[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a buckle device and more specifically, relates to
a buckle device for length adjustment.
[Background Art]
[0002] Generally, a buckle device is used to hook a band or the like to stop it and used
to adjust a length of the band by using a buckle.
[0003] The buckle device needs to securely lock the band when hooking the band to stop it
and also needs to readily disengage the band from the buckle when disengaging the
band from the buckle.
[0004] As a prior art, Korean Patent No.
10-480669 describes an invention entitled "Buckle and band with this buckle". In this prior
art, a resilient piece provide in a buckle is configured to hook a band to stop it
or to disengage the band.
[0005] However, in this prior art, when the band is disengaged from the buckle, the resilient
piece needs to spring regardless of a disengagement direction of the buckle or a disengagement
direction of the band. Thus, the resilient piece needs to spring and at the same time,
the buckle and the band need to be disengaged from each other. That is, in order to
disengage the band from the buckle, a user needs to carry out these two operations.
Thus, actually, it is difficult for the user to disengage the buckle and the band
from each other with his/her hand and it is impossible for the user to readily disengage
the buckle and the band from each other with his/her finger.

[0030] Hereinafter, there will be explained a buckle device for length adjustment in accordance
with an embodiment of the present invention by reference to Figs. 1 to 5B.
[0031] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a buckle device for length adjustment in accordance
with an embodiment of the present invention.
[0032] As depicted in Fig. 1, a buckle device for length adjustment in accordance with an
embodiment of the present invention may include a band unit 100, a base unit 200,
and a control unit 300.
[0033] Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the buckle device for length adjustment in which
a band unit and a base unit are disengaged from each other in accordance with the
embodiment of the present invention and Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of
the band unit of the buckle device for length adjustment in accordance with the embodiment
of the present invention.
[0034] As depicted in Figs. 2 and 3, the band unit 100 may include a band main body 110,
a band engagement unit 120, and a first engagement screw 130.
[0035] The band main body 110 may be extended in one direction and slidably guided into
the base unit 200. The band main body 110 may include an entrance member 111, an extension
member 112, and an engagement detent 113. The band main body 110 may be formed in
a plate shape bent in one direction.
[0036] The entrance member 111 may be positioned at one end of the band main body 110 and
may be a portion to first enter the base unit 200. Both edges of the entrance member
111 may be rounded in order for the entrance member 111 to easily enter the base unit
200.
[0037] The extension member 112 may be extended in a direction from the entrance member
111 toward the engagement detent 113. On the extension member 112, a plurality of
saw-teeth 112a may be provided so as to face the control unit 300.
[0038] The saw-teeth 112a may be provided in a row along the extension member 112. The saw-teeth
112a may be engaged or disengaged by the control unit 300 and may determine whether
or not to move the band main body 110. The saw-teeth 112a may include multiple inclined
members 112b each end of which may be connected to another end so as to form a convex
portion and a concave portion.
[0039] The inclined members 112b adjacent to each other may have different incline angles.
Of the inclined members 112b adjacent to each other, the inclined member 112b closer
to the entrance member 111 may be more gently inclined than the inclined member 112b
closer to the engagement detent 113. This more gently inclined member 112b may enter
the base unit 200 earlier than the steeply inclined member 112b. That is, of the multiple
inclined members 112b, the inclined member 112b farther from the band engagement unit
120 than the other inclined members 112b may be more gently inclined than the other
inclined members 112b, so that a movement of the band unit 100 may be controlled by
the control unit 300 when the band unit 100 enters the base unit 200 or exits therefrom.
[0040] The engagement detent 113 may be slantly extended from the extension member 112.
Since the engagement detent 113 is slantly extended from the extension member 112,
entry of the band unit 100 into the base unit 200 may be limited. To be specific,
when the band unit 100 enters the base unit 200, if an inclined upper surface of the
engagement detent 113 is in contact with the control unit 300, the entry of the band
unit 100 into the base unit 200 may be stopped. The engagement detent 113 may be provided
in the band engagement unit 120 so as to be rotatable. Since the engagement detent
113 is provided in the band engagement unit 120 so as to be rotatable, the band main
body 110 may be provided in the band engagement unit 120 so as to be rotatable.
[0041] The engagement detent 113 of the band main body 110 may be provided in the band engagement
unit 120 through the first engagement screw 130. The engagement detent 113 may be
connected to an extended belt or band or may be provided in a side of a helmet.
