The present invention relates to a buckle assembly with at least one buckle and at least one trigger trigger, wherein the buckle has a first buckle member and at least one other buckle member and the first buckle member has at least one latch, which between a Verriege-5 ment position of the bolt and an unlocked position of the bolt back and forth is movable, wherein in a connecting position of the buckle components of the latch in its locking position, a locking surface of the further Schnalienbau part engages behind each other for locking the two buckle components and the bolt for separating the buckle components in its unlocked position 10 and the trigger trigger means of at least one Transmission line, in particular in the form of a Bowden cable, is connected to at least one of the buckle components.

Generic Schnaiienanordnungen can z. B, then used when it comes to a person having to carry on the body loads from which they must be able to separate quickly in an emergency situation or the like. The buckle assembly may, for. B. be integrated into a belt system of a backpack or the like. By opening the buckle or the buckles, the person in an emergency situation or the like can quickly get rid of the backpack or other attached to her 20 by means of the arrangement load, In the case of only one buckle, the advantage is mainly that the buckle of a Remote location can be opened by remote control. This is favorable, for example, when the buckle is arranged in a place which is difficult or impossible to reach. A drawstring-openable buckle is e.g. in US Pat. No. 6,487,761 B2. In addition, in the case of a plurality of buckles, the above-mentioned partial arrangement is that the person does not have to open each buckle one at a time, but all the clasps must be opened »RttLeiii.tj neim • f * * * ιΦ Mfi M * *« · · · · · * * »» «« · »* * t * * * *» »« «* * · ♦» «« You can also open a remote trigger by pressing the trigger at the same time.

WO 2009/143 410 A2 discloses already a very simple structured genus-5 contemporary buckle assembly with multiple buckles, Here is worked with cables to open the buckles centrally or by remote triggering can. In WO 2009/143 464 A2 also generic buckle assemblies are shown. From this document it is known to use as a transmission line Bowden cables, pneumatic, hydraulic or electrical lines. 10

In all known in the prior art buckle assemblies, the trigger trigger acts on the correspondcen transmission lines on the latch of the respective buckles of the buckle assembly to bring them from the locking position to the unlocked position. 15

In the above applications, the buckles must be easy to operate and with the least possible effort to separate the buckle components from each other. On the other hand, the buckles when they are in the connecting position and the one or more latches are in his or her Verriegelungsstel-20 ment, but also withstand large tensile loads without being accidentally opened. Inadvertent or accidental opening of the connection between the buckle components is usually absolutely necessary in the abovementioned areas of application. It is therefore an object to be able to operate a generic buckle arrangement with remote release on the one hand in an easy to operate manner, but on the other hand also very reliably.

This is achieved according to the invention in that the further buckle component has at least 30 a counterbolt which can be moved by actuating the trigger trigger from a locking position of the counterbolt into an unlocking position of the counterbolt. 31/05 2011] 1: bü ΙΆΑ -43 / 3333 ramme neiei LV.I 1 / w u u / uu > > i • · »

A basic idea of the present invention is therefore, in addition to the at least one latch of the first buckle component, to provide at least one counter-latch on the second buckle component, thereby achieving that in the locking position of the bolt and the counter-bolt the two buckle components are particularly firmly connected to one another, So can absorb high tensile forces. Furthermore, this also increases the operational safety, since to separate the buckle components from each other both the Riege! as well as the counter latch must be moved to the respective unlocked position. Accidental release of the two Schnal-10 lenbauteile each other is thereby very unlikely or completely prevented. Preferably, by a connection of the trigger trigger with the counter latch via a transmission line of the counter latch from the trigger trigger, and thus from a remote location, movable into its unlocked position. In principle, it is conceivable that the first buckle component also has a locking surface, which is engaged behind in the locking position of the counter-bolt. Particularly preferred embodiments of the invention provide that the counter latch has at least one support surface and locked in its locking position with its support surface or at least one of the 20 bars in its locking division. In other words, it is thus provided in these embodiments that the support surface of the counter-bolt, when both latch and counter latch are in the respective locking position, supported so that the bolt can not be moved to its unlocked position, as long as the counter latch is in its locking position. In these embodiments, the Ge genriegei must then be brought first or at least simultaneously with the latch from its locking position to its unlocked position so that the latch can be moved to its unlocked position. Only when the latch and counter-latch are both operated accordingly can the buckle members be separated from each other. 31/05 2011 11:52 FAX +43 5522 7335H Fatenre Jieroj I ^ JUUU »/ uu O i 9 9 9 9 9 · · * * | 9 · 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 · * 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 * 9 9 9 9 9 9 99 * 9 * * < 4

