Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of straps for being tied on the object such as luggage, in particular to a kind of strap with simple use and good fastening effect, and the assembly of the strap and luggage. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing luggage strap mainly includes two kinds, one is the strap fixed by the male buckle and female buckle respectively arranged at the both ends of the strap body, and the other is the strap fixed by the Velcro structure (commonly known as devil felt).

[0003] The strap fixed by the male buckle and female buckle must have the strap body with adjustable length. The user needs to adjust the length of the strap body according to the size of the luggage, so that the strap body is wound around the luggage, and the male buckle and the female buckle can be just buckled with each other. However, it is actually quite difficult for the user to adjust the strap body to the length suitable for the luggage. As long as the strap body is slightly too long, the strap will not be fixed firmly enough. On the contrary, if the strap body is slightly too short, it will be difficult for the user to buckle the male buckle and the female buckle with each other.

[0004] The strap fixed by the Velcro structure does not have the problem of adjusting the length, but the user still needs to pull the strap body tightly and then fix the Velcro structure to make the strap firmly fixed on the luggage. However, when the user pulls the strap body tightly, if the user's pulling force is not enough, or if the strap rotates and slides around the luggage due to one-way force, it is often difficult for the user to really tighten the strap. Or, while the user is pulling the strap body tightly, the user must also apply force to press the buckle of the strap on the luggage to avoid the strap from sliding. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above problems, one of the purposes of the utility model is to provide a strap which is easy to use, has good fastening effect and is more labor-saving.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides a bandage for fastening a object, the object can (but not limited to) be a suitcase. The bandage includes a base, a pressing plate and a band. The front and rear ends of the base have a pivot joint and a combination part respectively. The front and rear ends of the pressing plate have a pivot and a through part respectively, the pivot is detachably pivoted to the pivot joint of the base, so that the pressing plate can be pivoted between a first position and a second position relative to the base, wherein when the pressing plate is located at the first position, the pressing plate is pressed on the base, and when the pressing plate is located at the second position, the pressing plate is away from the base, secondly, the through part has a first belt hole and a second belt hole. The band has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the first end of the band is combined with the combination part of the base, the second end of the band passes through the first belt hole and the second belt hole of the pressing plate and is pulled tight to the first end direction, so that the pressing plate can be pivoted from the second position to the first position relative to the base, and the second end can be detachably fixed to the one end.

[0007] Therefore, the bandage provided by the utility model can be adjusted to a length that can be approximately wrapped around an object by adjusting the second end of the band body through the first and second through holes of the pressing plate, and then the base is abutted against the object and the pivot of the pressing plate is arranged at the pivoting portion of the base, and the second end of the band body is slightly pulled to slightly tighten the base, the pressing plate and the band body on the object, and then the second end of the band body is pulled towards the first end of the band body to fix the second end at the first end. In the foregoing process, the action of pulling the second end of the band body by the user forces the pressing plate to pivot about the pivot as the rotating fulcrum to the first position in which the pressing plate is pressed against the base from the second position in which the pressing plate is farther away from the base along the direction in which the user pulls the band body. In the process of pressing the pressing plate towards the base, the pressing plate applies a forward pushing force to the pivoting portion of the base through the pivot, and applies a backward pulling force to the base through the band body connected between the through portion of the pressing plate and the connecting portion of the base. Since the pushing force and the pulling force are applied to the pivoting portion of the base in opposite directions and can resist each other, the base can be kept in place without sliding relative to the object. Secondly, when the pressing plate is completely pressed against the base (i.e. the pressing plate is in the first position), the section of the band body that has not passed through the through portion of the pressing plate is pressed against the pressing plate, and the section of the band body that has passed through the through portion of the pressing plate is pressed against the connecting portion of the base, so that the pressing plate can be tightly pressed against the base. That is, the user only needs to pull the band body to keep the base in place, so that when the bandage is wrapped around the object, the base, the pressing plate and the band body can be positioned at any position of the object to solve the problem that the conventional bandage is easily rotated and slid relative to the object due to one-way force application. Moreover, the action of pulling the band body forces the pressing plate to pivot (from the second position to the first position relative to the base), and the band body is pulled by a distance, so that a good tightening effect can be achieved in a convenient and labor-saving manner. Furthermore, the pressing plate is pivoted relative to the base, so that the operation of the bandage is easier and smoother.

