Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to lanyard style quick-release buckles of the type used to detachably connect straps in backpacks and the like.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Lanyard style quick-release buckles are known, as disclosed for example by U.S. Pat. No. 6,637,083 (Howell). While such buckles are entirely serviceable, experience has indicated that they have a number of shortcomings. For example, their design does not provide a convenient way of parting the interlocked buckle components without using the lanyard. The release levers of the female components are prone to being overstressed and broken by excessive pulling forces on the lanyards. Lanyards are limited to thin webs that are generally sewn into place, and the lanyards are susceptible to inadvertent snagging, resulting in unintended parting of the buckle components.
- The objective of the present invention is to obviate or at least significantly minimize these shortcomings.
- In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a quick release buckle comprises interengageable female and male components. The female component has bottom and side walls coacting to define a receiving channel having an access opening at a front end and a rear wall at a rear end. A resiliently deflectable release lever overlies the receiving channel and is supported in cantilever fashion by the rear wall. The release lever has a catch on its underside and a forward end projecting beyond the front end of the receiving channel to define a lift tab.
- The male component includes a tongue projecting forwardly from a base. The tongue is configured and dimensioned for insertion into the receiving channel of the female component via its access opening, and a shoulder on the tongue coacts in snap engagement with the catch on the release lever to retain the two components in an interlocked relationship. The lift tab overlies and is spaced above the base of the male component to thereby provide a means of prying or otherwise upwardly deflecting the release lever to disengage its catch from the tongue shoulder and thereby accommodate separation of the buckle components.
- The lift tab is preferably provided with an aperture configured to accept a cord serving as a release lanyard.
- Preferably, the lift tab is angled upwardly to prevent the lanyard cord from obstructing the access opening of the female component's receiving channel.
- Preferably, the base of the male component is configured with a notch into which the lanyard cord may be releaseably tucked and thus safeguarded from inadvertent snagging.
- In accordance with still another aspect of the present invention, the side walls of the female component have stops that overlap and limit the extent to which the release lever can be upwardly deflected, thus safeguarding the release lever from being excessively stressed and broken.
- These and other features and advantages of the present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a quick release buckle in accordance with the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the male and female components of the buckle; -
FIG. 3 is a sectional perspective view of the exploded buckle components; -
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the assembled buckle components; and -
FIG. 5 is an end view of the female component taken on line 5-5 ofFIG. 2 . - With reference initially to
FIG. 1 , a quick release buckle in accordance with the present invention is shown at 10. The buckle comprises afemale component 12 connected to aweb 14 by a stitchedstrap 16, and amale component 18 connected to anotherweb 20. - With reference additionally to the remaining Figures, it will be seen that the
female component 12 has abottom 22 andside walls 24 coacting to define a receivingchannel 26 having an access opening 28 at its front end and arear wall 30 at its rear end. A resilientlydeflectable release lever 32 overlies thereceiving channel 26 and is supported in cantilever fashion by therear wall 30. The release lever has acatch 34 on its underside, and a forward end projecting beyond the access opening at the front end of the receiving channel to define alife tab 36. Thelift tab 36 is angled upwardly away from the access opening 28, and is provided with anaperture 38 configured and dimensioned to accept dual strands of alanyard release cord 40. - The
male component 18 has atongue 42 projecting forwardly from abase 44. Ashoulder 46 on the tongue coacts in snap engagement with thecatch 34 on the underside of therelease lever 32 to retain the tongue in thereceiving channel 26 and thus establish an interlocked relationship between the twobuckle components release lever 32, thecatch 34 can be freed fromshoulder 46 to allowtongue 42 to be retracted from thereceiving channel 26, resulting in separation of thebuckle components - When the two buckle components are mechanically interengaged, as shown in
FIGS. 1 and 4 , thelift tab 36 of therelease lever 32 is spaced above thebase 44 of themale component 18. Therelease lever 32 may be deflected upwardly either by prying or otherwise forcing thelift tab 36 upwardly, or by pulling on thelanyard release cord 40 when it is in the position shown by the broken lines at 40′ inFIG. 4 . It can also be seen fromFIG. 4 that the upwardly inclined disposition of thelift tab 36 serves to retain thelanyard release cord 40 above the access opening 28 at a location that does not interfere with insertion of thetongue 42 into thereceiving channel 26. - The
base 44 of themale component 18 is advantageously provided with rearwardly projectingcurved fingers 48 defining anotch 50. The tips of the curved fingers are spaced one from the other to define aslot 52 communicating with thenotch 50. Thelanyard cord 40 may be forced through theslot 52 and tucked into thenotch 50. When thus positioned, as shown by the solid lines inFIGS. 1 and 4 , the lanyard cord is safeguarded against inadvertent snagging, which can result in therelease lever 32 being pulled upwardly unintentionally. - As can best be seen in
FIG. 5 , theside walls 24 of thefemale component 12 are advantageously provide withintegral stops 54 positioned to overlap laterally projectingears 56 on therelease lever 32. The vertical spacing between thestops 54 and theears 56 establishes a limit to upward deflection of therelease lever 32. With this arrangement, excessive upward forces exerted on the release lever will be resisted by thestops 54 on the rigid and morerobust side walls 24, thus safeguarding the release lever from being overstressed and broken.
