Disclosed are belt adjustment systems, particularly for wearing around a user's waist, that permit a continuum of belt loop sizes or a larger selection of belt loop sizes. The belt adjustment system includes an elongate belt member having a first end, a second end and a series of teeth positioned on an inner surface near the second end and a fixation member having first and second adjustment elements.

The inventive assembly incorporates a lanyard assembly that may, in some embodiments, be attachable to badge connector to present a single, unitary connector with a stylized appearance. The ends of the lanyard ribbons are engaged in a manner that creates free space between the edges of the ribbon immediately upon exiting the connector assembly so as to impart resistance to unwanted twisting of the object held by the lanyard assembly and/or the ribbon forming part of it. The object or badge connector associated with the assembly comprises a clip, j-hook, or key ring assembly for easy attachment of a card or card holder.

The present invention relates generally to first aid articles and more specifically tourniquets suitable for one handed application. One embodiment of the invention is directed to a tourniquet having a base defining first and second ends. A constricting band is attached to and extends from the first end of the base. A windlass handle is engaged with the constricting band. The constricting band is threaded through a self cinching stepped buckle. A buckle connector includes a hook member that engages the stepped buckle and is partly held in place through urging against a loop of the constriction band.

A rotary belt buckle includes a belt fastener connection part, a belt connection part, and a spring mechanism. The belt connection part is connected with the belt fastener connection part through the spring mechanism, the belt connection part rotates around the belt fastener connection part; the belt fastener connection part has a slot, a strip unit which is located on the belt connection part tits with the slot; the belt connection part includes a cover plate and a box body, the strip unit includes an upper strip and a lower strip. The upper strip is located on the cover plate, and the lower strip is located on the box body. The upper strip is fixed with the lower strip to avoid the belt from being easily taken out of the belt buckle, to achieve a quick replacement of the belt, saving time of a user to replace the belt.

A safety belt latch structure includes a base, a locking hook member, a positioning shaft, and a press switch. The locking hook member is provided with a first locking portion. The press switch includes a push knob, a covering member, and an elastic member. The push knob has a pressing portion, a resting portion, a depression, and a second locking portion. The first locking portion is locked with the second locking portion, and received in the depression. Thus, the user only needs to press the push knob to unlock the locking hook member and to release the safety belt latch structure, such that the safety belt is released quickly. In addition, the press switch is surrounded by the base, such that the push knob will not be contacted due to impact, thereby preventing the locking hook member from being unlocked from the press switch.

An orthotic device including a frame assembly and a support structure. The frame assembly includes at least one frame having a first frame opening and a second frame opening. The support structure assembly includes at least one support structure supported by the at least one frame. The at least one support structure includes a mounting portion; a slide engagement member supported by the mounting portion configured to engage the first frame opening; and, at least one snap engagement member supported by the mounting portion configured to engage the second frame opening. The slide engagement member and the at least one snap engagement member are integrally formed with the mounting portion. In another embodiment the orthotic device includes a latch mechanism including a lever assembly, a draw bar, a chafe, a catch, and a first snap fit ledge.

A belt adjusting and holding device includes: a device body including a belt insertion part allowing insertion of a belt and an opening section communicating with the belt insertion part; and a belt folding member including a grasping part and a folding-back part to fold back the belt within the opening section. The belt folding-back member is configured to move forward and backward within the device body. Standing wall portions rising in a stepped shape are formed on the upper and lower inner wall surfaces of the belt insertion part. The belt folding-back member is formed with a protrusion, which substantially stepwisely bends the belt between the protrusions and the standing wall portions at a backward position of the belt folding-back member and release the belt at a forward position of the belt folding member.

The ends of the lanyard ribbons are engaged in a manner that creates free space between the edges of the ribbon immediately upon exiting the connector assembly so as to impart resistance to unwanted twisting of the object held by the lanyard assembly and/or the ribbon forming part of it. The object or badge connector associated with the assembly comprises a clip, j-hook, or key ring assembly for easy attachment of a card or card holder.

The Belt Ratcheting Device with Hidden Blade-IV (HB-IV) facilitates unidirectional belt fastening and fast release. The HB-IV includes a turning gate rotatably installed diagonally in a channel. The turning gate has been installed with a hidden blade which controls the belt's translation by engaging the lower belt surface to avoid visible scratches. The turning gate is connected to a lever. The HB-IV has two states: active and inactive. In the active state the device works as a belt ratchet by allowing the belt to be pulled forwards while restricting any belt motion backwards. In the inactive state the belt's motion is facilitated in both directions. The HB-IV states are manually controlled by the lever. After fastening, the belt remains fastened until released. The HB-IV can be adapted to any kind of smooth leather, cloth or synthetic belts. The blade's hidden position and smooth channel's surfaces minimize belt's wear and scratches.
