Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of belts, and more particularly to a belt for attaching to a suitcase, which has an elastic section that can automatically compensate for its length, thereby improving convenience in use. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional belts generally have buckles at both ends and an adjustment member to adjust the length of the belt itself. However, in actual use, if the adjusted length is insufficient, the buckles at both ends cannot be fastened together, and conversely, if the length is too long, the tightening effect of the belt is reduced. In particular, when used in a suitcase or travel bag, the belt length must be frequently adjusted because it is affected by changes in the contents inside, which is not only inconvenient but also prone to problems such as loosening or being too tight.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need to provide a belt that can automatically fine-tune its length and overcome the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, the object of the present invention is to provide a belt that can be automatically stretched to compensate for any slight insufficiency in the length of the belt through the elasticity of the elastic section, eliminating the need for repeated manual adjustment of the components, and improving convenience and agility in use. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The belt of the present invention comprises a belt body, an adjustment member, a first buckle portion, and a second buckle portion. The belt body has two opposite ends. The adjustment member is attached to the belt body and is used to adjust the length of the belt body. The first buckle portion is installed at one end of the belt body, and the second buckle portion is installed at the other end of the belt body, and the second buckle portion is detachably coupled to the first buckle portion. The belt body has an elastic section and a non-elastic section connected to each other, and the elasticity of the elastic section allows the length of the belt body to be fine-tuned.

[0006] To achieve the above and other objectives, the adjustment member of the present invention has two adjustment holes and a rod portion installed between the two adjustment holes, and is used to insert the belt body to adjust its length.

[0007] In order to achieve the above and other objects, the first buckle part of the present invention has a first perforation, and the second buckle part has a second perforation, and one end of the elastic section and the inelastic section are connected to each other by sewing, the other end of the elastic section is first inserted through the two adjustment holes, a portion of which is hooked around the rod section and then inserted through the first perforation, and then again inserted through the two adjustment holes, a portion of which is hooked around the rod section, and sewn to the elastic section (near the sewing point), and the other end of the inelastic section is first inserted through the second perforation, and then again inserted through the two adjustment holes, a portion of which is hooked around the rod section, and then a portion of which is hooked around the rod section, and then extended from the other adjustment hole and sewn to the inelastic section.

[0008] To achieve the above and other objectives, the length of the elastic section of the present invention is shorter than the length of the inelastic section.

[0009] To achieve the above and other objects, the first buckle part of the present invention is a female buckle and the second buckle part is a male buckle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the belt 1 of the present invention is used to attach to the exterior of a suitcase, and can also be applied to other structures that require fastening, such as boxes, bags, backpacks, equipment bags, etc.

[0014] The belt 1 includes a belt body 10, an adjustment member 20, a first buckle part 30, and a second buckle part 40. The belt body 10 has two opposing ends and includes an elastic section 11 and at least one inelastic section 12 connected to each other, and the length of the belt body 10 can be finely adjusted by the elasticity of the elastic section 11.

[0015] The adjustment member 20 is attached to the belt body 10 and is movable on the belt body 10, and is used to adjust the length of the belt body 10.

[0016] The first buckle part 30 is installed at one end of the belt body 10, and the second buckle part 40 is installed at the other end of the belt body 10, and the second buckle part 40 is removably coupled onto the first buckle part 30.

[0017] The elastic section 11 is made of an elastic and stretchable material, which can exert a small stretching action during use, automatically compensating for errors in the length of the belt 1 and improving ease of operation. For example, by first using the adjustment member 20 to adjust the belt body to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the suitcase, and then pulling and slightly stretching the belt body 10, the insufficient length can be automatically compensated for, eliminating the need to precisely adjust the adjustment member 20 to the length of the belt body.

[0018] In this embodiment, the first buckle part 30 and the second buckle part 40 are general plug-in buckles (the first buckle part 30 is a female buckle and the second buckle part 40 is a male buckle), but they may also be hook structures, carabiner structures, or other detachable fastening members. The present invention is not limited to these and can be determined according to actual application needs.

[0019] More specifically, the belt body 10 of the present invention is composed of sections with different material properties, and the elastic section 11 and the inelastic section 12 can be joined together by sewing, hot pressing, or other methods. For example, the inelastic section 12 can be made of nylon, polyester fiber, leather, or other materials, which have relatively good tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and structural stability, making it suitable for withstanding major traction forces for a long period of time. The elastic section 11 can be made of flexible materials such as elastic fiber or PU elastomer, giving the entire belt 1 a small degree of ductility.

[0020] It is worth noting that in the present invention, the length of the elastic section 11 is shorter than the length of the inelastic section 12. The design purpose of the elastic section 11 is not to replace the entire belt body 10, but to provide only a relatively short section of the belt body 10 (for example, the length of the elastic section 11 is approximately one-sixth of the entire length of the belt body 10), so that the belt body 10 can have an elastic stretching effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the elastic section 11 is pulled, it is stretched from the initial length L0 of the elastic section 11 to the first length L1, and the length of the belt body 10 is simultaneously extended), while at the same time maintaining a certain adjustment margin while avoiding problems such as unstable tensile force and fatigue of rebound resilience that result from excessive reliance on elasticity.

