Detailed implementation manners

[0026] The following embodiments are further explanations and supplements to the present invention and do not constitute any limitation to the present invention.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , which is the buckle 100 provided by the first embodiment of the present invention and is applied to the Molle system. The buckle 100 includes a threading structure 10, a mounting structure 20 arranged in parallel, and a bending section 40 connected between the threading structure 10 and the mounting structure 20.

[0029] Among them, the threading structure 10 is threaded through at least two adjacent Molle webbings 200. The mounting structure 20 is used to detachably cooperate with an external mating structure to realize the mounting or dismounting of an item by the Molle system. The bending section 40 is used to abut against one of the Molle webbings 200. Generally speaking, the bending section 40 is used to abut against the uppermost Molle webbing 200.

[0030] For the above-mentioned buckle 100, after the Molle webbing 200 is threaded through the threading structure 10, the bending section 40 abuts against the uppermost Molle webbing 200 to realize the mounting of the buckle 100 on the Molle webbing 200. Then, the mounting structure 20 is detachably cooperated with the external mating structure to realize the mounting or dismounting of the item. Since the mounting structure 20 and the external mating structure are in a detachable cooperation manner, the disassembly and assembly of the item can be conveniently and quickly realized, which is convenient for the user to use.

[0031] It should be noted that the threading through the Molle webbing 200 described in this embodiment refers to threading through the gap between the Molle webbing 200 and the mounting body (such as the body of a tactical vest or the body of a tactical backpack). The uppermost Molle webbing 200 refers to the one closest to the head in the direction from top to bottom when the mounting body is worn on the human body.

[0032] Exemplarily, the threading structure 10 is threaded through at least two adjacent Molle webbings 200, which can be threaded through two adjacent Molle webbings 200, three adjacent Molle webbings 200, four adjacent Molle webbings 200, or more adjacent Molle webbings 200, and is not limited herein.

[0033] It can be understood that when an item is hung on the buckle 100, the item has a downward gravity, which exerts a downward pulling force on the Molle webbing 200. Therefore, the bending section 40 is hung on the uppermost Molle webbing 200 under the action of the pulling force, thereby realizing the hanging of the entire buckle 100 on the Molle webbing 200.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the threading structure 10 and the hanging structure 20 are arranged side by side and the buckle 100 is an injection molded part, the threading structure 10, the hanging structure 20, and the bending section 40 can be formed by integral injection molding, so as to improve the overall molding efficiency by using the integral injection molding method; or they can be formed separately and then connected into one body by welding, such as by ultrasonic welding, so as to facilitate the forming of each structure.

[0035] Furthermore, when the hanging structure 20 is used to detachably cooperate with an external mating structure, the entire hanging structure 20 can be inserted into the card slot of the external mating structure to support the external mating structure; or a plug post or a plug slot extending along the side-by-side direction of the Molle webbing 200 is provided at the upper end of the hanging structure 20, and a plug slot or a plug post extending along the side-by-side direction of the Molle webbing 200 is correspondingly provided at the lower end of the external mating structure. The plug post and the plug slot are plugged and matched to realize the detachable cooperation between the external mating structure and the hanging structure 20.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 4, The buckle 100 of an embodiment of the present invention. When the buckle 100 of this embodiment is detachably mated with an external mating structure, the buckle 100 further includes at least one magnetic member 30. The magnetic member 30 is disposed on the mounting structure 20 and is used for detachably mating with the external mating structure. Correspondingly, the external mating structure is also provided with a magnetic member so as to be able to attract and disassemble with the magnetic member 30. Thus, by setting the magnetic member 30, the stability of the mating with the external mating structure can be ensured, and rapid disassembly and assembly can be carried out.

[0037] Furthermore, when the magnetic member 30 is provided on the mounting structure 20, it can be integrally injection-molded into the mounting structure 20 or adhered to the surface of the mounting structure 20, and both can achieve the effect of attracting with the external mounting structure 20.

[0038] Specifically, in order to facilitate the installation of the magnetic member 30 and ensure the magnitude of the magnetic force of the magnetic member 30 of the present application, a protrusion 23 is provided on the side of the mounting structure 20 facing away from the penetrating structure 10. The protrusion 23 is provided with a receiving groove 231, and the magnetic member 30 is disposed in the receiving groove 231. Thus, by providing the protrusion 23, not only can the installation of the magnetic member 30 be achieved, but also the magnetic member 30 can protrude from the surface of the mounting structure 20 along the thickness direction of the Molle webbing 200, so that a magnetic member 30 with a larger thickness can be provided, thereby increasing the volume of the magnetic member 30 and increasing the magnetic field strength, so as to achieve the effect of ensuring a certain attraction force.

