20160081440 | BUCKLE APPARATUS FOR WEARABLE DEVICE - A buckle apparatus for a wearable device may include a main body of the wearable device; a band for wearing the main body on a user's wrist; and a buckle assembly comprising a cover part to which a first end of the band is coupled and a coupling part in which a second end of the band is inserted into and maintained. The cover part may comprise upper and lower covers coupled to each other to form rails, and the coupling part may comprise first and second link pieces hingedly coupled to each other and is assembled to the lower portion of the cover part. | 03-24-2016 |
20150107067 | BUCKLE DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING AND CLAMPING A STRAP - An attachment device for tightening an adjustable resistant strap, comprising a buckle composed of a pair of superposed rings of different dimensions. The buckle is associated with a positioning shim housed around a closed first turn arranged opposite the blocking slot of the strap. The positioning shim is configured to separate the top strand and the bottom strand of said turn from one another. This results in a reduction of the friction effect when relative movement takes place between the two rings. The shim is equipped for this purpose with two guide apertures through which the bottom strand and the top strand of the closed turn attached to the buckle respectively pass. | 04-23-2015 |
20090178256 | Ratcheting adjustable tank band and buckle assembly for securing gas cylinders to backpacks - A buckle assembly especially for use in securing gas cylinders such as scuba air tanks to a diver's backpack. A ratcheting feature of the buckle eliminates the need to reposition the buckle position to lengthen or shorten the band. The band in a preferred embodiment, is separated into two separate portions, but could be also one continuous element eliminating two separate attachments to the backpack. One belt portion is attached to the buckle at one end and is fixed to the backpack at the other end. The other belt portion contains the teeth at one end for receiving the buckle and the other end is fixed to the backpack. To secure the tank into the backpack, the tank is placed into the desired position, then the toothed end of the belt is placed into the receiving end of the buckle. The buckle is open to its longest position. The band end containing the teeth is slid into the ratchet portion of the buckle until it is tight. A spring beneath the ratchet member keeps the edge of the ratchet engaged with the teeth on the band. The buckle is then moved over center to the locked position, tightening and securing the end of the attached band beneath it. The pivot position of the over-center tightening action is calculated to provide the correct tightening force to secure the tank in place without the possibility of loosening or slipping. | 07-16-2009 |
