In one embodiment, a collar attachment comprising a disk having a first collar band loop integrally formed with the disk along a first arcuate perimeter portion of the disk and a second collar band loop integrally formed with the disk along a second arcuate perimeter portion of the disk that is opposite the first arcuate perimeter portion of the disk; a keyhole in the disk; friction attachment means formed in an underside of the disk and configured to receive at least a first tab of an attached device and to snugly hold the first tab against the underside of the disk after rotation of the attached device in the keyhole.

A coupling device comprising arranged in two opposing walls of a box-like enclosure, two flexible tabs from which two raised portions which act against each other protrude inward, one of which is adapted to engage a rigid laminar element to be inserted between the two flexible tabs while the other, after the coupling, can be pushed manually in order to move the coupled raised portion and release the rigid laminar element to be removed.

A noise dampening tongue assembly for use as part of a seat belt restraining system includes a base plate, a cover material, and a soft touch material. The base plate has a surface with a lower portion for engagement with a clamping member and an upper portion with a slot through which a belt webbing extends. The lower portion defines a bottom perimeter for the tongue assembly. The cover material contacts the base plate, such that it defines at least a portion of a top perimeter, a front-side, and a back-side of the tongue assembly. The soft touch material contacts the surface of the cover material, such that the soft touch material defines at least a portion of a right perimeter and left perimeter of the tongue assembly and extends horizontally across the surface of the cover material to connect the soft touch material located at right and left perimeters.

A snap coupling system for pieces or metallic or non metallic coupling members, that require to be attached perpendicularly in a T fashion, in a cross + fashion or angularly, by which a tubular male coupling member having one or more retention tabs that are temporally flexed, enters in slots or receiving apertures of another piece or female coupling member, tubular or planar, where they engage, by which they can be readily attached two tubular members or one tubular member and one planar member, in a perpendicular way, in a cross fashion or angularly, without the necessity of using skilled labor.

A buckle assembly includes at least one socket to receive and retain at least one lug therein, and an emergency release arrangement. The emergency release arrangement is operable to release the at least one lug from the socket in response to a predetermined trigger signal. The assembly also includes a manually operable resetting arrangement that is operable to retain the lug(s) re-inserted into the socket(s), following the triggering of the emergency release arrangement.

A buckle includes: a plug; and a socket into which the plug is inserted for engagement. The plug includes: a base; a leg that projects from the base and is elastically deformable in a direction intersecting with an insertion direction of the plug; and an engaging portion that is continuous with the leg and projects from the leg in a thickness direction of the plug. The socket includes an engaged portion engageable with the engaging portion and a guide portion guiding the engaging portion to the engaged portion. A thickness of a portion of the leg continuous with the engaging portion is smaller than a thickness of a base end of the leg. A thickness of a portion of the guide portion continuous with the engaging portion is larger than a thickness of a base end of the guide portion.
