Snap-on buckle for hand strap mounting

Abstract

Described is a snap-on buckle. The snap-on buckle comprises a buckle configured to receive an attachment device, the buckle including at least one break away point and a snap, insert molded into the buckle, that is configured to releasably attach to a surface of a mobile terminal. In an alternate embodiment, the snap-on buckle comprises a buckle configured to receive an attachment device, the buckle including at least one break away point and an attachment means, insert molded into the buckle, that is configured to releasably attach to a surface of a mobile terminal.

1 . A snap-on buckle, comprising:
 a buckle configured to receive an attachment device, the buckle including at least one break away point; and   a snap, insert molded into the buckle, that is configured to releasably attach to a surface of a mobile terminal.   
   
   
       2 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment device is a strap. 
   
   
       3 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one break away point is activated when an impermissible load is attached to the snap-on buckle. 
   
   
       4 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 3 , wherein the impermissible load is at least 60 pounds. 
   
   
       5 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 1 , wherein the buckle is manufactured using one of a rigid plastic and metal. 
   
   
       6 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 1 , wherein the snap is manufactured using one of a stamped metal and plastic. 
   
   
       7 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 1 , wherein the surface of the mobile terminal is a pin. 
   
   
       8 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 7 , wherein the snap further comprises:
 a hook portion circumnavigating the pin, thereby rotating around the pin.   
   
   
       9 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 8 , wherein the hook portion circumnavigates the pin at least one half a circumference of the pin. 
   
   
       10 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 7 , wherein the pin is fixed on the mobile terminal, thereby preventing a rotation and movement of the pin with respect to the mobile terminal. 
   
   
       11 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 1 , wherein, when the attachment device is received, the at least one break away point includes a pair of break away points located near the attachment device. 
   
   
       12 . A snap-on buckle, comprising:
 a buckle configured to receive an attachment device, the buckle including at least one break away point; and   an attachment means, insert molded into the buckle, that is configured to releasably attach to a surface of a mobile terminal.   
   
   
       13 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 12 , wherein the attachment device is a strap. 
   
   
       14 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 12 , wherein the buckle is manufactured using one of a rigid plastic and metal. 
   
   
       15 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 12 , wherein the attachment means is manufactured using one of a stamped metal and plastic. 
   
   
       16 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 12 , wherein the surface of the mobile terminal is a pin. 
   
   
       17 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 16 , wherein the attachment means further comprises:
 a hooking means circumnavigating the pin, thereby rotating around the pin.   
   
   
       18 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 17 , wherein the hooking means circumnavigates the pin at least one half a circumference of the pin. 
   
   
       19 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 16 , wherein the pin is fixed on the mobile terminal, thereby preventing a rotation and movement of the pin with respect to the mobile terminal. 
   
   
       20 . The snap-on buckle of  claim 12 , wherein, when the attachment device is received, the at least one break away point includes a pair of break away points located near the attachment device.
