Abstract:
1. A quick-release buckle, comprising: a first component including a first arcuate portion, and including a raised portion having a second arcuate portion, the raised portion is hingeably connected to the first component; and a second component including a first circular portion and a second circular portion wherein a radius of the first circular portion is greater than a radius of the second circular portion; wherein the first circular portion mates with the first arcuate portion to provide a releasable lock between the first and second components, with the second arcuate portion rotatably engaged with the second circular portion; wherein the first and second arcuate portions are substantially circular; further comprising a first center point on the first component and a second center point on the second component, wherein the first center point and the second center point overlap, defining a common axis of rotation between the first and second components; wherein the second component is planarly offset from the first component, allowing unimpeded and continuous rotation about the common axis of rotation; and wherein the second component further comprises a mounting structure for a strap, the mounting structure being offset axially and planarly from a mating location between the first arcuate portion and the first circular portion, such that the mounting structure is rotatable throughout a full rotation without interference from the first component.
