A buckle having linear engagement and disengagement activation. The buckle includes a body having a hollow sleeve portion defining a through passage extending between a proximal opening and a distal opening. Lateral openings are disposed along opposing sides of the sleeve portion. A depressible button is held in reciprocating relation within the distal opening. A male latch member having a pair of legs is adapted to be inserted into the proximal opening for locking engagement of the legs behind tabs within the sleeve portion. The latch member is releasable upon depression of the button.

An adjustable-length tensile member, for example, a strap for a wearable pack, can include a fastener member defining first and second apertures and a cross-member positioned therebetween. A strap can extend through the first aperture in a first direction, over the cross-member and through the second aperture in a direction opposite to the first direction. A cover plate can matingly engage with the fastener member to obscure a segment of the strap from view. Wearable packs can incorporate such adjustable-length tensile members. Methods for assembling such adjustable-length tensile members are also disclosed.

An exchangeable belt buckle that allows the user to change the belt configuration as well as belt color. It also allows for the buckle to be interchangeable. The ability to reconfigure the belt and the buckle gives the user nearly unlimited fashionable appearances.

The disclosed device enhances the aesthetic appearance of a belt when worn by a person with a pelvic tilt. The device works by changing the angle of the belt buckle to ensure proper orientation of the belt buckle. The device ensures proper orientation by securing a wedge to a belt in a position behind the buckle. The wedge pushes the bottom of the belt buckle out, counteracting downturn of the buckle caused by pelvic tilt.

A multifunctional belt comprising an elongate belt strap having an end flap segment selectively transitional relative to a body segment between a looped configuration and an extended configuration. A fastener is coupled to the belt strap for securing the end flap segment in the looped configuration. A buckle is coupled to the belt strap and includes a buckle frame, a cross bar, and at least one tool bit. The buckle frame defines a longitudinal frame axis, and the cross bar extends between opposed portions of the buckle frame and defines cross bar axis that is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal frame axis. The tool bit is pivotally coupled to the cross bar and is pivotable about the cross bar axis. The tool bit is sized and positioned to be captured between the end flap segment and the body segment when the end flap segment is in the looped configuration.

An exchangeable belt buckle that allows the user to change the belt configuration as well as belt color. It also allows for the buckle to be interchangeable. The ability to reconfigure the belt and the buckle gives the user nearly unlimited fashionable appearances.

Provided is a buckle including a plug member and a socket member, wherein the plug member includes lock arms and a guide rod located at a middle position between the lock arms, and the socket member includes a holder formed in a chamber so as to catch the lock arm. The guide rod is provided on the front end thereof with a holding member, and the socket member is centrally provided with a guide groove for the coupling of the guide rod and is also provided with a holding protrusion for the coupling of the holding member. As such, in addition to the coupling between the lock arm and the holder, another coupling structure is provided so as to prevent the buckle from being easily unfastened by unintentional external contact or pressure while ensuring convenient separation of the buckle with one hand as needed.

A closure element for a fire-protection sleeve is disclosed. The closure element has a body, a connecting element, and at least one locking element for a form-fitting connection to an intumescent strip. The body and the connecting element are designed in one piece.

The present invention is related to monitoring movement, and in particular to systems and methods for securing a monitoring device to a monitor target.

A buckle which includes a socket and a plug. The socket includes: a cylindrical main body; a hollow part formed within the main body; a pair of left and right openings continuous to the hollow part and penetrating through wall parts of the main body; and a pair of left and right first latch surfaces defined on opening-side wall surfaces of the wall parts of the main body and inclined in a direction intersecting with an insertion direction of the plug. The plug includes: a base; arms; and a pair of left and right second latch surfaces protruding outward from outer sides of the arms and inclined in the direction intersecting with the insertion direction of the plug.
