DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0061] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part hereof. The illustrative embodiments described in the detailed description, drawing, and claims are not meant to be limiting. Other embodiments may be utilized, and other changes may be made, without departing from the spirit or scope of the subject matter presented here.
[0062] Hereinafter, specific contents of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, thicknesses of lines illustrated in the drawings, sizes of constituent elements, or the like may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of description.
[0063] The terms used in the following description are defined considering the functions in the present disclosure and may vary depending on the intention or usual practice of a user or an operator. Therefore, the definition of the terms should be made based on the entire contents of the present specification.
[0064]
[0065]
[0066] The plug member 110 includes a frame 111 which has a loop shape, a cross bar 112 which traverses a lower intermediate side of the frame 111, and a hook 113 which is coupled to an intermediate portion of the cross bar 112.
[0067] The frame 111 is illustrated in the drawings as having a quadrangular loop shape, but the shape of the frame 111 is just optional.
[0068] A strap is interposed between the frame 111 and the cross bar 112. As illustrated in
[0069] Coupling protruding portions 115 are formed at both sides of the cross bar 112. The coupling protruding portion 115 may have a quadrangular cross section, and a first magnet 116 is embedded in a lower surface of the coupling protruding portion 115.
[0070] A recessed portion is formed in the intermediate portion of the cross bar 112 as the coupling protruding portions 115 are formed at both sides, and the hook 113 is installed in the recessed portion.
[0071] The hook 113 is fitted to be wound around the cross bar 112 so that the hook 113 is rotated about the cross bar 112. A tip portion of the hook 113 is elongated and inserted into a hole 130 formed in the strap S1, such that the hook 113 is fastened to the strap S1.
[0072] A catching projection 114 is formed at an intermediate portion of the hook 113. When the hook 113 is inserted into the hole 130 of the strap S1, the catching projection 114 prevents the tip portion of the hook 113 from excessively protruding while penetrating the strap S1.
[0073] The socket member 120 is formed in a thin plate shape, and a coupling groove 121 into which the coupling protruding portions 115 are inserted is formed in an upper surface of the socket member 120. A second magnet 123 is embedded in a bottom surface of the coupling groove 121.
[0074] As illustrated in
[0075] The socket member 120 is embedded at one end of a bag body B1. To this end, a circumferential edge portion of the upper surface of the socket member 120 extends outward such that a wing portion 122 may be formed. The wing portion 122 is attached to an outer sheath that defines the bag body B1.
[0076] As illustrated in
[0077] A hook groove 124, which extends toward both sides, is formed in an intermediate portion of the coupling groove 121, thereby ensuring a space which may accommodate the hook 113 that protrudes laterally when the coupling protruding portions 115 are inserted.
[0078] The movements of the coupling protruding portions 115 are prevented as the hook 113, which further protrudes laterally than the coupling protruding portions 115, is coupled to the hook groove 124 when the coupling protruding portions 115 and the hook 113 are coupled, such that a larger contact area is ensured, thereby maintaining a more stably coupled state.
[0079] That is, when an unintentional action, such as external contact, of separating the buckle occurs, a simple coupled state of the coupling groove 121 and a coupled state of the hook groove 124, which intersects the coupling groove 121, complexly act, thereby preventing abnormal withdrawal of the plug member 110.
[0080] In the present disclosure configured as described above, the socket member 120 is embedded at one end of the bag body B1, the strap S1 connected to the flap F1 is inserted into the frame 111 of the plug member 110, and the hook 113 is inserted into and connected to the hole 130.
[0081] The multiple holes 130 are formed at predetermined intervals in the strap S1, and as a result, it is possible to adjust a position of the plug member 110 by changing, as necessary, the position at which the hook 113 is coupled to the hole 130.
[0082]
[0083] The coupling protruding portions 115 of the plug member 110 are attracted and inserted into the coupling groove 121 by strong magnetic force of the first and second magnets 116 and 123 even when the plug member 110 approaches the vicinity of the socket member 120.
[0084] To separate the plug member 110 and the socket member 120, the buckle is separated as the coupling protruding portions 115 are withdrawn from the coupling groove 121 only by lifting up a free end of the strap S1 by applying small force, that is, force greater than attachment force of the first and second magnets 116 and 123.