[0008] Preferably, the base has a protruding clamping portion and a positioning groove below the clamping portion, and the pressing plate has a protruding clamping portion; when the pressing plate is in the first position, the clamping portion of the pressing plate is clamped in the positioning groove of the base and abuts against the clamping portion of the base. Therefore, the pressing plate can be more stably positioned in the first position in which the pressing plate is pressed against the base.

[0009] Preferably, the pivot portion of the base has a pivot hole, the pivot shaft of the pressing plate is disposed in the pivot hole of the pivot portion; when the pressing plate is in the first position, the clamping portion of the pressing plate is spaced apart from a slot wall of the positioning groove, and the pivot shaft is tightly abutted against a hole wall of the pivot hole. In this way, the pressing plate and the base can be conveniently pivoted or separated, and the pulling force of the belt body can be borne by the pivot shaft of the pressing plate and the pivot portion of the base, so as to improve the safety, durability and practicability of the belt during use.

[0043] AsFigure 1 As shown, the strap 10 provided in the first preferred embodiment of this utility model includes a base 20, a pressure plate 30, and a strap body 40.

[0044] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the base 20 is generally a rectangular plate, which may (but is not limited to) be made of plastic material, and has a pivot 21 at one end (e.g., the front end), a connecting portion 23 at the other end (e.g., the rear end), and a receiving groove 25 between the pivot 21 and the connecting portion 23. More specifically, the base 20 has a generally rectangular base plate 20a, a left wall 20b integrally extending upward from the left top surface of the base plate 20a, a right wall 20c integrally extending upward from the right top surface of the base plate 20a, and a rear beam 20d connecting the rear ends of the left wall 20b and the right wall 20c. The receiving groove 25 is formed around the base plate 20a, the left wall 20b, the right wall 20c, and the rear beam 20d.

[0045] The left wall 20b and the right wall 20c are mirror-symmetrical and parallelly spaced. The front end of the left wall 20b and the front end of the right wall 20c form a left hook 20e and a right hook 20f, respectively. The left hook 20e and the right hook 20f have a pivot hole 20e1 and 20f1, respectively. The pivot hole 20e1 of the left hook 20e extends horizontally for a certain length and has an opening that is open to the rear end, left side and right side of the left wall 20b. The pivot hole 20f1 of the right hook 20f also extends horizontally for a certain length and has an opening that is open to the rear end, left side and right side of the right wall 20c. In this embodiment, the left hook 20e and the right hook 20f together form the aforementioned pivot 21. However, this utility model is not limited thereto. For example, a single hook with a pivot hole can be formed between the front end of the left wall 20b and the front end of the right wall 20c, or a single shaft tube with a pivot hole can be provided as the pivot of the base provided by this utility model.

[0046] Secondly, the middle section of the left side wall 20b has a guide surface 20g which is inclined downward and forward and has an opening which connects to the pivot hole 20e1 of the left hook portion 20e, and the middle section of the right side wall 20c has a guide surface 20h which is inclined downward and forward and has an opening which connects to the pivot hole 20f1 of the right hook portion 20f. In addition, the middle section of the left side wall 20b has a recessed left engaging portion 20i, and the middle section of the right side wall 20c has a recessed right engaging portion 20j. The front and rear ends of the left engaging portion 20i respectively have an engaging portion 20i1 which is arc-shaped and protrudes toward the rear end and a guide surface 20i2 which is arc-shaped and protrudes toward the front end, and the lower portion of the engaging portion 20i1 has a positioning recess 20i3. The front and rear ends of the right engaging portion 20j respectively have an engaging portion 20j1 which is arc-shaped and protrudes toward the rear end and a guide surface 20j2 which is arc-shaped and protrudes toward the front end, and the lower portion of the engaging portion 20j1 also has a positioning recess 20j3.

