Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fasteners, and more particularly to a locking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The Molle system originated in the late 1990s and was designed by the U.S. Army, primarily for soldiers' tactical equipment. The system uses a large number of PALS nylon webbing straps, each 1.5 inches (approximately 3.8 cm) wide and spaced 1 inch (approximately 2.5 cm) apart. In use, users can secure various functional pouches (magazine pouches, medical kits, water bottle pouches, etc.) to a mounting platform (tactical vest, backpack, or other tactical vests) using the PALS webbing straps. This method allows for easy access to items within the pouches. Today, the Molle system is also frequently found in hiking backpacks, outdoor bags, and other outdoor gear, and is popular among outdoor enthusiasts.

[0003] In existing designs, the secondary package is fixed to the PALS webbing by using buckles or webbing. However, connecting and separating the secondary package from the mounting platform still requires cumbersome webbing insertion steps, which consumes the user's time and effort. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above problems and provides a lock for use in the Molle system. The lock can clamp and fix the bag to the webbing, and the lock makes it easier and faster to hang the secondary bag on the mounting platform / remove it from the mounting platform.

[0005] To solve the above problems, a latch is provided, comprising a second clamping body and a first clamping body rotatably connected, with a clamping space formed between the second clamping body and the first clamping body.

[0006] The second clamp is elastically deformable in the first direction;

[0007] The first clamp body is provided with first locking portions spaced apart in a first direction, and a clamping position is formed between the first locking portions;

[0008] When the second clamping body rotates relative to the first clamping body, the second clamping body can be squeezed by the first locking part and elastically deformed to partially enter the clamping position and engage with the first locking part, thereby achieving the locking of the second clamping body and the first clamping body; in the locked state, the second clamping body cannot rotate relative to the first clamping body.

[0009] Furthermore, the second clamp includes an elastic arm that extends substantially along a second direction, the elastic arm having a second engaging portion that can engage with the first engaging portion.

[0010] Furthermore, the elastic arms are spaced apart in a first direction; a connecting portion is provided between the elastic arms, and the connecting portion is integrally connected to the elastic arm.

[0011] Furthermore, the first snap-fit ​​portion is provided with a first snap hook portion and a first snap groove, and the second snap-fit ​​portion is provided with a second snap hook portion and a second snap groove. When the second clamping body is snapped and locked with the first clamping body, the first snap hook portion is partially located in the second snap groove, and the second snap hook portion can prevent the first snap hook portion from disengaging from the second snap groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the second clamp and the first clamp are respectively used to be disposed on both sides of the MOLLE webbing, and the second clamp and the first clamp are locked together so that they can be hung on the MOLLE webbing.

[0013] Furthermore, the second clamp is used to pass through the interlayer space between one or more parallel MOLLE webbing and the supporting fabric, and to make the second snap-fit ​​portion extend out of the webbing; the first clamp is rotated to engage the first snap-fit ​​portion with the second snap-fit ​​portion, thereby clamping the MOLLE webbing between the first clamp and the second clamp.

[0014] Furthermore, a hook portion is provided at the end of the second clamp body opposite to the rotating connection end. When the second clamp body passes through the MOLLE webbing, the hook portion hooks onto the edge of the MOLLE webbing in the opposite direction to limit the displacement of the lock in the installation direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the first clamping body is provided with a recessed clearance portion, and when the second clamping body engages with the first clamping body, the second engagement portion is partially located within the clearance portion.

[0016] Furthermore, the first clamp is equipped with a magnet, which can attract other objects to the first clamp through magnetic attraction.

[0017] Furthermore, the side of the first clamp body opposite to the second clamp body is provided with a protruding locking tongue or a recessed locking groove.

[0018] Furthermore, the latch includes a first latch and a second latch.

[0019] Both the first latch and the second latch include a second clamping body and a first clamping body. The first clamping body of the first latch is provided with a locking tongue, which protrudes from the side of the first clamping body opposite to the second clamping body.

[0020] The first clamp of the second latch is provided with a locking groove, which is located on the side of the first clamp of the second latch opposite to its second clamp.

[0021] The latch matches the lock groove, and the latch can be inserted into the lock groove to lock the first latch and the second latch.

