Description

この発明は、バックルアッセンブリ及び操作部材に関する。   The present invention relates to a buckle assembly and an operation member.

鞄やバックパック等の装身具や衣類等の中には、帯状体が挿通されたバックルが用いられているものがある。このバックルの一つとして、特許文献１には、図１４に示すように、筒状部１０３を有し一方のベルトＢが取り付けられた雌部材１０１と、差込みアーム１０４を有し他方のベルトＢが取り付けられた雄部材１０２とを備えたバックルが記載されている。雌部材１０１は、係合突部１０６を有する１対の操作アーム１０５と、操作アーム１０５の係合突部１０６に対向する窓部１０７とを有している。雄部材１０２は、差込みアーム１０４の先端に係合部１０８を有する。   Some accessories such as bags and backpacks, clothing, and the like use a buckle through which a belt-like body is inserted. As one of the buckles, in Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 14, a female member 101 having a cylindrical portion 103 and having one belt B attached thereto, and an insertion arm 104 and the other belt B are provided. A buckle with a male member 102 to which is attached is described. The female member 101 has a pair of operation arms 105 having engagement protrusions 106, and a window 107 that faces the engagement protrusions 106 of the operation arms 105. The male member 102 has an engaging portion 108 at the distal end of the insertion arm 104.

雌部材１０１に雄部材１０２の差込みアーム１０４を挿入する際、差込みアーム１０４は筒状部１０３の内側面を摺動し、内側へ弾性変形する。そして差込みアーム１０４の先端の係合部１０８が、雌部材１０１の窓部１０７に至ると、各差込みアーム１０４は、撓みにより保持されていた弾発力により筒状部１０３内で外向きに拡開して、係合部１０８が窓部１０７に挿入された係合状態となる。   When the insertion arm 104 of the male member 102 is inserted into the female member 101, the insertion arm 104 slides on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 103 and elastically deforms inward. When the engaging portion 108 at the tip of the insertion arm 104 reaches the window portion 107 of the female member 101, each insertion arm 104 expands outward in the cylindrical portion 103 by the elastic force held by the bending. It opens and the engaging part 108 will be in the engagement state inserted in the window part 107. FIG.

バックルの締結を解除する際は、操作アーム１０５の先端を親指と人差し指とで互いに内方に押圧する。これにより、各操作アーム１０５が内側に撓み、それぞれの係合突部１０６が、雄部材１０２の係合部１０８を内側に押圧して、差込みアーム１０４を内側に撓ませる。これにより、雄部材１０２は抜き出し方向へ付勢されて雌部材１０１より押し出され、締結が解除される。   When releasing the fastening of the buckle, the tip of the operation arm 105 is pressed inward with the thumb and forefinger. Thereby, each operation arm 105 bends inward, and each engaging protrusion 106 presses the engaging portion 108 of the male member 102 inward to bend the insertion arm 104 inward. As a result, the male member 102 is urged in the extraction direction and pushed out from the female member 101, and the fastening is released.

For example, when the base end portion of the operation arm 105 is pressed with a finger, the operation arm 105 does not bend, and the engagement portion 108 protruding from the window portion 107 of the female member 101 via the engagement protrusion 106 is inward. Can't push into. For this reason, in a situation where a fine operation with a fingertip is difficult, such as when wearing a thick glove, the engagement protrusion 106 of the buckle cannot be pressed accurately, and fastening release becomes difficult. For this reason, the improvement of the operativity in the fastening cancellation | release of a buckle was requested | required.

The arm 25 includes an arm portion 26 extending obliquely downward in the figure from the step 16 a and a pressing portion 27 provided at the tip of the arm portion 26. When a pressing force is applied to the pressing portion 27, the arm portion 26 is bent toward the cylindrical portion 15 of the female member 11 around the base end on the step 16a side. Further, when the pressing on the pressing portion 27 is released, the original position is restored by the elastic force. Further, the pressing portion 27 is disposed so as to face the window portion 22.

図５に示すように、アーム２５の押圧部２７は、偏平状をなし、雌部材１１の窓部２２に挿入可能な大きさに形成されている。押圧部２７には、雌部材１１に操作部材１３が固定された際に、操作部材１３の内側面にその一部が接触する当接面２７ａと、窓部２２から突出した雄部材１２の差込部１４の一部を押圧する押圧面２７ｂとが形成されている。当接面２７ａは、押圧部２７の外周面のうち最も外側に配置されている。また、押圧面２７ｂは、雌部材１１に操作部材１３を固定しない状態では、筒部１５の端面１５ａに対して傾斜し、スリーブ２３に係止された雄部材１２の差込部１４の一部に略平行となっている。   As shown in FIG. 5, the pressing portion 27 of the arm 25 has a flat shape and is sized to be inserted into the window portion 22 of the female member 11. When the operating member 13 is fixed to the female member 11, the pressing portion 27 is different from the contact surface 27 a that partially contacts the inner surface of the operating member 13 and the male member 12 protruding from the window portion 22. A pressing surface 27b that presses a part of the insertion portion 14 is formed. The contact surface 27 a is disposed on the outermost surface of the outer peripheral surface of the pressing portion 27. Further, the pressing surface 27 b is inclined with respect to the end surface 15 a of the cylindrical portion 15 in a state where the operation member 13 is not fixed to the female member 11, and a part of the insertion portion 14 of the male member 12 locked to the sleeve 23. Is substantially parallel to