[0021] 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, in this embodiment, the adjustment member 20 has two adjustment holes 21 and a rod portion 22 installed between the two adjustment holes, and is used to insert the belt body 10 and adjust its length. In addition, the first buckle portion 30 has a first perforation 31, and the second buckle portion 40 has a second perforation 41.

[0022] 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, assuming that the elastic section 11 has a first end 111 and a second end 112, and the inelastic section 12 has a third end 121 and a fourth end 122, the belt body 10, the adjusting member 20, the first buckle portion 30, and the second buckle portion 40 are assembled as follows: first, one end of the elastic section 11 and one end of the inelastic section 12 are connected and fixed to each other by sewing (i.e., the first end 111 of the elastic section 11 and the third end 121 of the inelastic section 12 are sewn together). Next, the other end of the elastic section 11 (i.e., the second end 112) is first inserted through one adjustment hole 21 of the adjusting member 20, a portion of which is looped around the rod portion 22, and then extended from the other adjustment hole 21 and further inserted through the first perforation 31 of the first buckle portion 30. Next, the elastic section 11 is wound and inserted again through one of the adjustment holes 21 of the adjustment member 20, a portion of which is hung around the rod portion 22, and then extended from the other adjustment hole 21 and sewn onto the elastic section 11 (for example, sewn to a position near the first end 111), thereby forming a two-layer structure in the elastic section 11. Naturally, the elastic section 11 may also be fixed by sewing at a position near the first perforation 31 to prevent the first buckle portion 30 from shifting.

[0023] The other end (i.e., the fourth end 122) of the inelastic section 12 is inserted through the second perforation 41 of the second buckle section 40, then inserted through one of the adjustment holes 21 of the adjustment member 20, a portion of which is hung around the rod section 22 and extended from the other adjustment hole 21, and then the inelastic section 12 is wrapped around and sewn to the inelastic section 12, thereby forming a two-layer structure in the inelastic section 12.

[0024] After assembly, the adjusting member 20 can be moved to the elastic section 11 or the non-elastic section 12 to arbitrarily adjust the length of the belt body 10 according to actual needs.

[0025] More specifically, adjusting the length of the belt body 10 using the adjustment member 20 can only be done roughly, and it is difficult to get the exact length. As shown in Figure 7, in the case of a suitcase, the present invention designs the elastic section 11 so that the user can adjust the length of the belt body 10 to a rough length (for example, making the length of the belt body 10 slightly shorter than the outer circumference of the suitcase), and after wrapping the belt body 10 around the suitcase, the user can pull the belt body 10 to slightly stretch the elastic section 11, thereby compensating for the difference in length of the belt 1, and the first buckle portion 30 and the second buckle portion 40 can be smoothly fastened to fasten the suitcase.

[0026] It is worth noting that, because the elastic section 11 is stretchable, even if the volume of the object changes during use due to compression caused by changes in the load or movement (for example, a backpack being compressed and deformed), an adaptive adjustment can be achieved and the fastening state can be maintained without loosening through the deformation of the elastic section 11. In addition, the design of the present invention effectively avoids the problem of sliding and loosening caused by wear due to repeated adjustment of the adjustment member 20, thereby increasing the service life and safety of the product.

[0027] From the above explanation, it can be seen that the technical features disclosed in this invention can effectively solve the problems of existing belts, such as the inconvenience of adjustment or the tendency for them to loosen, and can be widely used in a variety of applications, such as travel goods, straps for daily necessities, and outdoor goods, and therefore has high industrial applicability and market potential.

[0028] To summarise the above, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0029] [1] Automatic fine-tuning function. The belt body 10 of the present invention is provided with an elastic section 11. By roughly adjusting the belt body 10 and shortening its length slightly from the required length, the elastic section 11 will naturally stretch to compensate, thereby achieving a secure connection (and the elastically stretched connection effectively improves the fastening strength). The user can use the belt securely without adjusting it to the exact length, which increases convenience and resistance to damage.

[0030] [2] Reduced number of operations: Conventional belts require frequent length adjustment to achieve a tightening effect, but the present invention uses the elastic compensation mechanism of the elastic section 11, allowing the user to adjust the length to a rough standard for stable use, greatly reducing the effort of repeated adjustment before fastening, saving time and improving efficiency.

[0031] [3] Simple structure. The present invention uses sewing or hot pressing to join the elastic section 11 and the inelastic section 12, making it possible to form a belt 1 with elastic compensation effect without requiring any additional complex components, which not only simplifies the manufacturing process but also makes it possible to mass-produce and repair / replace.

[0032] [4] Extended service life. The elastic section 11 installed in this device only occupies a portion of the entire belt body 10, and its proportion is designed to be appropriately short, so that it can effectively achieve the elastic stretching effect without affecting the strength of the belt body 10. The short design of the elastic section 11 reduces the problems of fatigue and permanent deformation that occur with long-term use of elastic materials and avoids a decrease in the tightening effect due to a decrease in elasticity. In addition, the elastic section 11 and the inelastic section 12 are firmly connected by sewing, making them less likely to come off or tear, improving the durability of the entire structure.

[0033] Therefore, this invention not only combines flexibility in use with structural strength, but also effectively extends the usage cycle of the belt product while increasing convenience in use, making it economical and practical for users. [Explanation of symbols]