[0047] In this embodiment, the rear beam 20d is suspended above the bottom plate 20a and has a gap between the bottom plate 20a. Therefore, the bottom plate 20a, the left side wall 20b, the right side wall 20c and the rear beam 20d together form a combination portion 23 which has a combination hole 23a (as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 ) formed by the gap, for allowing the strap 40 to pass through, so that the base 20 can be combined with the strap 40. However, the present application is not limited thereto. For example, the combination portion 23 can be formed by directly providing a through hole in the bottom plate 20a, or a platform can be directly formed at the rear end of the base 20 for allowing the strap 40 to be attached or sewn, or the platform can be connected by a buckle, so as to serve as the combination portion of the base 20 provided by the present application.

[0048] As shown in Figures 2 to 5 , the pressing plate 30 is substantially a rectangular plate body which can be made of metal or plastic material, has a pivot 31 at one end (e.g. the front end), a through portion 33 at the other end (e.g. the rear end), and a stepped body 35 between the pivot 31 and the through portion 33. The pivot 31 is detachably connected to the pivot portion 21 of the base 20, so that the pressing plate 30 can be pivoted relative to the base 20 between a first position P1 (as shown in Figure 2 , 8 ) in which the pressing plate 30 is pressed against the base 20, and a second position P2 (as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 ) in which the pressing plate 30 is away from the base 20.

[0049] In detail, the front end of the pressing plate 30 is provided with a pivot 31 formed by a cylinder, the middle section of the pivot 31 is integrally connected to one end of the body 35, and the two ends of the pivot 31 can slide downward and forward along the guide surfaces 20g, 20h of the left and right side walls 20b, 20c, respectively, and then horizontally slide into the pivot connection holes 20e1, 20f1 of the left and right hook portions 20e, 20f from the openings of the pivot connection holes 20e1, 20f1, so that the pressing plate 30 can pivot between the first position P1 and the second position P2 relative to the base 20. In the present embodiment, the pivot connection holes 20e1, 20f1 of the left and right hook portions 20e, 20f are configured such that at least a portion of the hole diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the two ends of the pivot 31, for example, the hole diameter of the pivot connection holes 20e1, 20f1 can gradually increase from the rear end to the front end, and the front end hole diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the two ends of the pivot 31, and the rear end hole diameter is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the two ends of the pivot 31. Since the left and right hook portions 20e, 20f are made of plastic and have slight elasticity, during the sliding process, the front end of the pivot connection holes 20e1, 20f1 will be slightly expanded to allow the two ends of the pivot 31 to pass through and then return to their original state. Thus, after the two ends of the pivot 31 completely enter the pivot connection holes 20e1, 20f1, the two ends of the pivot 31 can be stably maintained inside the pivot connection holes 20e1, 20f1 of the left and right hook portions 20e, 20f without easily coming off.

[0050] Secondly, the two sides (i.e. left and right sides) of the body 35 of the pressing plate 30 are respectively provided with an arc-shaped protruding clamping portion 35a, 35b towards the front end of the pressing plate 30. When the pressing plate 30 is located at the first position P1, the body 35 of the pressing plate 30 is mostly accommodated in the accommodation groove 25 of the base 20, and the two sides of the body 35 are respectively accommodated in the left and right clamping portions 20i, 20j of the base 20. At this time, the two clamping portions 35a, 35b of the pressing plate 30 (especially the upper edges of the two clamping portions 35a, 35b) respectively abut against the clamping portions 20i1, 20j1 of the left and right side walls 20b, 20c, so that the pressing plate 30 can be stably maintained at the first position P1. Secondly, when the pressing plate 30 is pivoted from the first position P1 to the second position P2 relative to the base 20, the user can obviously feel that the lower edges of the two clamping portions 35a, 35b respectively touch and then pass through the left and right clamping portions 20i, 20j, so that the user can know that the pressing plate 30 has been positioned at the first position P1.

