Retaining straps

ADJUSTABLE STRAP FASTENER

A molded strap fastener of a generally rectangular shape includes a first cross bar for retaining therearound a looped end portion of a strap, a retainer portion disposed laterally adjacent to the cross bar and frictionally engageable with the strap end portion, and a second cross bar fixedly connected to the other strap end. The first cross bar includes a pair of diametrically opposite sharp corners and the retainer portion has a sharp corner, these sharp corners serving as stops to retain the strap in position against accidental displacement even under heavy tensioning forces. To provide a greater resistance to strap loosening, the first and second cross bars lie in different levels so that a rotational force is created upon the fastener when the latter is in actual use, said force growing greater the larger the tension and thus urging the retainer portion to firmly grip the strap end at its sharp corner. This gripping is further enhanced by the retainer portion which projects beyond ...

QUICK RELEASE BUCKLE

A quick release buckle has male and female components releasably joined in snap engagement. A release lever on the female component provides a means of disengaging the components. The release lever may be actuated either by pulling on a lanyard cord to which it is connected, or by accessing a lift tab projecting from its forward end.

QUICK CONNECT/RELEASE/ADJUST BUCKLE

The function of this buckle used in concert with hook and loop material (ie VELCRO) is to provide an economical quick connect, quick re-adjust and quick release feature when fastening two items to each other particularly when a cinching (leveraged pressure ) feature is required. This buckle avoids threading the end of the strap through an opening which is typical of many types of conventional box rings when the cinching feature is required for more strength. This buckle used with hook and loop material can also be used to replace the existing plastic, two part, bulky and expensive quick connect strap connector.

ЧЕТЫРЁХЩЕЛЕВАЯ ПРЯЖКА

Изобретение относится к фурнитуре для поясных ремней, а конкретнее к пряжкам. Цель изобретения: создание пряжки, надежно держащейся на конце ремня в незастегнутом состоянии, только за счет щелей, расположенных параллельно в одной плоскости, и не требующей дополнительного крепления, зазубрин или перегиба ремня. Для этой цели: четырехщелевая пряжка, являющая собой пластину с шириной параллельно расположенных в одной линии и плоскости щелей, соответствующих: у крайних - три, а у средних - две толщины пропускаемого через них ремня. Изобретение позволяет получить четырехщелевую пряжку для поясного ремня, которая надежно держится на конце ремня без дополнительного крепления или перегиба. Например, чтобы сдернуть ее с ремня, нужно приложить достаточно большое усилие (проверено экспериментально на образце), а трехщелевая пряжка, заправленная таким же образом, сдергивается с ремня практически без усилия. 1 ил.
