  • Patent number: 11627783
    Abstract: A lever-controllable magnetic buckle includes a male member having a male engaging section, a female member having a female engaging section formed with two groups of female guide-out surface, and a control lever. The male member is magnetically attracted for moving to the female member with the male engaging section retained to the female engaging section. The control lever is pivotally connected to the male member and has an actuating cam contacting with the female member. The female member will contact with surfaces of the actuating cam at different positions thereof when the control lever is pivotally swung relative to the male member, allowing the male engaging section to disengage from the female engaging section. Then, the control lever can be further swung to move the male member in different directions to selectively contact with one of the two groups of female guide-out surface and be completely separated from the female member.

  • Patent number: 10085521
    Abstract: A magnetic buckle includes two buckle bodies respectively have a magnetic attraction element fitted thereon. The two magnetic attraction elements bring the two buckle bodies to be magnetically detachably engaged with each other. A guide structure is formed on between the two buckle bodies. The two magnetic attraction elements and the guide structure together enable one of the two buckle bodies to move in different directions when it sequentially moves along an approaching path, within which the two buckle bodies are separate from each other, a contacting path, within which the two buckle bodies are brought to contact with each other, and a locating path, within which the two buckle bodies are brought to engage with each other. Thus, a user can conveniently magnetically engage the two buckle bodies with each other without the necessity of aligning them in advance or double-checking the engagement between them.

  • Patent number: 7181813
    Abstract: A low-profile heavy-duty buckle includes a male member having two forward elastic retaining arms, and a female member having two receiving spaces corresponding to the retaining arms of the male member. The retaining arm is elastically exposed from and retained to a side opening provided on a sidewall of the receiving space when the male member is plugged into the female member. The retaining arm further includes an inward extended extension portion having a first retaining block with a first toothed face provided near a distal end thereof. The receiving space is internally provided with a downward extended second retaining block having a second toothed face opposite to the first toothed face. The first and the second toothed face firmly engage with one another to provide the buckle with an enhanced force-bearing strength when the connected male and female members are subjected to two opposite pull forces.

  • Patent number: 7140082
    Abstract: A side release buckle includes a male member having two forward extended elastic retaining arms, each of which has a curved outer sidewall with a retaining shoulder portion formed near a proximal end thereof and a downward locating block; and a hollow female member having a front opening and two side openings, and two projected stoppers. The curved outer sidewalls of the retaining arms enable the male member to slide into the front opening of the female member from an angular position, and the engagement of the male member with the female member at the retaining shoulder portions and axially front ends of the side openings and at the locating blocks and the stoppers provides the buckle with enhanced force-bearing strength to prevent the male and the female member from easy breakaway.
