  • 2. In the present invention, a long member (“B” in embodiments) refers to one or several tape members provided directly on the above-described associated object, a belt of so called slacks and a helmet, or a bag member attached to the belt or slacks, such as a magazine porch.
  • 3. In the present invention, various buckle members (“C” in embodiments) refer to members that are intended for attachment, by use of a single or multiple members, to one or several tape members provided directly on the above-described associated object, a belt of so called slacks and a helmet, or a bag member attached to the belt or slacks, such as a magazine porch.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a long article, such as various kinds of belts for wearing, or junction means of various buckle members for wearing, such as bag articles including magazine porches and, as examples thereof, to magazine porches that are used by those who handle machine guns in terrorism incidents and fights, magazine belts or vests that become members for attaching the magazine porches, or junction means of various buckle members for attaching magazine porches and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art

Magazines which are worn by soldiers, police officers, guards and the like who handle machine guns and from which bullets are taken out are housed in bag articles made of flexible and tough base materials, and face fasteners, snap buttons and the like are used in order to facilitate the attachment and detachment of the magazines and the loading and unloading of bullets. In a magazine belt to which the above-described magazine porch is attached, usually, a fitting type buckle is used to connect both ends of the magazine belt.

However, in a face fastener, the engagement condition of a female member and a male member thereof is unstable and in the case of stripping, a relatively large stripping sound is generated. For a snap button, there is a great fear about fitting means thereof in terms of safety and reliability and a considerable large clapping sound is generated. Therefore, when a machine gun or the like is to be used in secret in a terrorism incident, the presence of the soldiers, police officers, guards and the like may be sensed by the enemy from a stripping sound and a clapping sound that are generated by the opening of the above-described face fastener and snap button in taking out bullets from a magazine porch, with the result that there is a danger of being attacked by the enemy.

As a general buckle used in a magazine belt, there is a buckle member constituted by a male-side latching claw member that works in a rebounding manner simply under the spring action of another member and the like and a female-side receiving jig that receives this claw member. However, this buckle member lacks reliability and those in which emphasis is laid on reliability had the disadvantages of difficulty in handling due to complexity and of heavy weight.

Although the above-described magazine porch is formed in such a manner that a plurality of magazine porches are removably attached to a magazine belt and a vest, not only attachment to a magazine belt and a vest, but also rapid detachment is required in an emergency.

On the whole, as an advantage of the present invention, all buckle members hold a long member, such as a belt, so as to contain the long member therein. Therefore, there is no fear that a long member, such as a belt, might slip off from a buckle member.

The advantage of each feature of the present invention resides in that a long member, such as a belt, fitted into various buckle members of the present invention is held by a pressing member capable of rotating through nearly 90 degrees. Therefore, even if the belt is wide, the belt can be easily fitted into the buckle members.

In this case, when an engaging concavity is provided at a terminal end of the fixed member, a terminal end of the pressing member is fitted into this engaging concavity. Therefore, it is possible to prevent accidents, such as slipping-off of the pressing member from the belt for no reason.

The reason why the rotating member that supports the belt in a sandwiched manner is further provided with a cover member capable of pressing is that it is possible to prevent the belt from falling off even when the user makes vigorous motions.

When in either or both of the rotating member and the back-surface member there are provided a retaining protrusion, which protrudes in the direction of the fixed member, and a retaining claw, it is possible to remove the belt from the buckle member by slight operations of the retaining protrusion and the retaining claw.

Next, in fitting means of the buckle member and the belt member of a type in which the belt member is supported by a spring force, an action works by use of this spring so as to relieve a force applied to the engaging part of the buckle member and the belt member, with the result that the buckle member and the belt member are not easily extracted.

Incidentally, in the means of connecting the buckle member and the belt member of a type in which part of the belt member is provided with a structure that causes the fixed member to be supported by insertion or engaged, it is possible to make stronger the connection between the buckle member and the belt member.

When the movable member has an opposed rack screw and the spring member has a pair of buttress threads meshing with the rack screw, it is possible to obtain desired connection strength of the buckle member and the belt member.