[0051] Furthermore, the penetrating portion 33 of the pressing plate 30 has a first penetrating hole 331 and a second penetrating hole 332 penetrating the upper and lower surfaces thereof in different directions. When the belt 40 penetrates the first and second penetrating holes 331, 332, the inclined first and second penetrating holes 331, 332 can produce a clamping effect on the belt 40 to improve the fastening effect of the belt 10. In detail, the upper and lower edges of the first and second penetrating holes 331, 332 of the pressing plate 30 form four sharp clamping end surfaces. The belt 40 bent through the first and second penetrating holes 331, 332 will produce strong resistance to clamp the belt 40, so that the belt 40 cannot slide relative to the first and second penetrating holes 331, 332, and thus the belt 40 can be stably combined with the pressing plate 30. Secondly, in the pressing plate 30 provided by the utility model, the aforementioned clamping end surfaces can be further provided with sharp teeth to hook the belt 40. For example, when the belt 40 is a woven belt, the woven belt is directly hooked, or when the belt 40 is a hook-and-loop belt, the loop-shaped structure (i.e., the commonly known loop surface) of the hook-and-loop belt is hooked. These designs not only more stably fix the belt 40 to the pressing plate 30, but also are suitable for use with a belt with adjustable length. However, the first and second penetrating holes 331, 332 in the utility model are not limited to extending in different directions, as long as the belt 40 can penetrate.

[0052] As Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in the present embodiment, the strap 40 is at least partially in the form of a hook-and-loop fastener structure 50, i.e. the strap 40 can be entirely in the form of the hook-and-loop fastener structure 50, or the strap 40 can have other non-hook-and-loop fastener portions in addition to the hook-and-loop fastener structure 50. However, the strap 40 used in the present application is not limited thereto, and for example, the strap 40 can be a woven strap or other types of straps. In detail, in the present embodiment, the strap 40 is entirely in the form of the hook-and-loop fastener structure 50, which includes a relatively long first hook-and-loop fastener section 51 and a relatively short second hook-and-loop fastener section 53. One end of the first hook-and-loop fastener section 51 is integrally connected to one end of the second hook-and-loop fastener section 53, or is fixedly connected thereto, for example, but not limited to, by sewing. The first hook-and-loop fastener section 51 has a first hook-and-loop fastener surface 511, and the second hook-and-loop fastener section 53 has a second hook-and-loop fastener surface 531. One of the first and second hook-and-loop fastener surfaces 511, 531 is in the form of a hook structure (i.e. commonly known as a hook surface) having a plurality of hook portions, and the other is in the form of a loop structure (i.e. commonly known as a loop surface) having a plurality of loop portions, so that the first and second hook-and-loop fastener surfaces 511, 531 can be fixedly connected to each other. The hook structure and the loop structure of the first and second hook-and-loop fastener surfaces 511, 531 described above are the same as those of the existing hook-and-loop fastener structure (i.e. commonly known as Velcro®), and therefore are only schematically shown in the drawings of the present application. In addition, the first and second hook-and-loop fastener surfaces 511, 531 can be realized by using other types of hook-and-loop fastener structures (for example, the Dual Lock hook-and-loop fastener manufactured and sold by 3M Company) in addition to the existing Velcro® hook-and-loop fastener structure.

[0053] In addition, the strap 40 includes a first end portion 41 and a second end portion 42 opposite to the first end portion 41. In the present application, the first end portion 41 refers to the portion of the strap 40 that is connected to the base 20 and extends in the direction of the second end portion 42 by a certain length, and the second end portion 42 refers to the portion of the strap 40 that extends in the direction of the first end portion 41 by a certain length from the free end of the strap 40. Since the strap 40 of the present embodiment is entirely in the form of the hook-and-loop fastener structure 50, the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42 of the strap 40 are generally formed by the first hook-and-loop fastener section 51 and the second hook-and-loop fastener section 53, respectively, and the first hook-and-loop fastener surface 511 is located on one surface of the strap 40, and the second hook-and-loop fastener surface 531 is located on the other surface of the strap 40. However, the strap 40 of the bandage 10 of the present application is not limited thereto, and as long as the first hook-and-loop fastener surface 511 and the second hook-and-loop fastener surface 531 are at least partially or entirely located on one surface of the first end portion 41 and the other surface of the second end portion 42 of the strap 40, respectively, so that the second hook-and-loop fastener surface 531 can be fixedly connected to the first hook-and-loop fastener surface 511 when the bandage 10 is used.

