[0026] The following is a description of the embodiments of the present application disclosed in the present application, which is described by specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of the present application from the disclosure of the present application. The present application can be implemented or applied by other different embodiments, and each detail in the present application can be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the concept of the present application. In addition, the drawings of the present application are only simple schematic illustrations and are not actual size depictions, which is declared in advance. The following embodiments will further illustrate the related technical content of the present application, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0027] It should be understood that although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. can be used herein to describe various components or signals, these components or signals should not be limited by these terms. These terms are mainly used to distinguish one component from another component, or one signal from another signal. In addition, the term "or" used herein can include any combination of one or more associated listed items.

[0028] In addition, in the following description, if it is indicated to refer to or as shown in a specific figure, it is only used to emphasize that the relevant content described in the subsequent description mostly appears in the specific figure, but it does not limit the subsequent description to only refer to the specific figure.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1 to 8 As shown in the figure, the embodiment provides a wearing article 100. In cooperation Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the wearing article 100 includes a wearing article 1 and a fastener assembly 2. Wherein, the wearing article 1 can be, for example, a hat, a shoe and a clothing, etc. in practice, and the wearing article 1 includes two setting parts PT1, PT2 (for example: two pieces of cloth) arranged at intervals. The fastener assembly 2 is bridged on the two setting parts PT1, PT2, so that the relative positions of the two setting parts PT1, PT2 are fixed, thereby allowing the user to achieve the purpose of adjusting the size according to the needs.

[0030] It should be noted that the wearing article 1 and the fastener assembly 2 are collectively defined as the wearing article 100 in the embodiment, but the utility model is not limited thereto. For example, the fastener assembly 2 can also be used separately (such as: implementation, manufacturing, selling, etc.) or in combination with other components. Wherein, the fastener assembly 2 is the technical focus of the utility model, therefore, the structure of each component of the fastener assembly 2 will be introduced respectively, and the connection relationship between each component of the fastener assembly 2 will be explained in time.

[0031] In cooperation Figures 2 to 4 As shown in the figure, the fastener assembly 2 includes a track piece 21 and a fastener 22 arranged on the track piece 21. Wherein, the track piece 21 includes a body 211 and a plurality of limiting teeth 212 arranged on the body 211. Specifically, the body 211 is a long structure in the embodiment, and the body 211 has a first end E1 and a second end E2 opposite to each other, and a setting surface SD between the first end E1 and the second end E2. Wherein, a plurality of limiting teeth 212 are arranged on the setting surface SD at intervals, and the length extension direction of each limiting tooth 212 is perpendicular to the length extension direction of the body 211.

[0032] Referring to Figures 4 to 6As shown, the fastener 22 is disposed on the rail member 21, and the fastener 22 can move along the rail member 21 toward the first end E1 or the second end E2. Among them, the fastener 22 includes an annular housing 221 sleeved on the body 211, an elastic arm 222 connected to the annular housing 221, and an operating arm 223 connected to the elastic arm 222. In practice, the annular housing 221, the elastic arm 222, and the operating arm 223 can be directly integrally formed by plastic injection molding, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0033] Further, the cross-section of the annular housing 221 is in a "mouth" shape structure in this embodiment, and the annular housing 221 has a connecting wall 2211 and a clamping wall 2212 with opposite positions, and two side walls 2213 connecting the connecting wall 2211 and the clamping wall 2212. When the annular housing 221 is sleeved on the body 211, the connecting wall 2211, the clamping wall 2212, and the two side walls 2213 surround the body 211. In other words, the annular housing 221 has two openings facing the first end E1 and the second end E2.

[0034] Cooperate with Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the elastic arm 222 is accommodated inside the annular housing 221, and the elastic arm 222 can cooperate with the rail member 21 to control the movement or limit of the fastener.

[0035] Specifically, the elastic arm 222 extends from the connecting wall 2211 toward the second end E2 and the clamping wall 2212, that is, the elastic arm 222 is not parallel to the connecting wall 2211, so that the elastic arm 222 is inclined relative to the connecting wall 2211. The end of the elastic arm 222 has a limiting hook 2221 disposed between any two adjacent limiting teeth 212. Among them, the limiting hook 2221 can abut against one of the limiting teeth 212, and the limiting hook 2221 cooperates with the clamping wall 2212 to clamp the body 211 to limit the movement of the fastener 22 relative to the body 211. That is to say, the elastic arm 222 restricts the movement of the fastener 22 along the rail member toward the first end E1 or the second end E2 by both abutting and clamping methods simultaneously.

[0036] It should be particularly noted that for the convenience of the operation of the fastener assembly 2, the cooperation relationship between the elastic arm 222 and the plurality of limiting teeth 212 can be designed as a single-direction limiting cooperation structure (i.e., the ratchet effect).