また、雌部材１１に操作部材１３を固定しない状態では、押圧部２７は、その一部が、テープ取付部１６のうち最も外側に張り出した下端と鍔部１７の外周面とを結ぶ外側線ＬＮよりも突出している。このため、雌部材１１に操作部材１３を固定すると、アーム２５は操作部材１３の内側面に押圧されて内側に撓むとともに、弾性力により操作部材１３を外側に付勢する。   Further, in a state where the operation member 13 is not fixed to the female member 11, the pressing portion 27 has an outer line LN that partially connects the lower end of the tape mounting portion 16 that projects outward and the outer peripheral surface of the flange portion 17. Than protruding. For this reason, when the operating member 13 is fixed to the female member 11, the arm 25 is pressed by the inner surface of the operating member 13 and bent inward, and the operating member 13 is urged outward by elastic force.

図６に示すように、筒部１５の底面には、各操作部材１３を雌部材１１に固定するための遊嵌構造を構成する突条１５ｓが２対形成されている。各対の突条１５ｓは、筒部１５の幅方向に平行に延び、テープ取付部１６の近傍と鍔部１７の近傍とに間隔を空けてそれぞれ形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 6, two pairs of protrusions 15 s constituting a loose fitting structure for fixing each operation member 13 to the female member 11 are formed on the bottom surface of the cylindrical portion 15. Each pair of protrusions 15 s extends in parallel with the width direction of the cylindrical portion 15, and is formed in the vicinity of the tape attachment portion 16 and the vicinity of the flange portion 17 with a space therebetween.

次に、雄部材１２について説明する。図７に示すように、雄部材１２は、テープＴを挿通するためのテープ取付部３０を備えている。テープ取付部３０には、テープＴを挿通するための細長状のテープ挿通孔３１，３２が形成されている。このうちテープ挿通孔３２内には、傾斜面３２ａが形成されている。   Next, the male member 12 will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, the male member 12 includes a tape attachment portion 30 for inserting the tape T. The tape attachment portion 30 is formed with elongated tape insertion holes 31 and 32 for inserting the tape T. Among these, an inclined surface 32 a is formed in the tape insertion hole 32.

テープ取付部３０からは、雌部材１１のスロット部２０に挿入される差込部１４が延出されている。差込部１４は、テープ取付部３０に連続して形成された台形状の基部１４ａと、基部１４ａの長手方向における中央部から、その長手方向と直交する方向に延びる支持部３３とを備えている。支持部３３の先端には、該先端から基部１４ａ側に向かって斜めに延びる１対の可撓片３４が形成されている。可撓片３４の先端には、雌部材１１のスリーブ２３の傾斜面２３ａの頂部に係止可能な係止部３５が設けられている。係止部３５は、先細り形状に形成された、平面視略三角形状の爪部と、爪部の基端側に設けられた段差とを有している。各係止部３５の間の距離Ｌ１は、差込部１４の最大幅であり、この距離Ｌ１は、差込部１４が挿入される雌部材１１のスロット部２０の幅よりも大きい。このため、差込部１４は、スロット部２０に対し、可撓片３４を互いに近接する方向に撓ませた状態で挿入されていく。   From the tape attachment part 30, the insertion part 14 inserted in the slot part 20 of the female member 11 is extended. The insertion portion 14 includes a trapezoidal base portion 14a formed continuously with the tape attachment portion 30, and a support portion 33 extending from a central portion in the longitudinal direction of the base portion 14a in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Yes. A pair of flexible pieces 34 extending obliquely from the tip toward the base portion 14a is formed at the tip of the support portion 33. A locking portion 35 that can be locked to the top of the inclined surface 23 a of the sleeve 23 of the female member 11 is provided at the tip of the flexible piece 34. The locking part 35 has a claw part that is formed in a tapered shape and has a substantially triangular shape in plan view, and a step provided on the base end side of the claw part. The distance L1 between the locking portions 35 is the maximum width of the insertion portion 14, and this distance L1 is larger than the width of the slot portion 20 of the female member 11 into which the insertion portion 14 is inserted. For this reason, the insertion portion 14 is inserted into the slot portion 20 in a state where the flexible pieces 34 are bent in directions close to each other.

次に、各操作部材１３について図８に従って説明する。尚、各操作部材１３は同一形状である。操作部材１３は、板状の金属材を切削及びプレス加工することにより形成されている。また操作部材１３は、雌部材１１に固定された際に、アーム２５を含む筒部１５の端面１５ａ側を覆うことができる大きさに形成されている。   Next, each operation member 13 will be described with reference to FIG. Each operation member 13 has the same shape. The operation member 13 is formed by cutting and pressing a plate-shaped metal material. The operation member 13 is formed in a size that can cover the end surface 15 a side of the cylindrical portion 15 including the arm 25 when being fixed to the female member 11.

