Abstract
A pin assembly adaptable for fastening to the exterior shoulder section of a garment for the detachable retention of a shoulder strap of a bag worn simultaneously with the garment. The assembly is formed of a U-shaped frame to the underside of which a pin is pivotaly mounted, with a hook fixed to the underside of the frame for retention of the end of the pin. A bar is pivotably mounted between the legs of the U-section frame to the frame, with detents on the legs serving to hold the bar in frictional engagement in the closed position of the bar between the frame legs. The bar is mounted at a spaced distance from each of the two frame legs to permit a shoulder strap of a bag to pass over the frame legs and under the bar when the assembly is pinned to the exterior of the shoulder section of a garment worn by the user.
Claims2
An assembly adaptable for fastening to a garment over an external surface of said garment for the purpose of retaining a strap in detachable engagement over the garment comprising,
- a flexible strap adaptable for suspension of a bag,
- a frame member in the form of a U-shaped section formed with two generally parallel spaced leg sections joined to a common base section, at a first end of each leg section,
- means fixed to the frame member for attachment of the assembly to a garment with the underside of the assembly lying adjacent the garment, and
- a bar member pivotably mounted to the frame member between the said leg sections of the frame member so as to rotate in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the axes of the said leg sections, with the said bar member fitted, adjacent a first end, to pivot means joined to each of said leg sections adjacent to the second end of each leg section, with
- the length of said bar member from said pivot means to the second end of said bar member being not greater than the length of each said leg section, so as to permit the bar member to rotate about said pivot means to a rest position in which it lies within the general confines of the frame and lies with the axis of the bar member parallel to the axes of the said leg sections,
- said bar member being spaced from each leg section, in said rest position, by the general thickness of said strap, so that the strap. when passed over the outer side of the assembly about each leg member and under the underside of the assembly about the bar member, is frictionally engaged to the frame member,
- said engaged strap being releaseable from engagement to said frame member, by manual rotation of the bar member away from the underside of the said frame member.
