Abstract: A rotatable latch system is disclosed that provides controlled angular motion and mechanical retention in multiple planes. The system includes a base structure having a base neck, a base locking cap, and an angle limiting notch, and a latch defining a neck opening, a locking cap opening, and an angle limiting slot. The latch is rotatably coupled to the base structure such that the base neck and locking cap are received and retained within the latch openings, while the angle limiting slot and notch cooperate to define a limited range of rotation. The system resists both in-plane and out-of-plane disassembly forces and may include snap-fit joints, adjustable angular limits, or asymmetrical rotation ranges. The latch may include a strap slot or alternative coupling features, enabling integration with various mechanical, consumer, or industrial assemblies.

Abstract: A surface mount assembly is provided for securing a component having multiple openings. The assembly includes a base structure and a back plate to interlock through corresponding features. The base structure defines a mounted surface with a plurality of locking tabs and a centering post extending therefrom. The back plate includes a central hub portion, a series of flexible arms extending radially outward, and multiple clip openings each having a defined locking surface. During assembly, the centering post of the base structure aligns with an alignment slot in the back plate to ensure positioning. The locking tabs of the base structure pass through the component’s openings and engage the locking surfaces of the clip openings, thereby securely retaining the component between the base structure and the back plate.

Abstract: Disclosed is a buckle assembly having a female buckle component and a male buckle component. The female buckle component configured to mate with a male buckle component and including a housing, a button aperture, and a pocket. The pocket includes an alignment edge at an opening of the pocket. The male buckle component includes a main body, guide bars, and lateral arms. Each lateral arm is coupled to the main body and configured to deflect about a pivot point. Each lateral arm includes a flexible lateral arm, a button, locking tips, and a guide fin.

Abstract: An adjustment buckle assembly includes a first component having a shaft extending from a flange and a second component having a receptacle formed through a base. The shaft is configured to be at least partially inserted into the receptacle and tapers inwardly relative to a central axis extending centrally through the first component. The shaft carries a plurality of teeth that are configured to engage with a plurality of ribs carried on the second component.
