This invention relates to fasteners, and more specifically, to use with belts, straps, webbings and other elongate lengths of materials that can be connected together at both ends. It is about being a fastener.

Various types of fasteners have been known to date. As one known fastener, for example, the fastener described in New Zealand Patent No. 117,529 is described for a buckle. In this buckle, the first buckle part is flat and has an aperture through which one end of the flat second buckle part first passes.

The fastener is formed around the sphere centered on a cross bar located between both ends of the second buckle component, so that the belt end is attached to the second buckle component. After the second buckle component is passed through the opening, it is rotated around its horizontal axis so that the two components are parallel to each other. Then, when tensioning the second end of the belt passing through the opening, the two buckle parts are tensioned together face to face relationship such that the second buckle part is opened on a pair of shoulders at the sides of the opening. Is partially traversed.

Another buckle is described in New Zealand Patent No. 175,459, which describes the same buckle. The buckle spans the opening when the two buckle pieces are in a face-to-face relationship with the second buckle piece being on the transverse piece of the first buckle piece. In the buckle connection described in New Zealand Patent No. 117,529, one end is lifted to pivot around the shoulder end until the second buckle part is aligned with its opening. Pivot releases the second buckle component.

This can then return through the opening.

To do this, when two parts are connected together, some of the openings must be exposed. This is unsightly unattractive to the buyer or user. To date, the placement of fasteners and buckles has not been as accurate and inefficient as required for use.

Next, embodiments of this invention will be described below in accordance with the accompanying drawings.

The invention is described by way of example with respect to a fastener (for example a fastener comprising first and second fastening elements), the fastening element being, for example, a length of one webbing, belt, or the like. The material of each is attached to the end.

However, this is just an example.

In the preferred form of this invention, the fastening element is formed of a suitable plastic material, but this can be used only as an example, for example, when a moldable or non-molded material such as metal can be formed. However, the preferred material in this invention is a plastic material.

First, with reference to FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings, FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a first locking element 10. The first fixing element 10 is formed of a plastic material and is recessed portion formed by raised side walls 12 and raised front walls 36 on the front thereof. Has 25. The first fixing element 10 includes a base portion or a partial rear base portion 22 and an open rear wall 16. A transverse aperture 24 passes through the recess 25. The transverse opening 24 is formed over the entire width of the recessed upper portion 25 and then formed in the recessed tail portion 24a. The forward portion of the first fixing element 10 is forwarded. end 14 is formed as a bar forming a transverse slot or recess 18, the transverse slot or recess 18 being formed at the end of the material or strip. Is passed and attached to the first fastening element 10 and attached to the end of the belt or of the length material.

The front wall 36 of the upper groove portion 25 is formed of a transverse ledge portion 30 immediately adjacent to the aperture 24, and its transverse projections. It is formed to be integral with the portion 30. It is preferable that the connecting portion between the transverse projection portion 30 and the front surface of the protruding front wall 36 be formed in a substantially circular shape (curved surface) as indicated by reference numeral 32 (curved portion). The protruding side walls 12 of the first fixing element 10 are tapered inward and rearward from one another in this embodiment. As will be described below, this helps to maintain a complete and snug fit between these elements when the first fastening element 10 and the second fastening element 40 are engaged with each other.

1, the inner surface 12a of the protruding side wall 12 is provided with a stepped portions 17 as in reference numeral 17 in the first embodiment of the present invention. ) And the single phase portion 17 are adapted to bind (by frictional binding) to the stepped formation and the contour on the wall outer surface of the second fixing element (as described below), which is also the first fixing element. Assists a suitable and effective "friction fit" binding between 10 and the second fixing element 40.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the second fixing element 40 has a forward end 40a and a rearwardly extending tail end 40b. The posterior end 40b constitutes a downwardly extending transverse lip 41 at its distal end. As an example of two horizontal slots 42 and 44 spaced toward the front end portion 40a of the second fixing element 40, they are set apart by cross bars 46. The transverse slots 42 and 44 allow the end of the belt, strap or thin material to pass through, and if necessary attach or sew over itself and strap the second fastening element to the strap, belt or thin material. Place it so that it is attached to the end of it.

When necessary, such straps or belts 48 pass through their transverse slots 42 and 44, leaving them in place to allow adjustments such as tightening, loosening, and the like.

