Abstract
A side release buckle includes a female buckle member that has two female coupling arms each with a forwardly extending coupling hole and a side opening, and a male buckle member that has two spring arms and two male coupling arms respectively supported on the spring arms and insertable with the spring arms into the coupling holes of the female coupling arms for engagement with the side openings of the female coupling arms. The female coupling arms are elastically outwardly deformable to lower the insertion force of the male buckle member. Disengaging the male coupling arms from the female coupling arms does not cause the female coupling arms to deform elastically outwards, and therefore a high deplugging force is required. An adapter may be provided to secure the female buckle member to an external object.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to buckles and more particularly, to a side release buckle, which has the characteristics of low insertion (plugging) force and high extraction (deplugging) force.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Various different buckles are known for different purposes. Conventional buckles are commonly formed of a male buckle member and a female buckle member, and intensively used in shoes, clothes, backpacks, travel bags, shoulder bags, helmets, bicycle attachments, safety belts of baby trolleys, etc., to join belt members or to adjust the tension of a strap member. Different buckles have different engagement structures and provide different functions for different purposes.
- Further, following the application of the system of two days off per week, sports recreation and leisure activities have become a hot trend. People may participate in bicycle riding, mounting climbing or fishing activities during the weekend. Further, a bicycle may be provided with a rack for carrying a container (water bottle, tool box or storage box).
FIGS. 9 and 10 show two different container rack mounting structures. According to the design shown inFIG. 9 , the container rack is a bottle rack made out of a metal wire rod and affixed to a bicycle frame with screws. According to the design shown inFIG. 10 , the container rack is a bottle rack made out of a metal wire rod and fastened to a bicycle frame with a clamping assembly. - The aforesaid two bottle rack mounting designs have drawbacks as follows:
- 1. The installation of the aforesaid two bottle rack mounting designs requires a hand tool. According to the design shown in
FIG. 9 , a metal mounting plate is welded to the bottle rack for the mounting of screws to affix the bottle rack to a bicycle frame. The processing process and mounting procedure of the aforesaid two bottle rack mounting designs are complicated, resulting in a high mounting cost. - 2. After installation, the two bottle rack mounting structures are not detachable from the respective bicycle frames when not in use, and the storage items may be stolen by an evil person. Further, the empty bottle rack mounting structure destructs the sense of beauty of the bicycle.
- 3. The holding size of each of the aforesaid two container rack mounting structures is not adjustable. The container (bottle) may fall from the rack if the size does not match.
- The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present invention to provide a side release buckle, which has the characteristics of low insertion (plugging) force and high extraction (deplugging) force.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, the side release buckle comprises a male buckle member and a female buckle member. The female buckle member comprises two female coupling arms respectively extended from two distal ends of a female buckle base thereof in a parallel manner and spaced by a space. Each female coupling arm has a forwardly extending coupling hole and a side opening. The male buckle member comprises two forwardly extending spring arms, and two male coupling arms respectively forwardly extending from the spring arms and insertable with the spring arms into the coupling holes of the female coupling arms for engagement with the side openings of the female coupling arms. The two female coupling arms are elastically outwardly deformation upon insertion of the male coupling arms and the spring arms of the male buckle member, thereby lowering the insertion (plugging) force. When disconnecting the male buckle member from the female buckle member, the female coupling arms do not deform outwards, and therefore a high extraction (deplugging) force is required.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, the side release buckle further comprises an adapter member. The adapter member may be formed integral with or detachably connectable to an object. The adapter member comprises an adapter base that is inserted into the space between the female coupling arms of the female buckle member before insertion of the male buckle member into the female buckle member, and two sleeves provided at two sides of the adapter base and respectively sleeved onto the female coupling arms of the female buckle member.

FIGS. 1 and 2 , a side release buckle in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention is shown comprising afemale buckle member 1 and amale buckle member 2. - The
female buckle member 1 has afemale buckle base 11, and twofemale coupling arms 12 respectively extended from the two distal ends of thefemale buckle base 11 in one direction in a substantially parallel manner and defining therebetween aspace 10. Thefemale buckle base 11 has aninsertion slot 111 cut therethrough for the mounting of a belt member (not shown). Thefemale coupling arms 12 each have a retainingportion 101 protruded from the periphery and facing thespace 10, afree end 123, acoupling hole 120 axially extending through thefree end 123, a side opening 121 cut through the periphery at an outer side opposite to thespace 10, astop edge 1211 at the front side of the side opening 121 that is remote from thefemale buckle base 11 and relatively closer to thefree end 123 of the respectivefemale coupling arm 12, and asliding groove 122 cut through the periphery and axially extending through thefree end 123 at the inner side in communication between thespace 10 and thecoupling hole 120. - The
