Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to buckles for connecting together webs and straps that are deployed in many disparate applications including the securing the two ends of a belt together, the closure of backpacks and other bags and sacks, and the fastening of vests, jackets, and other garments.
  • One well known buckle often called a side release buckle, comprises two parts securable to respective web straps, one of the parts (the tang part) consists of a pair of prongs, each having an outwardly extending prong end and the other part (the housing part) having a channel into which the prongs can be pushed.
  • the width of the channel is smaller than the distance between the outsides of the prongs and so, as the tang part is pushed into the channel, the prongs are flexed inwardly by the outer walls of the channel.
  • the walls include a pair of openings into which the prong ends can snap when the tang part has been inserted into the channel. The engagement of the prong ends in the channel wall openings retains the two parts together.
  • the prong ends are pinched to move towards each other thereby releasing the prong ends from the openings and allowing the tang part to be withdrawn from the housing part.
  • a quick release buckle that has two portions which can be releasably secured to one another.
  • the quick release buckle comprises an entry portion and a housing portion.
  • Each of the housing and entry portions may optionally be connected to a respective structure such as, e.g. a strap, belt, cord, chain, tether, or other item, and the quick release buckle can then be beneficially deployed to releasably couple the respective structures connected to the entry and housing portions to one another.
  • a quick release buckle including a tang element, the tang element being connectable to a strap or other structure, a housing element, the housing element being connectable to a strap or other structure, the tang element having a portion that is selectively disposable in the housing element via a movement of the portion of the tang element and the housing element relatively toward one another in an insertion direction, whereupon the tang element and the housing element engage one another following a predetermined movement thereof in the insertion direction to thereby place the buckle in a locked disposition, a mechanism for effecting a positive lock of the tang element in the housing element, the mechanism being operable to release the tang element from a positive lock condition via a movement of the mechanism, and an element configured to be contacted by the user to release the buckle from its locked disposition, this element being operable to apply a release force to the mechanism for effecting a positive lock of the tang element in the housing element to effect the release of the tang platform from the housing element in a manner such that the user
  • the element configured to be contacted by the user to release the buckle from its locked disposition may include a sliding element.
  • the quick release buckle may include a pair of yokes that retain the sliding element for sliding movement of the sliding element while retained by the yokes.
  • the quick release buckle may include a bar hingedly attached to the housing element and movable about a hinge axis and the tang element may include a pair of tang arms and each tang ami includes a raised catch element.
  • the tang anus can optionally each have an eyelet formed at its free end and extending in a direction opposite to the raised direction of the raised catch elements, a back wall of the housing may have two tunnel bores, and each of these tunnel bores can guide a wire that is connected at one end to an eyelet of a respective one of the tang arms and connected at an opposite end to a toggle.
  • the tang element may be formed of a plastic material or a metal material.
  • This invention allows a secure single or multiple tang buckle to be opened easily and securely with the press of a single digit. Even when wearing gloves or operating in cold and dark conditions where dexterity will be reduced, a user can open the buckle easily using a light touch with one finger or thumb.
  • the inventive buckle can be advantageously deployed for a range closure applications including closure applications for apparel worn by very young, elderly or disabled persons who may have weak or reduced hand grip strength and ranging to applications where ease and speed of release provide real benefits in work and recreational activities.
  • the inventive buckle is able to be opened with just one finger due to the unique design and orientation of the tangs and release mechanism within the buckle.
  • the inventive buckle In contrast to side release clips which rely on opposing motions of their tangs to effect release, the inventive buckle allows the tangs to move in the same direction and, when the tangs clear the grip surface, the buckle is opened.
  • One configuration of the inventive buckle is openable with a single respective finger while the user nonetheless does not directly touch the tangs with the respective one finger - instead, the tangs are depressed with a release bar or button mechanism that ensure a smooth, uniform and effective release of the tangs when the buckle is opened.
