Description

  The present invention is a buckle, in particular, a strap belt is provided through a female member and a male member, and an adapter is detachably attached to the central part of the female member and the male member. Operate for use in applications.

  At present, buckles (fasteners) are very universal, and some of these buckles are mostly male and female, with two belts (leather belt, cloth belt, strap belt). The free end is movably provided or fixedly connected. Then, the other end of the two belt-like bodies is fixed on the article so that the male member and the female member are oppositely connected and fixed, and then the belt-like body is tightened or the two belt-like bodies are attached. On the other hand, the purpose of binding and fixing can be achieved. This type of male / female buckle has a wide range of use, such as shoes, bags, clothing, rucksacks, waist pouches, waist belts, suitcases, shoulder belts, helmets, bicycle equipment (eg water bottles, tools) The present invention can be applied to articles that need to be fixed with a belt or a container case, a seat belt (for example, a vehicle play equipment, a stroller, etc.) or other belt-like body. In general, different types of buckles have different engagement methods, have different functions, and have different uses.

  By the way, at the time of use of the article exemplified above, it is often convenient to hold each article so that other articles can be attached and detached. For example, in a scene where you go out to the suburbs by cycling, mountain climbing, fishing, etc. with a rucksack, you can attach these holders to the rucksack and hold such items as water bottles and repair tools in a removable manner. Can be easily removed from the holder when necessary and can be held again after use.

  However, when such a holder is passed through the belt-like body and fixed to the rucksack, replacement work with another type of holder becomes troublesome. In addition, when a plurality of types of holders are fixed to the rucksack, a holder that is not used gets in the way and impairs convenience.

  Therefore, in view of the above problems and disadvantages, the inventor gathered related materials, conducted multifaceted evaluations and thoughts, and with many years of experience accumulated by those skilled in the art, he continuously made prototypes and modifications, and thus made such a novelty. The invention of the structure was designed.