For the sake of completeness, it is pointed out that even if in the claims of R: egel and the counter latch in places only in the singular is mentioned, a variety of embodiments are conceivable. The first Schnaltenbauteil but one or more, such. B. have two, four or six bars of the sign-5 th type. The same applies to the second buckle component, this also may have one, but also two or more counter-latch, which work in the manner described or with a bolt or more bars of the first buckle component cooperate. The connection position of the buckle components is understood to mean the position in which the buckle components have been brought into contact with each other and / or in engagement so far that the bolt can be brought into its locking position or, if it is not, in particular by forces from outside which is held automatically occupies. The fact that the 15 buckle components are in this connection position does not say anything about the actual position of the bolt and / or the counter bolt. Both can be located in corresponding embodiments in the connection position of the buckle components both in their locking position and in their unlocked position. Conveniently, however, it is provided that the latch 20 and / or the counter latch is biased and are in the connecting position of the buckle components automatically occupies the, preferably respective, locking position or occupy, unless he or she, in particular by external forces , is prevented from doing so. 25 The locking position of the bolt is the position in which this engages behind the associated locking surface of the second buckle component. The unlocking position of the bolt is the position in which the bolt releases the locking surface of the second buckle component. So that the buckle components can be separated from one another, the bolt or all latches 30 of the first buckle component must therefore be in the unlocked position. The locking position of the counter-bolt is that position in which the counter-bolt locks the bolt in its locking position or a corresponding lock is made or a corresponding bolt is inserted.

The unlocking position of the counter-bolt is in each case the position in which it releases the said components. The engaging behind the respective buckle component with bolt and / or counter latch as well as the locking of the bolt in its locking position by means of the 5 support surface of the counter-bolt is advantageously carried out via a corresponding

Form-fitting. The term of grasping is in its most general version in the sense of fix or to understand to understand.

In general, the buckle components are formed so that one of the buckle-10 parts has a male, outwardly projecting extension, with which it engages or is inserted into a corresponding recess of the other buckle component in the connecting position of the two buckle components. In this sense, it is common to speak of a male and a female buckle component. However, mixed forms are also conceivable in the invention in which both buckle components have corresponding projections and recesses, with which they then engage each other in the connecting position in preferred embodiments, that the first buckle component has at least one elastic restoring element which engages the bolt in Rich-20 tion biased its locking position. The same applies favorably also for the second buckle component or the counter bolt. Here too, it is thus advantageously provided that the second buckle component has at least one elastic return element, which pretensions the counterbolt in the direction of its locking pitch. The reset elements are each suitably laid out so that they, as soon as bolt and / or counter latch are released, move them back into the respective locking position by means of their elastic restoring forces. The elastic return elements can be designed very differently. They may be springs, in particular coil springs, leaf springs or the like, but also bodies made of elastomer, e.g. Rubber rings act, just to name a few examples. However, the elastic return elements can also be integrated directly into the latches and / or the counter latches by correspondingly elastically formed regions in the respective latches and / or grooves 31 / IM &gt; Zl &gt;] 1 ijraä h AA + 4J δδΖά / ojqm rai.eiiiL * neitij l £ J UW J i / WUÜ l 6 are available or that they are each fully elastic. The bolt is conveniently movable in or on the first buckle component, preferably pivotally mounted. The counter latch, however, is conveniently in or on the second buckle component, preferably a housing of the second buckle component, movable, preferably slidably mounted. Particularly preferred embodiments provide that the counter latch between its locking position and its unlocked position is displaced back and forth, while the bolt is conveniently pivoted back and forth between its locking position and its unlocked position. Of course, but also the latch 10 according to back and forth and / or the counter latch according to be pivoted back and forth. The latch can z. ß. a pivotally mounted about a pivot axis, be inherently rigid component. Alternatively and / or in addition, however, it is also conceivable that the bolt is an elastically bendable component in itself, so z. B. is in the form of a spring tongue or 15 has at least one such.

