Detachable clasp
A clasp includes a base member with a first magnetic element and a detachable member with a second magnetic element. The first magnetic element is positioned within a lateral groove in the base member and the second magnetic element is position on a tongue of the detachable member. A first cleat in the base member engages second cleat on the tongue when the tongue is secured in a seated position within the lateral groove. The magnetic elements bias the tongue into the seated position within the lateral groove in response to positioning the second cleat over the first cleat and then moving the second magnetic element into proximity with the first magnetic element. The detachable member may be detached from the base member by applying a lateral force that overcomes friction between the members and magnetic forces between the magnetic elements to slide the tongue laterally through the lateral groove.
Consumer product attachment systems having locking or expansion characteristics
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a locking assembly for an attachment system of a consumer product. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an attachment unit that is configured to be inserted and removed from a housing of a consumer product. The attachment unit and/or the housing include an expansion component or other such locking assembly configured to releasably secure the attachment unit within the housing.
TONGUE FOR A SEAT BELT
A plug-in tongue for a seatbelt includes a plug-in tongue component (10) and a clamping member (12) mounted thereto, wherein a belt guide passage (30) is delimited between the plug-in tongue component (10) and the clamping member (12), and the clamping member (12) comprises a center part (18) and two lateral parts (20) extending from the two ends of the center part (18) transversely to the latter. The plug-in tongue is characterized in that the center part (18) includes a central guide surface (32) located between the two lateral parts (20), and the two lateral parts (20) include lateral guide surfaces (34) facing each other, the guide surfaces (32, 34) constituting limitations of the belt guide passage (30).
ANCHOR DEVICE
In an anchor device, a communication hole in which a webbing pass-through portion and a pin insertion portion communicate with each other is provided at a plate, a webbing passed through the webbing pass-through portion is coupled to the plate, and a mounting pin is inserted into the pin insertion portion. Here, a narrowing portion of the plate narrows the width of communication between the webbing pass-through portion and the pin insertion portion. For this reason, the mounting pin can be inhibited from contacting the webbing when the mounting pin is inserted into the pin insertion portion.
Buckle with pull ring
A buckle assembly has a main body with a first hook element facing a rear end, and an actuation button disposed in a cavity of the main body. The actuation button is connected to the main body by a spring so that the actuation button can move between an extended resting position and a compressed position. The actuation button has a second hook element on a bottom surface and which faces the front end of the main body. A pull ring is connected to the main body and actuation button by fitting the pull ring around the first hook element, pressing the actuation button, pivoting the actuation button and main body until the second hook element is disposed within a central aperture of the pull ring, and releasing the actuation button so that the pull ring is retained in the hook elements under pressure by the spring.
MAGNETIC BUCKLING ASSEMBLY
A magnetic buckling assembly includes a male buckling component, a female buckling component, a first locking portion, a second locking portion, an operating component, a first magnetic component, a second magnetic component and a clearance structure. The first magnetic component magnetically attracts the second magnetic component for preventing separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component or magnetically repulses the second magnetic component for promoting the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component when the operating component is operated to disengage the first locking portion from the second locking portion for allowing the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component. The clearance structure allows the second locking portion to slide an offsetting position for preventing the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component after engagement of the first locking portion and the second locking portion.
TAMPER GUARD
Provided is a tamper guard for a child safety seat. The tamper guard comprises an upper portion configured as a hollow prism or cylinder, and a lower portion connected to the upper portion. The lower portion is comprised of a quadrilateral top face having an opening of similar cross-section to the hollow prism or cylinder, and an integral retainer located below the quadrilateral top face. The lower portion is configured to receive a buckle of the child safety seat within a space defined by the quadrilateral top face and the retainer. The retainer is configured to retain the buckle with in the space. Additionally, the upper portion and the lower portion cooperate to form a continuous opening from a distal opening of the hollow prism or cylinder to the opening of the top face, the continuous opening configured to display and allow access to a quick release mechanism.
Child care equipment with seat
Child care equipment with a seat can include a seat part forming an accommodating space for accommodating an infant. It can further include a crotch strap extending between thighs of the infant seated in the seat part and a pair of waist straps that restrains a waist of the infant. The child care equipment can also include a buckle connecting the crotch strap and the pair of waist straps. The buckle can include a pair of engaging members that are connected to the pair of waist straps. The buckle can also include an engaged member connected to the crotch strap. The engaging member can include a first magnet. The engaged member can include a second magnet that magnetically attracts the first magnet of the engaging member.
BUCKLE DEVICE
A buckle device into which a tongue plate provided on a seat belt of a vehicle is to be inserted, and which detachably engages with the inserted tongue plate. The buckle device includes a hollow buckle body, an operating member configured to be operated in response to a release operation for releasing engagement between the tongue plate and the buckle device, the operating member being supported, in the buckle body, to be slidable in an insertion direction of the tongue plate, and an inertia member supported, in the buckle body, to be rotatable about a rotation center axis extending in a width direction of the tongue plate.
Attachment system for an electronic device
A removable module and a housing for an attachment system of a consumer product is described. The removable module includes a locking mechanism comprising a first portion having a substantially planar top surface and second portion that comprises a substantially non-planar bottom surface. The first portion and the second portion are coupled together. The locking mechanism also includes a first spring mechanism coupled between the first portion and the second portion. The first spring mechanism causes the first portion to be biased away from the second portion. The locking mechanism also includes a second spring mechanism. The second spring mechanism causes the substantially planar top surface of the first portion to be biased substantially flush with respect to the removable module and also causes the substantially non-planar bottom surface of the second portion to be biased proud with respect to the removable module.