[0054] In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the strap 40 is wrapped around the base 20 and the object 30, and the first hook-and-loop fastener surface 511 of the first hook-and-loop fastener section 51 is fixedly connected to the second hook-and-loop fastener surface 531 of the second hook-and-loop fastener section 53, so that the strap 40 is fixedly connected to the base 20 and the object 30. Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the first end 41 of the belt 40 has a loop portion 411 formed by sewing, which passes through the engagement hole 23a of the base 20. More specifically, the belt 40 first passes through the engagement hole 23a, and then the loop portion 411 is formed by (but not limited to) sewing, so that the first end 41 of the belt 40 can rotate relative to the engagement portion 23 of the base 20 but is not detachably engaged. However, there is no limitation on the way the first end 41 of the belt 40 is engaged with the engagement portion 23 of the base 20, as long as the first end 41 of the belt 40 and the engagement portion 23 of the base 20 are connected to each other and are not easily detached. For example, fastening components such as buckles, bolts, and rivets can be used. Therefore, in this invention, the engagement portion 23 of the base 20 may not include the engagement hole 23a.

[0055] The second end 42 of the belt 40 slides through the first belt hole 331 and the second belt hole 332 of the pressure plate 30, so that the belt 40 forms a structure for winding around an object (e.g., Figure 6 The luggage 60 shown has a wraparound section 43 and an end section 47 extending outward beyond the pressure plate 30. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the winding section 43 of the strap 40 is entirely formed by the first hook-and-loop section 51, and the entire winding section 43 can be regarded as the first end 41 of the strap 40. The end section 47 of the strap 40 covers the second end 42 of the strap 40, and the end section 47 is partially formed by the second hook-and-loop section 53. However, this utility model is not limited thereto. The lengths of the first end 41 and the second end 42 are only long enough to ensure that the first hook-and-loop surface 511 of the strap 40 is at least partially located at the first end 41, and the second hook-and-loop surface 531 of the strap 40 is at least partially located at the second end 42, so that when the strap 10 is in use, the second hook-and-loop surface 531 can fasten to the first hook-and-loop surface 511.

[0056] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, when using the strap 10 provided by this utility model, the user first loops the strap 10 around an object, such as a suitcase 60. In other words, the strap 10 of this utility model is not limited to use on a suitcase 60, but can be used on any object that needs to be securely looped by the strap 10. For the sake of simplifying the drawings and facilitating explanation, Figures 6 to 8 Only a portion of the suitcase 60 is shown. The suitcase 60 has a left shell 61 and a right shell 62. Figure 6 The base 20 is positioned near the junction of the left shell 61 and the right shell 62, but this invention is not limited thereto; the base 20 can be positioned anywhere on the suitcase 60 (e.g., Figure 11 (As shown).