The present invention has many excellent objects, features, operations and advantages of the features, which will be made clear in the following embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First Embodiment

First, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In this case, as an associated object A, there is adopted a type in which several horizontal mounting belts (two horizontal mounting belts in FIG. 3) are provided in part of the surface of clothes, such as guard clothes and a vest for fighting.

As a long member B, such as a magazine porch and a belt, a magazine porch that has an opening and closing cover 1 on a top surface thereof and is made of a relatively hard woven cloth, synthetic resin or the like is taken into consideration.

The reference numeral 3 denotes a flat mounting plate that is long in a longitudinal direction, and there are latching members 4 that protrude from the back surface of the mounting plate 3 outwardly and at intervals in the vertical direction of the back surface of the mounting plate. By providing this latching member 4 as a downward hook 100, a fitting groove 5 capable of fitting against the above-described mounting belt 2 is formed and a protrusion 101 in the form of an arrow tip is provided on the inner side of the terminal end of the hook 100.

There are a plurality of grommet holes 102 in the periphery of this mounting plate 3, and by use of grommets 103 the mounting plate is fixed to the back surface of the attachment member B of the above-described magazine porch in an unremovable manner.

Accordingly, it is necessary only that the hook 100 of the latching member 4 provided on the mounting plate 3 be fitted into the mounting belt of the above-described associated object, and the attachment of this attachment member B to an associated object A, such as clothes, or detachment thereof can be easily performed.

Incidentally, it is important that in fitting this associated object A into the mounting belt, the protrusion 101 in the form of an arrow tip be in contact with the lower edge of the mounting belt on the inner side of the terminal end of the hook 100, and by ensuring this, it is possible to prevent accidents, such as the slipping-off of the associated object A from the mounting belt 2 that might occur for no reason.

Second Embodiment

Next, the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, with the same numerals as in the first embodiment referring to the same parts.

In this embodiment, the latching member 4 of the above-described mounting plate 3 is such that part of the mounting plate 3 is cut in the shape of the letter U 104 and this part is extruded outwardly by press forming and the like. There is provided a protrusion 7 that faces an open portion 6 at the terminal end of the above-described fitting groove 5 from the top end of this cut-in part 104 so as to block the open portion 15.

Accordingly, in several belts 2 provided in clothes, such as a vest, which are to be fitted to the open portion 6 from the bottom end of the above-described fitting groove 5, there is devised a method which is such that in this case, the lower edge of the belt 2 and the upper edge of the protrusion 7 abut on each other so that the belt is not easily extracted.

Third Embodiment

FIGS. 7 and 9 show the third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, there are provided the same unillustrated associated object as in the above embodiments, such as a vest, several mounting belts 2, and a mounting plate 3 fixed to the back surface of the above-described long member by use of means, such as grommets. Furthermore, there are provided a dished mantle member 8 and a movable member 9 that is fitted into the mantle member 8 so as to be able to move in an opening manner.

The mantle member 8 is provided with latching members 4 as downward bent hooks 100 in one or several places (three places in the figure) at intervals in the vertical direction of the back surface of the mantle member. Furthermore, in the vertical direction of this mantle member 8, window holes 10 are bored in one or several places (three places in the figure) just under the above-described latching member 4.

The above-described movable member 9 is in the form of a flat plate capable of fitting into the mantle member 8 and there are protrusions 7 in several places (three places in the figure) in the vertical direction of this mantle member. The protrusions can be inserted into the window holes 10 of the above-described mantle member 8 and the insertion length thereof is large enough to support the lower edge of the above-described belt 2.

The above-described mounting plate 3 is in the form of a flat plate covering the above-described mantle member 8 and there are many grommet holes 102 in the periphery thereof. The mounting plate is fixed to the mantle member 8 by use of grommets 103. The diagram of the mounting plate after the completion of assembling is shown in FIG. 8.

Accordingly, to the back surface of the above-described mounting plate is attached the above-described attachment member 8, such as a magazine porch. The latching member 4 of the mantle member 8 is fitted into the mounting belt 2 of the above-described associated object A, such as clothes. The lower edge of the belt 2, which is a long member B, is supported in contact with the protrusion 7 of the movable member 9. Therefore, for example, even when the user makes vigorous motions, there is no fear that the motions might cause the magazine porch and other junction means to fall from the associated object A.

