STORAGE RING WITH INTEGRAL CLOSURE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to storage rings and to novel closures. More particularly. the present invention is concerned with a novel quick release closure which may be utilized to join the ends of a Ilexible ring or the like to each other.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a split ring of snythetic plastic material which has an integral closure comprised of a socket at one end of the ring and a plug at the other end of the ring which may be secured within the socket to form a closed ring. The integral closure is inexpensive and may be readily opened so that the plug and socket members may be pulled apart. for example. in order to add or remove articles from the ring.
The storage ring has numerous uses, for example. one presently preferred use is to store flag belt equipment utilized in playing flag football which equipment is of the type disclosed in my U.Sv Pat. No. 2,966,356. Another preferred use of the invention is to store combination locks in numerical sequence.
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a novel. inexpensive storage ring and associated closure to permit ready opening of the storage ring.
Another principal object of the invention is to provide a novel closure for securing two members together which closure is integral with the members.
The above and other objects. features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent as this description proceeds.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. I is a perspective view of a presently preferred embodiment of the invention showing the storage ring in its closed position with a pair of belt elements stored thereon.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the storage ring per se showing the integral closure in an open position.
FIG. 3 is an end view of the socket member of the closure showing a locking member extending through the socket.
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 showing the locking member rotated to another orientation.
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 showing the locking member moved in the direction ofthe arrow, i.e.. to the right.
FIG. 6 is a view showing the socket and plug portions of the closure disposed as in FIG. 2 but on an enlarged scale.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring now to the drawings. reference numeral I0 generally designates a storage ring in accordance with a presently preferred embodiment of the invention. The ring is actually a split ring made of a material such as a synthetic plastic which allows a plug I2 at one end of the ring to be inserted into and removed from an integral socket 14 at the other end of the ring as will be appreciated from the illustration in FIG. 2 which shows the plug and socket spaced from each other in an open position.
When the closure is opened as in FIG. 2. articles to be stored such as a pair of belts I6 (FIG. I) may be placed onto the belt by passing the plug I2 through holes in the belts 16.
As best seen in FIG. 6, plug I2 has a pair of opposed lips I8. 20 which are spaced from each other to define a narrow slot which leads to an enlarged arcuate recess 22 within the plug. The lips I8 and 20 are made of a plastic material or the like and have limited flexibility towards and away from each other when pressure is applied to the lips.
In order to close the ring. plug I2 is inserted into an axial bore 24 in socket 14. The outer surfaces of lips 18 and 20 are curved to facilitate this insertion.
A locking rod 26 extends transversely through socket 14. The portion of locking rod occupying most of the distance across bore 24 is of a generally rectangular configuration having narrow sides 28 and wider sides 30. Since the remainder of the locking rod is cylindrical. it may be rotated by handle 32.
When the handle 32 is disposed vertically as seen in FIGS. 2, 3 and 6, that is. at right angles to the central axis of bore 24; the locking rod is oriented so that one of the smaller sides 28 is facing the opening into bore 24 as seen in FIG. 3. With the locking rod in this orientation, when plug I2 is inserted into bore 24. the lips I8 and 20 maybe forced past the locking rod 26. When lips I8, 20 are forced past the locking rod. the locking rod is received within the enlarged recess 22. Recess 24 has a diameter somewhat larger than the width of sides 30 of the locking rod.
In order to restrain plug 12 within socket I4. handle 32 is now rotated through so that one of the wider sides 30 of the central portion of the locking rod faces the opening to bore 24. This orientation of the locking rod is illustrated in FIG. 4 in which for the sake of clarity plug I2 is not shown. Since the width of side 30 is greater than the distance between lips [23 and 20. inadvertent removal of plug 12 from the socket is prevented.
The length of the locking rod between handle 32 at one end and a retainer such as a spring clip 34 on the other end permits limited reciprocating movement of the locking rod. In order to prevent rotation of locking rod 26 out of the position in which it secures plug 12 in the socket; handle 32 is depressed pushing the locking rod to the right from the FIG. 4 position to the FIG. 5 position at which point a small latch member or detent 36 on handle 32 is seated within an aperture 38 in the outer wall of socket 14. With the latch member 36 seated in recess 38, the locking rod 26 cannot be rotated to the FIG. 3 position. that is, a position in which the smaller side 28 is in alignment with the slot between lips I8. 20. Accordingly. inadvertent movement of handle 32 to a position in which the plug 12 may be disengaged from the socket is prevented.
When it is desired to open the ring, the locking rod 26 is moved in the opposite direction back to the FIG. 4 position whereupon the rod may be rotated to the FIG. 3 position which allows the plug to be withdrawn from the socket.
While a presently preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown and described with particularity. it will be appreciated that the invention is susccptible of many modifications which may readily suggest themselves to those of ordinary skill in the art upon being apprised of the present invention. For example. the storage member could take other configurations than that of a ring. other objects in lieu of the belts l6 might be stored upon the ring. and in some applications the ring might find utility for other purposes than storing articles. Accordingly. it is intended to encompass all such changes and modifications as fall within the scope and spirit of the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. Apparatus comprising a unitary flexible member having first and second ends and closure means detachahly connecting said ends said closure means comprising a hollow socket on one of said ends and a plug on the other of said ends, said plug having a pair of lips delining a narrow slot, an enlarged recess provided in said plug in communication with said slot. said socket having a bore for the reception of said plug. a locking rod extending transversely across said bore and in one position thereof being configured to pass through said slot into said recess in said plug means to enable rotation of said locking rod to a position preventing removal of said rod from said recess, said locking rod extending outwardly from two sides of the exterior periphery of said socket. whereby said locking rod can move perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bore in said socket to a position preventing rotation of said locking rod. and a latch to maintain said locking rod in said position preventing rotation of said locking rod 2.
