Abstract: An adaptable buckle system that can be secured to a loop in a strap or cable to replace a broken buckle or add a buckle. The present invention includes two component members, a male connector and a female connector, which removably engage to form a fastening buckle. Both components have an interlocking side-release mechanism at the end opposing the connector. The interlocking side-release mechanism comprises a receiver on one side of the component member configured to receive a prong extending from the free end of a flexible arm pivotally affixed to the other side of the component member. The flexible arm may be fed through a loop in a strap or cable. Ridges that line the inner surface of the prong and inner wall of the receiver cause a cross-biting action that secures the prong in place. The prong is released when the arm is twisted thereby rotating the prong.

Abstract: A device to replace a broken section of zipper. The present invention includes a track with an inner surface and an outer surface. A plurality of teeth are disposed along the inner surface of the track. A groove extends across the outer surface of the track and creates an inner volume in the track. The inner volume is configured to receive the teeth of the broken zipper section therein. Flanges that extend from an upper portion and a lower portion of the track into the groove help to secure the track in place. Further, a stop at an end of the track is used to attach the zipper replacement device to the material containing the broken zipper.
