Definitions

  • the invention relates to a belt buckle according to the generic term of protection claim 1.
  • Such a belt buckle is from document GB. A.2237 61 known.
  • Such belt buckles are known and for example in the cavalry used to attach the waist belt to the saddle strings.
  • the spring load of the pin is supposed to be a "re-belt", i.e. Retightening the waist belt on the saddle strings, lighten from the saddle, which mostly after a short ride is desirable.
  • the spring loading of the pin causes that this one into one of the holes without the help of a second hand the respective saddle string takes place.
  • It usually consists of a torsion turning spring surrounding the bearing axis of the pin, their angled ends on the one hand on one of the two longitudinal ones Posts of the buckle and on the other hand on the pin issue. This requires that the bearing axis in question be separated made by the rest of the buckle body and inserted into this becomes. But there is also a risk that the ends of the spring slide off the longitudinal spar or pin and the spring loses its tension and thus also its effect. The spring ends then freely standing in the room can also be closed Cause injury.
  • the invention is intended to remedy this. You are from hence the task of a belt buckle according to the generic term trained so that they are easier to manufacture, more reliable functional and also safe in terms of avoidance of injuries.
  • the elastomeric tape can easily be already in one Use the finished buckle, which is therefore not a separately manufactured one Bearing axis required for the pin. It cannot be unwanted jump off. In the event of a decrease in tension through Aging or tearing can make it easy, even by laypersons, be replaced, and finally it offers no possibility of injury.
  • the belt buckle 2 shown has an essentially rectangular buckle body 4, for example made of brass, with two longitudinal bars 6 and 8 and a so-called first transverse spar 10, a second transverse spar Spar 12, a third transverse spar 14 and one fourth transverse spar 16. While the spars 12, 14 and 16 with the longitudinal bars 6 and 8 an integral part form the buckle body 4, the spar 10 is in the relevant ends of the longitudinal bars 6 and 8 used and from a solid roller 18 made of wear-resistant Plastic, e.g. Nylon, surrounded. On the spar 14 is between two bundles 20 and 22 of the pin 24 formed thereon Buckle pivoted in the middle by its inner end 26 is bent around the spar 14. Of course, the spar 14 also by drilling a correspondingly reinforced inner End of the pin 24 passed through or executed in one piece be what he then like the spar 10 between the Spars 6 and 8 should be inserted.
  • the pin 24 is subject to the spar 10 the roller 18 to be directed by an endless spring force Elastomeric tape 28.
  • the elastomeric tape is 28 between the spars 12 and 14 from below around the pin 24, then on both sides of the pin 24 from below around the spar 12 led around and over the spar 14, whereupon it from below outside around the two longitudinal bars 6 and 8.
  • the transverse spar 16 together with the beyond the transverse spar 14 ends of the longitudinal bars 6 and 8 superfluous, which of course then the elastomer band 28 is guided around the spar 14 in another way have to be.
  • the elastomeric band 28 could run after the Holmes 14 be guided a second time over the pin 24.
  • the elastomer band 28 expediently has one circular cross section.
  • Such elastomeric tapes are, for example for sealing purposes, as so-called O-rings in all possible lengths and thicknesses are commercially available.
  • the elastomeric band 28 can subsequently in the otherwise finished belt buckle 2 inserted and correspondingly easily exchanged or replaced. It cannot give rise to any injuries such as those caused by the pointed ends of wire springs can arise. Then works the elastomeric band 28 but also centering on a relatively loose pin like the pin 24 shown.
  • the role 12 expediently a relatively large diameter, which is preferably 0.4 to 0.6 times and preferably about 0.5 times the clear buckle width b.
  • the roller makes it easier to pull the end of the belt through the Buckle and the snap into place in one of the Belt holes, as has been shown, are essential.
