En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte deux pièces de plastique ou de tout autre matériau approprié dont le corps principal doté d'un percement (1), (fig. 1 ) présente une forme inscrite dans un cercle, ces pièces sont strictement identiques. Ces deux pièces identiques sont également complémentaires, car elles peuvent, être associées et emboîtées pour former un assemblage fonctionnel destiné à connecter des sangles, parties d'accessoires et tout autre type de lien souple ou rigide. Le mode d'assemblage de ces deux pièces est intuitif car il repose sur une architecture ne laissant aucun doute quant à leur complémentarité. Ainsi, chaque pièce est constituée d'un empilement de parties arrondies permettant leur mutuelle imbrication. Ces parties arrondies sont des lobes (2), (fig.3) dont le tracé est défini selon une courbe de type sinusoïdale. On distingue trois types de lobe : le lobe supérieur (3), (fig. 2) qui constitue la partie haute de la pièce, le lobe inférieur (4). (fig. 2) qui constitue la partie basse de la pièce et dont le tracé est confondu avec celui du lobe supérieur (3). Le lobe intermédiaire (5), (fig. 2) qui est pris « en sandwich » entre les lobes supérieur (3) et inférieur (4) et ne se trouve pas confondu avec ceux-ci mais construit à l'inverse selon un axe de symétrie vertical et centrai. Le lobe supérieur (3) est doté dans sa partie centrale d'une découpe le traversant de part en part et formant un bouton poussoir (6), (fig. 1 ) doté d'un percement circulaire (7), (fig. 1). Ce bouton poussoir (6) est rattaché au lobe supérieur (3), dans sa partie arrière, par un segment de plastique constituant de fait une charnière souple (8), (fig. 1) et permettant son mouvement à travers l'épaisseur du lobe supérieur (3) lorsqu'une pression est exercée sur celui-ci. Ce bouton poussoir (6) est de nature asymétrique car il possède sur une partie de son pourtour orienté vers la partie centrale de la pièce une protubérance (9), (fig. S.) de forme parai léîëpipédique. La sous face du bouton poussoir (6) ne se trouve pas confondu avec le plan de la sous face du lobe supérieur (31 mais est légèrement en retrait de celui-ci ce qui génère une zone de réservation destinée à accueillir la partie saillante d'une pièce complémentaire appartenant au lobe intermédiaire (5) de la pièce complémentaire. La face supérieure du bouton poussoir (6) est renflée de sorte que son profil forme une partie en saillie par rapport à la surface externe du lobe supérieur (3). Le lobe inférieur (4) est doté d'un percement (10). (fig. 2) quasi circulaire dont 3e tracé est exactement défini par une projection de la découpe du. bouton poussoir (6) du lobe supérieur G) à travers celui-ci. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises two pieces of plastic or any other suitable material whose main body with a piercing (1) (FIG 1) has a shape inscribed in a circle, these parts are strictly identical . These two identical parts are also complementary because they can be associated and nested to form a functional assembly for connecting straps, parts of accessories and any other type of flexible or rigid connection. The method of assembly of these two parts is intuitive because it is based on an architecture leaving no doubt as to their complementarity. Thus, each piece consists of a stack of rounded parts allowing their mutual nesting. These rounded portions are lobes (2), (fig.3) whose path is defined according to a sinusoidal type curve. There are three types of lobes: the upper lobe (3) (Figure 2) which constitutes the upper part of the room, the lower lobe (4). (Fig 2) which is the lower part of the room and whose layout is confused with that of the upper lobe (3). The intermediate lobe (5) (FIG 2) which is "sandwiched" between the upper (3) and lower (4) lobes and is not merged with these but instead built along an axis of vertical and central symmetry. The upper lobe (3) is provided in its central part with a cut-out passing right through it and forming a push-button (6) (FIG 1) with a circular bore (7) (FIG 1 ). This push button (6) is attached to the upper lobe (3), in its rear part, by a plastic segment constituting in fact a flexible hinge (8) (FIG 1) and allowing its movement through the thickness of the upper lobe (3) when pressure is exerted on it. This pushbutton (6) is of asymmetrical nature because it has on a part of its periphery oriented towards the central part of the piece a protuberance (9), (fig S.) parai leipipedic form. The underside the push button (6) is not confused with the plane of the underside of the upper lobe (31 but is slightly set back from it which generates a reservation area intended to accommodate the projecting portion of a complementary piece belonging to the intermediate lobe (5) of the complementary piece The upper face of the push button (6) is bulged so that its profile forms a portion projecting from the outer surface of the upper lobe (3). 4) is provided with a quasi-circular piercing (10) (FIG 2), the third path of which is exactly defined by a projection of the cutout of the push button (6) of the upper lobe G) through it.