操作部材１３は、断面略コの字状（又はＵ字状）に形成され、略長方形状の第１片部３６と、第１片部３６と略平行に延びる第２片部３９と、第１片部３６及び第２片部３９とを連結する操作部３８とを備えている。   The operation member 13 is formed in a substantially U-shaped (or U-shaped) cross section, and includes a first piece 36 having a substantially rectangular shape, a second piece 39 extending substantially parallel to the first piece 36, and a first piece 36. An operation portion 38 that connects the one piece portion 36 and the second piece portion 39 is provided.

第１片部３６は、操作部材１３が雌部材１１に対して固定された際に、雌部材１１の筒部１５の表面に配設される。第１片部３６は、筒部１５の表面の形状に合わせてプレス加工されており、その長手方向の両端からは、操作部材１３を雌部材１１に遊嵌するための遊嵌構造を構成する各挿入片３６ａが突出している。これらの挿入片３６ａは、雌部材１１の挿入穴１６ｂ，１７ｂにそれぞれ固定される。また、挿入片３６ａの幅は、挿入穴１６ｂ，１７ｂの幅よりも小さく形成されている。即ち、挿入片３６ａ及び挿入穴１６ｂ，１７ｂは、操作部材１３を雌部材１１に対して変位可能に固定するための遊嵌構造を構成し、挿入片３６ａは、挿入穴１６ｂ，１７ｂに対して間隔（遊び）をもった状態で嵌合される。   The first piece 36 is disposed on the surface of the cylindrical portion 15 of the female member 11 when the operation member 13 is fixed to the female member 11. The first piece 36 is press-worked according to the shape of the surface of the cylindrical portion 15, and forms a loose-fitting structure for loosely fitting the operation member 13 to the female member 11 from both ends in the longitudinal direction. Each insertion piece 36a protrudes. These insertion pieces 36a are fixed to the insertion holes 16b and 17b of the female member 11, respectively. Further, the width of the insertion piece 36a is formed smaller than the widths of the insertion holes 16b and 17b. That is, the insertion piece 36a and the insertion holes 16b and 17b constitute a loose fitting structure for fixing the operation member 13 to the female member 11 so as to be displaceable, and the insertion piece 36a is formed with respect to the insertion holes 16b and 17b. They are fitted with a gap (play).

第２片部３９は、操作部材１３が雌部材１１に対して固定された際に、突条１５ｓが形成された底面に固定される。第２片部３９もまた、筒部１５の裏面の形状に合わせてプレス加工されており、その各端部には、雌部材１１の底面に形成された突条１５ｓを嵌合するための遊嵌構造を構成する１対の嵌合孔３９ａが貫通形成されている。嵌合孔３９ａは、細長状に形成され、その長手方向に沿った幅は、突条１５ｓの幅よりも大きく形成されている。即ち、嵌合孔３９ａ及び突条１５ｓは、操作部材１３を雌部材１１に対して変位可能に固定するための遊嵌構造を構成し、突条１５ｓは、嵌合孔３９ａに対して間隔（遊び）をもった状態で嵌合される。   When the operation member 13 is fixed to the female member 11, the second piece 39 is fixed to the bottom surface on which the protrusions 15s are formed. The second piece 39 is also press-worked in accordance with the shape of the back surface of the tube portion 15, and free ends for fitting the protrusions 15 s formed on the bottom surface of the female member 11 to each end thereof. A pair of fitting holes 39a constituting the fitting structure is formed through. The fitting hole 39a is formed in an elongated shape, and the width along the longitudinal direction is formed larger than the width of the protrusion 15s. That is, the fitting hole 39a and the protrusion 15s constitute a loose fitting structure for fixing the operation member 13 to the female member 11 so as to be displaceable, and the protrusion 15s is spaced from the fitting hole 39a ( Mated with play.

第２片部３９の短手方向の幅は、第１片部３６の短手方向の幅よりも大きくなっている。また、操作部材１３を雌部材１１に対して変位可能に設けるために、１対の操作部材１３を雌部材１１に固定した際に、各第２片部３９の間には間隔が設けられるようになっている。   The width of the second piece 39 in the short direction is larger than the width of the first piece 36 in the short direction. Further, when the pair of operation members 13 is fixed to the female member 11 in order to displace the operation member 13 with respect to the female member 11, a space is provided between the second piece portions 39. It has become.