Fourth Embodiment

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, a through hole 105 is bored in the middle part of the top surface of the above-described mantle member 8. And a pressing part 106 which can be inserted into this through hole 105 and whose top end can be caused to protrude from the top surface of the mantle member 8 is provided on one side of the movable member 9, and a spring 11 of resin or the like, which is formed in the shape of the letter “S” 107 protruding downward from the lower edge, is provided upward from the terminal end of the movable member 9.

Accordingly, when it is necessary to remove a magazine porch and the like in an emergency, with the latching member 4 fitted into the mounting belt 2 as described above, by depressing the pressing element 107 downward against the pressing force of the spring 11 of resin or the like, the junction between the lower edge of the associated object A (three belts in the figure) provided on the vest and the protrusion 7 of the above-described movable member 9 becomes released. Therefore, it has become possible to immediately remove the magazine porch from the associated object A.

Fifth Embodiment

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 16, attachment is performed so as to contain an associated object B, such as a belt, and the reference numeral 12 denotes a fixed plate attached to clothes, such as a vest, by use of means of attachment by sewing as in the above-described embodiments.

This fixed plate 12 is a long channel plate 108 having a relatively narrow width and both sides of the top end portion thereof protrude forward 109, 110. There is a horizontal shaft 111 in the protrusions 109, 110.

At the terminal end of this fixed plate 12, there is provided a box portion 112 that protrudes forward, and the top surface of the box portion is open 113. The reference numeral 14 denotes a pressing member in the shape of a flat plate that is long in the longitudinal direction. The top end of the pressing member is bent downward 114 and it is important that the bent length be twice the length of the above-described shaft 111.

That is, because the shaft 111 can be inserted into a retaining hole 115 made by forming this bent portion 114, in this case it is possible to move the pressing member 14 up and down by twice the diameter of the shaft 111 by using the shaft 111 as a guide.

The terminal end of this pressing member 14 can be inserted into the box portion 112 from the open portion 113 of the box portion 112 provided in the upper-edge fixed member 12 and also can push up the fixed member 14. In this case, the fixed member 14 is pushed up to the top surface and it is also possible to release the engagement with the box portion 112. In this case, the fixed member 14 can be caused to perform a fan-like motion, with the fitting portion between the above-described shaft 111 and the retaining hole 115 serving as the supporting point.

Therefore, when the members of this embodiment are used, with the fixed member 14 kept in this open condition, the member provided on the associated object B, such as a belt, can be placed as the fixed member 14. In this case, therefore, it is necessary only that the belt 2 or the like perform the action of moving the associated object B in the width direction of the belt, and it is possible to make the operation easy.

And if the pressing member 14 is placed, for example, from the back surface side of the belt and the terminal end thereof is fitted into the box portion 112 from the open portion 113 of the box portion 112, it is possible to reliably hold the belt or the like between the fixed member 12 and the pressing member 14.

In contrast, when the belt or the like is to be detached, the belt or the like can be easily detached simply by pushing up the pressing member 14 from the condition of FIG. 10 to the condition of FIG. 11.

Incidentally, in the case of this embodiment, the terminal end of the pressing member 14 is formed as a hook 116 as shown in FIG. 16 and a flange 117 that engages with this hook is provided on the inner side of the upper edge of the above-described box portion 112. In this manner, it is ensured that the members are easily detached in releasing the engagement of each member without easy detachment of the pressing member 14 inserted into this box portion 112. Incidentally, the above-described box portion 112 may be in the form of a rectangular cylinder whose lower edge is also open.

Sixth Embodiment

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 17 to 25, the pressing member 14 of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 14 to 16 above is provided in quantities of two, thereby ensuring more reliable and firm engagement of the associated object A with the belt 2 and easy release of the engagement at the same time.

