit 310 and theband unit 100 may easily enter thebase unit 200 or exit therefrom. - In another embodiment, the
lever locking member 322 may be protruded in a direction of the lockingmember 313, and in this case, the lockingmember 313 may be dented corresponding to thelever locking member 322. - The
lever control member 323 may be provided at an uppermost position and protruded upwards. When a user manipulates thecontrol unit 300, a point of the user's finger may be caught in thelever control member 323. When the user pulls thelever control member 323 in an entrance direction of theband unit 100 with respect to thebase unit 200, thelever unit 320 may be rotated. Thelocking unit 310 can be rotated according to the rotation of thelever unit 320, and the lockingteeth 312 engaged with the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100 may be disengaged from the saw-teeth 112a by the rotation of thelocking unit 310, so that thebase unit 200 and theband unit 100 may be spaced from each other. That is, if the user pulls thelever control member 323 with his/her finger to rotate thelever unit 320, thelocking unit 310 can be rotated and thelocking unit 310 may be disengaged from theband unit 100, so that theband unit 100 can exit from thebase unit 200 with ease. - The
resilient members 330 may be coupled to thelocking unit 310 and thelever unit 320 and may enable thelocking unit 310 and thelever unit 320 to apply resilience to thebase unit 200 while being supported by theresilient support 223 of thebase unit 200. Since theresilient members 330 enables thelocking unit 310 and thelever unit 320 to apply resilience to thebase unit 200, thelocking unit 310 may be rotated due to an inclined slide between the saw-teeth 112a and the lockingteeth 312 when theband unit 100 enters thebase unit 200. Thus, theband unit 100 may be controlled so as to correspond to each of the saw-teeth 112a. That is, by the resilient rotation of thelocking unit 310 due to theresilient members 330, theband unit 100 can enter thebase unit 200 step by step so as to correspond to each of the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100. - Hereinafter, there will be explained an operation method of the buckle device for length adjustment in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention by reference to
Figs. 5A and 5B . -
Figs. 5A and 5B are a cross sectional view ofFig. 1 taken along a line V-V.Fig. 5A is a cross sectional view showing that the lockingteeth 312 of thelocking unit 310 are engaged with the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100, andFig. 5B is a cross sectional view showing that the lockingteeth 312 of thelocking unit 310 are disengaged from the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100. - Above all, there will be explained entrance of the
band unit 100 with respect to thebase unit 200. - To be specific, if the
band unit 100 enters thebase unit 200 in a direction toward thelocking unit 310, since thelocking unit 310 applies resilience to thebase unit 200, as theband unit 100 enters thebase unit 200, the gentlyinclined member 112b of the saw-teeth 112a may be slantly slid with the gently inclined member of the lockingteeth 312 corresponding to theinclined member 112b. Thus, thelocking unit 310 may be rotated. As theband unit 100 enters thebase unit 200, the convex portion of the lockingteeth 312 may pass the convex portion of the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100 and may reach the concave portion of the saw-teeth 112a. At this time, the lockingteeth 312 may be engaged with the saw-teeth 112a. If theband unit 100 continues to enter thebase unit 200, the convex portion of the lockingteeth 312 may be engaged with the adjacent concave portion of the saw-teeth 112a step by step. Thus, theband unit 100 can enter thebase unit 200 step by step. - Then, there will be explained exit of the
band unit 100 with respect to thebase unit 200. - To be specific, if the
lever control member 323 is pulled in an entrance direction of theband unit 100 with respect to thebase unit 200, thelever unit 320 may be rotated. Thelocking unit 310 can be rotated according to the rotation of thelever unit 320 and the lockingteeth 312 engaged with the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100 may be spaced from the saw-teeth 112a of theband unit 100 by the rotation of thelocking unit 310. At this time, thelocking unit 310 may be disengaged from the saw-teeth 112a and at the same time, thebase unit 200 may exit in the entrance direction of theband unit 100. Thus, theband unit 100 can exit from thebase unit 200. That is, if thelever unit 320 is pulled in the entrance direction of theband unit 100, thelocking unit 310 may be disengaged from theband unit 100, and at the same time, since thebase unit 100 is pulled in the entrance direction of theband unit 100, theband unit 100 can exit from thebase unit 200. If theband unit 100 continues to exit from thebase unit 200, thebase unit 200 and theband unit 100 can be spaced from each other. - As described above, the buckle device for length adjustment in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention may include the
control unit 300 including thelocking unit 310 and thelever unit 320 provided to be cross-linked with each other and to be rotatable. Therefore, it may be easy for the user to space thebase unit 200 and theband unit 100 from each other by using his/her finger. That is, by a simple manipulation with a finger, thebase unit 200 and theband unit 100 can be spaced from each other. - The above description of the present invention is provided for the purpose of illustration, and it would be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without changing technical conception and essential features of the present invention. Thus, it is clear that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and do not limit the present invention.