[0039] Specifically, when the protrusion 23 is provided, in the present application, a part of the mounting structure 20 protrudes away from the penetrating structure 10 to form the protrusion 23. Thus, an opening 232 is provided on the side of the protrusion 23 facing the penetrating structure 10 to facilitate placing the magnetic member 30 into the protrusion 23. In other embodiments, the protrusion 23 can be provided on the surface of the mounting structure 20 facing away from the penetrating structure 10, and an opening is provided on the side of the protrusion 23 facing away from the penetrating structure 10, and the effect of placing the magnetic member 30 can also be achieved.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , In order to improve the practicality of the buckle 100 of the present invention, the mounting structure 20 includes a plurality of magnetic members 30. The plurality of magnetic members 30 are sequentially separated along the juxtaposed direction of the Molle webbing 200, that is, the plurality of magnetic members 30 are sequentially separated in a top-down manner, so as to have a plurality of mating points with the external mating structure and have a stronger attraction force. For example, at this time, the external mating structure can be used to place heavier items such as flashlights. Correspondingly, a plurality of protrusions 23 are provided to mount the plurality of magnetic members 30.

[0041] Or in another embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic member 30 may be provided on the mounting structure 20, so that due to the small number of magnetic members 30, the lock buckle 100 may be used to mount relatively light items, such as biscuits, dry food, etc. In this way, the user may select the lock buckle 100 with the number of mounting points of the magnetic member according to the type of the mounted item, so that the lock buckle 100 has stronger adaptability in application.

[0042] Among them, see Figure 6 The insertion structure 10 includes a hook 12, which is hooked on the Molle webbing 200 in a manner opposite to the curved section 40, that is, the curved section 40 is mounted on the Molle webbing 200 located at the top, and the hook 12 in the insertion structure 10 is hooked on the Molle webbing 200 in a manner opposite to the curved section 40, forming a clamp on the Molle webbing 200, ensuring the stability of the lock buckle 100 mounted on the Molle webbing 200, and avoiding the risk of falling off. Specifically, the hook 12 is hooked on the Molle webbing 200 in an upward manner.

[0043] Furthermore, when hooked on at least one of the Molle webbings 200, it can be one Molle webbing 200, two Molle webbings 200, three Molle webbings 200 or more Molle webbings 200 that are worn and hooked thereon. When hooked on one of the Molle webbings 200, it facilitates the installation of the lock buckle 100 on the Molle webbing 200; when hooked on multiple Molle webbings 200, it ensures the support stability of the lock buckle 100 after mounting items.

[0044] See also Figure 2 , is a structural schematic diagram of the threading structure 10 of an embodiment, the threading structure 10 includes at least one hook arranged in parallel along the extension direction of the Molle webbing, that is, the threading structure 10 may include one hook 12, may include two hooks 12 or a greater number of hooks 12, that is, when the threading structure 10 is threaded through the Molle webbing 200, the hooks 12 are threaded through each of the Molle webbings 200 in turn.

[0045] Further, when multiple hooks 12 are provided in the threading structure 10, since the Molle webbing 200 is generally arranged to fit on the installed body, in order to conveniently pass the hooks 12 through the Molle webbing 200, therefore, in this embodiment, the hooks 12 are provided as elastic hooks 12, that is, the hooks 12 can undergo elastic deformation under the pressing of an external force and can move closer to the middle direction, so as to conveniently pass through the Molle webbing 200. After passing through the Molle webbing 200, it can return to its original state under its own elastic force to hook on the Molle webbing 200, thereby facilitating the installation of the buckle 100 on the Molle webbing 200.

[0046] Specifically, this embodiment includes two hooks 12. The outer edges of the two hooks 12 are approximately the same width as each grid of the Molle webbing 200, so that a relatively wide width can be provided between the two hooks 12 to expand each grid of the Molle webbing 200 and facilitate the installation of the magnetic member 30 from the interval between the two hooks 12.

[0047] Further, by providing two hooks 12, firstly, it is not only convenient to deform under the pressing of the hand for installation in the Molle webbing 200; secondly, by providing two hooks 12, on the premise of achieving sufficient support strength, it is convenient for the formation of the buckle 100 and ensures the setting cost of the buckle 100.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 of Figure 6 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the mounting structure 20 of the embodiment of the present invention. The mounting structure 20 of this embodiment includes a mounting portion 21 and a locking tongue 22 that are sequentially connected along the juxtaposed direction of the Molle webbing 200. The mounting portion 21 is used to cooperate with an external mating structure and is located outside the Molle webbing 200. The hooks 12 are threaded through the Molle webbing 200. In this way, the mounting portion 21 is used to suspend an item. The locking tongue 22 and the hooks 12 are threaded through the Molle webbing 200. When an item is placed on the mounting portion 21, under the pulling force of the gravity of the item, it is supported by the bending section 40 to limit the detachment of the buckle 100 relative to the Molle webbing 200; since the locking tongue 22 is also threaded in the Molle webbing 200, when subjected to a pulling force in the direction away from the body, as shown by the arrow a in Figure 5 , the locking tongue 22 is blocked by the Molle webbing 200 to avoid detachment relative to the Molle webbing 200. In this way, the cooperation of the locking tongue 22 and the hooks 12 increases the stability of the buckle 100 for mounting an item on the Molle webbing 200.

[0049] Understandably, the mounting structure 20 of this embodiment can elastically deform relative to the penetrating structure 10, so that the locking tongue 22 can be initially pulled by the hand to cross a part of the Molle webbing 200 and finally inserted into the uppermost Molle webbing 200.