[0085] As described above, the buckle is simply separated by lifting the plug member 110 directly upward with respect to the socket member 120 by using the tip portion of the strap S1. However, in a case in which pressure is applied in an abnormal direction, that is, in a lateral direction due to external contact, the buckle is not easily separated since the coupling protruding portions 115 are inserted into the coupling groove 121. Further, the hook groove 124 is formed to intersect the intermediate portion of the coupling groove 121, and multiple surfaces are connected to one another as the hook 113 is coupled to the hook groove 124, and as a result, the plug member and the socket member are not easily separated in the directions other than the directly upward direction.
[0086]
[0087] In addition, a circumferential edge portion 128 is formed to protrude at an outer circumferential edge of the coupling groove 121 of the socket member 120, such that the outer sheath of the bag is organized so as not to move over the coupling groove 121 when the wing portion 122 is installed in the outer sheath of the bag, and as a result, the operation may be easily and accurately performed.
[0088]
[0089] Therefore, when the coupling protruding portions 115 are inserted into the coupling groove 121, the catching protrusions 126 are caught by the catching grooves 117 of the coupling protruding portions 115 while the coupling protruding portions 115 are strongly inserted by magnetic force of the magnets, and as a result, the coupled state of the plug member 110 and the socket member 120 may be more securely maintained by magnetic force of the magnets.
[0090] An inclined surface 127 is formed on an upper surface of each of the catching protrusions 126 so that the coupling protruding portion 115 may be more easily inserted, and a curved or inclined surface may also be formed at an upper or lower end of the catching groove 117 so that the catching protrusion 126 is smoothly connected.
[0091] The coupling protruding portions 115 may be easily inserted into the coupling groove 121 by magnetic force while being guided by the inclined surfaces 127, and the plug member 110 may be separated from the socket member 120 by applying small force.
[0092] The catching protrusion 126 may also be formed on an inner surface of the coupling groove 121.
[0093] According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure as described above, a stably coupled state of the plug member 110 and the socket member 120 may be maintained, and the intended separation may be conveniently performed.
[0094]
[0095]
[0096] The plug member 210 has the same configuration as the plug member 110 according to the first exemplary embodiment. The plug member 210 includes a frame 211 which has a loop shape, a cross bar 212 which traverses a lower intermediate side of the frame 211, and a hook 213 which is coupled to an intermediate portion of the cross bar 212.
[0097] A strap is interposed between the frame 211 and the cross bar 212. As illustrated in
[0098] Coupling protruding portions 215 are formed at both sides of the cross bar 212. The coupling protruding portion 215 may have a quadrangular cross section, and a first magnet 216 is embedded in a lower surface of the coupling protruding portion 215.
[0099] A recessed portion is formed in the intermediate portion of the cross bar 212 as the coupling protruding portions 215 are formed at both sides, and the hook 213 is installed in the recessed portion.
[0100] The hook 213 is fitted to be wound around the cross bar 212 so that the hook 213 is rotated about the cross bar 212. A tip portion of the hook 213 is elongated and inserted into a hole 230 formed in the strap S2, such that the hook 213 is fastened to the strap S2.
[0101] A catching projection 214 is formed at an intermediate portion of the hook 213. When the hook 213 is inserted into the hole 230 of the strap S2, the catching projection 214 prevents the tip portion of the hook 213 from excessively protruding while penetrating the strap S2.
[0102] The socket member 220 is formed in a thin plate shape. Four guide protruding portions 225 protrude from an upper surface of the socket member 220 so as to be spaced apart from one another, such that a coupling groove 221 is formed between the guide protruding portions 225.
[0103] A hook groove 224, which intersects, at a right angle, an intermediate portion of the coupling groove 221, is formed in the intermediate portion of the coupling groove 221, such that a + shaped groove is provided as a whole.
[0104] That is, the coupling groove 221 is formed as the surface of the socket member 220 protrudes.
[0105] The coupling protruding portions 215 of the plug member 210 are inserted into the coupling groove 221, and a second magnet 223 is embedded in a bottom surface of the coupling groove 221.
[0106] Further, the hook 213, which protrudes laterally, is accommodated in the hook groove 224 when the coupling protruding portions 215 of the plug member 210 are inserted.
[0107] As illustrated in
[0108] As illustrated in
[0109] The socket member 220 is embedded at one end of a bag body B2. To this end, a circumferential edge portion of the upper surface of the socket member 220 is formed to have a flat surface and extends to form a wing portion 222. The wing portion 222 is attached to an outer sheath that defines the bag body B2.