Le lobe intermédiaire (5) est doté dans sa partie centrale d'une découpe le traversant de part en part et formant une rondelle de verrouillage (.1 î ), (ftg. 1) dont le profil tronqué (l i a), (fig. 4) dépasse légèrement du plan, de la face supérieure de ce lobe intermédiaire (5 ). Cette rondelle de verrouillage ( 1 1) est rattachée au lobe intermédiaire (5) dans sa partie avant par un segment de plastique constituant de fait une charnière souple (12), (fig. 1 ) et permettant son mouvement à travers l'épaisseur du lobe intermédiaire (5) lorsqu'une pression est exercée sur celui-ci. La sons face de la rondelle de verrouillage ( 1 1) ne se trouve pas confondue avec le plan de la sous face du lobe intermédiaire (5), mais est légèrement en retrait de celui-ci ce qui génère une zone de réservation destinée à accueillir le déplacement de cette rondelle de -verrouillage (I I) de sorte que son épaisseur se trouve exactement contenue dans l 'épaisseur du lobe intermédiaire (5) à ce moment là. Le corps principal de la pièce est pourvu dans sa partie arrière d'une structure en saillie ( 13), (fig. 1) formant un passant destiné à accueillir le passage d'une sangle le rattachant à tout type d'objet, vêtemen o accessoire.  The intermediate lobe (5) is provided in its central part with a cutout passing therethrough and forming a locking washer (.1) (FIG. 1) whose truncated profile (IIa) (FIG. 4) slightly exceeds the plane, the upper face of the intermediate lobe (5). This locking washer (1 1) is attached to the intermediate lobe (5) in its front portion by a plastic segment constituting a flexible hinge (12) (FIG 1) and allowing its movement through the thickness of the intermediate lobe (5) when pressure is exerted thereon. The face of the lock washer (1 1) is not merged with the plane of the sub-face of the intermediate lobe (5), but is slightly set back from it, which generates a reservation area intended to accommodate the displacement of this lock washer (II) so that its thickness is exactly contained in the thickness of the intermediate lobe (5) at that moment. The main body of the piece is provided in its rear part with a projecting structure (13), (FIG 1) forming a passer to accommodate the passage of a strap connecting it to any type of object, clothing or accessory.
Selon une première variante illustrée (fig, 6), les parties latérales des lobes de la pièce peuvent être rognées de sorte que la pièce présente une forme plus ramassée de type paralléiépipédique et offrant donc un encorabrement. moindre conforme à certains besoins ou utilisations. Ce rognage ne modifie pas les caractéristiques essentielles de ia pièce qui conserve les mêmes propriétés fonctionnelles. On constate simplement dans ce cas là une redéfinition de certaines parties de celle-ci, comme les boutons poussoirs (6) pour que leur fonctionnement soit en adéquation avec ces nouvelles caractéristiques géométriques.  According to a first variant illustrated (FIG. 6), the lateral parts of the lobes of the part can be trimmed so that the part has a more compact form of parallelepipedic type and thus offering a flanking. less consistent with certain needs or uses. This trimming does not alter the essential characteristics of the part which retains the same functional properties. In this case, it is simply a redefinition of certain parts of it, such as the push buttons (6) so that their operation is in adequacy with these new geometric characteristics.
Selon une deuxième variante illustrée (fig, ?), chaque pièce du dispositif ne présente que deux lobes. Dans ce cas de figure il n'y a plus de lobe intermédiaire, mais uniquement un lobe supérieur (15). (fig. 7) et un lobe inférieur (16), (fig. 7) partagé par un axe de symétrie vertical et central. Cette suppression d'un lobe nécessite certains aménagements particuliers garantissant d'une pari la parfaite contrainte des deux pièces lors de leur jonction et deuxièmement la préservation des fonctionnalités du dispositif notamment en terme d'ajout de pièces Supplémentaires. According to a second variant illustrated (FIG. 1), each part of the device has only two lobes. In this case there is no intermediate lobe, but only an upper lobe (15). (Fig. 7) and a lower lobe (16), (Fig. 7) shared by a vertical and central axis of symmetry. This removal of a lobe requires some particular arrangements guaranteeing a bet the perfect constraint of the two parts at their junction and secondly the preservation of the functionality of the device including in terms of adding additional parts.
