Patent ID: 7293332

Claim:
A device for fastening an end of a strap to an object, comprising a casing having means of connection to said strap and two coaxial pins for connecting said strap to said object, at least one of which is mounted slidingly between two positions, one retracted, the other protruding from a wall of the casing to engage in an opening of said object, coaxial with a second opening to receive the other of said pins, elastic return means to tend to keep said sliding pin constantly in the retracted position and an actuation member, associated with a cam, to move said sliding pin into said other position, wherein, in the retracted position of said sliding pin, inner ends of said pins are abutting, respective surfaces of said pins being shaped to make a space on their periphery capable of receiving an end of a first portion of said cam, said actuation member being a manual member connected to said casing by guidance means defining a trajectory of movement of said actuation member, substantially perpendicular to an axis of said pins, this actuation member being capable of being moved between two stable limit positions along this trajectory, a first position of release and a second position of engagement of said sliding pin, said first portion of said cam being shaped to transform the force exerted to bring said actuation member into said second position into a force exerted on said sliding pin to move said sliding pin into said protruding position.
