' FASTENING DEVICE Filed Nov. 29, 1954 I I \NVENTQR HAROLD SJVAN BuR'a'N-JR.
BYWJW ATTORNEY- United States Patent FASTENING DEVICE Harold S. Van Buren, Jr., Cambridge, Mass., assignor, by
mesne assignments, to United-Carr Fastener Corporation, Boston, Mass., a corporation of Delaware Application November 29, 1954, Serial No. 471,637
1 Claim. (Cl. 24-3) This invention relates generally to fastening devices, and has particular reference to a fastener for releasably securing a device to a support such as a belt or the like.
Various items of military equipment such as ammunition pouches and the like are designed to be supported from a relatively wide web belt. The means used for securing the article to the belt should enable it to be easily detachable, yet should be secured thereto so that it cannot be released accidentally and should not be rendered inoperable by the presence of mud or the like.
The object of the invention is to provide a fastening device for the above purpose in which a belt receiving portion and a slide portion cooperate to retain a web belt therebetween.
A further object of the invention is to provide a fastening device for the above purpose in which the belt receiving portion has means spaced from the back portion for frictionally engaging said slide.
Other objects of the invention will, in part, be obvious, and will, in part, appear hereinafter.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a view in side elevation partly in section of a fastening device embodying the features of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a view of the device of Fig. 1 as seen from the left side, with portions of the device broken away;
Fig. 3 is a view in side elevation of the fastening device of Fig. l assembled onto a device to be supported with the slide in the open position;
Fig. 4 is a view in section taken on line 4--4 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a view of the assembly of Fig. 3 as seen from the left side; and
Fig. 6 is a view in side elevation of the assembly of Fig. 3 assembled onto a belt.
Referring to the drawing, there is illustrated a fastening device 10, which is adapted for assembly onto an article 12 which may be an ammunition pouch or the like to enable the device to be supported from a belt 13.
The fastening device comprises generally a body portion 14, and a slide portion 16, each formed of a flat strip of sheet metal bent into suitable shape.
The body portion 14 comprises a back portion 18, an outwardly extending portion 20 at one end, a slide stop member 22 extending from the other end, and a slide retaining arm 24 extending from the portion 20 in spaced relation to the back toward the slide stop 22 and terminating in spaced relation thereto. The retaining arm 24 has an outer portion 26 extending to a bight portion 28 which is spaced from the stop member to form an entrance 30 to the space between the arm 24 and the back 18, and is then turned back alongside itself to terminate in a free end portion 32.
2,823,434 Patented Feb. 18, 1958 To receive the slide 16, an aperture 34 is provided in the bight portion 28 and an aperture 36 is provided in the outwardly extending portion 20 so that the slide 16 may be disposed between the arm portions 26 and 32 to be frictionally gripped thereby, yet is movable longitudinally therein to open and close the entrance 30.
To provide means for retaining the slide in the open and closed positions, an embossment 38 is provided on the slide and apertures 40 and 42 are provided in the free end portion to receive the embossment in snapping engagement. The aperture 42, positioned to receive the embossment 38 when the slide is in the closed position, is provided with a camming surface 44 on the side away from the entrance to enable the slide to be moved into the open position by causing the free end portion 32 to flex away from the portion 26 to enable the embossment to snap into the other aperture 40.
The aperture 40 has no camming edge, hence the em bossment cannot accidentally snap past the aperture 40.
The stop member 22 comprises an upper portion 46 having a slide receiving aperture 48 and a reversely bent portion 50 spaced below the aperture 48 so that the end of the slide, when in the closed position, is disposed in the aperture 48 to prevent lateral movement of the end of the slide.
The fastener 10 may be assembled onto the article 12 in any convenient manner, such as by passing it through a retaining band 52 sewed onto the article. The assembly may then be secured to the belt 13 by inserting the belt through the entrance 30 and closing the slide.
Although in the illustrated embodiment the fastener is initially secured to the device to be supported in some cases it may be first secured to the belt if desired.
Since certain Obvious modifications may be made in the device without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained herein be interpreted in an illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
I claim:
A fastening device for securing an article to a support, comprising a flat strip of material bent to provide a back, a slide-carrying arm spaced forwardly from the back and joined thereto at one end, and a slide-end-receiving arm extending forwardly from the other end of the back into alignment with and spaced from the slidecarrying arm, a slide member formed of a flat strip of material disposed against the slide-carrying arm, said slide being movable longitudinally to open and close the space between the slide-carrying arm and the slide end receiving arm and retainer means associated with said slide-carrying arm having means frictionally gripping the side of said slide member opposite the slide-carrying arm so that the slide is disposed flatwise therebetween, said slide having means cooperating with said retainer to limit the longitudinal movement of said slide in the open and the closed positions, said slide-end-receiving arm having an aperture receiving the end of said slide when said slide is in the closed position.
