Definitions

  • the invention relates to a buckle device for adjusting and tightening a strap, said buckle being composed of a pair of superposed rings having rectangular frames of different dimensions, the first largest ring having a first opening rectangular portion disposed in a second rectangular opening in the second ring of smaller size, so as to define a transverse slot for passage of the strap, the slot being arranged between one of the outer edges of the second ring, and the adjacent side of the first opening of the first ring, the loop being either in a locking position of the strap in the slot following power up, or in a release position after a relative movement between the two rings causing an increase in the area passing through the slot.
  • a loop is used in particular for tightening a harness strap and shorts.
  • the second ring is mounted floating on the first ring, and is retained by a loop of sewn strap directly surrounding the two rear crosses of the rings.
  • the other end of the strap is wedged in the slot between the two rings upon application of a pulling force on the lower strand.
  • the wedging effect disappears, and the strap can then slide into the slot.
  • the tension of the strap causes reactions on the upper crossbar, and hinders its displacement in translation, as well as the rotation of the loop.
  • the two rings are indeed plated one on the other, and the resulting rubbing effect, hinders their relative movement of movement, and the pinching of the strap in the slot of the adjustment side is imperfect under certain conditions.
  • This type of known loop has been perfected by the addition of a through tube with play the overlapping sleepers of the two rings opposite the slot.
  • the large diameter of the tube thus allows the two rings of the loop, to slide easily on one another, and to turn in the fixed strap while maintaining their relative movements.
  • the presence of the tube nevertheless increases the size of the loop.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a double ring loop device for easy handling of loosening when the strap is under tension, without increasing the size of the loop.
  • the fastening device is characterized in that the loop is associated with a positioning wedge housed opposite the slot, surrounding a first closed turn of the strap, said positioning wedge separating the upper strand and the lower strand of said turn of the other to reduce the effect of friction during the relative movement between the two rings.
  • the positioning wedge is equipped with two guide orifices traversed respectively by the lower strand and the upper strand of the closed turn attached to the loop. Both orifices are separated from each other by a wedge-shaped intermediate wall also serving as a stop for the largest first ring.
  • the presence of the wedge according to the invention makes it possible to reduce the friction and to promote the relative movement of sliding of the two rings, both during the tightening and loosening of the strap.
  • the buckle is free to move back when loosening, and free to turn for full opening, for example to remove the belt of a harness.
  • the attachment device DA comprises a loop 10 composed of a pair of superimposed rings 11, 12 having rectangular or trapezoidal structures of different dimensions.
  • 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 end 15b (right) of the strap 15 is then inserted into a transverse slot 16 located between the outer edge of the second ring 12, and the adjacent side of the first opening 13. It then returns in the opposite direction the first ring 11 forming a second turn 18b open around the right crossbar 19 of the second ring 12 from above.
  • the loop 10 is associated with a positioning wedge 20 housed inside the first turn 18a closed.
  • This positioning wedge 20 surrounds the first turn 18a over the entire width of the strap.
  • the lower strand and the upper strand of the first turn 18a closed respectively pass through two orifices 21, 22 superimposed formed in the positioning wedge 20, which is thus trapped between the seam 17 and the ends of the two rings 11, 12.
  • the orifices 21, 22 are formed by way of examples by grooves which pass through the shim 20 from one side to the other in the longitudinal direction.
  • the lower orifice 21 extends parallel to the base 23, while the other superimposed orifice 22 is inclined at an acute angle towards the seam 17.
  • the two orifices 21, 22 are delimited and separated from each other by an intermediate wedge-shaped wall 24 of trapezoidal cross-section.
  • the right vertical face serves as a stop 25 for the lower ring 11, whereas the wall 24 is extended at the opposite end by a nose 26 projecting from the two orifices 21, 22 in the direction of the seam 17.
  • the intermediate wall 24 may be devoid of the projecting nose 26, and the vertical section of the corner may be different.
  • the user draws (arrow F1, figure 2 ) on the end 15b of the strap 15 to the desired setting.
  • the tension exerted on the strap 15 drives the ring 12 from above in the same direction (arrow F2) to ensure the jamming of the second turn 18b in the slot 16.
  • the ring 11 from below remains substantially in abutment against the stop 25 of the shim 20.
  • the two upper and lower strands of the first turn 18a do not crush the two rings 11, 12 thanks to the positioning wedge 20.
  • the figure 3 shows the entire loop 10 and wedge 20 after a free rotation of the rings 11, 12 in the direction of the opening. Just lift the end of the ring 11 on the side of the coil 18b by turning it counterclockwise. After simultaneous pivoting of the two rings 11, 12 beyond 90 °, the ring 12 from above recedes in first turn 18a towards the shim 20, causing a loosening of the strap in the slot 16. During this operation, the shim 20 remains substantially in place in the turn 18a.
  • the presence of the wedge 20 in the turn 18a closed reduces the friction of the two rings 11, 12 superimposed when the strap is stretched.
  • the relative movement of sliding of the two rings 11, 12 is thus facilitated, both during tightening and loosening of the strap 15.
  • the loop 10 is free to move back when loosening, and free to rotate for a full opening, for example to remove the belt from a harness.
  • positioning wedge 20 may have a shape different from that shown in FIGS. Figures 1 to 3 .
  • the positioning wedge 20 is formed either by two separate parts, or by a single piece, or by two parts assembled to one another.
  • the positioning wedge 20 may also be made of flexible plastic material, and may be attached to the first closed turn 18a of the strap 15 by seams.
