Definitions

  • buckles with fixed transverse webs are known. Such buckles are also referred to as Dreistegschnallen or ladder buckles (especially if more than three transverse webs are present).
  • a central transverse web which is referred to below as a central web
  • a central web displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the bands to be connected to a buckle body.
  • the retention force against extension of the adjustable length band is thereby increased.
  • metal center web is on both sides on support webs of the also existing metal buckle body.
  • At the support webs close lateral guide webs, which are bent to the side of the buckle body, on which the central web rests on the support webs, so that they point obliquely upwards.
  • window recesses are formed, in which slightly angled end portions of the central web protrude. The bends of the central web are directed opposite to the bends of the guide webs.
  • the central web is displaceably held in the window recesses in the longitudinal direction of the tapes to be connected but held against being pulled out of the window recesses in the guide webs.
  • the tolerances in the formation of the buckle must be relatively low. The bent End portions of the central web lead to an additional manufacturing effort.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a buckle of the type mentioned, in which a reliable storage of the central web is achieved and which can be produced efficiently. According to the invention, this is achieved by a buckle with the features of claim 1.
  • a bent storage web starts from the support webs for the middle web.
  • This has a lying in front of the adjacent end face of the central web section, which serves as a stop for the central web against displacement of the central web in its axial direction, and further comprises a portion which extends in the direction of the support web from which the storage web proceeds, and a recess has, in which projects the respective end of the central web.
  • This recess extends in the longitudinal direction of the bands to be joined and their ends serve as stops for the central web in order to limit the displaceability of the central web in the longitudinal direction of the bands to be connected.
  • the recesses receiving the ends of the central web extend from the edge of the storage web extending in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the strips to be joined.
  • This edge is directed to the support web from which the support web goes out and abuts the support web or has a distance from the support web, which is smaller than the perpendicular to the surface of the support web on which rests the central web, measured thickness of the central web, so that the central web not through the gap between the edge of the support web and the support web is feasible.
  • the buckle body of a buckle according to the invention can be formed by a curved plate provided with corresponding recesses.
  • the central web is preferably formed in the form of a flat plate.
  • the buckle has at least one elastic biasing element biasing the center web in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction.

This can thus be used on the one hand to prevent the tape from being accidentally removed from the buckle body in the unstressed state.
  • the elastic Preload element which are generally increased by clamping the band between the central web and the crosspiece holding forces, ie also in the state in which the band is pulled.
  • biasing element is for example a coil spring into consideration.
  • the resilient biasing element is conveniently located within one of the folded support webs.
  • Particularly preferred embodiments of the invention provide that in each case at least one elastic biasing element is disposed within each of the bent support webs.
  • the buckle may, as shown below, have a single buckle body to which both straps are attached.
  • a two- or multi-part design of the buckle is conceivable. So z. Example, be provided that the buckle has an additional buckle body, which is detachably connectable to the buckle body with the bent support webs by means of a connecting device, preferably without tools.
  • a connecting device preferably without tools.
  • the connection means by hand so without the use of tools can be operated to solve the interconnected buckle body from each other and / or to connect again.
  • two- or multi-part buckles is then conveniently provided that one of the bands to be joined together is attached directly to the buckle body and the other of the bands to be connected is attached directly to the additional buckle body.
  • this band of the additional buckle body on the buckle body then takes place via the connection of the buckle body with the additional buckle body by means of the connecting device.
  • the connecting device has a locking device for releasably locking together the additional buckle body with the buckle body.
  • the above-mentioned elastic biasing member biases the center bar preferably in a direction away from the additional buckle body direction.
