Abstract

A connector is disclosed for fastening and dismantling a load to or from, respectively, a belt that can be worn by a carrier that comprises a buckle male configured for swift fastening the load to the belt and a buckle configured for swift dismantling the load from the belt using one hand of the carrier.

Claims (16)

1. A connector for swift fastening and dismantling a load to or from, respectively, a belt worn by a carrier, the connector comprising:

a buckle male having a bolt with a circumferential groove;

a buckle provided with two half circle latches linked together by a spindle and encircling a corresponding receptacle, wherein the buckle is configured to receive the buckle male therebetween while the two half circle latches are positioned within the groove;

two latch levers, each provided on one of the two half circle latches;

a single release cord provided to the buckle and connected to the two latch levers so that when the two latch levers are pressed towards each other by the single cord, the two half circle latches spread away from the groove,

wherein the buckle male and the buckle are connected when the buckle male is pushed against and to within the receptacle between the two half circle latches for swiftly fastening the load to the belt, and are disconnected by pulling the single release cord using one hand of the carrier for swiftly dismantling the load off the belt.

2. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the load is selected from the group consisting of a backpack; a rucksack; a cart; and a sled.

3. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the buckle male is assembled to a load and the buckle is assembled to the belt.

4. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the belt is selected from the group consisting of a lumbar-belt; a tac-vest; a back-belt; a weightlifting-belt; and a firefighters-belt.

5. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the buckle is assembled to the load and the buckle male is assembled to the belt.

6. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the two half circle latches are configured to completely enter the groove and grasp the buckle male so as to establish a firm connection.

7. The connector of claim 6 , wherein the single release cord is connected to the two half circle latches to enable swift dismantling of the load by pulling the single release cord that consequently causes the latches to completely egress the groove, thus releasing the firm connection.

8. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the buckle male is configured to freely rotate inside the buckle, and wherein the rotation allows the load to sway about the belt.

9. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the buckle male further comprises a circular barrier.

10. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the buckle male is provided with a bolt and the buckle is provided with a corresponding receptacle and wherein connection between the buckle and the buckle male is established by driving the bolt into the receptacle.

11. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the bolt and the receptacle are rounded.