操作部３８は、雌部材１１の筒部１５の端面１５ａの大きさとほぼ同一の大きさであって、人差し指や親指の指先の腹の大きさ程度に形成されている。操作部３８は、その外側に操作面３８ａを有し、内側に同じく平面状の接触面３８ｂを有する。接触面３８ｂは、操作部材１３が雌部材１１に固定された際、その一部が、雌部材１１のアーム２５の当接面２７ａに接触する。   The operation portion 38 is substantially the same size as the end surface 15a of the cylindrical portion 15 of the female member 11, and is formed to be approximately the size of the abdomen of the index finger or thumb. The operation unit 38 has an operation surface 38a on the outer side, and also has a flat contact surface 38b on the inner side. A part of the contact surface 38 b comes into contact with the contact surface 27 a of the arm 25 of the female member 11 when the operation member 13 is fixed to the female member 11.

操作部材１３を雌部材１１に固定する際は、第１片部３６及び第２片部３９の間の開口から雌部材１１の筒部１５を挿入する。そして、操作部材１３の挿入片３６ａを、雌部材１１の挿入穴１６ｂ，１７ｂにそれぞれ挿入する（図１参照）。また、図６に示すように、操作部材１３の嵌合孔３９ａに、雌部材１１の突条１５ｓをそれぞれ嵌合する。上記したように、挿入片３６ａと挿入穴１６ｂ、１７ｂとの間には間隔が設けられ、嵌合孔３９ａと突条１５ｓとの間にも間隔が設けられるため、各操作部材１３は雌部材１１に対してスライド（変位）可能である。   When the operation member 13 is fixed to the female member 11, the cylindrical portion 15 of the female member 11 is inserted from the opening between the first piece portion 36 and the second piece portion 39. Then, the insertion piece 36a of the operation member 13 is inserted into the insertion holes 16b and 17b of the female member 11 (see FIG. 1). Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the protrusions 15 s of the female member 11 are fitted into the fitting holes 39 a of the operation member 13. As described above, a space is provided between the insertion piece 36a and the insertion holes 16b and 17b, and a space is also provided between the fitting hole 39a and the protrusion 15s, so that each operation member 13 is a female member. 11 can slide (displace).

また、雌部材１１に各操作部材１３を固定すると、上記したように操作部材１３の内側面による規制によりアーム２５が内側に撓む。このため、アーム２５は、その弾性力により、操作部材１３を外側に付勢しながら、操作部材１３の内側に収容された状態となる。このとき、アーム２５の当接面２７ａの一部は、操作部材１３の接触面３８ｂの中央部に接触する。   Further, when each operation member 13 is fixed to the female member 11, the arm 25 is bent inward by the restriction by the inner surface of the operation member 13 as described above. Therefore, the arm 25 is housed inside the operation member 13 while urging the operation member 13 outward due to its elastic force. At this time, a part of the contact surface 27 a of the arm 25 comes into contact with the central portion of the contact surface 38 b of the operation member 13.

アーム２５に内側から付勢された操作部材１３は、挿入片３６ａと挿入穴１６ｂ、１７ｂとの係止、及び嵌合孔３９ａと突条１５ｓとの係止により、その操作面３８ａがテープ取付部１６の外周面と鍔部１７の外周面から突出しない位置に配置される。以下、この操作部材１３の位置を、非作用位置という。   The operation member 13 urged from the inside to the arm 25 has the operation surface 38a attached to the tape by the engagement between the insertion piece 36a and the insertion holes 16b and 17b and the engagement hole 39a and the protrusion 15s. It arrange | positions in the position which does not protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the part 16, and the outer peripheral surface of the collar part 17. FIG. Hereinafter, the position of the operation member 13 is referred to as a non-operation position.

次にバックルアッセンブリの作用について図９〜図１３に従って説明する。尚、図９〜図１３では、雌部材１１及び雄部材１２に挿通されたテープＴを便宜上省略している。
雌部材１１と雄部材１２とを締結する際は、一方のテープＴが挿通された雌部材１１の開口２１と、他方のテープＴが挿通された雄部材１２の差込部１４とを対向させる。そして、図９に示すように、差込部１４を、雌部材１１のスロット部２０に挿入していく。この際、上記したように差込部１４の最大幅は、スロット部２０の幅よりも大きいため、各可撓片３４は、ガイド溝２０ａに導かれながら係止部３５を互いに近接させるように内側に撓んだ状態で挿入されていく。また、係止部３５は、スロット部２０の側面を摺動していく。 Next, the operation of the buckle assembly will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 13, the tape T inserted through the female member 11 and the male member 12 is omitted for convenience.
When the female member 11 and the male member 12 are fastened, the opening 21 of the female member 11 through which one tape T is inserted is opposed to the insertion portion 14 of the male member 12 through which the other tape T is inserted. . Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the insertion portion 14 is inserted into the slot portion 20 of the female member 11. At this time, since the maximum width of the insertion portion 14 is larger than the width of the slot portion 20 as described above, the flexible pieces 34 are arranged so that the locking portions 35 are brought close to each other while being guided by the guide groove 20a. It is inserted while being bent inward. Further, the locking portion 35 slides on the side surface of the slot portion 20.

