Abstract
A shoulder strap assembly and a snap hook structure thereof are presented. A strap of the shoulder strap assembly is combined with a first article through the snap hook structure. The snap hook structure includes a main body and a keeper member. The main body hooks the first article, and the keeper member ensures the main body to keep hooking the first article. The keeper member has a perforation. The user can wind the strap around a second article, and use a lock to pass through the perforation so as to lock the first article with the second article, thereby preventing the first article from being stolen.
Claims17
A snap hook structure, comprising:
- a main body, having a body portion with two sides and a hook portion extending from the body portion, wherein the body portion has a slot penetrating the two sides, the hook portion forms a hooking range, and an end edge of the hook portion has an abutted surface which is inclined to the body portion;
- and
- a keeper member, pivoted with its middle section in the slot via an axle, and having an acting portion corresponding to the body portion and a clamping portion enclosing the hooking range, the acting portion and the clamping portion located at two opposite ends of the keeper member respectively, the acting portion and the clamping portion located at two opposite sides of the body portion, and the keeper member rotating to drive the clamping portion to open the hooking range, wherein the acting portion has a stop portion, the axle is located between the stop portion and the clamping portion, a block member is put in the stop portion to limit the rotation of the keeper member and enable the clamping portion to keep enclosing the hooking range, an end edge of the clamping portion has an abut surface which urges the abutted surface and an end edge of the acting portion has a limiting flange facing the hook portion, and the limiting flange abuts against the hook portion, so as to prevent the clamping portion from exiting from the hooking range.
A shoulder strap assembly which is configured to combine a strap with a first article, wherein the strap winds around a second article, the shoulder strap assembly comprising:
- a snap hook structure, comprising:
- a main body, having a body portion with two sides and a hook portion extending from the body portion, wherein the body portion has a slot penetrating the two sides, an end edge of the hook portion has an abutted surface which is inclined to the body portion, the hook portion forms a hooking range at one end of the body portion and hooks the first article, and the other end of the body portion is connected to the strap;
- and
- a keeper member, pivoted with its middle section in the slot via an axle, and having an acting portion corresponding to the body portion and a clamping portion enclosing the hooking range, the acting portion and the clamping portion located at opposite two ends of the keeper member respectively, the acting portion and the clamping portion located at two opposite sides of the body portion as well, and the keeper member being rotated to drive the clamping portion to open the hooking range, wherein the acting portion has a perforation, the axle is located between the perforation and the clamping portion, an end edge of the clamping portion has an abut surface which urges the abutted surface, and an end edge of the action portion has a limiting flange facing the hook portion and the limiting flange abuts against the hook portion so as to prevent the clamping portion from exiting from the hooking range;
- and
- a lock snap-hook structure, comprising:
- a lock main body, having a lock body and a lock hook extending from the lock body, wherein the lock hook forms a lock hooking range at one end of the lock body, the other end of the lock body is connected with the other end of the strap, and the lock hook selectively hooks the first article, so as to connect the strap and the first article, or is put into the perforation to limit the rotation of the keeper member and enable the clamping portion to keep enclosing the hooking range;
- a lock keeper member, rotatably disposed on the lock main body, and having a lock acting portion corresponding to the lock body and a lock clamping portion enclosing the lock hooking range, and the lock keeper member rotating to drive the lock clamping portion to open the lock hooking range;
- and
- a lock head, disposed on the lock body and having a retractable stopper, wherein the stopper protrudes from the lock head in a locking mode so as to block the lock keeper member to limit the rotation of the lock clamping portion and enable the lock clamping portion to keep enclosing the lock hooking range, so as to lock the first article with the second article.