[0057] The user can first adjust the strap 40 to a length that can substantially wrap around the luggage 60 by adjusting the length of the second end 42 of the strap 40 that passes through the first strap passing hole 331 and the second strap passing hole 332 of the pressing plate 30. Then, the base 20 is placed against the luggage 60 and the pivot 31 of the pressing plate 30 is placed in the pivot portion 21 of the base 20. The second end 42 of the strap 40 is then slightly pulled to preliminarily wrap the strap 40 around the luggage 60 (as shown in Figure 6 ). At this time, the wrapping section 43 of the strap 40, together with the base 20 and the pressing plate 30, wraps around the luggage 60 once. The pressing plate 30 is in the second position P2 relative to the base 20, i.e., the body 35 of the pressing plate 30 is away from the receiving groove 25 of the base 20. At the same time, the user can slightly pull the end section 47 (or the second end 42) of the strap 40 outward to slightly tighten the strap 40, the pressing plate 30 and the base 20 around the luggage 60. Then, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the user pulls the end section 47 (or the second end 42) of the strap 40 towards the joint portion 23 of the base 20 (or towards the first end 41 of the strap 40) to fasten the second Velcro surface 531 to the first Velcro surface 511. During the above process, the user's pulling of the second end 42 of the strap 40 causes the pressing plate 30 to rotate 180 degrees about the pivot 31 in the direction in which the user pulls the strap 40. The 180 degrees refers to the angle of rotation of the pressing plate 30 from the state shown in Figure 6 to the state shown in Figure 8 . In this way, when the strap 40 is tightly wrapped around the luggage 60 and the second Velcro surface 531 is fastened to the first Velcro surface 511, as shown in Figure 8 , a portion of the wrapping section 43 of the strap 40 (particularly the section 431 of the strap 40 before passing through the pressing plate 30) is pressed against the pressing plate 30, the body 35 of the pressing plate 30 is pressed against and engaged in the receiving groove 25 of the base 20, the pressing plate 30 is in the first position P1, and a portion of the second end 42 of the strap 40 (particularly the section 421 of the strap 40 after passing through the pressing plate 30) is pressed against the joint portion 23 of the base 20. Therefore, compared to the state of the wrapping section 43 of the strap 40 in Figure 6 , when the pressing plate 30 is in the second position P2, the wrapping section 43 of the strap 40 in Figure 8 , when the pressing plate 30 is in the first position P1, is pulled by a distance (which is approximately twice the distance from the first strap passing hole 331 to the pivot 31), so that the strap 40 is extremely stretched.

[0058] In more detail, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 and Figures 9A to 9DIn the process of the user pulling the second end 42 of the strap 40 towards the first end 41 of the strap 40, the tension of the strap 40 will cause the pivot 31 of the pressing plate 30 to abut against the hole wall of the pivot holes 20e1, 20f1 of the base 20. When the pressing plate 30 is pressed down, the lower edges of the two clamping portions 35a, 35b of the pressing plate 30 will first abut against the upper edges of the two clamping portions 20i1, 20j1 of the base 20 (as shown in Figure 9A Fig. 6). At this time, as long as the pressing plate 30 is pressed down further, the lower edges of the two clamping portions 35a, 35b of the pressing plate 30 will push against the upper edges of the two clamping portions 20i1, 20j1 of the base 20, forcing the pressing plate 30 to move slightly backwards, so that the pivot 31 of the pressing plate 30 slightly leaves the hole wall of the pivot holes 20e1, 20f1 of the base 20 (as shown in Figure 9B Fig. 7). Then, as the pressing plate 30 is continuously pressed down, the two clamping portions 35a, 35b of the pressing plate 30 will respectively pass over the two clamping portions 20i1, 20j1 of the base 20 (as shown in Figure 9C Fig. 8). After that, the two clamping portions 35a, 35b of the pressing plate 30 will respectively slide into the two positioning grooves 20i3, 20j3 of the base 20. At this time, the tension of the strap 40 will pull the pressing plate 30 towards the pivot holes 20e1, 20f1, so that the two clamping portions 35a, 35b of the pressing plate 30 are respectively clamped in the two positioning grooves 20i3, 20j3 of the base 20, and the pivot 31 of the pressing plate 30 abuts against the hole wall of the pivot holes 20e1, 20f1 of the base 20 again (as shown in Figure 9D Fig. 9). In this way, the pressing plate 30 is prevented from bouncing up and the strap 40 is kept in a highly tensioned state, i.e. the pressing plate 30 can be kept in the first position P1, so that the user can easily fasten the second hook-and-loop surface 531 of the strap 40 to the first hook-and-loop surface 511, thus completing the action of bundling the luggage 60. Furthermore, to loosen the strap 10, the user only needs to lift the second end 42 of the strap 40 upwards, so that the two clamping portions 35a, 35b of the pressing plate 30 respectively slide out of the two positioning grooves 20i3, 20j3 of the base 20, so that the pressing plate 30 is pivoted to the second position P2 and is detached from the base 20, thus releasing the bundling state.