[0022] The beneficial contribution of this invention lies in its effective solution to the aforementioned problems. This invention comprises a first clamping body and a second clamping body that are rotatably connected, forming a clamping space between them. The first clamping body has a first engaging portion, and clamping positions are formed between the first engaging portions. When the first clamping body is rotated, the second clamping body is squeezed by the first engaging portion and elastically deforms to partially enter the clamping position, thus engaging with the first engaging portion to achieve locking between the second clamping body and the first clamping body. The first clamping body and the second clamping body can bind the webbing within the clamping space, thereby connecting the first clamping body and the second clamping body to the webbing. Further, the latches of this invention include a first latch and a second latch that can lock onto each other. The first latch includes a second clamping body and a first clamping body with a locking tongue; the second latch includes a second clamping body and a first clamping body with a locking groove. The first latch and the second latch can be connected to the webbing of the mounting platform and the sub-bag respectively, and the sub-bag can be detachably mounted on the mounting platform through the connection of the locking hole and the locking groove. The locking connection between the first and second clamps is sufficiently secure to ensure a good connection with the webbing; the detachable connection of the lock hole and lock slot is convenient and quick, allowing users to quickly attach / remove the secondary bag from the mounting platform.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The following embodiments are further explanations and supplements to the present invention and do not constitute any limitation on the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1-7 The lock includes a second clamping body 20 and a first clamping body 10 rotatably connected, with a clamping space formed between the second clamping body 20 and the first clamping body 10. The second clamping body 20 is elastically deformable in a first direction. The first clamping body 10 has first engaging portions 11 spaced apart in the first direction, forming a clamping position between the first engaging portions 11. When the second clamping body 20 rotates relative to the first clamping body 10, the second clamping body 20 can be squeezed by the first engaging portions 11 and elastically deformed to partially enter the clamping position and engage with the first engaging portions 11, thereby locking the second clamping body 20 and the first clamping body 10. In the locked state, the second clamping body 20 cannot rotate relative to the first clamping body 10.

[0033] The first end of the first clamp 10 and the first end of the second clamp 20 are rotatably connected.

[0034] Further, the second clamp 20 includes an elastic arm 21 extending substantially along a second direction, and the elastic arm 21 is provided with a second latching portion 211, the position of which corresponds to the position of the first latching portion 11. In this embodiment, the distance from the second latching portion 211 to the first end of the second clamp 20 is the same as the distance from the first latching portion 11 to the first end of the first clamp 10. There are two first latching portions 11 on one first clamp 10, and two second latching portions 211 on one second clamp 20, with the line connecting the two second latching portions 211 along the first direction. Of course, the number of first latching portions 11 and second latching portions 211 is not limited to this. In other embodiments, one or more sets of identical structures can be designed.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second snap-fit ​​portion 211 protrudes from the elastic arm 21.

[0036] When the first clamping body 10 rotates relative to the second clamping body 20, the second locking portion 211 contacts the first locking portion 11. Under the mutual compression of the first locking portions 11, the elastic arm 21 drives the second locking portion 211 to elastically deform along the first direction and enter the clamping position between the first locking portions 11, thereby establishing an engagement with the first locking portion 11, so that the first clamping body 10 cannot rotate in the opposite direction relative to the second clamping body 20 to open. The second locking portion 211 achieves the locking of the first clamping body 10 and the second clamping body 20 by preventing the first locking portion 11 from rotating.

[0037] Furthermore, the elastic arms 21 are spaced apart in the first direction; a connecting portion 22 is provided between the elastic arms 21, and the connecting portion 22 is integrally connected to the elastic arms 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, a first clamping body 10 includes two elastic arms 21, the connecting portion 22 is located between the two elastic arms 21, and the elastic arms 21 are partially connected to the connecting portion 22, so that the first clamping body 10 can form a whole and ensure that the elastic arms 21 can elastically deform along the first direction; in addition, it can also improve the structural strength, and the connecting portion 22 can resist the elastic deformation of the elastic arms 21, making it less likely that the elastic arms 21 will elastically deform under load, causing the first clamping body 10 and the second clamping body 20 to open accidentally.

[0038] When the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20 are engaged, the elastic arm 21 deforms along the first direction toward the other elastic arm 21. In other words, the elastic arms 21 elastically deform inward toward each other.

[0039] Further, the first clamping body 10 includes a plate-shaped first main body portion, and the first engaging portion 11 protrudes from the first main body portion. The direction in which the first engaging portion 11 protrudes relative to the first main body portion is perpendicular to the first direction. Further, the first engaging portion 11 is provided with a first inclined surface 113, and the second engaging portion 211 is provided with a second inclined surface 2113. The first inclined surface 113 and the second inclined surface 2113 cooperate to provide a guiding function. Specifically, when the first clamping body 10 rotates relative to the second clamping body 20, the first clamping body 10 can both compress the second inclined surface 2113 through the first inclined surface 113 to cause the elastic arm 21 to deform along the first direction, and can also allow the first engaging portion 11 to partially slide into the side of the second engaging portion 211 away from the first main body portion for engagement through the cooperation of the first inclined surface 113 and the second inclined surface 2113, thereby making it easier for the first engaging portion 11 and the second engaging portion 211 to engage together. Furthermore, the first inclined surface 113 is located on the side of the first snap-fit ​​portion 11 that is away from the first main body portion; the second inclined surface 2113 is located on the side of the second snap-fit ​​portion 211 that faces the first main body portion.