That is, the fixed member 12 is in the form of an upright picture frame 118, an upper edge 119 and a lower edge 120 thereof are provided in a protruding manner, and on both sides thereof there are provided insertion holes 121, 122 through which the pair of pressing members 14 can be inserted. The same shaft 111 as in the fifth embodiment above is provided in this upper insertion hole 121. A protrusion 123 is provided on the inner side of the lower insertion hole 122.

On the other hand, the upper edge of the pressing member 14 inserted into the insertion holes 121, 122 is rounded to from a stopper 124, and the upper edge of the bottom end portion thereof has a hole 125 that engages with a protrusion 123.

In using this buckle member, a magazine porch that is fixed, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, by inserting an unillustrated grommet into a grommet hole 126 of the fixed member 12 is taken into consideration. And the belt 2 is interposed between an upper edge 119 and a lower edge 120 of the upper-edge fixed member.

When the pair of pressing members 14 is thereafter inserted into the upper and lower insertion holes 111, 112 from outside the belt 2, the stopper 124 at the top end thereof becomes engaged with the shaft 111 and the lower hole 125 becomes engaged with the protrusion 123 of the above-described insertion hole 122. As a result of this, the above-described belt 2 that is attached fixedly does not become disengaged without easy separation of the pressing member 14 from the fixed member 12.

Seventh Embodiment

The embodiment shown in FIGS. 22 to 25 provide a further improvement on the sixth embodiment made for simplification and the pair of pressing members 14 in the structure shown in FIGS. 14 to 16 above is arranged side by side in a line. Because the structure shown in FIGS. 22 is almost the same as shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, descriptions of the configuration and operation are omitted.

Eighth Embodiment

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 26 to 29, there are provided a fixed member 15 attached to an associated object A and a back-surface member 18 which is mounted in a swingable manner in the vicinity of the upper edge of a cover member 19 of this fixed member 16 and the other end of which is made rotatable in a fan-like motion, with a rotating member 17 and the upper edge being mounted to this rotating member 17 in a swingable manner, the member B is the back-surface member 18 causing the rotating member 17 to support the fixed member 15 via the attachment member B such as a belt.

FIG. 27(A) is a general assembly perspective view, FIG. 27(B) shows a back-surface member, and FIG. 27(C) is a perspective view of a rotating member.

Detailed descriptions will be given with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29. The above-described fixed member 15 is in the form of a long box with an open front surface and there is a back-surface member 18 so that the back-surface member can move a little up and down within the fixed member 15 along the inner side of the back surface of the fixed member. Below the front surface of the fixed member, there is provided a retaining protrusion 20 that protrudes forward, and on the back surface of the fixed member, there is provided a protruding long member 127 that protrudes outwardly. A spring member 128 seen in FIG. 26 engages with the protruding long member 127 of the above-described back-surface member 18 interposed with respect to the fixed member 15 of the above-described back-surface member 18, and this spring member 128 is constantly pressed upward.

The rotating member 17 is such that the inner side of the upper edge thereof is capable of engagement with an upper-edge hook portion 130 of the above-described fixed member 15, and in the lower part thereof there is provided a concavity 131 capable of fitting with the retaining protrusion 20.

The cover member 19 whose upper edge is attached to this rotating member 17 is such that an engaging hook portion 132 provided in the lower edge thereof can engage with an engagement member 133 protruding upward from the lower edge of the above-described back-surface member 18.

And with the cover member 19 kept in an open condition, the belt attached by this attachment is placed on the surface of the rotating member 17. And when the cover member 19 is closed and pressed in the direction of the back-surface member 18, a hook 129 of the rotating member 17 and the engaging hook portion 132 become connected and the hook portion 130 and the engagement member 133 become connected. At the same time, the concavity 131 of the rotating member 17 and the retaining protrusion 20 of the back-surface member 18 become engaged. Thanks to the action of the spring member 128, the above-described engagement condition is reliably maintained and there is no fear that the belt 2 might be easily extracted. On the other hand, in removing the belt 2, the engagement with the rotating member 17 is released by pressing the cover member 19, whereby the belt can be easily removed.

