Ring and Wing Buckle is a new kind of fastener, which may be used to connect lose ends of belts, cords, wires, ropes, chains and the like in luggage, garment, fashion, jewelry, footwear, sports gear, construction, sailing, Recreation and similar fields of endeavor. It can be made in any size and of variety of materials like plastics, metals or wood, using flat, cut out slices layered together or as a solid body, using 3D printing, injection molding or casting. Flat and symmetrical body, allows multiple buckles to be layered together to form buckle hubs for harnesses.

An locking/unlocking device for a car seat belt that enables the driver and the passengers to get released from its operation in a situation of occurrence of a sudden event. The car seat belt release device has a clasp element and a body, releasably interconnected, and one of the two has slots and a channel, while the other one of the two has a base and a core, in the middle of which a shank opening is arranged, and shoulders at its both sides. When the body is assembled with the clasp element, in through holes with bolt recesses, as well as in locking openings with bolt tunnels, locking pins with bolts are positioned, wherein each bolt is maintained within a bolt ledge, causing thus pressing of a compression spring in a bottom section of the locking opening.

A buckle includes a plug and a socket, the plug and the socket each being attached to a predetermined member and being capable of being connected to and disconnected from each other. The plug includes an attachment portion configured to be attached to the predetermined member and a pair of leg portions extending in the same direction from the attachment portion. An engagement portion is formed at each leg portion. Each leg portion is bent at a plurality of bending points between the attachment portion and the engagement portion in an extending direction of each leg portion. A U-shaped bridge is provided on inner side surfaces of the pair of leg portions, the inner side surfaces facing each other at vicinities of respective distal end portions of the pair of leg portions, the U-shaped bridge connecting vicinities of the respective distal end portions.

An example buckle assembly includes a body and a latch. The body includes an integral whistle portion. The latch is configured to snapably mate with the body.

A buckle includes a tab having a first side opposed to a second side and a receiver having a first side opposed to a second side. A first pair of pawls is pivotally connected to the first side of the tab. A cavity is defined in the receiver between the first and second sides of the receiver and configured to receive the first and second sides of the tab. The first pair of pawls has a locked position in which the first pair of pawls is engaged with the receiver to prevent movement of the tab with respect to the receiver and a released position in which the first pair of pawls permits movement of the tab with respect to the receiver. A first button on the first side of the receiver has a released position that moves the first pair of pawls to the released position.

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.

A connector is described having a female part defining a recess, a male part including a section receivable within the recess of the female part, and a lock pin insertable into an opening provided in the female part. The lock pin is engageable with the section of the male part when the male part is located within the recess to retain the male part within the recess. The female part is provided, around a periphery of the opening, with a stabilizing recess. The lock pin includes a feature receivable within the stabilizing recess, engageable with a base of the stabilizing recess to limit the distance by which the lock pin can be inserted into the opening.

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.

A fastener having two strap ends connected by an elastomeric member is described. The elastomeric member has sufficient elasticity to allow a user to increase the distance of separation between the two strap ends by applying a tension force, while providing enough tension to return the two strap ends to close proximity when the user releases the tension force. The elastomeric member may also have an adjustable elasticity to accommodate different applications with different load forces.