[0040] Furthermore, to enhance the locking engagement between the first clamping body 10 and the second clamping body 20, the first locking portion 11 is provided with a first hook portion 111 and a first slot 112; the second locking portion 211 is provided with a second hook portion 2111 and a second slot 2112.

[0041] The first hook portion 111 is provided at the end of the first latching portion 11, and the first hook portion 111 and the wall portion of the first latching portion 11 are spaced apart to form the first slot 112.

[0042] The second hook portion 2111 is provided at the end of the second latching portion 211, and the second hook portion 2111 and the wall portion of the second latching portion 211 are spaced apart to form the second slot 2112.

[0043] After the second clamp 20 and the first clamp 10 are engaged and locked, the first hook portion 1111 and the second hook portion 2111 hook each other. Specifically, the first hook portion 1111 is partially located within the second slot 2112, at which time the first hook portion 111 is located on the side of the second engaging portion 211 away from the first main body; the second hook portion 2111 is partially located within the first slot 112. The first hook portion 111 and the second hook portion 2111 can mutually prevent each other from disengaging from the second slot 2112 and the first slot 112 along the first direction.

[0044] Furthermore, in order to release the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20, opposing forces can be applied to the elastic arm 21 in the first direction to cause the elastic arm 21 to deform elastically in the first direction, thereby causing the second locking part 211 to disengage from the first locking part 111 in the first direction. This will further drive the first clamp 10 to rotate relative to the second clamp 20 and open it.

[0045] To facilitate unlocking, the first hook portion 111 is provided with a third inclined surface 1111, and the second hook portion 2111 is provided with a fourth inclined surface 21111. The third inclined surface 1111 can cooperate with the fourth inclined surface 21111. When the elastic arm 21 is pressed along the first direction, the two elastic arms 21 are brought closer to each other. The third inclined surface 1111 and the fourth inclined surface 21111 cooperate, and the second hook portion 2111 slides along the third inclined surface 1111 and disengages from the first slot 112, thereby unlocking the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20.

[0046] Furthermore, the second clamp 20 and the first clamp 10 are respectively used to be disposed on both sides of the MOLLE webbing, and the second clamp 20 and the first clamp 10 are locked together so that they can be hung on the MOLLE webbing.

[0047] The length of the second clamp 20 can be set as needed, and it can accommodate the installation of one MOLLE webbing or multiple MOLLE webbing.

[0048] The second clamp 20 can be designed to fit with the MOLLE webbing in various ways.

[0049] Design 1: The length of the second clamp 20 can accommodate one of the MOLLE webbing straps. During installation, the second clamp 20 is inserted into the interlayer space between the MOLLE webbing strap and the fabric (such as a tactical vest), so that the second locking part 211 protrudes outside the MOLLE webbing strap. Then, the first clamp 10 is rotated so that the first locking part 11 of the first clamp 10 engages with the second locking part 211, thereby locking the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20 together, thus attaching the entire assembly to the MOLLE webbing strap.

[0050] Design 2: The length of the second clamp 20 is sufficient to be threaded onto multiple parallel, spaced MOLLE webbing strips. During installation, the second clamp 20 is inserted into the interlayer space between the MOLLE webbing and the fabric (such as a tactical vest) at the first position, and then continuously passes through the interlayer spaces between the MOLLE webbing and the fabric (such as a tactical vest) at other positions, with the second locking part 211 extending out of the MOLLE webbing. Then, the first clamp 10 is rotated, causing the first locking part 11 of the first clamp 10 to engage with the second locking part 211, thereby locking the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20 together, thus attaching the entire assembly to the MOLLE webbing. When the length of the second clamp 20 is long enough to pass through multiple spaced MOLLE webbing, in order to enhance the reliability of the mounting, a hook part 23 can be provided at the second end of the second clamp 20. When the second end of the first clamp 10 extends out of the MOLLE webbing through the interlayer space between the MOLLE webbing and the fabric (such as a tactical vest), the hook part 23 can hook onto the MOLLE webbing in the opposite direction, thereby preventing the buckle from shaking in the second direction and causing accidental opening.