  • the quick release buckle of the present invention is illustrated in the following Figures of the Drawings 1 - 6, 7A, 7B, and 8 - 13.
  • a quick release buckle can be optionally configured such that an insertion operation of the entry and housing portions to place the quick release buckle in its locked position results in a sound that is audible at a selected minimum and/or maximum spacing from the quick release buckle and this sound can be relied upon to confirm that the quick release buckle is locked.
  • the entry portion is in the form of an entry element 110 and the entry element 110 includes a tang platform 112 and a strap connecting component 114.
  • the tang platform 112 is comprised of a pair of tang arms each having one end fixedly mounted to a vertical back plate and a horizontal base plate on which the vertical back plate is mounted. Each of the tang arms includes a free end portion having a raised catch element RCE.
  • the housing portion is in the form of a housing element 116 and includes a back wall
  • the various walls of the housing element 116 delimit an interior volume dimensioned with respect to the tang platform 112 of the entry element 110, in a manner to be described in more detail, such that the tang platform 112 is received within the interior volume delimited within the housing element 116 in a lock position of the quick release buckle.
  • the description of the entry element 110 and the housing element 116 will be provided with reference to a three axis reference system comprised of a height axis HA, a longitudinal axis LA at ninety (90) degrees to the height axis HA, and a lateral axis ATA at ninety (90) degrees to both the height axis HA and the longitudinal axis LA.
  • the housing element 116 also includes a pair of cut-outs 132 formed in the ceiling wall 126 and positioned in correspondence with the tang platform 112 such that each of the cut-outs 132 in the ceiling wall 126 is operable to receive a respective one of the raised catch elements at the free end of a respective one of the tang arms of the tang platform 112 when the tang platform 112 is disposed in its fully inserted disposition within the housing element 116.
  • Figure 2 which is an exploded perspective view of a portion of the quick release buckle shown in Figure 1 taken along line ll-ll
  • each cut-out 132 in the ceiling wall 126 of the housing element 116 is configured in correspondence with the raised catch element RCE at the free end portion of a respective tang arm of the tang platform 112.
  • each of the raised catch elements on the free end portions of the tang arms of the tang platform 112 are in registry with, and received in, the pair of cut-outs in the ceiling wall 126 of the housing element 116, whereupon this interconnection resists withdrawal of the tang platform 112 from the housing element 116.

  • the housing element 116 is provided with a pair of guiderails 134 each disposed at a slight spacing above the floor 124 and extending from a respective one of the left hand side wall 120 and the right hand side wall 128.
  • the pair of guide rails 134 are disposed at a height such that the base plate of the tang platform 112 can be slid between the bottom surfaces of these guiderails 134 and the floor 124 during insertion of the tang platform 112 into the housing element 116, whereupon the insertion movement is facilitated in a stable guided manner.
  • the guiderails 134 provides stability to the inserted tang platform 112 in its fully inserted disposition in the housing element 116.
  • the entry element 110 may be formed, for example, of a suitable plastic material, a metal material, a combination of a metal and plastic material, or any other suitable material.
  • the entry element 110 is configured to be inserted through the slot 130 of the housing element 116 along a lock insertion axis LO- IX, whereupon the insertion of the entry element 110 through the slot 130 is performed in a series of steps comprising a step of orienting the tang platform 112 of the entry element 110 such that the longitudinal dimension of the tang platform 112 is parallel to the longitudinal dimension of the slot 130 and a step of advancing the entry element 110 in the quick release buckle insertion direction LO-IX such that the tang platform 112 moves inwardly into the housing element 116 laterally beyond the front slot wall 122, with the insertion of the tang platform 112 ceasing once the raised catch elements RCE of the tang arms of the tang platform 112 have been engaged by the pair of cutouts 132 in the ceiling 126 of the housing element 116.
