Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a hook; in particular, it refers to an insulating tool buckle. Background Technology

[0002] The existing insulating tool buckle includes a C-shaped buckle body with an opening in the middle of the front side. A buckle head and a pivot part are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the buckle body corresponding to the opening. A gate rod is pivotally connected to the pivot part of the buckle body. The upper end of the gate rod is fastened to the buckle head to close the opening. The outer surfaces of the buckle body and the gate rod are insulated by covering them with an insulating layer.

[0003] To separate different parts of the buckle body, some connecting buckles use a metal separator rod screwed into opposite sides of the buckle body, dividing the buckle body into sections that are not connected to the opening. However, since the aforementioned separator rod is a metal screw, an insulating layer needs to be coated on its surface to meet the insulation requirements of insulated tool buckles. Furthermore, the metal structure makes it difficult to reduce weight, failing to meet the lightweight requirements of insulated tool buckles when worn by the user, and further improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an insulating tool buckle, wherein the dividing rod of the buckle body is made of insulating material and connected to the insulating layer of the buckle body, thereby enabling the dividing rod to be set on the buckle body and reducing the weight of the dividing rod, thus making the insulating tool buckle lightweight.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an insulating tool buckle, comprising a buckle body, a separator rod, and a gate rod. The buckle body includes a metal core and an insulating layer; the metal core is a C-shaped metal ring, and the insulating layer covers the outer surface of the metal core; an opening is formed in the middle of the front side of the buckle body, and a pivot portion and a buckle head are respectively provided at the lower and upper ends of the buckle body adjacent to the opening; the portion of the insulating layer adjacent to the lower part of the pivot portion forms a first connecting segment, and the portion of the insulating layer located at the rear side of the buckle body forms a second connecting segment. The separator rod is an insulating rod made of the same material as the insulating layer, and its front and rear ends are integrally connected to the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment, respectively; a closed hole is formed around the portion of the separator rod and the buckle body located between the first and second connecting segments. The gate rod is a rod with an insulated outer surface; the lower end of the gate rod is pivotally connected to the pivot portion, and the upper end of the gate rod is fastened to the buckle head and closes the opening.

[0006] The advantage of this invention is that, since the separator rod is an insulating rod made of the same material as the insulating layer, it can be manufactured simultaneously when the insulating layer is injection-molded onto the surface of the metal core, allowing it to be easily installed on the buckle body. Furthermore, the separator rod functions to separate the space within the buckle body, without bearing the weight of the hooks or knots attached to it. Therefore, by making the separator rod an insulating rod, compared to a structure with a metal outer insulating layer, the overall weight of the insulating tool buckle can be reduced, achieving lightweight design and reducing the user's carrying burden.

Please refer to... Figure 1 The image shows an insulating tool retainer 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The following description, when referring to directions, will use the relative positions of the insulating tool retainer 100 in use: up / down, front / back, left / right, and inside / outside. The insulating tool retainer 100 in this preferred embodiment is designed with an insulated outer surface and includes a retainer body 10, a separator rod 143, a gate rod 20, and an outer tube 30.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the buckle body 10 includes a metal core 12 and an insulating layer 14. The metal core 12 is a C-shaped metal ring, and the insulating layer 14 is an insulating material that covers the outer surface of the metal core, making the outer surface of the buckle body 10 insulated. The material of the insulating layer 14 can be silicone or plastic, etc. An opening A is formed in the middle of the front side of the buckle body 10. A pivot portion 16 and a buckle head 18 are respectively provided at the lower end and upper end of the buckle body 10 adjacent to the opening A.

[0018] The pivot portion 16 has an insert plate 161 with a shaft hole 162. A recess 163 is formed on the rear side of the upper end face of the insert plate 161, and the recess 163 is a V-shaped groove. A pair of grooves 181 are formed on the inner side of the buckle 18, located at the left and right positions respectively. A fixing hook 182 is provided at the lower end of the buckle 18, adjacent to the lower edge of the pair of grooves 181. A first connecting section 141 is formed on the portion of the insulating layer 14 below the pivot portion 16; a second connecting section 142 is formed on the portion of the insulating layer 14 located behind the buckle body 10. The second connecting section 142 is located behind the first connecting section 141.