そして、係止部３５が雌部材１１の窓部２２に到達すると、可撓片３４は、撓み戻しにより外側へ拡開していく。可撓片３４が拡開していく過程で、スリーブ２３の傾斜面２３ａの頂部は、可撓片３４の外側面に当接した状態から、図１０に示すように係止部３５との段差と当接した状態へと移行し、係止部３５と係止して可撓片３４の拡開を規制する。このとき可撓片３４の一部が窓部２２から突出した状態となる。また、可撓片３４の先端は、雌部材１１の押圧部２７に当接する。このように可撓片３４の係止部３５が雌部材１１のスリーブ２３の頂部に係止されると、その係止によって雄部材１２が通常の力では雌部材１１から抜出できなくなり、雄部材１２が雌部材１１に締結された状態になる。   And when the latching | locking part 35 reaches | attains the window part 22 of the female member 11, the flexible piece 34 will be expanded outside by bending back. As the flexible piece 34 expands, the top of the inclined surface 23a of the sleeve 23 is in contact with the outer surface of the flexible piece 34, and as shown in FIG. It shifts to the state where it abuts and engages with the engaging portion 35 to restrict the expansion of the flexible piece 34. At this time, a part of the flexible piece 34 protrudes from the window portion 22. Further, the distal end of the flexible piece 34 comes into contact with the pressing portion 27 of the female member 11. When the locking portion 35 of the flexible piece 34 is locked to the top of the sleeve 23 of the female member 11 as described above, the male member 12 cannot be pulled out from the female member 11 with a normal force due to the locking. The member 12 is in a state of being fastened to the female member 11.

次に、互いに締結された雌部材１１及び雄部材１２を締結解除する際の作用について説明する。操作部材１３が雌部材１１に装着されていない場合、雌部材１１のアーム２５の押圧部２７を指で押圧する必要があるが、本実施形態のように雌部材１１に操作部材１３が装着されている場合、操作部材１３の操作面３８ａのいずれかの位置を押圧すればよい。   Next, an operation when the female member 11 and the male member 12 fastened to each other are released will be described. When the operation member 13 is not attached to the female member 11, it is necessary to press the pressing portion 27 of the arm 25 of the female member 11 with a finger, but the operation member 13 is attached to the female member 11 as in the present embodiment. If it is, any position on the operation surface 38a of the operation member 13 may be pressed.

まず、操作部材１３の中央部を押圧した場合について説明する。図１０に示すように、操作部材１３は、その接触面３８ｂの中央部にアーム２５との接触部Ｐを有している。このため、操作面３８ａの中央部を押圧すると、図１１に示すように、操作面３８ａが、筒部１５の端面１５ａに対して平行な状態を維持したまま変位する。   First, the case where the center part of the operation member 13 is pressed is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 10, the operating member 13 has a contact portion P with the arm 25 at the center of the contact surface 38b. For this reason, when the central portion of the operation surface 38a is pressed, the operation surface 38a is displaced while maintaining a state parallel to the end surface 15a of the cylindrical portion 15, as shown in FIG.

操作部材１３が筒部１５に近接する方向に変位すると、操作部材１３と押圧部２７との当接によりアーム２５が内側へ押圧される。アーム２５は内側へ向かって撓み、押圧部２７は、窓部２２から突出した雄部材１２の可撓片３４の外側面を押圧する。各可撓片３４は、押圧部２７からの押圧力を受けて内側に撓もうとする。そして、押圧力が、係止部３５とスリーブ２３の頂部との係止状態を解除可能な大きさとなったとき、係止部３５がスリーブ２３の頂部から外れ、各可撓片３４が互いに近接する方向へ撓む。このときの操作部材１３の位置を、以下、作用位置という。   When the operating member 13 is displaced in the direction approaching the cylindrical portion 15, the arm 25 is pressed inward by the contact between the operating member 13 and the pressing portion 27. The arm 25 bends inward, and the pressing portion 27 presses the outer surface of the flexible piece 34 of the male member 12 protruding from the window portion 22. Each flexible piece 34 receives a pressing force from the pressing portion 27 and tries to bend inward. When the pressing force is large enough to release the locking state between the locking portion 35 and the top of the sleeve 23, the locking portion 35 comes off from the top of the sleeve 23, and the flexible pieces 34 are close to each other. Bend in the direction of The position of the operation member 13 at this time is hereinafter referred to as an action position.

係止部３５とスリーブ２３の頂部との係止が解除されると、雄部材１２は、その撓み戻しの弾性力により、ガイド溝２０ａに導かれながら雌部材１１から抜け出す。そして、操作部材１３への押圧力が解除されると、操作部材１３は、アーム２５の弾性力により、作用位置から非作用位置に付勢される。   When the locking between the locking portion 35 and the top of the sleeve 23 is released, the male member 12 is pulled out of the female member 11 while being guided by the guide groove 20a by the elastic force of the bending back. When the pressing force on the operation member 13 is released, the operation member 13 is biased from the operating position to the non-operating position by the elastic force of the arm 25.