[0042] The first engagement screw 130 may penetrate the band engagement unit 120 and the
engagement detent 113 such that the band main body 110 may be rotated with respect
to the band engagement unit 120. The first engagement screw 130 may serve as a rotation
axis when the band main body 110 is rotated with respect to the band engagement unit
120.
[0043] Fig. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a base unit and a control unit of the buckle
device for length adjustment in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention.
[0044] As depicted in Figs. 2 and 4, the base unit 200 may slidably guide the band unit
100 when the band unit 100 enters the base unit 200 or exits therefrom. The base unit
200 may be connected to the extended belt or band or may be provided in the other
side of the helmet. The base unit 200 may include a bottom member 210, wall members
220, a second engagement screw 230, and a third engagement screw 240.
[0045] The bottom member 210 may be formed in an extended plate shape bent in one direction
corresponding to the direction of the band unit 100 such that the bottom member 210
corresponds to a lower surface of the band unit 100. The band unit 100 may be guided
along an upper surface of the bottom member 210 when the band unit 100 enters the
base unit 200 or exits therefrom.
[0046] The wall members 220 may be a pair of walls facing each other and may be bent and
extended upwards from edges of the bottom member 210, the edges facing each other.
When the band unit 100 enters the base unit 200, the band unit 100 first enters between
ends 221 of the wall members 220 facing each other. Between the ends 221 of the wall
members 220 facing each other, a locking unit 310 may be engaged so as to be rotatable.
Between the other ends 222 of the wall members 220 facing each other, a lever may
be engaged so as to be rotatable. That is, at both ends of the base unit 200, the
locking unit 310 and the lever unit 320 may be engaged so as to be rotatable. When
the band unit 100 enters the base unit 200, the entrance member 111 of the band unit
100 may first enter the locking unit 310 engaged with the ends 221 of the wall members
220 so as to be rotatable and the band unit 100 entering the base unit 200 may penetrate
the base unit 200 through the locking unit 310 and the lever unit 320 in sequence.
The wall members 220 may include resilient supports 223 protruded so as to be adjacent
to the locking unit 310 and the lever unit 320.
[0047] The resilient support 223 may support resilient members 330 coupled to the locking
unit 310 and the lever unit 320, respectively, to apply resilience of the locking
unit 310 and the lever unit 320 to the base unit 200. To be more specific, each of
the resilient members 330 coupled to the locking unit 310 and the lever unit 320 may
enable the locking unit 310 and the lever unit 320 to apply resilience in a direction
of the base unit 200 when the locking unit 310 and the lever unit 320 are rotated
with respect to the base unit 200 while being supported by the resilient support 223.
[0048] The second engagement screw 230 may penetrate the ends 221 of the wall members 220
and the locking unit 310 such that the locking unit 310 can be rotated with respect
to the base unit 200. The second engagement screw 230 may serve as a rotation axis
when the locking unit 310 is rotated with respect to the base unit 200. The third
engagement screw 240 may penetrate the other ends 222 of the wall members 220 and
the lever unit 320 such that the lever unit 320 can be rotated with respect to the
base unit 200. The third engagement screw 240 may serve as a rotation axis when the
lever unit 320 is rotated with respect to the base unit 200. The control unit 300
may control the band unit 100 so as to enter the base unit 200 or exit therefrom.
The control unit 300 may include the locking unit 310, the lever unit 320, and the
resilient members 330.
[0049] When the band unit 100 enters the base unit 200, the band unit 100 enters first from
the ends 221 of the base unit 200. The locking unit 310 may be engaged with the ends
221 of the base unit 200 so as to be rotatable. The locking unit 310 may be cross-linked
with the lever unit 320 between the ends 221 and the other ends 222 of the base unit
200. The locking unit 310 may be engaged with or disengaged from the saw-teeth 112a
of the band unit 100, thereby limiting entrance or exit of the band unit 100. The
locking unit 310 may include a locking engagement member 311, locking teeth 312, and
a locking member 313.
[0050] The locking engagement member 311 may be provided in the base unit 200 so as to be
rotatable. The locking engagement member 311 may be provided at the ends 221 of the
base unit 200 by the second engagement screw 230. Since the locking engagement member
311 is provided in the base unit 200 so as to be rotatable, the locking unit 310 can
be provided in the base unit 200 so as to be rotatable.