Ninth Embodiment

Next, the configuration of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 30 to 32 will be described. Also in this embodiment, a junctional structure and junction means of various buckle members for wearing are used to attach a long member B, such as a belt 2, to an associated object A, such as clothes by use of means that contains the long member therein. There are provided, a dished fixed member 23 that is attached to an associated object A and has upper and lower two through holes 22, a supporting member 24 capable of moving in a sliding manner, which causes a long member B, such as a belt, to be supported in a sandwiched manner by bringing the long member B into contact with the back surface of the fixed member 23, and a sideways moving member 27 having a hooked protruding piece 26 one end portion of which can be fitted into one end portion of the supporting member.

As specifically shown in FIG. 32(C), the protruding piece 26 of this sideways moving member 27 is such that this protruding piece 26 is inserted into the upper through hole 22 of the fixed member 23 and at the same time the supporting member 24 of the sideways moving member 27 is inserted into the lower through hole 22 of the fixed member 23, whereby the protruding piece 26 is a little pushed up. As a result of this, as shown in FIG. 32(B), the outer surface of the protruding piece 26 abuts on the inner surface of the upper through hole 22 near the upper edge and the supporting member 24 abuts on the inner surface of a rising portion 134 of the sideways moving member.

In this case, within the above-described dished fixed member 23, a vertical plate spring 136 is interposed in an open surface 135 of the fixed member 23 and one end of the plate spring abuts on the outside of the protruding piece 26 present in the above-described sideways moving member 27. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 32(A), the sideways moving member 27 is constantly pressed outwardly.

Accordingly, the belt 2 is interposed within the sideways moving member 27 from the horizontal direction thereof as indicated by an alternate long and two short dashes line in FIG. 32(C), and in this case the sideways moving member 27 is reliably held to the fixed member 23 by use of the upper and lower protruding pieces 26 and the supporting member 24. Therefore, even when vigorous motions are transmitted to the belt 2 of the long member B, there is no fear that the detachment might easily occur.

Tenth Embodiment

Incidentally, a further improvement on the ninth embodiment is shown in FIGS. 33 and 34. A vertical wavy spring of resin or the like 28 is disposed in the place where the plate spring 136 presents in the above-described sideways moving member 27. The terminal end of the spring of resin or the like 28 engages with the inner surface of the bottom of the sideways moving member 27, and the top end thereof protrudes upward via a through hole 137 provided in the upper edge of the sideways moving member 27.

When the fixed member 23 and the sideways moving member 27 keep a fitting condition, the spring of resin or the like 28 presses the outside of the protruding piece 26 present in the sideways moving member 27 and supports the band B between the fixed member 23 and the sideways moving member 27 by sandwiching the band B. In releasing this supported condition in a sandwiched manner, the pressing by the sideways moving member 27 is released by use of the above-described spring of resin or the like 28 by simply pressing downward the top end of the spring of resin or the like 28, and, therefore, the sideways moving member 27 can be detached from the fixed member. Thus, the long member B can be easily released.

Eleventh Embodiment

FIGS. 35 to 37 show a junctional structure and junction means of various buckle members for wearing used to attach a long member B, such as a belt. On the back surface are provided upper and lower two protrusions 161 and there are fitting holes 162 along the central axis line of the protrusions. A pressing member 14 is provided by being fitted into each of the fitting holes 162, 162.

Incidentally, in the same manner as in the tenth embodiment this pressing member 14 fits the belt 2 into the pressing member 14, thereby preventing the rotation of the belt. The reference numeral 24 denotes a supporting member having an upward hooked protruding piece 26 on the front surface thereof, and this supporting member 24 is fixed with a gap between the supporting member and the pressing member 14. And within this gap, a lock plate 163 having a retaining protrusion 164 is fitted and fixed. This retaining protrusion 164 engages with a through hole 165 on the front surface of the supporting member 24.

The reference numeral 166 denotes a release button. The leading end of the release button protrudes from the top end of the supporting member 24 and the top end thereof abuts on the top end of the above-described lock plate 165.

The engagement of the retaining protrusion 164 with the fitting hole 162 is released by pressing this release button 166.