[0110] As illustrated in
[0111] The movements of the coupling protruding portions 215 are prevented as the hook 213, which further protrudes laterally than the coupling protruding portions 215, is coupled to the hook groove 224 when the coupling protruding portions 215 and the hook 213 are coupled. Further, the coupling protruding portions 215 are prevented from being withdrawn laterally from the coupling groove 221 opened laterally, thereby maintaining a more stably coupled state.
[0112] That is, when an unintentional action, such as external contact, of separating the buckle occurs, a drawback of the coupling groove 221 opened laterally is solved since the hook 213 is coupled to the hook groove 224 which extends while intersecting the intermediate portion of the coupling groove 221, thereby preventing abnormal withdrawal of the plug member 210.
[0113] In the present disclosure configured as described above, the socket member 220 is embedded at one end of the bag body B2, the strap S2 connected to the flap F2 is inserted into the frame 211 of the plug member 210, and the hook 213 is inserted into and connected to the hole 230.
[0114] The multiple holes 230 are formed at predetermined intervals in the strap S2, and as a result, it is possible to adjust a position of the plug member 210 by changing, as necessary, the position at which the hook 213 is coupled to the hole 230.
[0115] The buckle according to the present disclosure is coupled as the plug member 210 installed on the strap S2 is coupled directly to the socket member 220, and the coupling protruding portions 215 of the plug member 210 are strongly attached and coupled to the coupling groove 221 of the socket member 220 by magnetic force of the first and second magnets 216 and 223 while being inserted into the coupling groove 221 of the socket member 220.
[0116] The coupling protruding portions 215 of the plug member 210 are attracted and inserted into the coupling groove 221 by strong magnetic force of the first and second magnets 216 and 223 even when the plug member 210 approaches the vicinity of the socket member 220.
[0117] Here, an upper end portion of each of the guide protruding portions 225 may be formed to have a curved surface so that the coupling protruding portion 215 is smoothly inserted.
[0118] To separate the plug member 210 and the socket member 220, the buckle is separated as the coupling protruding portions 215 are withdrawn from the coupling groove 221 only by lifting up a free end of the strap S2 by applying small force, that is, force greater than attachment force of the first and second magnets 216 and 223.
[0119] As described above, the buckle is simply separated by lifting the plug member 210 directly upward with respect to the socket member 220 by using the tip portion of the strap S2. However, in a case in which pressure is applied in an abnormal direction, that is, in a lateral direction due to external contact, the plug member and the socket member are not easily separated in the directions other than the directly upward direction since the coupling protruding portions 215 and the hook 213 are in contact with the guide protruding portions 225 in all directions.
[0120]
[0121] Therefore, when the coupling protruding portions 215 are inserted into the coupling groove 221, the catching protrusions 226 are caught by the catching grooves 217 of the coupling protruding portions 215 while the coupling protruding portions 115 are strongly inserted by magnetic force of the magnets, and as a result, the coupled state of the plug member 210 and the socket member 220 may be more securely maintained by magnetic force of the magnets.
[0122] An inclined surface 227 is formed on an upper surface of each of the catching protrusions 226 so that the coupling protruding portion 215 may be more easily inserted, and a curved or inclined surface may also be formed at an upper or lower end of the catching groove 217 so that the catching protrusion 226 is smoothly connected.
[0123] The coupling protruding portions 215 may be easily inserted into the coupling groove 221 by magnetic force while being guided by the inclined surfaces 227, and the plug member 210 may be separated from the socket member 220 by applying small force.
[0124] According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure as described above, a stably coupled state of the plug member 210 and the socket member 220 may be maintained, and the intended separation may be conveniently performed.
[0125] The present disclosure described and illustrated above is not intended as being limited to the exemplary embodiments, and the present disclosure may be applied and modified in various forms without departing from the subject matter of the present disclosure. For example, according to the present disclosure, the shape of the coupling protruding portion, the shape of the coupling groove, and the number and shape of the guide protruding portion may be arbitrarily selected as necessary.
[0126] From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that various embodiments of the present disclosure have been described herein for purposes of illustration, and that various modifications may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the various embodiments disclosed herein are not intended to be limiting, with the true scope and spirit being indicated by the following claims.
