@ZW/M United States Patent O BUCKLE ASSEMBLY Bernard R. Silver, Providence, RJ., assigner to Rau Fastener Company, Providence, RJ., a corporation of Rhode Island Filed Feb. 13, 1958, Ser. No. 715,016
8 Claims. (Cl. 24-170) The invention relates to improvements in a bucklestrap assembly and is particularly concerned with the novel construction of a band or clip adapted to secure one end of a strap looped to a buckle frame and having novel means for cooperating with the other or free end of the strap, when said other end is threaded through the buckle frame, to resist relative movement in one direction.
Some known buckle-strap combinations of the general character of the present disclosure include a buckle frame having a serrated strap engaging slide jaw thereon or having a tongue pivotally mounted on the center bar thereof for passagethrough one of a series of holes performed in the free end of the strap. In either instance, the strapv is secured to the buckle by being looped over the centerbar and then stitched or riveted. In the instance of ya tongue-buckle, the attached end of the strap is slotted to permit extension of the tongue therethrough. Either form above described is costly to manufacture and assemble, and in the instance of a tongue-buckle, adjustment of the strap is determined by the spacing of the tongue-receiving holes therein, consequently adjustment in small increments is not possible.
Another instance of prior known structures has a central bar formed with integral teeth or protuberances which are engageable with the free end portion of the strap threaded through the buckle frame. That structure, however, is also objectionable because of the need to provide openings in the end of the strap looped over the central bar for the projection of the teeth therethrough.
The invention disclosed in the accompanying drawings is concerned primarily with an assembly including a novel band or clip to secure a strap end to a buckle frame in a simple and eicient manner, inexpensively. The clip consists of a strip of shape-retaining bendable material formed into a flat split loop or band adapted to embrace complemental portions of a strap looped around the center bar on a buckle frame for attaching the buckle frame to the strap. The clip includes an angularly disposed flange or lip having serrations or teeth on its free edge which engage in a complemental portion of the strap when the free end of said strap is threaded, in a conventional manner, through the buckle frame so as to resist withdrawal of said free end portion when the strap is tensioned while in use. The inter-association of the parts is such that the engaged free end of the strap can be easily and quickly disengaged manually. Furthermore, the instant construction includes novel means to anchor the clip to the looped end of the strap in such manner as to prevent its tearing out. This is of particular importance when the strap consists of plastic or woven fabric material.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a novel buckle-strap assembly of the character herein disclosed.
Another object is to provide novel means to secure a looped` strap to a buckle frame.
Another object is to provide a novel buckle-strap asice sembly with novel means to facilitate incremental adjustment of the free end of the strap easily and quickly.
With the foregoing and such other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention 4consists of certain novel features of construction, arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that various changes in form, proportion, size and minor details of the structure may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawings in which the same characters of reference are employed to identify corresponding parts:
Fig. l is a fragmentary perspective view of a buckle and strap assembly embodying the features of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken substantially on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a plan View of the looped end of the strap, showing a portion of the attached buckle frame broken away. l
Fig. 4 is a back View of the attached end of the strap and buckle frame.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the clip or band.
Referring to lthe accompanying drawings, the buckle 1l illustrated, comprises a substantially rectangular one- 'piece frame includ-ing side rails l2, connecting end bars 13 `and a central or cross b-ar 14 parallel to the end bars and connected at its ends to the side rails l1. The buckle may be flat or curved, as shown, and it has spaces 15 through which the free end portion 16 of a belt or strap 17 may be threaded.
The other end portion 18 of the strap is looped overY the center bar 14 of the buckle frame and is secured by means of a clip or band 19. As shown, when attaching the buckle frame to the strap end 18, said strap end is threaded from the rear side of the buckle frame through one of the spaces 15, over said central bar 14 and then rearwardly through the other space 15 into Overlapping relation with the main portion of the strap. The band or clip 19 preferably is formed from a strip of thin shape-retaining bendable sheet material, preferably metal. It includes a substantially rectangular body portion 21 and side wings 22 which, when folded substantially into the shape best illustrated in Fig.' 5, extend inwardly toward each other over one face of the body portion 2,1. The clip is tted over the overlapping portions of the strap closely adjacent to the central lbar 14 either before or after folding of the wings 22 and said band then is pressed firmly therearound'to prevent separation of saidoverlapped strapV portions,
In order to insure a sufficiently rm mounting for the buckle frame, and one that will not tear out readily, the opposed free edges of the wings 22are cut atan angle so as to diverge, as shown, and said edges are folded inwardly downwardly to define edge anges 2 3 which are serrated, as at 24. When the band is mounted, the anges 23 are substantially embedded inthe material of the strap. vThe diverging arrangement of saidanges results in distribution of the points of contact ofthe serrations along other than lines parallel tothe length of the strap. Weakening of the strap materialv resulting from its penetration by the serrationsk is minimized because of this non-alignment. This is particularly important when the strap consists of webbing or other Woven material or plastic.
When the band 19 is in place, the body portion 21 thereof is disposed toward the buckle frame, as shown. The free edge lof said body portion furthest from the central bar 14 is formed with an outwardly inclined tlange 2S having Serrations 26 on its edge. These serrations 26 are adapted to cooperate with the free endportiony 16 of the strap when the latter is threaded through the buckle frame substantially in the manner shown in Figs. l and 2. As there illustrated, the free end portion 16 of the strap is engaged by the serrations 26 in the area of one of the overlying end bars 13 of the buckle frame so that, when the strap is tensioned in use, the serrations 26 embed themselves in the engaged strap portion and prevent withdrawal of said portion in a direction to loosen or unfasten the strap. The degree of engagement of the serrations 26 with the strap portion 16 is increased in proportion to the applied tension and when such tension is relieved, the free end portion 16 may be pulled through the buckle frame in either direction.
Otherwise stated, the free end portion 16 of the strap may be threaded easily and quickly through the buckle frame and drawn up any desired amount. Such drawing up or tightening of the strap is permitted owing to the angular inclination of the serrated ange 25, which enables the strap to slide over the serrations without their engaging in said strap. When the end portion 16 has been drawn into any position desired with respect to the buckle frame and the strap then tensioned by the load enclosed or supported thereby, the serrations 26 bite deeply into the said free end portion of the strap to prevent its withdrawal in the opposite direction. In order to release the strap, it is only necessary to rock the buckle frame relative to the band 19 sufficiently to disengage the serrations 26 from the strap end.
It should be apparent that the instant construction avoids the need, as in prior fastening devices, for providing apertures in the strap to receive a tongue or projections therethrough. Furthermore, the present construction and assembly is useful in connection with garment belts, load carrying and supporting straps, safety belts, and the like.
As many possible embodiments may be made in the invention, and as many changes might be made in the embodiment above set forth, it is to be understood that all matters hereinbefore set forth or shown in the accompanying drawings are to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent of the United States is:
