A fastening system for an object (e.g., a wearable such as footwear) is disclosed that includes a buckle assembly and a strap for adjusting tension. The buckle assembly includes a base and a slider engaged with the base. The strap includes an array of teeth to engage with a pawl formed on the base. The fastening system is configurable between an engaged condition and a released condition based on the positioning of the slider relative to the base.

An adjustment system comprises a strap and an adjustment buckle configured to adjust the strap. The adjustment buckle comprises a body defining a first through hole and a second through hole extending over the thickness of the body. A partitioning wall is fixed to the body. The partitioning wall separates the first through hole and the second through hole in a first direction perpendicular to the thickness of the body. The strap makes a loop inside the body and passes round the partitioning wall. A cover is fixed to the body and installed facing the partitioning wall. The cover and the partitioning wall are separated by a larger distance than the thickness of the strap.

A securing strap having at least two strap securing interfaces that functions in combination with a ratcheting device. The strap has a first end, a second end, an inner surface, an outer surface, an upper edge, and a lower edge. The first end of the strap is looped around a strap attachment rod on the ratcheting device and extends back over a section of the strap allowing the two strap sections to be attached. At intervals along the two attached strap sections, attachment means are used to create openings, into which the at least two strap securing intervals and at least one strap securing member are inserted when securing an object. Once the strap is inserted through the ratcheting device, the two securing interfaces and the at least one securing member, the strap remains in place securing the object even if the ratcheting device fails.

The present invention discloses a belt buckle assembly and a weightlifting belt, and belongs to the technical field of belts. The belt buckle assembly according to the present invention comprises a belt buckle base plate, a pin shaft member, a ratchet wheel and a handle ratchet which fit each other, and a swing handle housing, wherein the swing handle housing is rotatably mounted on the belt buckle base plate through the pin shaft member; the handle ratchet is rotatably supported and mounted on the swing handle housing; the ratchet wheel is provided with a center hole and is sleeved on the pin shaft member through the center hole; and the ratchet wheel is provided with an unlocking slot. The belt buckle assembly further comprises a ratchet wheel unlocking mechanism, wherein the ratchet wheel unlocking mechanism comprises an unlocking assembly, which can move axially or radially along the pin shaft member.

A tourniquet for application to a patient's limb in an emergency situation, and a method for its application. The tourniquet includes a tension-sensing mechanism used to establish a baseline tension in a loop around an injured limb, and a tension-increasing mechanism to reduce the circumference of the loop and tighten the tourniquet as required beyond the baseline tension. The tension-sensing mechanism may be incorporated in a buckle in which when sufficient tension is developed in the loop a pin protrudes to engage and maintain tension in a strap member which is part of the loop. A latch may be incorporated in the buckle to keep it in a condition in which the pin protrudes to engage the strap and maintain the baseline tension. A release tab operable to release the latch is located where it is protected against inadvertent operation.

A fastening system for an object (e.g., a wearable such as footwear) is disclosed that includes a buckle assembly and a strap for adjusting tension. The buckle assembly includes a base and a slider engaged with the base. The strap includes an array of teeth to engage with a pawl formed on the base. The fastening system is configurable between an engaged condition and a released condition based on the positioning of the slider relative to the base.

A lace tensioning device includes a housing component having an interior region, a first aperture, and a second aperture, and a spool component that is rotatably positionable within the interior region of the housing component. The spool component has a central cylindrical member and a lumen that extends through the central cylindrical portion. The spool component is rotatable within the interior region of the housing component to align one end of the lumen with the first aperture and to align an opposite end of the lumen with the second aperture to enable a lace to be inserted through the first aperture, the lumen, and the second aperture so that opposing ends of the lace are positioned exterior to the housing component. A knot may then be tied in the lace and the lace retracted to couple the lace with the housing component and spool component.

A tensioner with retractable handle is provided, including a sheet metal base and a sheet metal handle. The sheet metal base is provided with a centre shaft in the middle thereon, the sheet metal handle includes a tightening part and a handle. A bottom of the tightening part is rotatably connected to the middle of the sheet metal base, an inner side of the tightening part is slidably connected with an upper baffle, and a bottom of the upper baffle is connected with two lower tongue parts. A rear end of the sheet metal base is provided with a lower baffle and a lower connecting plate, and the lower connecting plate is interlocked with the lower baffle. An inner side of a front of the sheet metal base is connected with a spring retaining plate, which is used to stop the gear from reversing and prevent the webbing from retracting.