[0051] Furthermore, when the second clamping body 20 adopts design one, preferably, the connecting portion 22 is closer to the first end of the second clamping body 20 in the second direction than the second snap-fit ​​portion 211. The elastic arm 21 is provided with a strip-shaped hole, so that the elastic arm 21 can be deformed more easily in the first direction.

[0052] Furthermore, when the second clamping body 20 adopts Design Two, preferably, the second clamping body 20 can bind the MOLLE webbing in the clamping space by locking with the first clamping body 10, and the hook portion 23 can hook the MOLLE webbing at the end position, thereby realizing the connection between the second clamping body 20 and multiple MOLLE webbing. Specifically, in this design, the connecting portion 22 is located at the second end of the second clamping body 20, and the hook portion 23 is provided on the connecting portion 22. In the second direction, the connecting portion 22 is further away from the first end of the second clamping body 20 than the second snap-fit ​​portion 211.

[0053] In summary, Design 1 is compact overall, while Design 2 makes the connection between the second clamp 20 and the MOLLE webbing more secure. Design 1 or Design 2 can be flexibly selected according to the actual situation.

[0054] Furthermore, when the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20 are unlocked, as the second hook portion 2111 moves away from the first slot 112 along the inclined direction of the third slope 1111, the second engaging portion 211 first approaches the first clamp 10 and then moves away from the first clamp 10. To facilitate the second engaging portion 211 approaching the first clamp 10 along the inclined direction of the third slope 1111, the first clamp 10 is provided with a recessed clearance portion 12. More specifically, the clearance portion 12 is provided on the first main body, and the clearance portion 12 is adjacent to the first engaging portion 11. After the second clamp 20 engages with the first clamp 10, the second engaging portion 211 is partially located within the clearance portion 12 and is spaced apart from the bottom of the slot of the clearance portion 12 to form a clearance space. The recessed design of the avoidance part 12 allows the second locking part 211 to still have room to move closer to the first clamp 10 when the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20 are locked, thus making it easier to unlock.

[0055] Furthermore, to achieve a rotatable connection between the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20, the second clamp 20 includes a second connecting portion 25, which includes a connecting shaft portion 251; the first clamp 10 has a first connecting portion 14, which has a connecting hole 141; the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20 are rotatably connected by inserting the connecting shaft portion 251 into the connecting hole 141. Further, the second clamp 20 has two second connecting portions 25, and each elastic arm 21 has one second connecting portion 25; the first clamp 10 has two first connecting portions 14. The first clamp 10 also has a first abutment portion 13, which is located between the two first connecting portions 14; the first abutment portion 13 faces the second clamp 20. The elastic arm 21 has a protruding second abutment portion 24, which is located on the side of the second clamp 20 facing the first clamp 10; specifically, the second abutment portion 24 is adjacent to the second connecting portion 25. When the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20 are in the locked state, the first hook part 13 and the second hook part 24 are at the same horizontal height, that is, the direction of the line connecting the first hook part 13 and the second hook part 24 is the first direction. When the MOLLE webbing is bound in the clamping space, the first hook part 13 and the second hook part 24 can be hooked on the same side of the MOLLE webbing at the same time.

[0056] The first hook part 13 and the second hook part 24 are hook-shaped.

[0057] Furthermore, the free end of the connecting shaft portion 251 is provided with a guide portion 2511, and the first connecting portion 14 is provided with an inlet groove 142. The inlet groove 142 communicates with the connecting hole 141 in a direction transverse to the axial direction of the connecting hole 141. The connecting shaft portion 251 can enter the inlet groove 142 through the guide portion 2511, and can enter the connecting hole 141 by compression, so as to form a rotational connection between the first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 25, that is, a rotational connection between the first clamping body 10 and the second clamping body 20.

[0058] Furthermore, the first clamp 10 also includes a blocking portion 17, which is located between the two first connecting portions 14 and adjacent to the first abutment portion 13. The line connecting the connecting shaft portion 251, the first connecting hole 141, and the blocking portion 17 is along a first direction. The blocking portion 17 is used to prevent the connecting shaft portion 251 from dislodging from the first connecting hole 141 along the first direction, thus ensuring the rotational connection between the first clamp 10 and the second clamp 20.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first clamp 10 is provided with a magnet, which can attract other objects to the first clamp 10 through magnetic attraction. Specifically, the magnet is located on the first main body of the first clamp 10.

[0060] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first clamp 10 has a protruding latch 15 or a recessed locking groove 16 on the side opposite to the second clamp 20, so that the latch of this application can be detachably locked together with other objects having locking grooves 16 or latches 15.

[0061] Furthermore, the first latching portion 11 is located on the first side of the first main body portion facing the second clamp 20, and the locking tongue 15 or locking groove 16 is located on the second side of the first main body portion opposite to the first side.