[0019] The separator rod 143 is a rod made of a single insulating material; specifically, it is made of the same material as the insulating layer 14. The separator rod 143 has front and rear ends. The front end of the separator rod 143 is integrally connected to the first connecting segment 141, and the rear end of the separator rod 143 is integrally connected to the second connecting segment 142. A closed hole B is formed around the portion of the separator rod 143 and the buckle body 10 located between the first connecting segment 141 and the second connecting segment 142. In this preferred embodiment, the separator rod 143 is manufactured simultaneously with the insulating layer 14 when it is coated and ejected from the metal core 12.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the gate arm 20 is a rod made of a single insulating material, and the outer surface of the gate arm 20 is insulated; the material of the gate arm 20 can be insulating materials such as silicone or plastic. The lower end of the gate arm 20 is pivotally connected to the pivot part 16. Specifically, the lower end of the gate arm 20 is provided with a downward-opening longitudinal groove 22, which penetrates the front and rear sides of the lower end of the gate arm 20, forming two pivot holes 221 on the left and right sides of the lower end of the gate arm 20. The two pivot holes 221 communicate with the left and right sides of the longitudinal groove 22. The longitudinal groove 22 accommodates the insert plate 161 of the pivot part 16, and the two pivot holes 221 communicate with the left and right ends of the shaft hole 162, respectively. A pivot assembly 40 is pivotally inserted through the two pivot holes 221 and the shaft hole 162.

[0021] The pivot assembly 40 includes a rivet 42, a cap 44, and an end cap 46. The rivet 42 has a connected shaft 421 and a head 422. The shaft 421 passes through the two pivot holes 221 and the shaft hole 162. The head 422 is integrally connected to one end of the shaft 421, and the other end of the shaft 421 is riveted to form a riveting portion 423. The cap 44 is a cover made of insulating material. A portion of the cap 44 is embedded in one of the two pivot holes 221 and covers the head 422, preventing the head 422 from protruding outwards. The end cap 46 is a cover made of insulating material. A portion of the end cap 46 is embedded in the other pivot hole 221 and covers the riveting portion 423, preventing the riveting portion 423 from protruding outwards. The gate arm 20 can rotate forward or backward around the pivot assembly 40 as its rotation center.

[0022] The upper end of the gate arm 20 has a buckle groove 24 with its opening facing forward. The front and upper sides of the buckle groove 24 form a sleeve opening 241 and a through opening 242, respectively. The upper end of the sleeve opening 241 is connected to the front end of the through opening 242. The buckle groove 24 forms a pair of hook portions 243 on the left and right sides adjacent to the through opening 242. The buckle groove 24 is fastened forward to the buckle head 18 of the buckle ring body 10. The pair of hook portions 243 of the buckle groove 24 are inserted into the pair of grooves 181 of the buckle head 18. The fixing hook 182 is embedded in the buckle groove 24 and is located below the pair of hook portions 243, thereby causing the gate arm 20 to close the opening A of the buckle ring body 10.