[0037] Specifically, each of the limiting teeth 212 has a limiting side SA facing the first end E1 and a guiding side SG facing the second end E2, the limiting side SA and the setting surface SD have an included angle less than or equal to 90 degrees, and the guiding side SG and the setting surface SD have an included angle greater than 90 degrees. The cross section of the limiting hook 2221 is designed as a tapered structure facing the setting surface SD, and the limiting hook 2221 can form a wheel-rolling relationship with the limiting side SA and the guiding side SG towards the first end E1.

[0038] Accordingly, when the operating arm 223 is not subjected to an external force, the limiting hook 2221 can cross the limiting tooth 212 through the guiding side SG, so that the buckle 22 moves along the track member 21 towards the first end E1. Conversely, when the operating arm 223 is not subjected to an external force, the limiting hook 2221 can abut against the limiting tooth 212 through the limiting side SA, so that the movement of the buckle 22 along the track member 21 towards the second end E2 is limited.

[0039] Further Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the operating arm 223 is used for the user to operate to selectively drive the elastic arm 222 to control the movement or limitation of the buckle relative to the track member 21. In detail, the operating arm 223 extends from the elastic arm 222, and when the operating arm 223 is subjected to an external force, the elastic arm 222 can be temporarily deformed to make the limiting hook 2221 away from the clamping wall 2212 and outside the limiting teeth 212, and the buckle 22 can move relative to the body 211. In other words, when the operating arm 223 is not subjected to any external force, the elastic arm 222 maintains the state of clamping to limit the movement of the buckle 22 relative to the track member 21.

[0040] Preferably, the operating arm 223 in the present embodiment is parallel to the connecting wall 2211, and the operating arm 223 and the elastic arm 222 have an included angle greater than 90 degrees.

[0041] In addition, in practice, in order to facilitate the operating arm 223 to be subjected to the external force, the operating arm 223 can extend from the elastic arm 222 to the outside of the annular housing 221, thereby facilitating the user to exert the external force. Similarly, the length of the operating arm 223 can be designed to be greater than or equal to the length of the elastic arm 222, so that the user can better save effort when exerting the external force on the operating arm.

[0042] In addition, the operation arm 223 is exposed to the outside of the ring-shaped housing 221, and a designer can sew a traction rope (not shown) to the operation arm 223 to further improve the operation convenience. It is worth noting that the operation arm 223 is spaced apart from the connecting wall 2211, and a receiving space AS is formed among the operation arm 223, the elastic arm 222, and the connecting wall 2211. Therefore, a part of the traction rope can be received in the receiving space AS to improve the aesthetics.

[0043] In addition, the operation arm 223 needs to be subjected to an external force for operation, and therefore the operation arm 223 can further include a wide part 2231 and a narrow part 2232 having a thickness smaller than the wide part 2231. The wide part 2231 is connected to the elastic arm 222 and located inside the ring-shaped housing 221, and the narrow part 2232 is connected to the wide part 2231 and located outside the ring-shaped housing 221. In other words, the wide part 2231 serves as a fulcrum of the operation arm 223, the narrow part 2232 serves as a force application part for traction, and the cross-sectional thickness of the wide part is greater than the cross-sectional thickness of the narrow part 2232. Accordingly, the operation arm 223 can be greatly improved in service life and reliability.

[0044] It is additionally noted that, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 , in order to ensure the movement stability of the fastener 22 on the track member 21, each of the two side walls 2213 of the ring-shaped housing 221 can have a track rib RB on a side facing the other side wall 2213, and each track rib RB is adjacent to the top surface of the plurality of limiting teeth 212 to help stabilize the movement of the fastener 22.

[0045] In addition, the ring-shaped housing 221 can be designed to have a diverging space ES and a straight space LS connected to the diverging space ES between the track rib RB and the clamping wall 2212. The diverging space ES is located on a side of the ring-shaped housing 221 facing the first end E1, the straight space LS is located on a side of the ring-shaped housing 221 facing the second end E2, and the positions of the plurality of track ribs RB can correspond to the diverging space ES and the straight space LS. Accordingly, the track member 21 can have a greater swing range on a side facing the first end (i.e., a side of the track member 21 away from the operation arm 223) to improve the operation convenience.

[0046] Similarly, the clamping wall 2212 can be designed to have a chamfer on both sides facing the first end E1 and the second end E2 (as shown in Figure 6The track member 21 can have a better feeling when swinging relative to the buckle 22, and the service life of the track member 21 can be improved.

[0047] [Technical effects of the embodiment of the utility model]

[0048] In summary, the buckle assembly and the wearing article can intuitively and quickly adjust the size of the wearing article (for example, a hat or a shoe) through the design that the limiting hook can abut against one of the limiting teeth, and the limiting hook is clamped to the body by the clamping wall to limit the movement of the buckle relative to the body, and the elastic arm can be temporarily deformed when the operating arm is subjected to an external force, so that the limiting hook is away from the clamping wall and located outside the limiting teeth, and the buckle can move relative to the body.

[0049] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent range of the utility model, so that equivalent technical changes made by applying the contents of the utility model specification and drawings are included in the protection range of the utility model.