[0051] The locking teeth 312 may face the saw-teeth 112a of the base unit when the band
unit 100 enters the base unit 200 or exits therefrom. The locking teeth 312 may include
multiple inclined members configured to form a convex portion and a concave portion
corresponding to the saw-teeth 112a. The locking teeth 312 may be one or more and
may include a gently inclined member corresponding to and facing the gently inclined
member 112b of the saw-teeth 112a of the band unit 100 which enters the base unit
200 or exits therefrom and a steeply inclined member corresponding to and facing the
steeply inclined member 112b of the saw-teeth 112a. That is, when the band unit 100
enters the base unit 200 or exits therefrom, the locking teeth 312 may be engaged
with or disengaged from the saw-teeth 112a, thereby limiting entrance or exit of the
band unit 100 with respect to the base unit 200.
[0052] The locking member 313 may be protruded in a direction of the lever unit 320 and
cross-linked with the lever unit 320. The locking member 313 may be engaged with the
lever unit 320 when the lever unit 320 is rotated. The locking unit 310 can be rotated
according to the rotation of the lever unit 320 by the locking member 313 engaged
with the lever unit 320. That is, since the locking member 313 is engaged with the
lever unit 320 when the lever unit 320 is rotated, the locking unit 310 can be rotated
according to the rotation of the lever unit 320, so that the locking teeth 312 engaged
with the saw-teeth 112a of the band unit 100 may be disengaged from the saw-teeth
112a or the locking teeth 312 of the locking unit 310 may be spaced from the saw-teeth
112a of the band unit 100 that enters the base unit 200. Thus, the band unit 100 is
not interrupted by the locking unit 310 and the band unit 100 may easily enter the
base unit 200 or exit therefrom.
[0053] The lever unit 320 may face the locking unit 310 and may be provided in the other
ends 222 of the base unit 200 so as to be rotatable. The lever unit 320 may be cross-linked
with the locking unit 310 between the ends 221 and the other ends 222 of the base
unit 200. The rotation of the locking unit 310 may be controlled by the rotation of
the lever unit 320, so that the engagement or the disengagement of the locking unit
310 with respect to the saw-teeth 112a of the band unit 100 can be controlled. The
lever unit 320 may include a lever engagement member 321, a lever locking member 322,
and a lever control member 323.
[0054] The lever engagement member 321 may be provided in the base unit 200 so as to be
rotatable. The lever engagement member 321 may be provided at the other ends 222 of
the base unit 200 by the third engagement screw 240. Since the lever engagement member
321 is provided in the base unit 200 so as to be rotatable, the lever unit 320 can
be provided in the base unit 200 so as to be rotatable.
[0055] The lever locking member 322 may be formed in a dent shape corresponding to the locking
member 313 and may be cross-linked with the locking member 313 of the locking unit
310. The lever locking member 322 may be engaged with the locking member 313 of the
locking unit 310 when the lever unit 320 is rotated. The locking unit 310 can be rotated
according to the rotation of the lever unit 320 by the lever locking member 322 engaged
with the locking unit 310. That is, since the lever locking member 322 is engaged
with the locking unit 310 when the lever unit 320 is rotated, the locking unit 310
can be rotated according to the rotation of the lever unit 320, so that the locking
teeth 312 engaged with the saw-teeth 112a of the band unit 100 may be disengaged from
the saw-teeth 112a or the locking teeth 312 of the locking unit 310 may be spaced
from the saw-teeth 112a of the band unit 100 that enters the base unit 200. Thus,
the band unit 100 is not interrupted by the locking unit 310 and the band unit 100
may easily enter the base unit 200 or exit therefrom.
[0056] In another embodiment, the lever locking member 322 may be protruded in a direction
of the locking member 313, and in this case, the locking member 313 may be dented
corresponding to the lever locking member 322.
[0057] The lever control member 323 may be provided at an uppermost position and protruded
upwards. When a user manipulates the control unit 300, a point of the user's finger
may be caught in the lever control member 323. When the user pulls the lever control
member 323 in an entrance direction of the band unit 100 with respect to the base
unit 200, the lever unit 320 may be rotated. The locking unit 310 can be rotated according
to the rotation of the lever unit 320, and the locking teeth 312 engaged with the
saw-teeth 112a of the band unit 100 may be disengaged from the saw-teeth 112a by the
rotation of the locking unit 310, so that the base unit 200 and the band unit 100
may be spaced from each other. That is, if the user pulls the lever control member
323 with his/her finger to rotate the lever unit 320, the locking unit 310 can be
rotated and the locking unit 310 may be disengaged from the band unit 100, so that
the band unit 100 can exit from the base unit 200 with ease.
