Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a buckle, and more particularly to a structure that makes the unbuckling operation more convenient.

Background Art

[0002] Conventional buckles, such as those disclosed in Taiwan, China Patent Nos. M368320 and M383936, are often widely used in products such as safety helmets, backpacks, waist packs, handbags, briefcases, and hiking bags. When in use, a male buckle is inserted into a female buckle so that the buckle hole of the male buckle engages with the engaging piece or engaging portion of the female buckle; when unbuckling, a pressing portion (end) of a button is pressed with a finger to disengage the engaging piece (portion) from the buckle hole. Although the unbuckling operation is indeed simple and practical, it still has the following deficiencies and needs to be improved.

[0003] 1. It only has a single operation method of pressing to unbutton. When the buckle is applied to the chin strap of a safety helmet, since the buckle is located on the side of the cheek close to the ear, the pressing portion (end) cannot be seen, and one can only grope by feeling. Not only is the operation difficult, but it may even cause other inconveniences, and it is very difficult to achieve the effect of convenient operation.

[0004] 2. If the user's hand is wearing gloves, it is easy to slip when pressing the button and the unbuckling cannot be achieved in one go.

[0005] 3. If the user's hand is painted with nail art, the nail art is easily damaged due to friction when pressing the button.

[0006] Obviously, the above problems need to be improved.

Summary of the Invention

[0007] The main objects of the present invention are: 1. To provide a buckle that makes the unbuckling operation more convenient for the user to operate. 2. To provide a buckle that can ensure the unbuckling operation is in place, avoiding hand slipping or damage to nail art, etc.

[0008] To achieve the above objects, the present invention includes: a male buckle having a buckle hole; and a female buckle composed of a base, a button, a torsion spring, and an engaging member. The button and the torsion spring are pivotally provided on the base by a pivoting assembly, and the engaging member is provided on the button and has a relatively large-diameter engaging body at the bottom end to engage with the buckle hole of the male buckle. Among them, one end of the button has a pressing end for pressing to unbutton, and the other end has a pulling portion, and the pulling portion has a pulling assembly for pulling to unbutton, making the unbuckling operation more convenient.

[0009] For the buckle as described above, the extension member has a rope engaging portion.

[0010] For the buckle as described above, the pulling assembly is a pull ring or a pull strap or a pull rope.

[0011] The buckle as described above, wherein the pulling component is a nylon webbing or a PP webbing.

[0012] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0013] 1. The unbuckling operation has two methods of "pressing" and "pulling" for the user to choose from. Obviously, it will be more convenient during the unbuckling operation.

[0014] 2. When "pulling to unbutton", it can not only avoid the problem of "slippery hands when wearing gloves", but also does not hurt the nails or nail art, which is more reassuring and safe for the user.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 simultaneously. The present invention includes:

[0028] A male buckle 1, which is generally similar to the prior art and is made of a metal material. One end has a belt body joint 11, and the other end has a buckle hole 12; and

[0029] A female buckle 2 is composed of a base 21, a button 3, a torsion spring 23 and a fastening member 24. Among them, the base 21 has a socket 211, a receiving portion 212, a pivoting assembly 213, a limiting wall 214 and a belt engaging portion 215, etc. The button 3 and the torsion spring 23 are pivotally arranged on the receiving portion 212 of the base by the pivoting assembly 213. One end of the button 3 has a pressing end 31 for pressing to unlock. The fastening member 24 can be riveted and fixed at the middle part of the button 3 by a rivet. Its bottom end has a fastening body 241 with a larger diameter, which can be engaged with the fastening hole 12 of the male buckle. However, the above structure is prior art and not a feature of the present invention, so it will not be elaborated further.

[0030] The feature of the present invention is that: the other end of the button 3 relative to the pressing end 31 has a pulling portion 4, and the pulling portion 4 has a pulling assembly 41 for pulling to unlock.

[0031] The pulling portion 4 includes: an extension member 32, which is relatively arranged at the other end of the pressing end 31 and has a cord engaging portion 321; and a pulling assembly 41, one end of which is connected to the cord engaging portion 321 of the extension member. It is made of nylon webbing or PP webbing and is a pull ring or a pull strap or a pull cord, etc., which is convenient for people to hold and pull.

[0032] When buckling, the fastening hole 12 of the male buckle and the fastening body 241 of the female buckle are engaged with each other, as Figure 4 shown; conversely, when unlocking is desired, the present invention has the following two methods for selection:

[0033] 1. Press (push down) the pressing end 31 of the button. By the lever principle, with the pivoting assembly 213 as the axis, synchronously drive the fastening member 24 to disengage the fastening body 241 from the fastening hole 12 of the male buckle, so that the male buckle 1 can be removed from the female buckle 2, as Figure 5 shown, to complete the pressing unlocking.

[0034] 2. Pull the pulling assembly 41 outwards. By the lever principle, with the pivoting assembly 213 as the axis, synchronously drive the fastening member 24 to disengage the fastening body 241 from the fastening hole 12 of the male buckle, so that the male buckle 1 can be removed from the female buckle 2, as Figure 6 shown, to achieve the purpose of pulling unlocking.

[0035] The above pulling unlocking method is more convenient when applied to the buckle on the chin strap of a safety helmet in an upright position. Because 1. the pulling assembly 41 is easier for people to find by feeling than the pressing end 31, and 2. once the pulling assembly 41 is pulled outwards and the fastening body 241 disengages from the fastening hole 12 of the male buckle, the male buckle 1 can automatically fall out of the female buckle 2 by its own gravity.