  • Figure 5 shows the tang platform 112 at an intermediate position as it is being inserted into the housing element 116, whereupon the ceiling 126 of the housing element 116 depresses the tang arms against their natural bias and the base plate of the tang platform 112 is received between the guiderails 134 and the floor 124 of the housing element 116.
  • the quick release buckle advantageously permits a user to conveniently and reliably release the tang platform 112 from the housing element 116, even if the user is wearing gloves or otherwise has a covering on the user's fingers or hand that reduce tactile sensation.
  • the quick release buckle is particularly advantageous for a "blind" release of the interlocked housing element 116 and the tang platform 112, in that the user need only locate the raised catch elements of the tang arms in their received dispositions in the pair of cut-outs 132 on the ceiling 126 of the housing element 116 in order to initiate the disengagement process and this can be done without the user receiving visual confirmation that the user's fingers have located the raised catch elements RCE.
  • the quick release buckle can provide fast, silent, or one touch release of the quick release buckle.
  • the raised catch elements on the free end portions of the tang arms of the tang platform 112 can be configured with "V" shapes, can be formed of a different color than the color of the housing element 116, and/or may be formed of a reflective material to facilitate safety or identification of the quick release buckle.
  • the buckle can be configured such that all of the tang arms of the tang platform - which have been shown and described solely for the purpose of illustration as comprising two tang arms - are secured in the locked position of the buckle in an easily accessible area of the housing element.
  • the tang arms of the tang platform 112 are received in the ceiling 126 of the housing element 116 and this portion of the housing element is easily accessible by a user in connection with releasing the buckle from its locked disposition.
  • a user can conveniently and readily open the buckle with merely a single finger in that the user can apply pressure with a single finger on the raised catch elements RCE of the pair of tang arms of the tang platform 112 to push the raised catch elements RCE inwardly toward the interior of the housing element 116 until both raised catch elements RCE have been moved out of registry with the cut-outs 132 in the ceiling 126 of the housing element 116.
  • this convenient configuration may be especially beneficial in some applications such as, for example, body armor shoulder straps or buckles for back pack components such as sternum straps, whereupon the buckle permits an immediate buckle release using a single finger depress action or by using very gross motor skills, including a release action even while the user is wearing gloves.
  • the quick release buckle also advantageously offers a relatively long useful life.
  • the tang arms are exposed on the top and bottom surface of the clip - if one of these tang arms becomes damaged or broken, the clip will not lock and its utility is lost.
  • the housing element 1 16 of the quick release buckle can alternatively be configured as a vented box shape with appropriately located vents operable to permit ready flushing or discharge any dirt or debris build up that might prevent reliable closure of the quick release buckle.
  • the quick release buckle can also be configured as a toggle pull quick release buckle or clip and this version of the quick release buckle is illustrated in Figure 6.
  • the quick release buckle shown in Figure 6 comprises the same or equivalent components as the version of the quick release buckle shown and described with respect to Figures 1- 5, with the differences that, in this alternate version of the quick release buckle, the tang arms each have an eyelet formed at its free end and extending in a direction opposite to the raised direction of the raised catch elements RCE, the vertical back wall of the tang platform 112 has two tunnel bores, each of these tunnel bores guides a wire that is connected at one end to an eyelet of a respective one of the tang arms and connected at an opposite end to a toggle.
  • this alternate version of the quick release buckle permits a user to conveniently and readily effect an immediate release of the buckle using a single pull motion, which can be accomplished using very gross motor skills, including a release action even while the user is wearing gloves.
  • Figure 6 is also shown as having a feature to facilitate the full and complete seating of the tang platform 112 in the housing element 116 in that the end portions of each of the guide rails 134 of the housing element 116 extend arcuately inwardly and the tang platform 1 12 is formed with a pair of correspondingly configured arcuate bumpers configured to contact the arcuate end portions of the guide rails 134.
  • this toggle release feature can be configured to offer a highly convenient "release and forget" release system that will reset automatically and be ready for the next use.