[0062] Furthermore, the latch includes a first latch 100 and a second latch 200. Both the first latch 100 and the second latch 200 include a second clamping body 20 and a first clamping body 10. The first clamping body 10 of the first latch 100 is provided with a locking tongue 15, which protrudes from the side of the first clamping body 10 opposite to the second clamping body 20.

[0063] The first clamping body 10 of the second latch 200 is provided with a locking groove 16, which is located on the side of the first clamping body 10 of the second latch 200 opposite to its second clamping body 20.

[0064] The latch 15 can be matched with the lock groove 16, and the latch 15 can be inserted into the lock groove 16 to achieve detachable locking of the first latch 100 and the second latch 200. The second clamping body 20 of the first latch 100 can be either Design 1 or Design 2; the second clamping body 20 of the second latch 200 can also be either Design 1 or Design 2; the second clamping bodies 20 of the first latch 100 and the second clamping bodies 20 of the second latch 200 can both use the same design or different designs.

[0065] Specifically, the first clamping body 10 of the second latch 200 includes a locking member with a locking portion; the latch 15 of the first latch 100 has a locking groove 151 that matches the locking portion. When the latch 15 is inserted into the locking groove 16, under the magnetic force of the magnetic mechanism or the elastic force of the elastic mechanism, the locking portion enters the locking groove 151 laterally along the latch 15 to prevent the latch 15 from moving axially, and the latch 15 cannot disengage from the locking groove 16, thus locking the first latch 100 and the second latch 200. By operating the locking member, the locking portion is moved out of the locking groove 151, and the latch 15 can disengage from the locking groove 16, thus unlocking the first latch 100 and the second latch 200.

[0066] Furthermore, the latch 15 is provided with a first magnet groove, and a first magnet is installed in the first magnet groove; the first clamping body 10 of the second latch 200 is provided with a second magnet groove, and a second magnet is installed in the second magnet groove; the first magnet and the second magnet are configured to be magnetically attracted to each other. When the latch 15 and the latch groove 16 are close together, the magnetic attraction of the first magnet and the second magnet allows the latch 15 to be easily and quickly inserted into the latch groove 16 to establish engagement. The locking member is provided with a third magnet. During the process of the latch 15 being inserted into the latch groove 16, the third magnet is displaced by the magnetic force, which drives the locking member to move until the locking part enters the locking groove 151, thereby realizing the locking of the first latch 100 and the second latch 200.

[0067] Furthermore, the number of latches 15 on the first latch 100 is the same as the number of lock slots 16 on the second latch 200, and the specific number is not limited; it can be one or more. For example, the first latch 100 has two latches 15 arranged along a first direction; the second latch 200 has two lock slots 16 arranged along a first direction.

[0068] Instructions for use: Secure the first latch 100 to the MOLLE webbing of the mounting platform (e.g., a tactical vest) and lock it in place; secure the second latch 200 to the MOLLE webbing of the accessory (e.g., a small pouch containing a weapon) and lock it in place. Move the accessory so that the latch 15 and the locking groove 16 are close to each other. Under the action of magnetic attraction, the latch 15 inserts into the locking groove 16, and the locking part inserts into the locking groove 151, thus locking the first latch 100 and the second latch 200. The accessory is then mounted on the mounting platform (e.g., a tactical vest). When it is necessary to separate the accessory, move the locking part through the exposed release part to disengage the locking part from the locking groove 151, releasing the locking connection between the first latch 100 and the second latch 200. The accessory can then be removed from the mounting platform.

[0069] The latch of this application enables the rapid connection and disconnection of accessories on the mounting platform. Through magnetic alignment and automatic locking, along with the quick operation of the exposed release mechanism, users can quickly attach and detach attachments, significantly improving operational efficiency. The magnetically guided locking tongue alignment with the locking groove simplifies the alignment process and reduces operational difficulty, allowing users to easily complete the locking operation even in stressful environments or when visibility is limited. The design of the locking part inserting into the locking groove forms a mechanical lock, ensuring a stable and reliable connection between the first and second latches, preventing accidental detachment of accessories during movement or under stress, and guaranteeing the safety of tactical equipment. The latch of this application utilizes the MOLLE webbing system for fixation. The MOLLE system is a common standard for current tactical equipment, allowing this solution to be widely applied to various tactical vests, backpacks, and other mounting platforms, as well as various compatible accessory pouches. It maintains a compact and versatile overall structure while achieving multiple functions, demonstrating high practical value.

[0070] 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 by similar or equivalent elements known to those skilled in the art.