A fixed plate 167 to which a bag article, such as a magazine porch, is fixed has a downward hook piece 168 on the back surface thereof and this hook piece 168 is intended for fitting. At this time, the retaining protrusion 164 of the lock plate 165 is held to the protruding piece 26 in a retaining manner, and in releasing this lock, it is necessary only that the retaining of the protruding piece 26 be released.

Twelfth Embodiment

FIGS. 38 to 42 show an embodiment in which a junctional structure and junction means of various buckle members for wearing are used to attach a long member B, such as a belt, by use of means that contains the long member therein. There are provided a fixed member 30 in the form of a square dish having one vertical through groove, and a supporting member 33 that has a claw member 31 capable of fitting into the through groove 29 and is provided with a retaining portion 32 capable of supporting a long member, such as a belt, by insertion.

FIG. 38(A) is a perspective view of the fixed member 30 as viewed from the back surface side, FIG. 38(B) is a front perspective view of this embodiment, and FIG. 38(C) is a perspective view of this embodiment as viewed from the back surface side.

The fixed member 30 has many screw holes 138 for the fixing of the fixed member 30 to clothes and a bag article, such as a magazine porch, and on the back surface of the fixed member, a channel member 141 whose vertical direction is open 139, 140 is simultaneously molded.

A supporting member 33 is similarly formed from a channel member. The surface of the supporting member is extended upward like a pair of crab claws, and there is a claw member 31 whose middle portion is open, which is called a release lever.

This claw member 31 can be inserted into a rail 142 formed by the channel member 141 of the above-described fixed member 30.

In this case, the top end of the claw member 31 protrudes upward from the upper edge of the channel member 141, and on both sides of the upper part of the claw member 31 there is each an engagement part 143 that protrudes outwardly. This engagement part 143 can engage with the upper edge of the channel member 141.

On both sides of this supporting member 33 there is each a long through groove 29 through which a long member, such as a belt, is inserted. When a long member B is inserted into this through groove 29 and the claw member 31 of the supporting member 33 is inserted into the channel member 141 of the fixed member 30, the engagement part 143 of the claw member 31 and the upper edge of the channel member 141 become engaged and the fixed member 30, i.e., a magazine porch or the like attached thereto can be easily latched via the belt.

When the fixed member 30 to which a magazine porch or the like is fixed is to be rapidly detached, by pressing inwardly the top end portion of the above-described claw member 31 from both surfaces thereof, the engagement between the engagement part 143 of the claw member 31 and the top surface of the channel member 141 becomes released. Therefore, the engagement member 30 can be instantaneously detached from the long member B. Incidentally, when the above-described claw member 31 is a spring of resin or the like that is integrally molded with the supporting member 33, the manufacturing of the claw member is easy.

Thirteenth Embodiment

FIGS. 43 to 45 show also an embodiment in which a junctional structure and junction means of various buckle members for wearing are used to attach a long member B, such as a belt, to an associated object A, by use of means that contains the long member therein. It is possible to support a long member B, such as a belt, fitted into an associated object A by insertion. There are provided a dished engagement member 37 having one or several radial grooves 34 and a fixed member 35 of this embodiment that has, on the periphery thereof, radial protrusions 36 capable of fitting into the radial grooves 34 of this engagement member 37. By rotating the engagement member 37, the engagement member 37 is connected to the fixed member 35 by fitting.

To be more precise, the engagement member 37 in this embodiment is in the form of a square dish and in both side portions thereof there is provided each a long through groove 29 through which a long member B, such as a belt, is inserted. And in a square swollen area of the surface, there are provided a round hole portion 144 on the central axis line and radial grooves 34 that are radial with respect to the hole portion 144, the number of radial grooves being four in this embodiment.

The fixed member 35 is provided, on the back surface thereof, with many grommet holes 145 for fixing a bag article, such as a magazine porch, and the like and the fixed member has, on a front surface thereof, a swollen area capable of fitting closely into the hole portion 144 of the above-described engagement member 37. The fixed member has, on the periphery thereof, protrusions 36 (radially in four places).

This protrusion 36 can fit into the radial groove 34 of the above-described engagement member 37, and after the fitting of the protrusion, the fixed member 35 and the engagement member 37 abut on each other by the rotation of the engagement member 37.

