Abstract

A male buckling component for a magnetic buckling assembly. The male buckling component comprises a male locking portion having a column structure. The male locking portion comprises an abutting structure at an end of the column structure, and a male engaging structure adjacent to the abutting structure and formed around a circumference of the column structure. An installation chamber is formed inside the male locking portion, and a male magnetic component is installed into the installation chamber so that the male magnetic component is inside the male locking portion of the male buckling component.

3. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 1 , wherein the male engaging structure of the male locking portion includes a hook slot.

4. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 1 , further comprising a supporting cover disposed inside the installation chamber to cover the male magnetic component.

5. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 1 , further comprising a base, wherein the column structure of the male locking portion is coupled to and protrudes from the base.

6. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 5 , further comprising at least one strap coupled to the base.

7. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 6 , in combination with a cloth surface to which the male buckling component is fixed via the at least one strap coupled to the base.

8. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 1 , further comprising at least one assembling portion for installing at least one strap.

9. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 8 , wherein the at least one assembling portion includes at least one through hole for the at least one strap.

10. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 8 , wherein:

the at least one assembling portion includes two assembling portions opposite to each other; and

each assembling portion of the two assembling portions includes a through hole.

11. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 1 , wherein the abutting structure of the male locking portion includes an inclined structure inclined relative to the connecting direction.

12. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 11 , wherein the inclined structure of the abutting structure is formed around the circumference of the column structure of the male locking portion.

13. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 12 .

14. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 11 , wherein:

the female locking portion is a resilient structure; and

the abutting structure of the male locking portion is configured to push and deform the resilient structure of the female locking portion when the male locking portion engages the female locking portion along the connecting direction so that the female locking portion slides to engage with the engaging structure of the male locking portion.

15. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 14 , wherein:

the resilient structure of the female locking portion includes at least one resilient arm coupled to a corresponding at least one engaging head, the at least one resilient arm biasing the corresponding at least one engaging head to engage with the engaging structure of the male locking portion;

the corresponding at least one engaging head includes an engaging head inclined structure; and

the inclined structure of the abutting structure of the male locking portion cooperates with the engaging head inclined structure so that the abutting structure slides across the corresponding at least one engaging head to engage the engaging structure with the corresponding at least one engaging head.

16. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 14 .

17. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 15 , wherein:

the corresponding at least one engaging head includes a hook; and

the engaging structure of the male locking portion includes a hook slot to engage with the hook of the corresponding at least one engaging head.

18. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 15 .

19. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 17 , in combination with the female buckling component to form the magnetic buckling assembly.

20. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 17 .

21. The combination of claim 19 , wherein the at least one resilient arm and the corresponding at least one engaging head of the female locking portion includes one of:

one resilient arm and one corresponding engaging head;

two resilient arms and two corresponding engaging heads;

three resilient arms and three corresponding engaging heads;

four resilient arms and four corresponding engaging heads; or

five resilient arms and five corresponding engaging heads.

22. The combination of claim 19 , wherein the male buckling component is rotatable relative to the female buckling component around the male locking portion of the male buckling component.

23. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 11 .

24. The male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 1 , in combination with the female buckling component to form the magnetic buckling assembly, wherein the male buckling component is rotatable relative to the female buckling component around the male locking portion of the male buckling component.

25. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 1 .

26. A baby carrier, comprising two or more straps configured to be connected and disconnected by the male buckling component and the female buckling component of claim 19 .