In preferred embodiments of the invention, it is provided that the one or more counter latch is movable by means of trigger trigger as well as by hand on the buckle from its or its locking position in his or her unlocked position or are. So that when actuating the counter-bolt by hand directly on the buckle not the trigger trigger, the transmission line and all other interposed components of the buckle assembly must be operated with, particularly preferred embodiments provide in this context, that or the counter-locking by Actuate supply of Hand on the buckle and also by means of a transmission part, which is actuated by the trigger trigger, from his b2w. its locking position in its or its unlocked position is movable or are, wherein the transmission part has an exemption for the operation of the counter-bar by hand. The release ensures that a single buckle can be operated manually without having to move the mentioned components required for remote release. IIÜ .MJ I | 1 1: O .3 ΙΛΛ i a i. c: nci ci

In the connecting position of the buckle components, both the bolt and the counter bolt should be conveniently brought into the respective unlocking position by manual operation from outside of their locking device. Preferred embodiments of the invention provide for this that a housing 5 of the buckle, preferably the second buckle component , At least one, preferably common, externally accessible engagement opening and the Riege: and / or the counter latch, preferably each, at least one actuating surface has or have, wherein the actuating surface or the actuating surfaces in the connecting position of the buckle components and in the locking position of 10 bolt and / or the counter-bolt from the outside through the engagement opening by hand is actuated. It is basically conceivable that a separate engagement opening is provided for bolt and counter latch or for each bolt and each counter latch. However, preferred embodiments provide common engagement openings, through which at least one row! and conveniently at least one counter-latch simultaneously accessible from the outside by hand or actuated

Embodiments of the invention are possible in which the first buckle component has at least two, preferably at least four, bolts which are pivotably mounted in at least two different, preferably normal, 20 pivot planes.

In principle, it should be noted that the buckles of the buckle assembly according to the invention may each have at least two, but also more than two buckle components, which by means of bolt and counter latch locked together and can be separated from each other. The buckles are conveniently so-called buckles, which serve to connect different, attached to the various buckle straps together by connecting the buckle components together. The buckle components can in each case stand de &quot; Technique known per se receiving openings 30 for attaching the straps. It may be to receiving openings, which allow adjustment of the belt. But it may also be Aufnahmeöffriungen act, where the belt is fixed in one position.

As transmission line, as already known from WO 2009/143464 A2, various types of transmission lines known per se in the prior art come into question. In the course of the invention, it is particularly preferred to use one or more Bowden cables as transmission elements. But there are also appropriate pipe or hose lines as transmission lines conceivable when the trigger trigger the counter latch pneumatic or hydraulic operate 10 should. As transmission lines and electrical cables can be used when the operation of the counter-bolt to take place via a corresponding electromechanical or electro-electric drive. In the case of electrical cables as Übertragungsle'tungen and magnets or electromagnetic components such. Coil assemblies are used to move the counter-bolt. In the case of pneumatic or hydraulic transmission lines, a corresponding piston-cylinder arrangement is favorably provided for actuating the counter-bolt.

In principle, it is conceivable that the Schnalienanordnung serves to operate a single buckle by means of the trigger trigger from a remote location.

However, buckle arrangements according to the invention can also have a plurality of buckles. In these, it is conveniently provided that it has a plurality of buckles 25, which connected via at least one, preferably one, Übertragungslei-device, preferably in the form of a Bowden cable, with the trigger trigger or connected to the trigger trigger, preferably via a transmission line, coupling device are. The coupling device advantageously serves as an ad multiplication station, which transmits the triggering pulse of the trigger trigger to all connected by means of transmission lines to them buckles. 30 I I ;;) U U J.

If the buckle arrangement has a plurality of buckles and these should be actuatable simultaneously by a single release trigger, this can very quickly lead to considerable forces having to be expended on the release trigger in order to open all the buckles. To avoid this, preferred embodiments of the invention provide that a reduction gear is arranged and / or acts between the buckle or buckles and the release trigger, preferably in the coupling device. The reduction gear ensures that even with several simultaneously operated buckles of the buckle Anorcnuno the forces to be exerted on the trigger trigger by the operator by hand within 10 limits.

