Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for connecting a strap and an associated appurtenance to each other, which enables convenient connection or separation of straps or various associated appurtenances provided at backpacks, bags, garments, helmets, and the like.
  • a backpack is provided at several positions with a great number of straps in such a manner that one end of each strap is fixed to the backpack by sewing, and various shapes of appurtenances, such as adjustors and hooks, are connected to the straps so as to be used per different functions thereof.
  • the backpack is further provided with, e.g., fastening belts and belt buckles.
  • a greater number of appurtenances such as a lantern, cup, alpenstock, and canteen, may be suspended from and carried by the backpack.
  • Such straps or appurtenances attached to backpacks or bags provide only limited functions at fixed positions thereof and have no compatibility with other appurtenances having different functions.
  • connection between a general strap and several associated appurtenances has been realized, for example, in such a manner that the strap is inserted into and wound around one or more slots perforated in each appurtenance in various ways and in turn, male and female buckles, which are adapted for individual cases, are used to connect the appurtenances to each other.
  • male and female buckles which are adapted for individual cases, are used to connect the appurtenances to each other.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a device for connecting a strap and an appurtenance to each other, which enables convenient attachment/detachment of straps or various associated appurtenances provided at backpacks, etc., thus enabling selective use thereof as occasion demands while maintaining a stable operational status of each appurtenance without abrasion despite repeated connection/separation operations.
  • a connecting device of a strap and an appurtenance including a plug member including an elongated rail formed at one end thereof with a stopper and a rail support connected to a side surface of the rail, and a socket member including a rail groove configured to receive the rail, a socket longitudinally formed from an entrance of the rail groove, and a retaining hole formed in one end thereof to receive the stopper when the rail is fitted into the rail groove, wherein the end of the rail is spaced apart from the rail support to define an elastic free end, and the stopper is located in a range of the free end.
  • the stopper it is possible to allow the stopper to be stably caught by the retaining hole in the course of fitting the rail into the rail groove. Also, the rail is able to be separated from the rail groove in a state wherein the stopper is released from the retaining hole as the free end is elastically pushed. This assures smooth separation of the rail without friction between the stopper and the rail groove.
  • the free end of the rail may protrude outward beyond the rail support.
  • This provides the free end of the rail with elasticity, enabling elastic displacement of the stopper included in the free end.
  • the rail and the rail support may have the same length and a separation space may be defined between the free end of the rail and the rail support. This provides the free end of the rail with elasticity, enabling elastic displacement of the stopper included in the free end.
  • the free end of the rail may be thinner than a remaining region of the rail to enhance elasticity thereof.
  • a grip may be formed at a distal position of the free end and may take the form of an expanded portion.
  • the stopper included in the free end may have an inclined surface facing a fixed end of the rail and a vertical surface facing the free end of the rail.
  • the inclined surface of the stopper assures smooth coupling of the rail and the rail groove and the vertical surface of the stopper maintains a firmly coupled state of the rail and the rail groove.
  • Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a connecting device according to an embodiment of the present invention

  • the end of the rail 102 is separated from the rail support 101 so as to define the free end 106 and the remaining region of the rail 102 is connected to the rail support 101 so as to define the fixed end of the rail 102.
  • the free end 106 has elasticity.
  • the elastic free end 106 of the rail 102 may act to minimize frictional resistance caused when the stopper 103 comes into contact with an inner periphery of the retaining hole 203 in the course of fitting the rail 102 into the rail groove 202.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate an alternative configuration of the free end of the rail.
  • one end of the rail 102 of the plug member 100 protrudes outward beyond the rail support 101 to define the free end 106.
  • the stopper 103 is located in a range of the free end 106.
  • the free end 106 of the rail 102 is thinner than the remaining region of the rail 102.
  • the free end is defined at an opposite side of a leading end of the rail that begins to be fitted into the rail groove of the socket member.
  • Figs. 8 to 10 are views illustrating an alternative embodiment of the present invention in which a grip is provided at the free end of the rail.
  • a grip 108 is attached to the free end 106 of the rail 102 of the plug member 100 and takes the form of an expanded plate.