male buckle member 2 has amale buckle base 21, and acoupling structure 22 for securing themale buckle base 21 to thefemale buckle member 1. Themale buckle base 21 has aninsertion slot 211 cut therethrough for the mounting of a belt member (not shown). Thecoupling structure 22 comprises twomale coupling arms 222, and twospring arms 221 respectively connected between themale coupling arms 222 and the two distal ends of themale buckle base 21. Thespring arms 221 each have a slidingrail 2211 longitudinally disposed at an inner side and defining abeveled guide face 2212, apositioning portion 2213 at the rear side of thebeveled guide face 2212, a Ω-shapedbuffer arm portion 2215 connected between the associatingmale coupling arm 222 and themale buckle base 21 at an outer side, and abuffer space 2214 defined between the slidingrail 2211 and the Ω-shapedbuffer arm portion 2215. Themale coupling arms 222 each have an outer slopingface 2221 extending outwardly backwards toward the Ω-shapedbuffer arm portion 2215 of the associatingspring arm 221, and astop edge 2222 connected between theouter sloping face 2221 and the Ω-shapedbuffer arm portion 2215 of the associatingspring arm 221. - Referring to
FIGS. 2˜5 , during installation, themale coupling arms 222 of thecoupling structure 22 of themale buckle member 2 are respectively inserted into thecoupling holes 120 of thefemale coupling arms 12 of thefemale buckle member 1. When inserting themale coupling arms 222 into thecoupling holes 120, the outer sloping faces 2221 of themale coupling arms 222 are moved over the respective inside walls of thefemale coupling arms 12, causing themale coupling arms 222 to be forced inwards toward each other. During forward movement of the twospring arms 221 of themale buckle member 2 relative to thefemale buckle member 1, thebeveled guide face 2212 and thepositioning portion 2213 of thespring arms 221 are also forced inwards toward the center of themale buckle member 2, and thebuffer arm portions 2215 and thebuffer spaces 2214 allow deformation of thespring arms 221 without damage, lowering the insertion force. When continuously forcing themale buckle member 2 forwards toward the inside of thefemale buckle member 1, the slidingrails 2211 are respectively moved into thesliding grooves 122 of thefemale coupling arms 12 in the position where thestop edges 2222 of themale coupling arms 222 are respectively forced into theside openings 121 of thefemale coupling arms 12 and stopped at thestop edges 1211 of thefemale coupling arms 12 to prohibit backward displacement of themale buckle member 2 relative to thefemale buckle member 1. - When inserting the
male buckle member 2 into thefemale buckle member 1, the twofemale coupling arms 12 of thefemale buckle member 1 are elastically deformed and curved outwards to lower the insertion force of themale buckle member 2, facilitating installation. When wishing to separate themale buckle member 2 from thefemale buckle member 1, squeeze themale coupling arms 222 of thecoupling structure 22 to disengage thestop edges 2222 of themale coupling arms 222 from thestop edges 1211 of thefemale coupling arms 12, allowing themale coupling arms 222 to be moved out of thecoupling holes 120 of thefemale coupling arms 12. Because thefemale coupling arms 12 are not curved outwards, much pressure must be applied to themale coupling arms 222 of thecoupling structure 22 to disengage the stop edges 2222 of themale coupling arms 222 from the stop edges 1211 of thefemale coupling arms 12. Therefore, the invention has the advantage of low insertion (plugging) force and high extraction (deplugging) force. - Referring to
FIG. 2 again, thefemale buckle base 11 and thefemale coupling arms 12 of thefemale buckle member 1 may be respectively provided with a mountingleg 124 at the bottom side for fastening to a respective mounting through hole on a rod member, medical box, tool box or any container (not shown). - Further, sloping reinforcing
ribs 1212 may be provided inside the coupling holes 120 of thefemale coupling arms 12 adjacent to thefemale buckle base 11 to reinforce the structural strength of thefemale coupling arms 12 without interfering with insertion of themale coupling arms 222 of themale buckle member 2, thereby shortening the elastic deformation range of thefemale coupling arms 12 and preventing permanent deformation of thefemale coupling arms 12 after plugging and deplugging several times or upon an overpressure. -
FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate a side release buckle in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention. This second embodiment is substantially similar to the aforesaid first embodiment with the exception that this second embodiment further comprises an adapter member 3 for securing thefemale buckle member 1 and themale buckle member 2 to an external object (not shown). The adapter member 3 may be fixedly provided at an object for securing the object to thefemale buckle member 1 and themale buckle member 2. - The adapter member 3 comprises an
adapter base 31 and retaining means, for example, twosleeves 311 at two sides of theadapter base 31. Thesleeves 311 each have a longitudinal throughhole 3111 extending through the two distal ends for receiving thefemale coupling arms 12 of thefemale buckle member 1 respectively, and aside opening 3112 corresponding to theside openings 121 of thefemale coupling arms 12 respectively. -
FIG. 8 is an exploded view of a side release buckle in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention. This third embodiment is substantially similar to the aforesaid second embodiment with the exception that the adapter member 3 of this third embodiment has acoupling device 32 formed integral with theadapter base 31 for securing a rod member. Thecoupling device 32 is a substantially U-shaped clamping plate, having acoupling groove 321 extending through its length and two beveled guide faces 322 bilaterally disposed above thecoupling groove 321 for guiding a rod member into engagement with thecoupling groove 321. - By means of the
coupling device 32 of the adapter member 3, themale buckle member 1 and thefemale buckle member 2 are easily detachably connectable to a rod member, hook, belt or loop-like member of an article. - As stated above, the invention provides a side release buckle formed of a
male buckle member 2 and afemale buckle member 1. Thefemale buckle member 1 comprises afemale buckle base 11 and twofemale coupling arms 12 extending from thefemale buckle base 11 in a substantially parallel manner. The twofemale coupling arms 12 are spaced by aspace 10, each having an axially extendingcoupling hole 120. When inserting themale buckle member 2 into the coupling holes 120 of thefemale coupling arms 12, thespace 10 between thefemale coupling arms 12 allow elastic deformation of thefemale coupling arms 12 to lower the insertion force of themale buckle member 2. Further, in an alternate form of the present invention, an adapter member 3 is provided for securing the connectedmale buckle member 2 and thefemale buckle member 1 to an object. - Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