次に、各操作部材１３の操作面３８ａのうち、雌部材１１の鍔部１７側（開口側）を押圧した場合について説明する。図１２（ａ）に示すように、操作面３８ａのうち、アームとの接触部Ｐの真上ではなく、雌部材１１の鍔部１７側を指先で押圧操作した場合、各操作部材の操作部３８は、鍔部１７側へ傾動する。この際、操作部材１３は、傾動方向の両側において、挿入片３６ａ及び挿入穴１６ｂによる遊嵌構造と、挿入片３６ａ及び挿入穴１７ｂによる遊嵌構造とによって雌部材１１に連結され、各嵌合孔３９ａ及び各突条１５ｓによる遊嵌構造によって雌部材１１に連結されているので、操作部３８が傾いた状態であっても安定して支持することができる。また、挿入穴１７ｂ内での挿入片３６ａのスライド量と、鍔部１７側の嵌合孔３９ａ内の突条１５ｓのスライド量を、挿入穴１６ｂ内の挿入片３６ａのスライド量と、テープ取付部１６側の嵌合孔３９ａ内の突条１５ｓのスライド量よりも大きくすることで、操作部材１３傾動による両側の変位量の差を吸収することができる。   Next, the case where the collar part 17 side (opening side) of the female member 11 is pressed among the operation surfaces 38a of the operation members 13 will be described. As shown in FIG. 12 (a), when a pressing operation is performed on the flange portion 17 side of the female member 11 with the fingertip instead of directly above the contact portion P with the arm in the operating surface 38a, the operating portion of each operating member. 38 tilts toward the flange 17 side. At this time, the operating member 13 is connected to the female member 11 on both sides in the tilting direction by the loose fitting structure by the insertion piece 36a and the insertion hole 16b and the loose fitting structure by the insertion piece 36a and the insertion hole 17b. Since it is connected to the female member 11 by a loose fitting structure with the holes 39a and the respective protrusions 15s, it can be stably supported even when the operation portion 38 is inclined. The sliding amount of the insertion piece 36a in the insertion hole 17b, the sliding amount of the protrusion 15s in the fitting hole 39a on the flange portion 17 side, the sliding amount of the insertion piece 36a in the insertion hole 16b, and the tape attachment By making it larger than the sliding amount of the protrusion 15s in the fitting hole 39a on the part 16 side, it is possible to absorb the difference between the displacement amounts on both sides due to the tilting of the operating member 13.

また、図１２（ｂ）に示すように、操作部材１３は、その接触面３８ｂの中央部においてアーム２５と接触しているので、その接触部Ｐを作用点とし、接触部Ｐを中心に鍔部１７側へ傾動し、非作用位置から、鍔部１７側へ傾いた傾斜作用位置まで変位する。このとき、操作面３８ａに加えられた押圧力は、接触部Ｐを介して、押圧部２７に伝達される。   Also, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), the operating member 13 is in contact with the arm 25 at the central portion of the contact surface 38b, so that the contact portion P is the point of action and the contact portion P is the center. It tilts to the part 17 side and is displaced from the non-acting position to the tilting action position tilted to the flange part 17 side. At this time, the pressing force applied to the operation surface 38 a is transmitted to the pressing portion 27 via the contact portion P.

操作面３８ａに加えられた押圧力の大きさが、雄部材１２の可撓片３４の係止部３５とスリーブ２３の頂部との係止を解除可能な大きさ以上となると、係止部３５がスリーブ２３の頂部から外れ、雄部材１２は雌部材１１から抜出する。   When the magnitude of the pressing force applied to the operation surface 38a is greater than or equal to a size capable of releasing the locking between the locking portion 35 of the flexible piece 34 of the male member 12 and the top of the sleeve 23, the locking portion 35 Is removed from the top of the sleeve 23, and the male member 12 is extracted from the female member 11.

次に、操作部材１３の操作面３８ａのうち、雌部材１１のテープ取付部１６側を押圧した場合について説明する。図１３（ａ）に示すように、操作面３８ａのうちテープ取付部１６側を押圧操作した場合、操作部材１３は、テープ取付部１６側へ傾動する。このとき、挿入穴１６ｂ内の挿入片３６ａのスライド量と、テープ取付部１６側の嵌合孔３９ａ内の突条１５ｓのスライド量を、挿入穴１７ｂ内の挿入片３６ａのスライド量と、鍔部１７側の嵌合孔３９ａ内に嵌合された突条１５ｓのスライド量よりも大きくすることで、操作部材１３の両側の変位量の差を吸収することができる。   Next, the case where the tape attachment part 16 side of the female member 11 is pressed on the operation surface 38a of the operation member 13 will be described. As shown in FIG. 13A, when the tape mounting portion 16 side of the operation surface 38a is pressed, the operating member 13 tilts toward the tape mounting portion 16 side. At this time, the sliding amount of the insertion piece 36a in the insertion hole 16b, the sliding amount of the protrusion 15s in the fitting hole 39a on the tape mounting portion 16 side, the sliding amount of the insertion piece 36a in the insertion hole 17b, and By making it larger than the sliding amount of the protrusion 15s fitted in the fitting hole 39a on the part 17 side, the difference in the displacement amount on both sides of the operation member 13 can be absorbed.