Such reduction gear can basically be designed in various ways and ways. A preferred variant provides that the reduction gear has a with respect to a rotational axis, preferably concentrically, 15 spaced and rotating about the rotation axis rotatable guide track for a connected to the trigger trigger pull rope. In this way, a relatively small force can be converted into a large torque, which makes it easier to operate with little effort a plurality of buckles simultaneously 20 Preferred embodiments of the invention provide that a locking device, preferably ratchet-like acts on the reduction gear, wherein the locking device locked in its locking position, the reduction gear in a return direction and releases in its release position the reduction gear in the return direction for returning the or the counter latch in his or her 25 locking position. By ratchet-like in this context is meant a mechanism known per se as in ratchets, e.g. by means of corresponding interlocking spring-loaded gears, a movement in one direction allows and locks in the opposite direction, until a corresponding Arretieremrichtung is brought into its release position, so that a 30 provision is possible. If such a locking device is used in buckle arrangements according to the invention with a corresponding reduction gear, it can be provided that after actuation of the trigger trigger the or the (»5 2 0] 1 1]; 55 Ι-Λλ - 4 Λ 1ιι> 2 2 iJJaH ι -ai.eru.e iieiei UliJ OWU,) 10

Be integrated reduction gear. It is exactly like that

Counter latch can only be moved back from their Entriegelungssteliung back to its locking position when the locking device is brought into its release position and thus the reduction gear is released. For recovery, elastic return elements such as e.g. Feathers in the coupling and / or the well possible that to reset the counter-warp! exclusively elastic return-steüelemente are vorgesenen, which are integrated in the buckle or in the other buckle component, these elastic return elements in the buckles can then act directly or indirectly on the counter-latch. 10

In buckle assemblies according to the invention are initially brought by pressing the trigger trigger only once the counter latch of their locking position in their Entriegelungssteliung, but this does not mean that the corresponding latch the buckle or buckles are brought from its locking position-15 ment in the unlocked position , This can be used as a safety measure, if the forces required to operate the latch are so high that each latch must be brought individually by hand from its locking position in the unlocking Steliung. But there are also variants according to the invention, in which after unlocking the counter latch by means of trigger setrigger nient to each buckle each latch must be brought by hand from its locking position to its unlocked position. These variants provide that the bolt and / or the locking surface has or have at least one inclined surface, wherein the inclined surface to support the movement Ge Ges bolt before. his locking position in his unlocking-25 development position at a removal of the first buckle component from the other

Schnailenbauteil is formed. In these variants, it is then possible that no longer each bar individually must be opened by hand. Rather, it is then sufficient to pull on the first buckle component itself, The inclined surfaces then ensure that ao exceeding a certain Kraftschwellwertes the bolts are brought from the 30 inclined surfaces in their unlocked positions, so that the first Schnailenbauteile can be deducted from the other buckle components.

In the first embodiment as well as in all other embodiments shown here, 16 Bowden cables are used as transmission lines. This is a very reliable and reliable form of Ubertragungsleitung 16, but, as already explained, not the only way Schna'.lenanordnungen 5 implement according to the invention Under a Bowden cable is, as is well known, a movable

Maschinene'errent for transmitting a tensile force by means of a flexibly installable Komb'nation of a pull rope 21, usually made of wire, and meant in the direction of a stable sheath. In the first as well as in all embodiments described below, a single SchnalSentyp is used. Of course, buckles 1 used for buckle arrangements according to the invention may, however, also be designed differently, in the example shown each buckle 1 has a first buckle component 2 and a further buckle component 3. These are ir ir the Figs. 1 to 3, as 15 also in most other Fig. In the connection division in which they verbuncen each other and are locked by bolt 4 and counter latch 6 to each other. Both the latches 4 of the first buckle components 2 and the counter latches 6 of the further buckle components 3 are located in FIGS. 1 to 3 in the respective position of disposition. Ir this engages behind each bar 4 of a first buckle member 2 a corresponding locking surface 20 S of the respective further buckle member 3rd