Accordingly, a long member, such as a belt, is inserted into the through groove 29 of the engagement member 37 and, with the engagement member 37 kept inserted, the fixed member 35 is rotated as described above for integral connection. As a result of this, a long member, such as a belt, is supported by being included in the engagement member 37. Therefore, there is no fear that a long member, such as a belt, might be detached from the engagement member 37 even in the case of vigorous motions.

Incidentally, by providing a spring material 146 whose one end protrudes from an appropriate position of the fixed member 36 in the direction of the engagement member 37 as shown in FIG. 43, it is possible to restrict the moving of an inserted long member B, such as a belt, in a sliding manner.

Fourteenth Embodiment

FIGS. 46 to 50 show also an embodiment in which a junctional structure and junction means of various buckle members for wearing are used to attach a long member B, such as a belt 2, by use of means that contains the long member therein. It is possible to support the belt 2 fitted into a lower edge groove 45 by insertion, and there are provided a fixed member 39 in which a wide longitudinal groove 38 is formed in the axial line direction and a movable member 40 that can move in a sliding manner by being inserted into the longitudinal groove 38. The movable member 40 has an opposed rack screw 41 and a pair of buttress threads 42 meshing with this rack screw 41. There is a spring member 43 of resin or the like that presses outwardly each of the pair of buttress threads 42. A picking part 44 that works in the direction in which the pressing force of the spring member 43 is released is provided in the above-described fixed portion 39.

To be precise, the fixed member 39 of this embodiment having many grommet holes 138 in FIG. 47 is formed from a channel member, and from the lower edge of the surface thereof toward the front, there is provided a lower-edge groove 45 through which a hooked long member B is inserted.

The movable member 40 has a height approximately twice the height of the fixed member 39, and is flat. The lower part of the movable member can be inserted into the longitudinal groove 38 formed from the channel member of the above-described fixed member 39 and can slide within the longitudinal groove 38.

The upper edge of this movable member 40 has an upper-edge groove 147 in the form of a hook that extends downward to a position where the upper edge of the movable member opposes a lower-edge groove 45 of the above-described fixed member in an up-and-down relation. Eventually, a long member B, such as a belt, is supported in such a manner that the upper edge thereof is fitted in by the engagement with the upper-edge groove 147 of this movable member 40 and that the lower edge thereof is fitted in by the engagement with the lower-edge groove 45 of the fixed member 39.

The back surface of this movable member 40 has a longitudinal groove 148 that extends along almost the whole length thereof, and the opposed inner side surface has a rack screw 41. The reference numeral 43 denotes a spring member of resin or the like, which has the shape of a rhombus 149, and from a pair of horizontal bent portions 150 of the rhombus, there protrudes outwardly a pair of picking parts 44.

A buttress thread 42 engaging with the above-described rack screw 41 is provided behind the above-described horizontal bent portion 150, and this buttress thread 42 can mesh with the rack screw 41 of the above-described movable member 40. And the above-described pair of picking parts 44 is present on the back surface of the fixed member 39 and is fitted into sliding grooves 151, 152 of a horizontal central axis line thereof.

In this case, it is essential that the meshing condition of the buttress thread 42 of the above-described spring member 43 with the rack screw 41 be ensured by a so called chuck screw which is such that the buttress thread 42 can be operated upward, but it is impossible to cause the buttress thread 42 to descend unless the above-described picking parts 44 are pressed inwardly.

Accordingly, by inserting a long member B, such as a belt, into the lower-edge groove 45 of the fixed member 39 and the upper-edge groove 147 of the movable member 40, owing to the action of the spring member 43 it is possible to prevent accidents, such as the disengagement of the long member B during use, and it is also possible to easily remove the long member B simply by pressing the spring member 43 inwardly from both sides.

Fifteenth Embodiment

Like the above-described fourteenth embodiment, also the embodiment shown in FIGS. 51 to 60 provides a junctional structure and junction means of various buckle members for wearing used to attach a long member B, such as a magazine porch. FIG. 52(A) is a diagram showing the condition after the completion of assembling of the whole, FIG. 52(B) is an exploded perspective view of the whole, and FIG. 52(C) is a perspective view of the appearance of a cover body 50.