Pour garantir une parfaite contrainte des deux pièces lors de leur assemblage et donc pour obtenir un verrouillage efficient, la pièce intègre de nouveaux aménagement destinés à bloquer les lobes. Ainsi on constate la présence d'une cavité (17), (iïg.8) partie femelle, aménagée dans la courbure de la face interne du lobe supérieur (15). De même on constate la présence d'une cavité similaire (18), (il g. 9) aménagée dans la courbure de la face interne du lobe inférieur (16), Dans ces cavités ( 17, 18), parties femelles, viennent se loger les extrémités des lobes de chaque pièces ce qui permet une contrainte total, de l'assemblage constitué. Pour pouvoir pénétrer ces cavités (1 7, .18), les extrémités de chaque lobe présentent sur leurs bords, une zone de moindre épaisseur ( 19), (fîg. 7). Cette zone de moindre épaisseur ne se limite pas à l'extrémité avant de chaque lobe mais se développe de manière concentrique sur tout leur pourtour externe,  To guarantee a perfect constraint of the two parts during their assembly and thus to obtain an efficient locking, the piece integrates new arrangements intended to block the lobes. Thus there is the presence of a cavity (17), (iïg.8) female part, arranged in the curvature of the inner face of the upper lobe (15). Similarly, the presence of a similar cavity (18) (FIG 9) arranged in the curvature of the inner face of the lower lobe (16), In these cavities (17, 18), female parts, are found accommodate the ends of the lobes of each piece which allows a total stress of the assembled assembly. To be able to penetrate these cavities (17, 18), the ends of each lobe have on their edges, a zone of smaller thickness (19), (Fig. 7). This zone of lesser thickness is not limited to the front end of each lobe but develops concentrically over their entire outer periphery,
Dans cette deuxième variante, la pièce ne possède plus une structure en saillie (1 3), mais l'intègre directement conjointement au percement (1) de son. corps principal par l'entremise de zones de moindre épaisseur (21,), (fîg. 7) formant ainsi un passant destiné à accueillir le passage d'une sangle permettant de le rattacher à tout type d'objet, vêtement ou accessoire.  In this second variant, the piece no longer has a projecting structure (1 3), but integrates directly directly to the piercing (1) sound. main body through areas of lesser thickness (21,), (Fig. 7) thus forming a loop intended to accommodate the passage of a strap for reattaching it to any type of object, garment or accessory.
Le dispositif et ses variantes ainsi définies permettent donc de connecter des sangles entre elles ou directement des parties d'objet, vêtements et accessoires devant être unis et désunis à volonté. Lorsque les deux parties identiques et complémentaires du dispositif se connectent les lobes s'interpénétrent et la rondelle de verrouillage ( 1 1 ) de chaque pièce subi une pression du lobe supérieur (3,15), (deuxième variante) qui la force à descendre dans son logement. A ce moment, son épaisseur se trouve parfaitement contenu dans l'épaisseur du lobe intermédiaire (5), ou du lobe inférieur (16), (deuxième variante) permettant ainsi aux lobes de chaque pièces de se positionner parfaitement en butée au fond de la courbure de leur partie complémentaire. A cet instant, la rondelle de verrouillage ( 1 1 ) de chaque pièce n'est plus contrainte par une pression verticale car elle rencontre la réservation de la sous face du bouton poussoir (6) qui lui permet de remonter et de se loger dans cette réservation. L'assemblage se trouve donc verrouillé. Pour accueillir une ou plusieurs pièces supplémentaires il suffit d'exercer une pression sur un des boutons poussoir (6) qui va de ce fait repousser la rondelle de verrouillage (1 1 ) dans l 'épaisseur de son lobe respectif (5, 16} et permettre l'ouverture partielle de l'assemblage. Effectivement, à ce moment là les deux pièces ne se trouvent assemblées que par une seule rondelle de verrouillage ( i l ) qui devient de fait un pivot. Ce pivot induit un degré de liberté permettant la rotation des pièces l'une par rapport à l'autre et donc Fouveriure du système permettant d'accueillir e de connecter une ou plusieurs pièces supplémentaires en fonction des besoins à satisfaire. The device and its variants thus defined allow to connect straps between them or directly parts of object, clothing and accessories to be united and disunited at will. When the two identical and complementary parts of the device are connected, the lobes interpenetrate and the locking washer (1 1) of each part undergoes a pressure of the upper lobe (3, 15), (second variant) which forces it to descend into his dwelling. At this time, its thickness is perfectly contained in the thickness of the intermediate lobe (5), or the lower lobe (16), (second variant) thus allowing the lobes of each piece to position perfectly in abutment at the bottom of the curvature of their complementary part. At this moment, the locking washer (1 1) of each piece is no longer constrained by a vertical pressure because it meets the reservation of the underside of the push button (6) which allows it to go up and lodge in this booking. The assembly is thus locked. To accommodate one or more additional parts it is sufficient to exert pressure on one of the push buttons (6) which will thereby push the locking washer (1 1) in the thickness of its respective lobe (5, 16} and allow the partial opening of the assembly. moment two parts are assembled only by a single lock washer (he) which becomes a pivot. This pivot induces a degree of freedom allowing the rotation of the parts relative to each other and thus Fouverure the system to accommodate e to connect one or more additional parts according to the needs to be met.