In the illustrated embodiment, each latch 4 is locked in its locking position by means of a support surface 7 of a counter latch 6. This is clearly illustrated in the section according to FIG. 18 and will be explained in detail below. In the exemplary embodiments shown, the further buckle components 3 each have a housing 10, into which the respective first buckle component 2 can be inserted and locked there. By pressing the buckle by hand, latch 4 and Gegenriege! To make 6 accessible, the housing 10 each e; ne engagement opening 12, in which the actuating surfaces 13 of the latch 4 and 30, the actuating surfaces 14 of the counter latch 6 are accessible and operable from the outside. In order to bring the counter latch 6 by hand on the respective buckle 1 from its locking position to its unlocked position, e.g. with one each

Finger aut the respective actuating surface 14 are pressed. Located by appropriate pressing on the actuating surface 14 of the respective counter latch 6 in its Entnegelungssteliung, it can be brought by its locking-5 position in the unlocked position by pressing the corresponding actuating surface 13 of the associated latch 4. If all latches 4 and counter latches 6 of a respective buckle 1 are in their unlocked position, then the first buckle component 2 can be separated from the further buckle component 3. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the first, here male, buckle component 2 is pulled out of the housing 10 of the further, here female, buckle component 3. In this manual operation, the buckles 1 can be geödnet one by one or in succession.

In order at the same time to bring ade counter-latch 6 from its locking division into its unlocking position, it is sufficient to pull centrally on the trigger trigger 15. 15

To understand the mechanism thereby triggered, reference is made in particular to FIGS. 2 and 3. In Fig. 2 is a plan view in which the cover 30 of the coupling device housing 36 of the coupling device 17 is removed. In F'g. FIG. 3 shows an exploded view in which the construction of the cop-up device 17 is particularly easy to see. In the first embodiment, the Ausiösetriggergehäuse 25 and the coupling device 17, as I said, separate components that communicate with each other via a Bowden cable 16. By pulling the release trigger 15, the pull cable 21 of the trigger trigger housing 25 with the coupling device 17 connecting Bowden cable 16 is a 25 pieces far, pulled out of the Aus! Ösetriggergehäuse 25. At the opposite end of this pull rope is connected in a Zugseilfixierung 43 with a hub 33 of the reduction gear 18 and fixed thereto .. The hub 33 has a, preferably concentric, spaced from the axis of rotation 19 extending and here together with the hub 33 rotatable about the axis of rotation 19 Füh-30 rungsbahn 20 on. The traction cable 21, which is connected to the trigger trigger 15, is guided on this rotatable guide track 20 and fixed in the Zugseilfixierung 43. By pulling the release trigger 15, the rotary disk 33 is thereby rotated about its front and rear end. 1 ί II: ύϋ Ι ΛΛ • 4Λ υα2ü ra learns wi uu i? I / imio ί

