Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to belt buckles, and more particularly to a belt buckle having a carrier member for carrying a flat object
  • a conventional belt 1 has a belt buckle 12 fixedly attached to an end of a belt member 11. The other end of the belt member 11 is then locked to the belt buckle 12 for fastening the belt 1 around the waist.
  • the basic structure of the belt just described has not been changed for a very long time. Variations are usually centered around the material used for the belt member 11, how the belt buckle 12 locks the tip of the belt member 11, or the ornamental design of the belt buckle 12.
  • the present invention provides a novel belt buckle which has an indentation on the front surface housing a pin-joined and foldable carrier member.
  • the carrier member has an opening allowing the insertion and removal of a flat object into and from the carrier member.
  • a belt buckle 2 has an indentation 21 on the front surface of the body of the belt buckle 2.
  • the indentation 21 runs parallel to the belt member from one end of the belt buckle 2 to the other end, thereby forming two notches 22 on the two end surfaces of the belt buckle 2, respectively.
  • the indentation 21 allows the accommodation of a carrier member 3 which is pin-joined to an appropriate location along the circumference of the indentation 21 so that the carrier member 3 can be flipped outward to reveal the inside of the indentation 21 or flipped inward to be tucked inside the indentation 21.
  • the carrier member 3 has a ring-shaped body with a center circular storage space 33.
  • a magnet 31 is positioned on the inner surface of the carrier member 3 so that, when the carrier member 3 is placed inside the indentation 21, the magnet 31 will be attracted by a corresponding magnet 23 positioned at the bottom of the indentation 21.
  • the carrier member 3 has a slot opening 32 along the outer circumference so that its storage space 33 is accessible through the slot opening 32.
  • a flat Shaped holder element 4 can be squeezed into the carrier member 3 via the slot opening 32.
  • the shape of the aperture of the holder element 4 is compatible to, but slightly smaller than, that of the storage space 33 so that the holder element 4 will be surrounding the storage space 33.
  • a flat carried object 5 shaped similarly to the storage space 33 can also be squeezed into the storage space 33 via the slot opening 32.
  • the carried object 5 will first push open the gap of the holder element 4's C-shaped body and, when the carried object 5 is inside the storage space 33, it is clamped by the holder element 4 and is therefore fixedly positioned inside the storage space 33.
  • the storage space 33, the holder element 4, and the carried object 5 are not limited to the circular shapes as depicted in the drawings. Any other appropriate shape such as square, rectangle, diamond, polygon, or oval is possible.
  • the carried object 5 can have ornamental design 51 such as a company, club, or team logo or even a picture on its front surface for enhanced appearance.
  • the carried object 5 is very much like a coin and therefore can be used in various occasions. For example, on the gold course, it can be used by a golfer to mark the position of the golf ball, instead of using a coin or other object.
  • a user presses the carrier member 3 using the thumb through one of the notches 21 and flips the carrier member 3 forward. Then, as shown in FIG 4 , the user can use the thumb to push the carried object 5 to break out of the confinement of the holder element 4 and, subsequently, out of the carrier member 3 via the slot opening 32.
  • the carried object 5 is made of a special energy-radiating mineral for health improvement purpose as the belt buckle 2 is located close to the lower part of the abdomen which is traditionally considered as the energy center of human body by some people. Also in some embodiments, the carried object 5 is actually a "key" (e.g., a remote-sensing pass) for access control so that the user will never forget to carry his or her pass.
  • a "key" e.g., a remote-sensing pass
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show another embodiment of the present invention, whose main purpose is to enhance the retention of the carrier member 3 inside the belt buckle 2.
  • one or more holes 34 are provided along the outer circumference of the carrier member 3.
  • one or more small balls 24 are provided along the circumference of the indentation 21, partially protruding into the storage space 33.
  • the balls 24 are pressed against by springs embedded inside the belt buckle 2.
  • a slidable wedge 26 having a slant surface interfacing with the carrier member 3 is provided in the notch 22. By sliding the wedge 26 towards the carrier member 3, the slant surface of the wedge 26 lifts the carrier member 3 out of the indentation 21.
  • the carrier member 3 then can be further flipped outward.
  • the front surface of the carried object 5 is beset with a number of protruding elements 6.
  • the protruding elements 6 are diamonds or other valuable stones or metals to increase the value of the belt buckle 2.
  • the protruding elements 6 can also form a special three-dimensional pattern.
  • the slot opening 32 of the carrier member 3 has a gap 35 so that the protruding elements 6 can pass through the gap 35 when removing or inserting the carried object 5 out of or into the carrier member 3.
  • FIG. 9 some embodiment of the present invention allows the carried object 5 to be rotated inside the carrier member 3 so that the protruding elements 6 are not aligned with the gap 35. This can prevent the accidental removal of the carried object 5 from the carrier member 3.
