A securement foot is lockable to a support of any kind. It comprises a base formed with a longitudinal stop, two lateral stops and a transverse stop, with another transverse stop being provided on an element hinged to the base, said hinged element carrying a portion of the locking means, with the other portion thereof being integral with the base. The support is for example a hook, a holding clip, and the like.

A releasable assembly is provided for connecting a pair of bags in a side by side abutting manner. The releasable assembly is comprised of a flat female member and a flat male member. The female member has a bottom side affixed to one of the bags and a top side with an open faced rectangular groove defined by spaced apart channel members. The male member has a bottom side affixed to the other bag and a top side with an outwardly projecting tongue for sliding engagement within the groove of the female member. The female member is also provided with an integral catch at one end which is engaged by a pawl member located on one end of the male member to securely retain the bags in abutting relationship. A peg at the opposite end of the female member is engaged by a notch at the opposite end of the male member to limit insertion of the male member within the female member.

A butt jointing assembly comprises two identical butt joint parts with the one being reversed with respect to the other. The butt joint assembly comprises an elastic locking and unlocking pawl and at least one retaining slot therein such that the pawl in the one part engages the slot in the other part, as two of such parts are butt jointed, the elastic pawl being moreover flexible through pressure of one's finger to unlock it. Application to the connection of rigid or supple elements with each element being provided with a butt joint part or being configured so as to have a butt joint part at one end thereof.

The invention relates to a buckling device of the type having a strap or other connecting means, a male and a female elements, means for retaining said strap and male and female catch means. Said catch means consist of a retaining volume of said female element and a protuberance of said male element. Two abutments of said male elements cooperate with two obstacle means of said female element in such a way that said male and female catch means are preserved from any traction forces applied to the buckling device. The removal of said abutments of said element from said obstacle means of said female element is produced by the crushing of an elastic means of the male element within a holding volume of the female element.
