Benefits of technology

The patent is for a buckle made up of male and female members that can be easily connected and disconnected. The female member has a recess and a top bar, while the male member has a pin and a top bar. When the male member's pin is inserted into the female member's recess, the buckle is fastened. To unlock the buckle, the top bars of both members are pressed together to disengage the pin. The design allows for quick and easy connection and disconnection of straps, such as a wrist strap.

Problems solved by technology

While such devices operate satisfactorily, they are cumbersome to operate and adjust.
In addition, the area of the strap which passes through and engages the buckle becomes worn over time, thereby limiting the life of the strap.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the quick release buckle 2 according to the invention includes a female member 4 and a male member 6 which are designed to be fastened via a hinge connection as will be developed in greater detail below.

[0022]The female member is shown in greater detail in FIGS. 4-7. It has a front portion 4a and a rear portion 4b, a top surface 4c and a bottom surface 4d. The front portion is partially cut away to define an opening 8. In addition, the front portion contains a recess 10 in the top surface. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the recess extends laterally relative to the female member and intercepts the cut away opening 8. The ends of the recess extend through the sides of the female member via openings 12. The recess includes an undercut portion 10a which extends forwardly at least partially beneath the top surface on opposite sides of the opening 8 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The front wall of the female member defining the undercut recess preferably has a concave...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Accuracy in archery can be enhanced through the use of a bow release. Typically, the bow release includes a trigger mechanism which opens opposed jaws to release a bowstring. For convenience, a bow release is connected with a wrist strap which is worn by the archer. Such straps may be cumbersome to attach or adjust. The present invention relates to an improved buckle system quickly mounting and releasing a wrist strap to an archer.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]Conventional wrist straps have a buckle, such as a belt type buckle at one end for receiving and retaining the free end of the strap. The strap is wrapped around the wrist and the free end is inserted into the buckle. The free end contains a plurality of longitudinally spaced openings for receiving a clasp or arm of the buckle. When the strap is pulled tight, the clasp is inserted into the appropriate opening in the free end of the strap and the free end is secured.[0003]While such de...