[0059] As Figure 9DAs shown, when the pressure plate 30 is held in the first position P1, there is a small gap between the front ends of the two snap-fit ​​portions 35a and 35b of the pressure plate 30 and the groove walls of the two positioning grooves 20i3 and 20j3. Meanwhile, the pivot 31 of the pressure plate 30 is tightly abutted against the hole walls of the pivot holes 20e1 and 20f1 of the base 20. Therefore, the tension of the belt body 40 on the pressure plate 30 will be jointly borne by the pivot 31 of the pressure plate 30 and the pivot portion 21 of the base 20 (i.e., the hole walls of the pivot holes 20e1 and 20f1). Moreover, since the pivot 21 of the pressure plate 30 or the pivot portion 21 of the base 20 provided by this utility model is structurally configured to withstand extremely large forces, the safety, durability and practicality of the strap 10 during use can be ensured. However, the structural configuration of the base 20 and the pressure plate 30 in the strap 10 provided by this utility model is not limited to this.

[0060] For example, such as Figures 10A to 10C As shown, another configuration relationship between the pressure plate 30 and the base 20 is depicted. In this state, the distance d1 from the foremost point of the pivot 31 of the pressure plate 30 to the foremost points of the two locking portions 35a and 35b of the pressure plate 30 is less than the distance d2 between the hole walls of the pivot holes 20e1 and 20f1 of the base 20 and the groove walls of the two positioning grooves 20i3 and 20j3. Furthermore, the shapes of the two locking portions 35a and 35b of the pressure plate 30 can also be selectively designed to be almost complementary to the shapes of the two positioning grooves 20i3 and 20j3 of the base 20. In this way, as Figure 10C As shown, when the pressure plate 30 is pressed down relative to the base 20 to the first position P1, the front ends of the two locking parts 35a and 35b of the pressure plate 30 will tightly abut against the groove walls of the two positioning grooves 20i3 and 20j3 of the base 20, and the upper edges of the two locking parts 35a and 35b of the pressure plate 30 will respectively abut against the lower edges of the two locking parts 20i1 and 20j1 of the base 20. There is a small gap between the pivot 31 of the pressure plate 30 and the hole walls of the pivot holes 20e1 and 20f1 of the base 20. At this time, the tension of the belt 40 on the pressure plate 30 will be borne by the two locking parts 35a and 35b of the pressure plate 30 and the left and right side walls 20b and 20c of the base 20 (the two positioning grooves 20i3 and 20j3 of the base 20), rather than by the pivot 31 of the pressure plate 30 and the pivot part 21 of the base 20. With the structural configuration of the base 20 and the pressure plate 30, the pressure plate 30 can be held more flatly in the first position P1, and the body 35 of the pressure plate 30 located in the middle and the left and right side walls 20b and 20c of the base 20 can jointly bear greater tension, thus preventing the pivot 31 of the pressure plate 30 located at the free end or the pivot part 21 of the base 20 from breaking due to excessive force.

[0061] It is particularly noted that, during the carrying of the luggage 60, the joint clasp of the buckle type strap commonly used in the prior art is often broken due to the great tension caused by the throwing impact or heavy pressure, however, the pivot 31 of the pressing plate 30 or the pivot joint 21 of the base 20 of the strap 10 provided by the present application can withstand a great force, thus even if the structure configuration as shown in Figures 9A to 9D is adopted, no breakage will occur. However, for better safety, durability and practicability, the preferable structure configuration as shown in Figures 10A to 10C may be adopted.

[0062] As described above, the action of the user pulling the strap 40 can keep the base 20 pressed against the luggage 60 without sliding, and the action of pulling the strap 40 can turn the pressing plate 30 to easily tighten the strap 40 by a distance, thus achieving a good tightening effect in a convenient and labor-saving manner. Furthermore, the pressing plate 30 is pivoted relative to the base 20 by the pivot 31, so that the operation of the strap 10 is easier and smoother.

