Buckle assembly with disengagement prevention device
A buckle assembly with a disengagement prevention device and a method for using the same is disclosed. The buckle assembly has a first buckle member having a first strap holding structure configured to adjustably affix the first buckle member to a first strap segment. A second buckle member is configured to couple with the first buckle member, the second buckle member having a second strap holding structure configured to affix the second buckle member to a second strap segment. A disengagement prevention device is configured for engagement with the first and second buckle members to maintain the first and second buckle members in a coupled state under conditions where the first and second buckle members are not properly engaged or the engagement between the first and second buckle members is accidentally released.
Fastening device with protection sheath for portable electronic device
A fastening device with protection sheath for portable electronic device is provided, including an elastic protection sheath, a connecting accessory and a strap; the elastic protection sheath being stretchable to increase size for accommodating and fixing a portable electronic device, the connecting accessory being disposed on the elastic protection sheath and located on the second surface, the connecting accessory being disposed with a rotatable arc-shaped bracket with a protruding hook and a positioning element disposed respectively at the two ends of the arc; the strap being elastic and stretchable, and having a limiting hole and a plurality of buckle holes, the strap being sheathed on the position element by the limiting hole and the protruding hook being inserted into one of the buckle holes, the bracket and the strap being used to wrap and tighten around a carrier to be fastened to.
Smart belt
The present disclosure relates to a smart belt including: a belt body; a belt buckle provided on the belt body; a GPS positioning mechanism for generating a traveling direction; and a rotatable direction indication mechanism for indicating the traveling direction; a drive mechanism for driving the direction indication mechanism to rotate to indicate the traveling direction according to the traveling direction given by the GPS positioning mechanism; and a light source used to project the traveling direction indicated by the direction indication mechanism onto the road surface. The beneficial effects of the present disclosure are: users' hands can be freed and the portability and convenience of navigation usage can be improved.
Length adjuster on wearable device
A length adjuster on a wearable device includes an arc-shaped shell and a length fine-adjustment mechanism. A first connection rack, a second connection rack, a gear, a button and a return spring of a gear shaft are provided in the arc-shaped shell. The first connection rack, the second connection rack and the gear are meshed with one another. The gear shaft is connected to a clockwork spring mechanism. The gear shaft and the length fine-adjustment mechanism are in a clutch connection. A unidirectional rotation-prevention structure is provided in the length fine-adjustment mechanism, and the unidirectional rotation-prevention structure allows the length fine-adjustment mechanism to drive the gear shaft to rotate in a rotation direction for enabling a clockwork spring to be stretched, and prevents the gear shaft from rotating in the direction opposite to the rotation direction. The length adjuster is provided with a release mechanism.
A BELT WITH AN ELASTIC INSERT FOR HOLDING A BUCKLE AND A RELATED MANUFACTURING METHOD
This disclosure shows a belt with a strap made of material which is substantially not elastically extendable. However, the belt adapts itself elastically to changes in the user's waist while maintaining the external appearance of the belts with a strap made of non-extendable material, because it has an elastic insert made of an elastic material, for example in polyester, folded on itself and fixed to an end of the strap in a longitudinally opposite position to a tip of the strap of the belt, and a buckle. The elastic insert is fixed to the strap so as to retain an anchoring bar of the buckle, so that the buckle can be removed longitudinally from the stem with a traction force that overcomes the restoring force of the elastic insert. A method of manufacturing such a belt with an elastic insert, for example in polyester, is also disclosed.
SUPPORT FACILITY FOR A BINOCULAR
A support facility for a binocular has a base, the base including a tripod connection facility, a flexible strap having a first strap end connected to the base, and an opposed second strap end, a tensioner connected to the base and to the second strap end, the flexible strap, the base, and the tensioner defining an opening configured to receive a first barrel of the binocular, and the flexible strap including a length adjustment facility adjustable over a range of length adjustment positions. The length adjustment facility may be configured to provide a selected strap length based on the diameter of the first barrel. The tensioner may be configured to operate between a released position in which the length adjustment facility is removable from or movable along the flexible strap and an engaged position in which the support facility is engaged to the first barrel.
SAFETY CINCH FOR SADDLES
A safety cinch for use with a saddle. The safety cinch includes a first layer of material and a securing device connectable to a saddle connector. The safety cinch also includes a latch apparatus that can selectively engage the securing device and a wireless receiver that can send a signal to the latch apparatus to disengage from the securing device to unsecure a saddle from an animal. A method of dislodging a saddle from a horse via a remote control via the step of actuating the remote control to activate the safety cinch.
Friction stop strap adjustor
A strap adjustor including a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, an upper surface that extends between the top surface and the bottom surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface, a front surface extending between the top surface and the bottom surface and between the upper surface and the lower surface and a back surface opposite the front surface, the back surface extending between the top surface and the bottom surface and between the upper surface and the lower surface, a first through opening, between the front surface and the back surface, that extends completely through the strap adjustor, a second through opening, between the front surface and the back surface, that extends completely through the strap adjustor, and a bar separating the first through opening from the second through opening.
LOCKING BUCKLE
A locking buckle comprising a first buckle member and a second buckle member. The first buckle member may comprise a first strap-receiving slot for receiving a first loop end of a strap, the first strap-receiving slot is defined in part by a strap-retaining bar and a body of the first buckle member and a strap-locking bar pivotably attached to the body of the first buckle member, the strap-locking bar pivotable between an unlocked configuration in which a strap may freely pass through the first strap-receiving slot and a locked configuration in which a strap passing through strap-receiving slot is prevented from passing freely through the first strap-receiving slot. The second buckle member is connectable to the first buckle member. The second buckle member comprises a second strap-receiving slot for receiving a second loop end of the strap.
Flexible coupler system and methods of operation
One embodiment of the present invention relates to a releasable flexible coupling system comprising a base, a coupling member, and a sewn member. The coupling member is fixably coupled to the base across the widthwise dimension on opposite sides of the lengthwise dimension forming a recess between the base and the coupling member. The sewn member comprises a strap, a folded region, and a primary stitch. The strap includes a body and a lengthwise end. The folded region is disposed on the lengthwise end of the strap and includes a portion that overlaps the body. The primary stitch extends through both the folded region and the body of the strap. An optional stiffener may be disposed between the lengthwise end of the strap and the folded region. The primary stitch will also extend through the stiffener if present.