Rotational axis 19 is rotated in the coupling device housing 36 By a concentric configuration of the guide track 20 with respect to the axis of rotation 19, a constant torque is achieved when pulling the trigger trigger 15. By rotating the guide track 20 and the integrally formed in this embodiment, the rotary disc 5 33 turntable gear 34 is rotated about the axis of rotation 19. This turntable gear 34 engages in a rack 32 of a balance rocker carrier 3 i, the balance rocker bracket 31 is shown in Fig. 4 again separately presented una in the coupling housing 36 slidably mounted on the guide body 28 By pulling on Ausiösetrigger 15 is so on here the subset-10th Translation gear 18 forming hub 33 in Zusammenspie! moved with the said Ausgleichswipoenträger 31 latter along the guide body 28. In this movement, the Ausgichswippenträger 31 takes over the compensating rockers 26 by means of the corresponding Zugseilfixierungen 43 to the compensating rockers 26 fixed tension cables 21 leading to the individual buckles 1 Bow-15 denzüge 16 with. The compensating rockers 26 are each rotatable about their balance rocker pivot points 27 and equal by a twist of the respective Bowden cable 16 possible deviations in the train path between the individual Bowden cables 16, the Bowden cables 16 transmit the pulling movement on the respective buckles 1. In each buckle are the tension cables 21 on The Übertragungstei e 23 are moved by train on the pull rope 21 each in the manner in the buckle 1 that they move the respective counter latch 6 from its locking position to its unlocked position. How this is done in detail, will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 17 to 24. In the embodiment shown, a ratchet mechanism is integrated in the reduction gear 18, which, as long as the locking device 22 is in its Arret production, the reduction gear 18 is locked in its return direction. In the illustrated embodiment, it is at the locking device 22 to one, the locking device rotation axis 37, which is fixed to the Koppeleinrich-30 processing housing 36, pivotable lever. The spring 29 presses this lever of the locking device 22 in its locking position. The toothing 11 formed on the locking device 22 engages in the toothing 35 of the rotary disk 33 1/05 2011 11:57 1 · 'Λ. \ - 43 5522 73359 patents Iletol ¢ 1 00 20/00 • • • * »9 15. The meshing engagement between the teeth 1Ί and 35 is designed so that when pulling the trigger trigger 15, the hub 33 and thus the Führungsbahr. 20 can be rotated in this direction but is locked in the opposite direction. This has the consequence that the counter latch 6 of the buckles 1 remain so long in their 'bntriegelungsstellung after full-5 permanent pulling out of the trigger trigger 15 from the trigger trigger housing 25 until the locking means 22 is brought by pressing the actuating surface 44 in its release position, in the toothings 11 and 35 are no longer in engagement with one another and the 10 return elements 9 acting on the counter-arm 6 in this exemplary embodiment can return to the starting position in which the counter-latches 6 are in their locking position ,

Figs. 5 and 6 show an alternative embodiment of a trigger trigger 15 15 for the first embodiment. Here, the trigger trigger housing 25 is reduced to the abutment 38. In Fig. 5, the abutment 38 is shown completely. In Fig. 6, the cover plate of the abutment 38 is omitted, so that one. on the attachment of the shell of the Bowden cable 16 sees. The alternative shown in Fig. 5 and 6 of a trigger trigger 15 changes the described operation of the first Ausfüh-20 tion game nothing.

FIGS. 7 and 8 show a second exemplary embodiment according to the invention, which broadly corresponds to the first exemplary embodiment, so that only the differences are discussed here. Fig. 7 shows an outside view, in Fig. 8, the lid 30 of the coupling device housing 36 is removed. The essential difference from the first exemplary embodiment is that a Bowden cable 16 between the tripping trigger 15 and the coupling device 17 and, correspondingly, a tripping trigger housing 25 or an abutment 38 have been dispensed with. In this second embodiment, the trigger trigger 15 is arranged directly on the 30 Koppeleinnchtung 17. In its operation and the entire operation of the reduction gear 18, this does not change anything.

In this way, even with only a single buckle 1, the counter latch 16 can be remotely operated by pulling on the trigger trigger 15. Since you have to put the train on the trigger trigger 15 in this embodiment, only against the 10 return elements 9 of the counter latch 6 a single buckle 1, was here waived a coupling device 17 and a corresponding reduction gear 18.

17 to 24 now show different representations of the buckles 1, 15 as they come in the previously described embodiments are used.

Shown are only a single buckle 1 and their components. Fig. 17 shows a side view and the sectional plane AA. Fig. 18 shows the section along the sectional plane AA. Fig. 19 shows a plan view of the buckle 1 and the cutting plane SB. The section along the sectional plane BB is shown in FIG. In Fig. 20 21, the buckle 1 is shown in an exploded view. Fig. 22 shows the transmission part 23. Fig. 23 shows a pair of counter bars 6. Fig. 24 shows the first buckle component 2) in a separate illustration.

In FIGS. 17 to 20, both the latches 4 of the first buckle component 25 2 and the counter latches 6 of the further buckle component 3 are each in their locking position. The latch 4 engage behind in this locking position depending on a locking surface 5 of the other buckle component 3. The counter latch 6 lock in aieser position by means of their support surfaces 7, the latch 4 in its locked position. In order to bring the latch 4 in its unlocked position, the counter latch 6 must be brought into its unlocked position in 30 this embodiment, so that the support surfaces 7 release the latch 4. This can, as already described, be done by hand by, for example, with one finger each, into which; n / (); i ^ u 1 i ji:;> s t'λα • 4 3 OoZa / 33a »latent HeTci 1 £ | (YT 3/0 (1 3 t • * · • * * · * φ 18