[0058] The resilient members 330 may be coupled to the locking unit 310 and the lever unit
320 and may enable the locking unit 310 and the lever unit 320 to apply resilience
to the base unit 200 while being supported by the resilient support 223 of the base
unit 200. Since the resilient members 330 enables the locking unit 310 and the lever
unit 320 to apply resilience to the base unit 200, the locking unit 310 may be rotated
due to an inclined slide between the saw-teeth 112a and the locking teeth 312 when
the band unit 100 enters the base unit 200. Thus, the band unit 100 may be controlled
so as to correspond to each of the saw-teeth 112a. That is, by the resilient rotation
of the locking unit 310 due to the resilient members 330, the band unit 100 can enter
the base unit 200 step by step so as to correspond to each of the saw-teeth 112a of
the band unit 100.
[0059] Hereinafter, there will be explained an operation method of the buckle device for
length adjustment in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention by reference
to Figs. 5A and 5B.
[0060] Figs. 5A and 5B are a cross sectional view of Fig. 1 taken along a line V-V. Fig.
5A is a cross sectional view showing that the locking teeth 312 of the locking unit
310 are engaged with the saw-teeth 112a of the band unit 100, and Fig. 5B is a cross
sectional view showing that the locking teeth 312 of the locking unit 310 are disengaged
from the saw-teeth 112a of the band unit 100.
[0061] Above all, there will be explained entrance of the band unit 100 with respect to
the base unit 200.
[0062] To be specific, if the band unit 100 enters the base unit 200 in a direction toward
the locking unit 310, since the locking unit 310 applies resilience to the base unit
200, as the band unit 100 enters the base unit 200, the gently inclined member 112b
of the saw-teeth 112a may be slantly slid with the gently inclined member of the locking
teeth 312 corresponding to the inclined member 112b. Thus, the locking unit 310 may
be rotated. As the band unit 100 enters the base unit 200, the convex portion of the
locking teeth 312 may pass the convex portion of the saw-teeth 112a of the band unit
100 and may reach the concave portion of the saw-teeth 112a. At this time, the locking
teeth 312 may be engaged with the saw-teeth 112a. If the band unit 100 continues to
enter the base unit 200, the convex portion of the locking teeth 312 may be engaged
with the adjacent concave portion of the saw-teeth 112a step by step. Thus, the band
unit 100 can enter the base unit 200 step by step.
[0063] Then, there will be explained exit of the band unit 100 with respect to the base
unit 200.
[0064] To be specific, if the lever control member 323 is pulled in an entrance direction
of the band unit 100 with respect to the base unit 200, the lever unit 320 may be
rotated. The locking unit 310 can be rotated according to the rotation of the lever
unit 320 and the locking teeth 312 engaged with the saw-teeth 112a of the band unit
100 may be spaced from the saw-teeth 112a of the band unit 100 by the rotation of
the locking unit 310. At this time, the locking unit 310 may be disengaged from the
saw-teeth 112a and at the same time, the base unit 200 may exit in the entrance direction
of the band unit 100. Thus, the band unit 100 can exit from the base unit 200. That
is, if the lever unit 320 is pulled in the entrance direction of the band unit 100,
the locking unit 310 may be disengaged from the band unit 100, and at the same time,
since the base unit 100 is pulled in the entrance direction of the band unit 100,
the band unit 100 can exit from the base unit 200. If the band unit 100 continues
to exit from the base unit 200, the base unit 200 and the band unit 100 can be spaced
from each other.
[0065] As described above, the buckle device for length adjustment in accordance with the
embodiment of the present invention may include the control unit 300 including the
locking unit 310 and the lever unit 320 provided to be cross-linked with each other
and to be rotatable. Therefore, it may be easy for the user to space the base unit
200 and the band unit 100 from each other by using his/her finger. That is, by a simple
manipulation with a finger, the base unit 200 and the band unit 100 can be spaced
from each other.
[0066] The above description of the present invention is provided for the purpose of illustration,
and it would be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications
may be made without changing technical conception and essential features of the present
invention. Thus, it is clear that the above-described embodiments are illustrative
in all aspects and do not limit the present invention. For example, each component
described to be of a single type can be implemented in a distributed manner. Likewise,
components described to be distributed can be implemented in a combined manner.
[0067] The scope of the present invention is defined by the following claims rather than
by the detailed description of the embodiment. It shall be understood that all modifications
and embodiments conceived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents
are included in the scope of the present invention.