また図１３（ｂ）に示すように、操作部材１３は、接触面３８ｂの中央においてアーム２５と接触しているので、その接触部Ｐを作用点としてテープ取付部１６側へ移動して、非作用位置からテープ取付部側へ傾いた傾斜作用位置まで変位する。即ち、操作部材１３は、接触面３８ｂの中央部において接触部Ｐを有しているので、鍔部１７側及びテープ取付部１６側の両方へほぼ同様に傾動可能である。このとき、操作面３８ａに加えられた押圧力は、接触部Ｐを介して、押圧部２７に伝達される。   Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, the operation member 13 is in contact with the arm 25 at the center of the contact surface 38b, and therefore moves to the tape mounting portion 16 side with the contact portion P as an action point. Displacement from the working position to the tilting working position tilted toward the tape mounting portion side. That is, since the operation member 13 has the contact part P in the center part of the contact surface 38b, it can be tilted to both the flange part 17 side and the tape attachment part 16 side in substantially the same manner. At this time, the pressing force applied to the operation surface 38 a is transmitted to the pressing portion 27 via the contact portion P.

操作面３８ａに加えられた押圧力の大きさが、雄部材１２の可撓片３４の係止部３５とスリーブ２３の頂部との係止を解除可能な大きさ以上となると、係止部３５がスリーブ２３の頂部から外れ、弾性力により、雄部材１２は雌部材１１から抜出する。   When the magnitude of the pressing force applied to the operation surface 38a is greater than or equal to a size capable of releasing the locking between the locking portion 35 of the flexible piece 34 of the male member 12 and the top of the sleeve 23, the locking portion 35 Is removed from the top of the sleeve 23, and the male member 12 is extracted from the female member 11 by the elastic force.

このように、操作部材１３の操作面３８ａのうち接触部Ｐの真上に当たる位置を押圧せずとも、操作面３８ａ上の一箇所を押圧すれば雌部材１１及び雄部材１２の締結を解除することができる。このため、厚い手袋を装着していても、締結を解除するための操作を容易に行うことができる。また、例えば子供等、細かな操作が難しいユーザであっても締結解除操作を容易に行うことができる。   Thus, even if it presses one place on the operation surface 38a, without pressing the position which hits the contact part P among the operation surfaces 38a of the operation member 13, the fastening of the female member 11 and the male member 12 will be cancelled | released. be able to. For this reason, even if a thick glove is worn, an operation for releasing the fastening can be easily performed. Moreover, even if it is a user who is difficult for detailed operation, such as a child, fastening release operation can be performed easily.

上記実施形態によれば、以下のような効果を得ることができる。
（１）上記実施形態では、操作部材１３は、雌部材１１に対して傾動可能に変位するため、接触部Ｐの上から押圧操作された場合には水平に変位し、操作面３８ａの端部が押圧操作された場合には、アーム２５との接触部Ｐを作用点として傾動しつつ変位することができる。そして、この操作部材１３の変位により、操作部材１３と当接したアーム２５が、雄部材１２の可撓片３４の一部を筒部１５の内側へ押圧し、係止部３５及びスリーブ２３の係止状態を解除する。このため、操作面３８ａのどの位置を押圧操作しても、雄部材１２及び雌部材１１の締結を容易に解除することができる。従って、バックルアッセンブリの操作性を向上することができる。 According to the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) In the above embodiment, the operation member 13 is displaced so as to be tiltable with respect to the female member 11, so that when the operation member 13 is pressed from above the contact portion P, the operation member 13 is displaced horizontally, and the end portion of the operation surface 38a. Can be displaced while tilting with the contact portion P with the arm 25 as an action point. Then, due to the displacement of the operation member 13, the arm 25 in contact with the operation member 13 presses a part of the flexible piece 34 of the male member 12 to the inside of the cylindrical portion 15, and the locking portion 35 and the sleeve 23 are Release the locked state. For this reason, the fastening of the male member 12 and the female member 11 can be easily released no matter which position of the operation surface 38a is pressed. Therefore, the operability of the buckle assembly can be improved.

（２）上記実施形態では、操作部材１３の接触部Ｐは、操作部材１３の接触面３８ｂの中央部に配置されている。このため、操作面３８ａのうち、接触部Ｐの真上以外のどの位置が操作されても、接触部Ｐを作用点としてアーム２５を押圧可能に傾動且つ変位することができる。   (2) In the above embodiment, the contact portion P of the operation member 13 is disposed at the center of the contact surface 38 b of the operation member 13. For this reason, even if any position of the operation surface 38a other than the position directly above the contact portion P is operated, the arm 25 can be tilted and displaced with the contact portion P as an action point so as to be pressed.