Engaging openings 12 into it and presses on the actuating surfaces 13 and 14 of latch 4 and counter latch 6. By this manual operation, the counter latch ό are pushed back against the bias of their formed here as coil springs restoring elements 9 in the further buckle member 3, so that the 5 support surfaces 7 release the latch 4. The latch 4 can then be pivoted by appropriate pressure on their actuating surfaces 13 inwards. In this case, the latch 4 must be pressed against the spring elements 8 which are designed as return elements. If both latch 4 and counter latch 6 are in the unlocked position, then the first buckle component 2 can be pulled out of the housing 10 10 of the further buckle component 3.

To cie counter latch 6 now not only by hand by means of their actuation surfaces 14 but also from a distance on the trigger trigger 15 and the transmission line bringen of their locking in their unlocking position to bring, 15 a longitudinally displaceably mounted transmission part 23 is provided in the buckle 1 , This has a Zugseilfixierung 43, in which a pull cable 21 of a corresponding Übertragungsieitung or a corresponding Bowden cable 16 can be mounted. A control pin 40 of the Ubertragungsteils 23 engages in a free space 41 of the counter latch 6 a. This space 41 is limited by the stops 42 20. By train on not shown here but attached to the transmission part 23 pull rope 21, the transmission part 23 is moved in the housing 10 of the further buckle member 3. As soon as its control pin 40 comes into contact with the corresponding stops 42 of the counter latch 6, the counter latch 6 are taken along and pulled into the unlock position by compression of the return elements 9, so that the counter latch freige releases the latch 4 in this way by means of remote release. The geometry of the free space 41 and the stops 42 is dimensioned such that upon actuation of the counter latch 6 by hand, an exemption of the transmission part 23 and its control pin 40 is given, so that the transfer point 23 is not taken by hand upon actuation of the counter latch 6, but only in a remote trip via the transmission line 16 in action. 30 Π / 05 Dll 11:50 1 '5 4 5 55 2 2 7 33 GH Patent.e Held 141 0 0 2 4/0 0 3 7 • * ft ft · · * * * • * ft | «4» · * * · * * • ft ft ft ft * ft * ft * * * * ft * ··· * 4 4 · ·· 19

In Fig, 24 is particularly well seen that in the illustrated embodiment, the latch 4 are equipped with inclined surfaces 24, with which they rest against the locking surfaces 5. Due to the existence of the inclined surfaces 24, it is, if the counter latch 6 are by remote control in its unlocked position, mög-5 lent, by a correspondingly firm train on the first buckle! 2 to bring the latch 4 in its unlocked position without having to press the actuating surfaces 1 3. This serves to e.g. in an emergency, after the counter! 6 has brought by means of remote release into its unlocked position, the latch 4 of the various buckles 1 of the system does not have to solve individually, but 10 by appropriately strong pulling on the first buckle components 2 or straps associated with the latch 4 can bring in their unlocked, so the To be able to separate buckle components 2 and 3 from one another. The forces required for this depend on the angle of the inclined surfaces 24 and the elastic properties of the return elements 8 of the bolt 4 and can also be adjusted accordingly 15. For the sake of completeness it should be pointed out that in the exemplary embodiment shown, both the locking surfaces 5 and the latches 4 have corresponding oblique surfaces to support the movement of the respective latch 4 from its locking position to its unlocked position when the first buckle component 2 is removed from the further buckle component 3. However, corresponding oblique surfaces 24 may also be provided only on the latch 4 or only on the verhegeiungsfläche 5. For the sake of completeness, it is also pointed out that the return elements 8 and 9 of the latch 4 and spring nails 6 can also be designed differently. Thus, in both cases, there may be resilient areas of the respective latches or counter latches or additional spring elements such as e.g. act the reset elements 9 realized here. In addition, it should be noted, however, that both counter-latch 6 and 4 latch can perform both a pivot and a linear movement on their way from their VerRestungssteHung in its unlocked position and back. 30 on the buckle components 2 and 3 visible Gurtbefestigungsschlitze are provided in the Fig., With which the buckle components can be attached to straps or the like.
