Buckle

Abstract

A buckle includes a base, an individual jaw, a handle and an elastic element. The individual jaw is connected to the base. The handle includes a jaw formed thereon. The handle can be pivoted on the base between a first position where the jaw thereof is close to the individual jaw and a second position where the jaw thereof is distant from the individual jaw. The elastic element is used for keeping the handle in the first position.

1 . A buckle comprising:
 a base;   an individual jaw connected to the base;   a handle comprising a jaw formed thereon, wherein the handle can be pivoted on the base between a first position where the jaw thereof is close to the individual jaw and a second position where the jaw thereof is distant from the individual jaw; and   an elastic element for keeping the handle in the first position.   
   
   
       2 . The buckle according to  claim 1  wherein the base comprises a floor and two walls formed on the floor, and the individual jaw and the handle are located on the walls. 
   
   
       3 . The buckle according to  claim 2  wherein the elastic element is located between the floor of the base and the handle. 
   
   
       4 . The buckle according to  claim 1  wherein the handle comprises a touch portion formed thereon for facilitating the pivoting thereof. 
   
   
       5 . The buckle according to  claim 2  wherein the handle comprises two ears pivotally connected to the walls of the base. 
   
   
       6 . The buckle according to  claim 5  comprising a pin for pivotally connecting the ears of the handle to the walls of the base. 
   
   
       7 . The buckle according to  claim 6  wherein each of the ears of the handle defines an aperture for receiving the pin. 
   
   
       8 . The buckle according to  claim 6  wherein each of the walls of the base defines an aperture for receiving the pin. 
   
   
       9 . The buckle according to  claim 6  wherein the elastic element comprises a body, a first leg extending from the body and a second leg extending from the body so that the body is located on the pin while the first leg is located against the handle while the second leg is located against the floor of the base. 
   
   
       10 . The buckle according to  claim 9  wherein the body of the elastic element is made of a helical form. 
   
   
       11 . The buckle according to  claim 9  wherein the first leg of the elastic element is made of a rectilinear form. 
   
   
       12 . The buckle according to  claim 9  wherein the second leg of the elastic element is made of a hooked form The buckle according to  claim 1  wherein the elastic element is a torque spring. 
   
   
       13 . The buckle according to  claim 1  wherein the jaw of the handle is formed with teeth. 
   
   
       14 . The buckle according to  claim 14  wherein each of the teeth comprises a sharp tip. 
   
   
       15 . The buckle according to  claim 14  wherein each of the teeth comprises a flat tip. 
   
   
       16 . The buckle according to  claim 1  wherein the individual jaw is formed with teeth. 
   
   
       17 . The buckle according to  claim 17  wherein the individual jaw is rotationally connected to the base. 
   
   
       18 . The buckle according to  claim 18  comprising a pin for rotationally connecting the individual jaw to the base.
