A buckle assembly and a harness including the buckle assembly. The buckle assembly includes a male buckle and a female buckle removably coupled to the male buckle. The male buckle includes a catch and a first adjustment member extending from the catch. The first adjustment member defines a plurality of first slots therethrough, such that each first slot is configured to movably receive a first webbing therethrough. The female buckle includes a main body and a second adjustment member extending from the main body. The main body is configured to at least partially receive the catch therein. The second adjustment member defines a plurality of second slots therethrough, such that each second slot is configured to movably receive a second webbing therethrough.

A neckwear includes a neckband, a neckband module and one or more torso segments connected by fasteners. The neckwear may include a plurality of pivoting, intra-changeable, metallic torso segments. Also provided are improved take-apart fasteners and improved quick-release buckles, for use in neckwear, jewelry, wristwatches and watchbands or for otherwise securing objects.

An article adapted to be positioned on a user's body includes a compartment, a female connector, and a strap. The compartment includes a top, bottom, front, and rear. The female connector is coupled to the top of the compartment and includes a first receptacle opening toward the front of the compartment, and a second receptacle opening toward the rear of the compartment. The strap includes a first end with a male connector and a second end coupled to the bottom of the compartment. The male connector is removably coupleable to the first receptacle, where the strap is oriented on the front of the compartment so that, when worn, the front faces the body of the user. The male connector is also removably coupleable to the second receptacle, where the strap is oriented on the rear of the compartment so that, when worn, the rear faces the body of the user.

A closure device for releasably connecting two parts. The closure device includes a first closure part and a second closure part, wherein for closing the closure device the first closure part is attachable to the second closure part and in a closed position is held at the second closure part, a first engaging protrusion of the first closure part and a second engaging protrusion of the second closure part, wherein for closing the first engaging protrusion can be brought in engagement with the second engaging protrusion in an engagement direction and in the closed position positively is in engagement with the second engaging protrusion, and a blocking element arranged at the second closure part. Between the first closure part and the second closure part a magnetic mechanism acts, which is formed to support the attachment of the first closure part to the second closure part by providing a force of magnetic attraction.

An accessibility-enhanced instant locking fastener system comprising of a cylindrical tongue and a catch with funnel-shaped opening, enabling easy insertion and pushing for locking, without precise alignment or directional orientation. The omni-directional locking clasp system, a typical use of which may be for seat belt buckling systems, are configured so that the once the tip of the tongue meets the opening of the hole in the clasp, latching can be accomplished by simply pushing the tongue into the funnel-shaped opening without the necessity to precise directional alignment unlike the flat tongue plates of locking buckles typically found in conventional seat belt harnesses.

A buckle assembly may include a first connection member, and a second connection member configured to receive at least a portion of the first connection member in order to removably connect the first connection member to the second connection member. The second connection member includes an outer frame defining a central opening that is configured to allow monitoring of alignment and connection between the first and second connection members.

A buckle assembly is configured to securely attach to a component and may include a buckle housing and a securing member. The buckle housing may include a first connecting protuberance or first protuberance-retaining structure, and a second connecting protuberance or the second protuberance-retaining structure. The securing member may include the other of the first connecting protuberance or the first protuberance-retaining structure, and the other of the second connecting protuberance or the second protuberance-retaining structure. The first protuberance-retaining structure is configured to slidably receive the first connecting protuberance in a sliding direction. The second protuberance-retaining structure is configured to securely retain the second connecting protuberance so that the buckle housing is secured with respect to the securing member.

A device for releasably connecting a first element with a second element includes a male element connectable to one end of the first element, and a female element connectable to one end of the second element such that the male and female element pass from a disengagement condition to a mutual engagement condition. A slider activates and deactivates engagement and is engaged to the male element such to slide along the axis of insertion of the male element inside the female element. The relative motion between the activation/deactivation slider and the male element is transmitted to first removable locking members, belonging to the male element and cooperating with corresponding second locking members belonging to the female element, such to pass from a stable locking condition to a stable release condition of the male and female elements via a movement of the slider along the axis of insertion.