（３）上記実施形態では、操作部材１３は、その操作面３８ａが、互いに締結された雌部材１１及び雄部材１２の外周面に対して同一面上若しくは内側となるように設けられている。このため、操作面３８ａがバックルアッセンブリの外周面から突出せず、誤って解除操作されるようなことがない。   (3) In the above-described embodiment, the operation member 13 is provided such that the operation surface 38a is on the same surface or inside the outer peripheral surfaces of the female member 11 and the male member 12 fastened to each other. For this reason, the operation surface 38a does not protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the buckle assembly, and the release operation is not erroneously performed.

（４）上記実施形態では、操作部材１３及び雌部材１１は、間隔を持って互いに嵌合される遊嵌構造により連結されている。即ち、操作部材１３は、挿入片３６ａ及び嵌合孔３９ａを有し、雌部材１１は、挿入片３６ａを遊嵌する挿入穴１６ｂ、１７ｂと、嵌合孔３９ａに遊嵌される突条１５ｓとを有する。従って、挿入片３６ａと挿入穴１６ｂ，１７ｂとの間隔、及び嵌合孔３９ａと突条１５ｓとの間隔が設けられることで、操作部材１３が、非作用位置と、窓部から突出した可撓片３４の一部を押圧可能な作用位置又は傾斜作用位置との間で変位することができる。   (4) In the above-described embodiment, the operation member 13 and the female member 11 are connected by a loose fitting structure that is fitted to each other with an interval. That is, the operating member 13 has an insertion piece 36a and a fitting hole 39a, and the female member 11 has insertion holes 16b and 17b for loosely fitting the insertion piece 36a, and a protrusion 15s loosely fitted in the fitting hole 39a. And have. Therefore, by providing the space between the insertion piece 36a and the insertion holes 16b and 17b, and the space between the fitting hole 39a and the protrusion 15s, the operation member 13 is flexible and protrudes from the window portion. A part of the piece 34 can be displaced between an action position where the part 34 can be pressed or an inclination action position.

（５）操作部材１３は、傾動可能な方向の両側、即ちテープ取付部１６側と鍔部１７側とに、操作部材１３の傾動角度に応じてスライド量を可変とする遊嵌構造を備えている。即ち、操作部材１３は、傾動可能な各方向に挿入片３６ａをそれぞれ備えるとともに、嵌合孔３９ａをそれぞれ備えている。また、雌部材１１は、各挿入片３６ａを挿入可能な挿入穴１６ｂ，１７ｂと、各嵌合孔３９ａにそれぞれ嵌合可能な突条１５ｓとを備えている。このため、例えば操作部材１３がテープ取付部１６側に傾動した場合には、挿入穴１６ｂ内の挿入片３６ａのスライド量を、挿入穴１７ｂ内の挿入片３６ａのスライド量よりも大きくすることができる。また、テープ取付部１６側の嵌合孔３９ａ内の突条１５ｓのスライド量を、鍔部１７側の嵌合孔３９ａ内の突条１５ｓのスライド量よりも大きくすることができる。このため、傾動時の操作部材１３の両側における変位量の差を吸収することができる。従って、操作部材１３を安定して支持することができる。   (5) The operation member 13 is provided with a loose-fitting structure in which the slide amount can be varied according to the tilt angle of the operation member 13 on both sides in the tiltable direction, that is, on the tape mounting portion 16 side and the flange portion 17 side. Yes. In other words, the operation member 13 includes the insertion pieces 36a in each of the tiltable directions and the fitting holes 39a. The female member 11 includes insertion holes 16b and 17b into which the insertion pieces 36a can be inserted, and protrusions 15s that can be fitted into the fitting holes 39a. For this reason, for example, when the operation member 13 tilts toward the tape attachment portion 16, the sliding amount of the insertion piece 36a in the insertion hole 16b may be larger than the sliding amount of the insertion piece 36a in the insertion hole 17b. it can. Further, the sliding amount of the protrusion 15s in the fitting hole 39a on the tape attachment portion 16 side can be made larger than the sliding amount of the protrusion 15s in the fitting hole 39a on the flange portion 17 side. For this reason, the difference of the displacement amount in the both sides of the operation member 13 at the time of tilting can be absorbed. Therefore, the operation member 13 can be stably supported.

（６）上記実施形態では、操作部材１３は金属材からなるため、例えば樹脂で形成する場合よりも薄く形成することができる。このため、操作面３８ａに印加された押圧力を、雌部材１１の可撓片３４に伝達しやすくすることができる。   (6) In the said embodiment, since the operation member 13 consists of metal materials, it can be formed thinner than the case where it forms with resin, for example. For this reason, the pressing force applied to the operation surface 38 a can be easily transmitted to the flexible piece 34 of the female member 11.

（７）上記実施形態では、操作部材１３は、雌部材１１のうちテープ取付部１６から鍔部１７までを覆う大きさであるため、押圧操作を容易にすることができる。
尚、上記実施形態は以下のように変更してもよい。 (7) In the above-described embodiment, the operation member 13 has a size that covers the female member 11 from the tape attachment portion 16 to the flange portion 17, so that the pressing operation can be facilitated.