[0050] Specifically, the locking tongue 22 and the hook 12 of this embodiment penetrate through the same Molle webbing 200, so that the entire buckle 100 has unity, avoiding occupying adjacent placement cells along the width direction of the Molle webbing 200 and improving the utilization rate of the Molle webbing 200.

[0051] Furthermore, in order to increase the stability of the buckle 100 for mounting items, a step 24 is formed at the connection between the locking tongue 22 and the mounting portion 21. The step 24 is used to cooperate with the hook 12 so that the Molle webbing 200 is clamped between the hook 12 and the mounting portion 21. In this way, the Molle webbing 200 is restricted between the hook 12 and the mounting portion 21, so that under an upward (such as Figure 6 the arrow c in) or downward (such as Figure 6 the arrow b in) pulling force, the buckle 100 cannot move relative to the Molle webbing 200 to ensure the stability of the buckle 100 mounted on the Molle webbing 200. That is, the cooperation between the hook 12 and the step 24 constitutes two-point support for the item. At the same time, when the item is subjected to a downward thrust, the inner wall of the bending section 40 also contacts a Molle webbing 200, restricting the movement of the buckle 100 relative to the Molle webbing 200. The cooperation of the three points realizes the stable installation of the buckle 100 on the Molle webbing 200 and realizes the stable mounting of the item, facilitating the use of the user during duty.

[0052] Among them, when the buckle 100 of this embodiment is applied to the Molle webbing 200 as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 .

[0053] Specifically, when the step 24 is formed between the locking tongue 22 and the mounting portion 21 in this embodiment, along the thickness direction of the Molle webbing 200, the locking tongue 22 is lower than the mounting portion 21 in the direction of the human body, that is, the two are connected by a bending portion, so that the mounting portion 21 can have a sufficient contact area with the Molle webbing 200 to ensure the stability of the restriction of the Molle webbing 200 by the hook 12.

[0054] The installation process of the above-mentioned buckle 100 on the Molle webbing 200 is as follows: With the left hand (for example), press the two hooks 12 to make the two hooks 12 deform towards each other, thereby reducing the distance between them for easy threading through the Molle webbing 200. At the same time, with the right hand, pull the locking tongue 22 away from the Molle webbing 200 to make the mounting structure 20 elastically deform relative to the threading structure 10. When the threading of each Molle webbing 200 is completed, the bending section 40 is hung on the Molle webbing 200, and the hook 12 returns to its original position under the action of its own elastic deformation and clamps tightly on the Molle webbing 200. At the same time, under the action of the elastic force, the locking tongue 22 automatically moves towards the Molle webbing 200 to extend into a Molle webbing 200 together with the hook 12. In this way, the installation of the buckle 100 is completed.

[0055] For the above-mentioned buckle 100, by setting the magnetic component 30 on the mounting structure 20, it can be used as a male buckle to attract and cooperate with the external mating structure as a female buckle, facilitating the detachable installation of the external mating structure; by setting multiple magnetic components 30 on the mounting structure 20, the gravitational pull of the item can be dispersed to ensure the service life of the buckle 100; by setting the threading structure 10 with hooks 12, it can be hooked on the Molle webbing 200 and can be stably mounted on the Molle webbing 200 when subjected to an upward pull; by setting the mounting structure 20 to include a mounting portion 21 and a locking tongue 22, the locking tongue 22 can extend into a Molle webbing 200 together with the hook 12 to prevent the buckle 100 from detaching from the Molle webbing 200 when subjected to an outward pull; through the joint cooperation of the hook 12 and the step 24, and the support of the bending section 40 on the Molle webbing 200, a three-point support is formed to prevent the buckle 100 from detaching from the Molle webbing 200 when subjected to an upward pull, a downward pull, or an outward pull.

[0056] Embodiment Two

[0057] Please refer to Figure 7 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the buckle 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The buckle 100 in this embodiment is substantially the same as the buckle 100 in the first embodiment, except that: the threading structure 10 further includes a threading portion 11, and the threading portion 11 is connected between the mounting structure 20 and the hook 12. When installing the buckle 100, driven by the hook 12, the threading portion 11 is threaded through multiple Molle webbings 200, and then the hook 12 hangs on the Molle webbing 200. In this way, due to the provision of the threading portion 11 with an integral shape, the structural strength of the entire buckle 100 is increased.

[0058] Embodiment Three

[0059] Please refer to Figure 8 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the buckle 100 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The buckle 100 in this embodiment is generally the same as the buckle 100 in the first embodiment. The difference is that when multiple magnetic members 30 are provided on the mounting structure 20, the multiple magnetic members 30 are sequentially separated along the juxtaposed direction of the Molle webbing 200, that is, the multiple magnetic members 30 are sequentially separated from left to right, so that there can be multiple cooperation points with the external cooperation structure, having a stronger suction force. The gravity pulling force from the article can be dispersed at multiple points, enhancing the mounting ability. For example, at this time, the external cooperation structure can be used to place heavier items such as flashlights.

[0060] Although the present invention has been disclosed through the above embodiments, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above components can be replaced with similar or equivalent elements known to those skilled in the art.
