Abstract
A buckle includes two coupling modules coupled separably to each other. Each of the coupling modules includes a main unit including a hook member and a coupling member that has a retaining portion, and an operating member having an operating portion and a pushing portion. The hook member of each of the coupling modules is engaged with the retaining portion of the other one of the coupling modules. The operating portions of the operating members of the coupling modules are movable toward each other, during which the pushing portion of each of the coupling modules pushes the hook member of the other one of the coupling modules to disengage said hook member from the retaining portion of the coupling module.
Claims11
A buckle comprising two coupling modules coupled separably to each other, each of said coupling modules including:
- a main unit that includes
- a base seat being elongated in a length direction and having a seat portion,
- a hook member connected to said seat portion of said base seat, and
- a coupling member connected to said seat portion of said base seat and having a coupling groove and a retaining portion, said hook member and said coupling member being spaced apart in the length direction, said hook member of each of said coupling modules extending into said coupling groove of the other one of said coupling modules and being engaged with said retaining portion of the other one of said coupling modules;
- an operating member that is connected removably to said main unit and that had
- an operating portion that is adjacent to said coupling member of said main unit, and
- a pushing portion that is adjacent to said retaining portion of said coupling member;
- and
- a resilient member that is connected between said main unit and said operating member;
- wherein said operating portions of said operating members of said coupling modules are movable substantially parallel to the length direction toward each other relative to said main units of said coupling modules against resilient forces of said resilient members of said coupling modules from a standby state to an unlocked state, during which said pushing portion of said operating member of each of said coupling modules pushes said hook member of said main unit of the other one of said coupling modules to disengage said hook member from said retaining portion of said coupling member of said main unit of said coupling module, thereby permitting separation of said coupling modules from each other.