As can be seen in FIGS. 4 and 5, stepped formations 49 are formed on the outer side surfaces of the second fixing element 40, or the first and second fixing elements can be formed in a suitable shape. 10) 40 is configured to assist in proper frictional engagement with the first fixing element 10 when binding to each other.

Next, Figs. 6 and 7 will be described.

The end of the strap or strap 20 is passed through the transverse slot 18 of the front end 14 of the first fastening element 10, which in itself is sewn or attached in an appropriate manner and the first fastening element 10 ) Is attached to the end of the belt, strap or thin material 20. The other end of the belt, the strap or the material then passes through the side bars 46 and passes through the side slots 42 and the side slots 44 of the second fastening element 40 and then fixed in itself in a suitable manner. Sew.

As described above, the strap 20 is left loose if necessary or left unattached (adjustment, etc.).

Next, the second fastening element 40 is arranged to be attached to the end of the belt, strap or thin material 48 as in the method shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The above description is merely an example, and the first crazy second fastening elements 10 and 40 may be attached to the end of the strap, belt or thin material in a suitable manner. In order to engage the first and second fastening elements with each other, the second fastening element 40 is first introduced into the lateral opening 24 of the first fastening element 10, behind or below (preferably but not necessarily). Pass it from the front end part 40a.

However, when necessary, the posterior forming end 40b may first pass through the transverse opening 24. As the second fastening element 40 passes through the transverse opening 24, the second fastening element 40 pivots around, i.e., around, the transverse bar 46, and is thus substantially parallel to the first fastening element 10. .

Then, by pulling the two belts together, the fastening elements 10 and 40 are tensioned with each other. Since the second fastening element 40 spans the transverse opening 24, the first and second fastening elements 10, 40 are aligned so that the belt continues to pull in the opposite direction ( Since the belt is under tension, the second fastening element 40 is received as it is engaged inside the upper portion 25 of the recess of the first fastening element 10.

The first fastening element 10 can be received and positioned, in particular by hand, in the recessed upper portion 25, and the first and second elements are independent of the pressure or tension applied to the belt or strap 48, 20. The fixing elements 10 and 40 can be engaged. When the second fixing element 40 is set in the recessed upper portion 25 to be engaged, a step portion and / or a profile is formed on the inner side surface 12a of the protruding side wall 12 of the first fixing element 10. A single phase structure and / or a propie structure 49 on the outer surface of the portion 17 and the second fixing element 40 are obtained and engaged and engaged with each other in a "friction-fit" binding. It is also tapered into the protruding side wall 12 of the first fixing element 10 to assist in reliably and properly binding between the first fixing element 10 and the second fixing element 40. do.

In the closed position as shown in FIG. 7, the closing and fastening are held by the straps or belts 20 and 48 in tension, and the downwardly formed transverse grain at the distal end of the last part of the second fastening element ( 41) also spans the belt 48 to assist in supporting it.

In addition, in the first fixing element 10 and the second fixing element 40 which are bonded to each other, the front end portion 40a of the second fixing element 40 has a transverse protrusion portion immediately adjacent to the transverse opening 24 ( 30), and it is set again.

As previously described, the connection 32 between the protruding front wall 36 and the transverse protrusion 30 is preferably configured as a curved surface (but is not required). When unfasten the belt, the strap, or the like, or separate the first and second fastening elements 10 and 40 from each other, the rear end final end 40b of the second fastening element 40 is moved to the first fastening element. Remove from (10) and lift outward.

By way of example, one or more fingers may be placed below or around the shearing portion 40a and below or below the shaping lip 41 of the shearing portion 40a to form the second fixing element 40 in FIG. Raise in the direction of arrow "A".

In this way, the forward end 40a pivots around the lateral projection 30. If the second fixing element 40 continues to move upward, its front end portion 40a and its upper surface come into contact with the protruding front wall 36, which is transverse to the front end portion of the second fixing element 40. Moved away from the protrusions 30 and lined off, moving or sliding into the transverse openings 24, and then the second fastening element 4 (any material 48 attached thereto) is transverse Passing through the opening 24, it is released from the first fixing element 10. In use, the composite fastening and movement of the second fastening element 40 (as in the method described above), when the belt 48 is under tension, causes the second fastening element 40 and the belt 48 to laterally open. 24) and quickly withdraw from the first fixing element (10).

Although the present invention has been described with respect to belts and straps, it can be used to accommodate the first fixing element 10 and the second fixing element 40 together or to bind other articles or materials in different directions.

This invention can be practiced in various ways without departing from the scope of the claims.
