Abstract
A strap buckle has a base. The base has a bottom plate and two side plates each having one end formed with a pivot hole. The base has a retaining portion spaced from the bottom plate. An opening is defined between the bottom plate and the retaining portion. A swinging member has a pivot portion pivotally connected to the pivot hole. Two opposite sides of the pivot portion have two perforations, respectively. Two transverse rods pass through the perforations and are arranged in parallel. The swinging member is pivoted relative to the base to drive the two transverse rods to rotate together. A pressing assembly has a pressing member and an elastic member. The pressing member is disposed between the two side plates of the base. A first strap is inserted between the bottom plate and the pressing member and wound around the two transverse rods.

A strap buckle, comprising:
- a base, having a bottom plate and two side plates on two opposite sides of the bottom plate, the two side plates each having one end formed with a pivot hole and a middle portion formed with a through hole, the base further having a retaining portion that is spaced from the bottom plate and located at one end of the bottom plate away from the pivot hole, an opening being defined between the bottom plate and the retaining portion;
- a swinging member, having a pivot portion, the pivot portion of the swinging member being pivotally connected to the pivot hole, two opposite sides of the pivot portion having two perforations respectively, two transverse rods passing through the perforations of the two opposite sides of the pivot portion and being arranged in parallel, the swinging member being pivoted relative to the base to drive the two transverse rods to rotate together;
- a pressing assembly, including a pressing member and an elastic member that is elastically pressed against a bottom of the pressing member, the pressing member having a connecting portion, the connecting portion being formed with an aperture transversely passing through the connecting portion, an insertion rod passing through the through hole, the aperture and the elastic member to connect the pressing member between the two side plates of the base, the pressing member having a toothed surface facing the bottom plate on an outer periphery of the connecting portion;
- a first strap, the first strap being inserted between the bottom plate and the pressing member from the opening and wound around the two transverse rods;
- wherein the elastic member provides an elastic return force for the pressing member to press against the first strap on the base, the swinging member is pivoted back and forth between a first position and a second position;
- when the swinging member is pivoted from the first position to the second position relative to the base, the swinging member drives the two transverse rods to rotate eccentrically for pulling the first strap wound around the two transverse rods to move;
- when the swinging member is pivoted from the second position to the first position relative to the base, the pressing member restricts movement of the first strap so that the first strap is not rotated by the swinging member;
- wherein the swinging member further has a grip portion, two opposite sides of the grip portion extend in a same direction to form a pair of wing plates, two opposite sides of extension ends of the wing plates protrude inwardly to form the pivot portion, and the pivot portion of the swinging member is pivotally connected to the corresponding pivot holes of the two side plates of the base from outer sides of the two side plates;
- wherein the pivot portion is formed by protruding inward at the respective ends of the pair of wing plates, and the two perforations are directly created on the pivot portion for the insertion of the two transverse rods, the swinging member pivots relative to the base to synchronously drive the two transverse rods to rotate around the pivot axis of the pivot portions.