[0063] In the embodiment introduced in Figures 6 to 8 , the strap 10 provided by the present application is described in the use mode that the pressing plate 30 is pivoted 180 degrees relative to the base 20. In fact, the final tightness of the strap 10 bound on the luggage 60 can be adjusted. In detail, when the strap 10 is sleeved on the luggage 60, the user can adjust the initial angle of the pressing plate 30 relative to the base 20 (i.e. relative to the luggage 60) when the strap 10 is initially tightened, for example, 0 degrees as shown in Figure 6 (the pressing plate 30 is parallel to the base 20 and is unfolded on the outer surface of the luggage 60), or 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees, 90 degrees, 120 degrees, etc. relative to the base 20, when the pressing plate 30 is at these different initial angles relative to the base 20, it can be regarded as the second position P2 of the present application. In this way, due to the different initial angles of the pivoting of the pressing plate 30, the strap 10 can have different tightness lengths after the strap 40 is tightened, thus achieving the purpose of adjusting the tightness of the strap 10 bound on the luggage 60.

[0064] As mentioned above, the position of the base 20 of the strap 10 provided by the present application on the luggage 60 has no limitation in use, for example, Figure 11 shows that the pressing plate 30 of the strap 10 is arranged at the central and smooth position of one shell of the luggage 60, and the purpose of the present application can also be achieved.

[0065] As shown in Figure 12 , a strap 10' provided by a second preferable embodiment of the present application is given, the structure of the strap 10' is similar to the strap 10 provided by the first preferable embodiment described above, the only difference is that Figure 12The strap 40 shown can adjust the length itself. In detail, the strap 10' further comprises a length adjustment member 48 for adjusting the length of the winding section 43 of the strap 40, the length adjustment member 48 is generally in the shape of a ring and has a fixed rod 481 in the center and two strap passing holes 483 on both sides of the fixed rod 481, and the strap 40 has a combination end 401 combined with the fixed rod 481 of the length adjustment member 48, a free end 403 and a body 405 between the combination end 401 and the free end 403, wherein the body 405 passes through the combination hole 23a of the combination part 23 of the base 20 and the two strap passing holes 483 of the length adjustment member 48, so that the part of the body 405 between the combination hole 23a of the base 20 and the length adjustment member 48 forms the first end 41 of the strap 40, and the strap 40 also has a second end 42 opposite the first end 41 and formed by the second fastener section 53, and the part of the strap 40 between the combination part 23 of the base 20 and the passing part 33 of the pressing plate 30 forms the so-called winding section 43. By adjusting the position of the length adjustment member 48 combined with the body 405, the length of the first end 41 can be adjusted, and the length of the winding section 43 is adjusted accordingly. In other words, in addition to the functions of the strap 10 provided in the first embodiment, the user can also adjust the length of the winding section 43 of the strap 40 according to the size of the luggage to increase the applicability and convenience of use of the strap 10'.

[0066] In the above-mentioned first and second embodiments, the second end 42 of the strap 40 and the first end 41 are detachably fixed to each other by the fastener structure 50, but the present application is not limited thereto, for example, components or structures such as snap fasteners, elastic bands and the like which can be quickly fixed and separated can also be used. For example, Figure 13 The third preferred embodiment of the present application is shown in the above-mentioned part of the strap 10" provided by the present application. The biggest difference between the strap 10" provided by the present application and the straps 10, 10' provided by the first and second embodiments is that it further comprises an elastic band 70. The elastic band 70 is first sleeved on the first end 41 of the strap 40, when the second end 42 of the strap 40 is pulled towards the first end 41 to position the pressing plate 30 at the first position P1, the user can pass the second end 42 of the strap 40 into the elastic band 70, so that the second end 42 is fixed to the first end 41 by the elastic band 70, the whole operation is quite easy and convenient, and the strap 40 can use a general woven strap, without the need for a fastener, and the applicability is higher.

[0067] Finally, it must be noted that the components described in the foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application, and other equivalent components or changes should also be covered by the scope of the present application.