On the back surface of the above-described member B, there is provided a dished mounting plate 47 fixed in an unremovable manner by use of means, such as a grommet.

The reference numeral 48 denotes a pair of wavy springs having waves of reliable and reverse shapes, and both ends of the horizontal middle part of the wavy spring is spanned and pinched by a spring member 49. The terminal end portion of each of the spring members 49 is mounted in a swingable manner to a protruding shaft 51 that protrudes backward from a mounting plate 47, and the top end thereof is loosely fitted into working holes 52 prepared in the upper and lower edges of the mounting plate 47 and is caused to protrude 153 upward.

In the figures, the reference numeral 50 denotes a pair of upper and lower windows 154 which incorporate the above-described spring member 49 and into which the wavy spring 48 of the spring member 49 is inserted. In this embodiment, several belt bodies used in a vest are shown as an associated object A, such as clothes. And this belt body is present on the back surface of a cover member 50 and is interposed between windows 154 or between protrusions 155 when there is no window.

And this cover body 50 is firmly fitted into a mounting plate 47, with the spring member 49 interposed. At this time, the wavy spring 48 of the spring member 49 engages with both sides of the window 154 and the engagement is not easily released.

When this magazine porch is to be detached from the belt body, the cover body 50 can be easily removed by grasping a protrusion 143 of the spring member 49 and contracting the protrusion inwardly against the pressing force of the wavy spring 48. Incidentally, in the above-described embodiment, the belt body attached to the cover body 50 was provided in a plurality of numbers. As a matter of course, as shown in FIG. 56, the belt body may also be provided as a single unit.

The reference numeral 53 denotes a supporting member that has a cross section in the shape of the letter U and can support a belt or the like within the U-shaped part by insertion. Either or both of two legs 54, 55 of this supporting member 53 have a protrusion 56 capable of pressing an associated object A or causing the associated object A to be engaged in, and there is provided an engagement member 57 that can cause each to engage with the terminal ends of the above-described two legs 54, 55.

The back surface of this supporting member 53 is intended for fixing to the magazine porch by use of a screw and the like. A long member B, such as a belt, is interposed within the supporting member 53, and the long member can be held and fixed by the engagement of each engagement member 57.

In this case, the protrusion 56 of this holding member 53 is engaged a little into the long member B, such as a belt, thereby making the connection and fixing reliable.

Seventeenth Embodiment

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 65 to 69, a junction device intended for use in a chin strap of a helmet or a suspension belt of trousers is taken into consideration.

There is a latching-member main body 61 that is radially provided with windows 58, 59, 60 through which a bent portion B1 of a long belt member B formed in the shape of the letter V and portions B2, B3 of the long member B that are a little obliquely above can be inserted.

There are provided a flat cylindrical female engagement member 62 whose top end portion and bottom end portion are latched to a top end and a bottom end of the latching-member main body 61, and a male engagement member 63 which can be connected to this female engagement member 62 by being fitted in and to a bottom end of which is fixed a top end of another belt B4 in an unremovable manner.

As an example of engagement means of the above-described latching-member main body 61 and engagement member 62, an engagement protrusion 155 is provided outwardly from the top end of the latching-member main body 61, and the latching-member main body 61 is provided with a concave part 156 into which the above-described engagement protrusion 155 can fit when the latching-member main body 61 and the engagement member 62 are superposed on each other.

A hooked protruding member 157 that protrudes backward in the same manner as described above is provided at the terminal end of the engagement member 62 and a lateral axis 158 that engages with this hooked protruding member is provided in the latching-member main body 61. By the engagement of each member, for example, a belt body wound on the back side and a belt body provided on the trousers side can be easily connected.

Incidentally, the male engagement member 63 has an engagement piece 159 in the form of crab claws, which protrudes upward therefrom, and an engagement hole 160 into which the pair of engagement pieces 159 fit is provided on both shoulders of the above-described female engagement member 62. When the female and male engagement members 62, 63 are to be disengaged, this can be easily accomplished by pressing each of the above-described claw-like engagement pieces 159 inwardly.