[0023] An external thread 26 and an annular groove 28 are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the middle portion along the axial direction of the gate arm 20, respectively. The external thread 26 is closer to the buckle groove 24 than the annular groove 28. A spring groove 29 is formed at the axial center position inside the gate arm 20. The upper end of the spring groove 29 is a closed end, and the lower end of the spring groove 29 communicates with the longitudinal groove 22. A spring 48 is provided in the spring groove 29. The spring 48 is in a compressed state, and its upper end abuts against the closed end of the spring groove 29. A push rod 49 is provided in the longitudinal groove 22. The push rod 49 is a bent rod. The upper half of the push rod 49 is inserted into the spring groove 29 and abuts against the lower end of the spring 48. The lower half of the push rod 49 is bent backward, and the lower end of the push rod 49 abuts against the surface of the recess 163.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the outer tube 30 is a circular tube made of a single insulating material, and its outer surface is insulated. The material of the outer tube 30 can be insulating materials such as silicone or plastic. The outer tube 30 is fitted around the gate arm 20, and an internal thread 32 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the outer tube 30. The internal thread 32 is screwed into the external thread 26. The front side of the upper end of the outer tube 30 covers the front of the sleeve opening 241 of the gate arm 20. A stop ring 34 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the outer tube 30 adjacent to the lower end of the internal thread 32. The stop ring 34 is circular. A C-shaped ring 41 is embedded in the annular groove 28. The stop ring 34 and the C-shaped ring 41 are spaced vertically apart, and the inner diameter of the stop ring 34 is smaller than the outer diameter of the C-shaped ring 41. When the outer tube 30 moves downward, the lower end of the outer tube 30 can accommodate the C-shaped ring 41, and the stop ring 34 of the outer tube 30 will be blocked by the C-shaped ring 41, limiting the distance that the outer tube 30 can rotate downward along the external thread 26.

[0025] When using the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, please refer to... Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the user rotates the outer tube 30 by hand, causing it to rotate downwards along the external thread 26 of the gate rod 20. When the outer tube 30 rotates until its upper end no longer obstructs the front of the sleeve 241, the gate rod 20 can be rotated backwards around the pivot assembly 40. During this process, the buckle 18 disengages from the buckle groove 24, opening the opening A. Then, a hook or knot or other ring-shaped object can be fitted onto the buckle body 10 via the buckle 18. Finally, the gate rod 20 and the outer tube 30 are returned to their original positions to close the opening A, completing the operation of attaching the hook or knot to the buckle body 10. In addition to fitting the hook onto the buckle body 10 via the buckle 18, the user can also directly hook the hook onto the part of the buckle body 10 located around the closed hole B, with the separator rod 143 restricting the hook passing through the closed hole B to the lower end of the buckle body 10.

[0026] Since the main function of the gate rod 20 and the outer tube 30 is not to bear weight, but to open or close the opening A of the buckle body 10, the gate rod 20 and the outer tube 30 are respectively made of insulating material rod and tube. The strength is sufficient to realize the function of opening or closing the opening A without affecting the strength of the buckle body 10 to support the object fastened thereon. Moreover, compared with the structure of the gate rod or outer tube with the metal surface covered with an insulating layer, the gate rod 20 and the outer tube 30 in this preferred embodiment have a lightweight effect of reducing weight. Similarly, the main function of the dividing rod 143 is not to bear weight, but to divide the space inside the buckle body 10. Therefore, the dividing rod 143 is made of the same material as the insulating layer 14. The strength of the dividing rod 143 is sufficient to divide the space inside the buckle body 10 into upper and lower sides, without affecting the strength of the buckle body 10 in supporting the objects fastened to it. Compared with the dividing rod with the insulating layer on the metal surface, the dividing rod 143 in this preferred embodiment has a lightweight effect that reduces weight.

[0027] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the user rotates the outer tube 30 downwards to release the gate lever 20, and then applies force to rotate the gate lever 20 backwards around the pivot assembly 40, the top rod 49, whose upper half is inserted into the spring groove 29, will also rotate backwards around its lower end abutting against the recess 163. Since the rotation centers of the gate lever 20 and the top rod 49 are different, during the backward swing of the gate lever 20 and the top rod 49, the upper half of the top rod 49 will gradually compress the spring 48. Finally, when the user releases the gate lever 20, the restoring force of the spring 48 will drive the gate lever 20 to rotate forward and return to its original position, causing the buckle groove 24 to engage forward with the buckle 18 of the buckle body 10. At this point, the user can rotate the outer tube 30 upwards to return it to its original position.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred and feasible embodiment of this utility model. Any equivalent changes made by applying the specification and claims of this utility model should be included within the patent scope of this utility model.
