Definitions

  • the height, i.e., the thickness, of the buckle assembly becomes considerable, involving problems of aesthetics and hydrodynamics. Furthermore, if the manoeuvring finger 11 is raised by the user too much, the consequence may be that it breaks.
  • Both of the known buckles described above with reference to Figures 1 and 2 further involve for the user inconvenient and troublesome manoeuvres in so far as they entail, in one case, a compressive force and, in the other, a tensile force applied by the user's finger against his body.
  • the anatomical fulcrum of this manoeuvre is the user's shoulder, which is evidently at some distance from the point of application of the force, and for this reason in order to overcome the elastic reaction acting on the catch, it is necessary to exert a considerable effort and in any case an unbalancing force since it involves the user's entire arm.
  • FIG. 4 is a front elevation, at a larger scale, of the buckle
  • FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view of the buckle.
  • the example that will now be described refers to the application of the buckle according to the invention to a pair of goggles for swimming, part of which is denoted by G in Figure 1. It should be noted, however, that the buckle may be likewise applied to other different pieces of equipment for practising water activities, such as protective goggles, underwater masks, flippers for swimming, knives for use by scuba divers, and also to other different pieces of equipment for sporting activities or activities of another nature .
  • the part of the goggles for swimming G, represented in Figure 3 has a flexible side appendage F, which is elastically deformable for the reasons that will be clarified in what follows. Fixed to the aforesaid side appendage F is the buckle according to the invention, designated, as a whole, by 20.
  • the fork part 26 is connected to the base 23 by means of a hinged bridge or link 30, about which the aforesaid fork part 26 is, upon assembly, made to rotate starting from the position represented in Figure 7, so that it overlaps the base 23 in such a way as to cause the support 21 to assume the configuration depicted in Figures 4-6, 8 and 9.
  • the studs 29 engage corresponding holes 31 of the base 23, and the sprung arms 27 set themselves along the lateral edges of said base 23.
  • the fork part 26 could also be formed by a piece distinct and separate from the base 23.
  • Each of the two arms 27 is integrally formed with a respective enlarged portion 32, which, as will be seen, constitutes a control button, and with a respective wedge-shaped appendage 33 protruding from the inner side of the push-button 32.
  • each push-button 32 has, on its front side, a visual indication in the form of " an arrow 34 designed to indicate the direction of its operation.
  • the buckle 20 may be completed by a protective dome or cap 42 applied by snap action or slotted onto the support 21 for protecting the area of the take-up roller 25 and by a fixing member 39 ( Figures 3 and 8) consisting of a stud inserted through the flexible appendage F of the goggles G and engaged in corresponding openings 40, 41 respectively of the lamina 22 and of the base 23 of the support 21 for fast and disengageable anchorage of the buckle to the goggles G.
  • the strap fast adjustment of which is obtained - with modalities that will be clarified in what follows — by means of the buckle 20 according to the invention, altogether corresponds to those according to the prior art described previously with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
  • the strap consists, in fact, of a ribbon or strip of elastic material 10 (rubber, silicone rubber, elastomeric material, such as thermoplastic rubber,
  • the catch 38 engages one of the serrations 8 of the strap 10.
  • the extension of the said strap 10 is, in this way, prevented, whereas, in order to shorten the strap 10 it is sufficient to apply a tensile force on its end 9.
  • this tensile force which will be conveniently applied (thanks to the presence of the flexible appendage F to which the buckle 20 is connected) in the direction indicated by the arrow B, i.e., towards the outside of the goggles G, automatic disengagement is obtained between the catch 38 and the serrations 8.
  • the lamina 22 is elastically bent, so enabling the catch 38 to jump freely over the serrations 8.
  • the total thickness of the buckle thanks to the flat conformation of all its components, can be kept at very low values, for instance in the region of 6-8 mm, with evident advantages both in hydrodynamic terms and from the aesthetic standpoint;
  • the said • manoeuvre does not compress the goggles or mask on the face to an exaggerated extent (so preventing the extremely bothersome "suction pad” effect, which instead occurs with known buckles of the type described previously, which force the user to pull the strap backwards) ;
  • the manoeuvring system of the buckle according to the invention is constituted, instead of by a pair of opposed pushbuttons, by a single push-button that can be displaced in a direction parallel to the serrations of the strap to operate a wedge-like or cam-like member having shape and dimensions such as to cause elastic deflection of the flexible lamina 22 in the way described previously.
  • the said mechanism by an appropriate interplay of forces enabled by the geometry of the ensemble, when pulled, tends to wedge itself at the base of the serrations of the strap and thus prevents it from sliding in at least two directions,' whilst in the remaining direction it is the serration that automatically raises the catch, the releasing action being obtained by raising the catch by means of one or more displaceable wedges, in a direction parallel to that of the serrations of the strap, by the opposition of the user's thumb and forefinger.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une boucle (20) compacte permettant l'ajustement rapide d'une sangle élastique (10) pourvue de dents (8), la boucle présentant une languette (38) habituellement maintenue par les dents (8) de la sangle (10). Pour libérer la languette (38), deux boutons poussoirs (32) peuvent être rapprochés l'un de l'autre dans une direction parallèle aux dents (8) afin de soulever la languette (38) et de l'éloigner ainsi des dents (8) au moyens de coins respectifs (33) grâce à une pression exercée par le pouce et l'index de l'utilisateur.
