Robust buckles for maximum safety
Buckles offer a reliable way to securely fasten shoes, helmets or other items of clothing to the body. In many scenarios, this is urgently needed because otherwise the health of the person wearing the garment would be at risk. High-performance buckles are particularly indispensable in occupational safety and sports. But they must also be extremely resilient in other areas.
Gudo offers high-quality buckles and other types of fasteners. When developing our products, we pay particular attention to safety and ease of use. In this article, we will tell you what you can use buckles for and what types are available. You will also find out why Gudo buckles are a good choice and how you can order them.
What is the purpose of buckles?
Buckles are used to connect, fix or tighten straps, belts or straps. An ideal example is the use of a buckle on a shoe. Thanks to the buckle, the shoe laces are tightened as the wearer wishes.
An easy-to-use buckle is also more practical to use than conventional shoe laces. It also holds much tighter and is therefore more secure than a Velcro fastener.
What types of buckles are there?
Buckles are available in different designs. These types are used particularly frequently:
- Clip
- Ratchet fastener
- Click fastener
Below you will find information on these species.
Clip
Clips are among the most prominent representatives of closures. They consist of a base plate and a spring-loaded toothed piece. A strap, band or rope is fixed between them. To do this, the clip is pressed down. Depending on the model, the tension is released by lifting the clip or pressing it down even further.
Ease of use is one of the advantages of a clip. At Gudo, you can obtain various designs that are suitable for different purposes. For example, we offer clips with straight and rounded base plates. The width of the clips also varies. We have models that can accommodate straps 15, 18 or 22 millimetres wide.
Clips are preferably used for shoes and helmets. Thanks to their sturdy workmanship, they ensure a secure hold.
Ratchet fastener
A Ratchet fastener is used in combination with a Timing belt is used. This is picked up by the fastener, the most important element of which is a lever. The connection is tightened or loosened by moving the lever.
Ratchet fasteners are used in occupational safety, among other things. They hold safety shoes on the feet of their wearers, for example. Safe use is essential to ensure the health of factory and construction workers, for example. The shoes must fit the foot perfectly at all times in order to protect the wearer.
Click fastener
This type of buckle is known from car seat belts, among other things. It is also used to fasten rucksacks and other bags as well as dog collars. It is also a practical alternative to the pin buckle for belts.
A click fastener consists of two separate parts that are attached to the ends of two straps or bands. The buckle is closed by inserting the two ends into each other. To open it, the user must press on one part of the buckle.
What are the advantages of Gudo buckles?
By purchasing buckles from Gudo, you ensure that you receive the best quality products. We use high-quality materials in the manufacturing process to ensure that our products meet the highest quality standards.
Before we start series production of a closure, the model undergoes an intensive testing process. This also ensures safe use. We are also constantly improving our products and developing them further in order to be able to serve every specific area of application.
Gudo: Specialized in closures
If you need closures for the manufacture of products, we at Gudo are the first port of call. We have a wealth of expertise and experience in the field of fasteners. We manufacture various types of buckles and other types of fasteners in our factory in Lupfig.
In addition to the models already presented, these also include Rotary closures. They are also high-performance fasteners that are used in sports and other areas. Occupational safety and health can be used.
A twist lock is equipped with a knob that is used to secure it. Turning the knob to the left tightens the straps to which the fastener is connected. Turning it to the right releases the tension slightly. The simple operation makes it possible to close and open the twist lock with one hand.
Some Gudo models offer a further advantage in the form of the quick-release function. For example, if you press the Swock M Power on the center of the button, the fastener opens quickly and immediately. This means that it is not necessary to turn the button to open it. This is particularly practical when a shoe or helmet fitted with the fastener needs to be removed quickly.
