The invention herein relates to a buckle assembly with one or more insertable and/or attachable pieces that are suitable for the sharpening of various tools, such as knives. The buckle assembly may have a first sharpening insert that is composed primarily of tungsten carbide. The first sharpening insert may be affixed to the top of the buckle assembly. Alternatively, the first sharpening insert may be removably attached to the buckle assembly through various methods. The sharpening insert may be used to sharpen the edge of a tool. The buckle assembly is also composed of a front face that may have a second fine sharpening face. The fine sharpening face may be composed of a diamond grit plate. The fine sharpening face may be removably attached to the buckle assembly in a similar fashion to the sharpening insert. Alternatively, the fine sharpening face may be coated with sharpening material, such as a diamond grit coating, so as to not be removable from the buckle assembly as a whole. The buckle assembly also has a back face. The back face may also have a fine sharpening face in addition to or in alternative to the front face being a fine sharpening face.

Two methods to attach a webbing or ribbon to a quick release buckle, and a quick release buckle for the use of the two methods are disclosed. Quick release buckles are designed to be used with webbing that is sewn to be attached to the quick release buckle, but for this invention two methods that do not require a sewing process are disclosed. One method uses a knot, and the other method uses a melted-solidified-end made on the webbing or ribbon using a melting method such as a flame or a hot iron or an ultrasonic welder.

A buckle assembly includes a first frame member defining a first slot, which includes a first open end positioned at a first side of the first frame member and which includes a first closed end positioned spaced apart from a second side of the first frame member; a second frame member defining a second slot, which includes a second open end positioned at a second side of the second frame member and a second closed end positioned spaced apart from a first side of the second frame member, wherein one of the first or second frame members has a pivot member upon which the first and second frame members are rotatable relative to one another; and a third frame member defining at least two slots which extend through the third frame member and is configured to position within a recess defined within the second frame member.

A belt buckle and knife assembly for converting a belt buckle into a self defense weapon includes a buckle that has a first portion is hingedly coupled to a second portion. The buckle is positionable in a folded position or an unfolded position. A belt is removably attachable to extend between each of the first portion and the second portion of the buckle for wearing around the user's waist. A knife is pivotally integrated into the buckle and the knife is positionable between a stored position and a deployed position. A catch is movably integrated into the second portion of the buckle and the catch retains the knife in either the stored position of the deployed position.

Various embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to a buckle assembly for sharpening a cutting tool. A quick release buckle assembly is provided including: a male buckle component having a pair of resiliently flexible legs and a sharpener receiver disposed between the pair of resiliently flexible legs; a female buckle component having a socket portion configured to receive the pair of resiliently flexible legs and the sharpener receiver disposed between the pair of resiliently flexible legs; and a first sharpening rod having a first sharpening edge and a second sharpening rod having a second sharpening edge.

A belt has a strap. A detachable buckle is attached to a first end of the strap. The detachable buckle has a base. A cutout is formed on a front surface of the base. A removable is faceplate inserted and held within the cutout. A ratchet mechanism secures a second end of the strap within the detachable buckle.

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.

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.

The present invention provides a strap adjustment device for connecting with a body of a mask. The strap adjustment device comprises a female element, an elastic strap, and a regulating device. The female element is disposed on one side of the body of the mask and has an opening and a slot. The elastic strap has a male element and an adjusting end portion, which is opposite to the male element. The male element has a shape which is substantially corresponding to the female element. The regulating device is connected to the adjusting end portion. When the strap adjustment device is assembled with the body of the mask, the adjusting end portion passes through the opening and the slot before passing through the regulating device in an adjustable manner and being engaged in place by the regulating device. The male element is located in and positioned in the opening.
