- This application relates generally to retaining assemblies and particularly to retaining assemblies for attaching a strap to an item of luggage.
- Retaining assemblies serve a variety of functions. They can be used for attaching a set of keys to a belt buckle, for example, or may be used to hold a device such as a whistle, or may be used to attach a strap to an item of luggage.
- Many retaining assemblies include a generally J-shaped portion, and an additional portion to complete the “circle.”
- the additional portion typically communicates with a spring that keeps the additional portion pressed against the end of the J-shaped portion, unless a force is applied on a protrusion attached to the additional portion to overcome the spring force.
- a relatively stiff spring is chosen. Thus, depending on the application, the amount of force to be applied to the protrusion necessary to overcome the spring is high.
- the entire J-shaped portion slides linearly in order to engage and disengage.
- an item can be placed on the retaining assembly when the J-shaped portion is in an open position.
- the user presses on the J-shaped portion the user slides it manually into a closed position, retaining whatever item has been placed on the retaining assembly.
- a user typically presses a release button, and the J-shaped portion is released by a mechanism that includes a spring pushing it linearly outward.
- Such devices are typically fabricated from plastic, and thus are susceptible to fracture under heavy loading.
- the J-shaped member is the harnessing feature as well as the sliding feature, under loading, the J-shaped member tends to separate from the rest of the assembly and the retaining assembly may disengage from whatever item it was attached to.
- One of the objects of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned problems and deficiencies.
- a retaining assembly includes a first portion adapted to be attached to a strap; a second portion capable of being secured to the first portion, the second portion including a retaining portion capable of cooperating with a harnessing post; and a member capable of sliding over the retaining portion and cooperating with the second portion in a plurality of positions; wherein, when the member is in a first position, the combination of the retaining portion and the member is capable of retaining the harnessing post.
- the load is predominately carried by the retaining portion of the second portion, which may be fabricated from a stronger material than the member.
- the second portion is fabricated from a metallic material and the member is fabricated from a thermoplastic material.
- the load being carried primarily by the retaining portion helps prevent accidental disengagement of the member merely by the presence of the load. This allows the member to be fabricated from plastic saving cost and weight.
- the present invention may achieve the proper balance between strength, cost, appearance, and durability.

Abstract
Description
- This application relates generally to retaining assemblies and particularly to retaining assemblies for attaching a strap to an item of luggage.
- Retaining assemblies serve a variety of functions. They can be used for attaching a set of keys to a belt buckle, for example, or may be used to hold a device such as a whistle, or may be used to attach a strap to an item of luggage. Many retaining assemblies include a generally J-shaped portion, and an additional portion to complete the “circle.” The additional portion typically communicates with a spring that keeps the additional portion pressed against the end of the J-shaped portion, unless a force is applied on a protrusion attached to the additional portion to overcome the spring force. In order to keep the additional portion in contact with the end of the J-shaped portion, a relatively stiff spring is chosen. Thus, depending on the application, the amount of force to be applied to the protrusion necessary to overcome the spring is high.
- In some other arrangements, the entire J-shaped portion slides linearly in order to engage and disengage. In this manner, an item can be placed on the retaining assembly when the J-shaped portion is in an open position. When the user presses on the J-shaped portion, the user slides it manually into a closed position, retaining whatever item has been placed on the retaining assembly. A user typically presses a release button, and the J-shaped portion is released by a mechanism that includes a spring pushing it linearly outward. Such devices are typically fabricated from plastic, and thus are susceptible to fracture under heavy loading. In addition, since the J-shaped member is the harnessing feature as well as the sliding feature, under loading, the J-shaped member tends to separate from the rest of the assembly and the retaining assembly may disengage from whatever item it was attached to.
- One of the objects of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned problems and deficiencies.
- For example, in one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a retaining assembly includes a first portion adapted to be attached to a strap; a second portion capable of being secured to the first portion, the second portion including a retaining portion capable of cooperating with a harnessing post; and a member capable of sliding over the retaining portion and cooperating with the second portion in a plurality of positions; wherein, when the member is in a first position, the combination of the retaining portion and the member is capable of retaining the harnessing post.
- In this embodiment, the load is predominately carried by the retaining portion of the second portion, which may be fabricated from a stronger material than the member. In a preferred arrangement, the second portion is fabricated from a metallic material and the member is fabricated from a thermoplastic material. The load being carried primarily by the retaining portion helps prevent accidental disengagement of the member merely by the presence of the load. This allows the member to be fabricated from plastic saving cost and weight. Thus, the present invention may achieve the proper balance between strength, cost, appearance, and durability.

A user may slide the retainingassembly 100 over a harnessingpost 700 while the latchingmember 300 is in the open position as shown. The user may then press on the latchingmember 300 in the direction of the arrow 600. The latching member will act against the locatingspring 602 and should be pressed down until theretaining section 310 engages the retaininglatch 406 of therelease lever 400. The retainingassembly 100 may include atorsion spring 604 to keep the retaininglatch 406 positioned such that it will engage theretaining section 310. -
FIG. 10 depicts the retaining assembly in the closed position (the coveringmember 500 is shown in this view). -
FIG. 11 depicts a harnessingpost 700 suitable for use with the retaining assembly ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 12 depicts a side view of the harnessing post ofFIG. 11 . - The foregoing merely illustrates the principles of the invention.
