Definitions

  • This invention relates to a belt buckle and more particularly to a belt buckle which is easy to operate and yet reliable in use.
  • the belt is secured to the belt buckle by virtue of two screws turned into one end thereof. Since a screw driver is indispensable for fastening or detaching the belt, replacement of the belt, when desired, will be, if not impossible, quite difficult without a screw driver at hand. Moreover even if a screw driver is immediately available, the turning of screws into and out of the screw holes can be.time-consuming.
  • the belt is clamped between a serrated clamping device and the buckle body.
  • a serrated clamping device As the end portion of the belt is deeply bitten by the toothed jaw portion, constant friction of the sharp teeth against the end portion tends to cause the bitten part to wear down and thereby to become loosely held.
  • the occurrence of unexpected release of the belt from the buckle seems unavoidable.
  • this invention intends to provide a belt buckle which a belt can be attached to or detached from without the use of any tools.
  • the invention also intends to provide a belt buckle which ensures firm securement of a belt attached thereto without causing any damage to and loosening of the belt.
  • the invention still further intends to provide a belt buckle having a holding member hinged to the buckle body to enable a belt to be easily attached or detached by only a single push at, or by exerting a little pressure on, the holding member by the finger of the user.
  • FIG. 1 to 3 there is depicted a belt buckle constructed in accordance with this invention and comprising a substantially rectangular main body 1, a holding member 2 and a staged pintle 3.
  • the main body 1 has a front side la, which may have an embossed or otherwise applied design on its relatively plane surface to enhance the decorative effect of the buckle, and a back side 1b having a gradually rising portion or slope 16 formed integrally with a substantially rectangular hinge housing 12 of a length shorter than the width of the main body. Protruding downwardly from the longitudinally opposed ends of the back side 1b are, respectively, a belt fixing pin 11 with a bulbous head and a pair of belt engaging pins 13 spaced transversely of the main body, as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the hinge housing 12 contains a partially narrowed tubular passage 14 extending over its full length for receiving the pintle 3.
  • the passage 14 has an inlet 14a and an outlet 14b located in opposite side walls 12a and 12b of the hinge housing 12, the narrowed section of the passage 14 being directed toward the outlet 14b. Protruding outwardly from the side wall 12b of the hinge housing is a lock pin 15 adjacent the outlet 14b of the passage 14.
  • the holding member 2 comprises a pair of longitudinally extending lugs 21 and 22 spaced from each other, a lid-like plate 23 and a loop 24.
  • the lug 21 is formed with a screw hole 21a disposed in alignment with the inlet 14a and outlet 14b of the passage 14 and a hole 22a in the lug 22.
  • Adjacent the hole 22a is a pin hole 22b which is adapted to be engaged by the lock pin 15 on the hinge housing 12.
  • FIG 4 there is illustrated a belt buckle sectioned along line 1 - 1 of Figure 1.
  • the holding member 2 is hinged to the main body 1 of the buckle by the pintle 3 received within the hinge housing 12.
  • the pintle 3 is formed with a screw-threaded end 31 adapted to fit in the screw hole 21a in the lug 21 so as to be detachably secured at one end to the holding member.
  • the pintle 3 is staged like a rocket so that its front section extending toward the outlet 14 is shorter and smaller in diameter than its rear section which extends approximately two-thirds of the length of the hinge housing, thus enabling the pintle to pass through the outlet 14b of the partially narrowed tubular passage 14 and into the corresponding hole 21a in the lug 21 of the holding member 2.
  • a compression spring 4 which encircles the front section of the pintle 3 within the passage 14 reacts at one end against the annular flange of the narrowed section of the passage 14 and at the other end against the end surface of the rear section of the pintle.
  • the hinge housing is arranged in such a position that the distance D1 between the side wall 12a of the hinge housing and one side edge of the back side 16 is about twice as long as the distance designated D2 between the side wall 12b of the hinge housing and the other side edge of the back side.
  • the lug 22 Upon removal of the pressure exerted on the pintle screw end 31, the lug 22, due to the spring elasticity, will be pulled back immediately toward the hinge housing and the retracting motion of the lug 22 will be obstructed as soon as part of the lug 22 strikes against part of the top surface of the free end of the lock pin 15, at which time, as the lug 22 bears tightly against the lock pin 15 and both lugs 21 and 22 lean upon the spaced vertical walls of the slope 16, the holding member can be maintained in an upright open position. To replace the holding member in locked position is easier, however, since by only pushing the holding member downwardly in the opposite direction indicated by the lower arrow shown in Fig.
