Benefits of technology

[0005]One objective of the present invention is to provide a quick release strap connector to attach and remove a strap from an electronic device quickly and easily.
[0006]A quick release strap connector in accordance with the present invention connects a strap detachably to an electronic device and comprises a cylinder, a knob, a latch bar and a spring. The cylinder is hollow, holds a strap and has an open end, a closed end and a sidewall. The knob is mounted rotatably against the open end of the cylinder. The latch bar is attached to the knob, is mounted through and protrudes from the cylinder and has a latch. The latch is mounted in a slot in the electronic device and rotated to attach the connector to the electronic device. The spring is mounted around the latch bar between the closed end of the cylinder and the knob and holds the latch in the slot in the electronic device. The present invention will allow someone to attach or remove the strap from the electronic device quickly and easily, which makes using the strap more convenient.

Problems solved by technology

However, the straps are usually fastened to the electronic products and cannot be removed easily.
When electronic products with carrying straps are used on a plane or being used anywhere, the straps are usually unnecessary.
The unnecessary straps are inconvenient and sometimes interfer with using the electronic products.
