Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a belt buckle.
  • It relates more particularly to a belt buckle adaptable to at least two widths of belt ribbon.
  • the belt buckle comprises a body on either side of which extend two curved plates.
  • the curved plates can slide relative to the body to move away from or towards each other to define different belt widths between them.
  • Each of the two plates has a finger and the two fingers point towards each other in a common plane to insert into a hem of belt tape to secure the buckle to one end of the belt tape.
  • the two plates are held in position relative to the body by friction by means of a leaf spring which compresses each plate against the body.
  • the belt buckle comprises a housing and bridges formed of two parts which extend on either side of the housing.
  • the belt buckle further comprises a mechanism, housed at least partly in the housing, which comprises a push button movable between a first position and a second position and configured to move at least one of the two parts of the bridges relative to the other between a first configuration, corresponding to a first belt ribbon width, when the push button is in the first position, and a second configuration, corresponding to a second belt ribbon width, when the push button is in the second position.
  • the desired width is easily selected by means of a push button.
  • the movement of the push button makes it possible to actuate the mechanism driving at least one of the two parts of the bridge, which can be brought closer or further away from each other according to the chosen configuration, depending on the position of the push button, and with the bridge forming a rigid loop, configured to be crossed by the belt ribbon.
  • the invention aims to provide a belt buckle adaptable to at least two widths of belt ribbon which is particularly simple and convenient to use.
  • the invention thus relates, in a first aspect, to a belt buckle, adaptable to at least two different widths of belt tape, characterized in that it comprises a first connecting branch, a second branch forming a bridge and mounted so as to be able to rotate around the first connecting branch, a third branch forming a tibi and mounted so as to be able to rotate around the first connecting branch, with the first connecting branch being mechanically secured to each of the second branch forming a bridge and the third branch forming a tibi, and an actuating device provided with a first mechanism configured to allow the second branch forming a bridge to pivot between a first stable position and a second stable position, and a second mechanism configured to allow the third branch forming a tibi to pivot between a first stable position and a second stable position, with the belt buckle having a first configuration corresponding to a first width of belt tape when the second branch forming a bridge and the third branch forming a tibi are in their respective first stable position, and a second configuration corresponding to
  • the desired width is easily selected by simply pivoting the second bridge branch and the third tibi branch and selecting one or the other of the respective first and second stable positions.
  • the second branch forming a bridge can also serve as a rigid loop configured to be crossed by the belt ribbon.
  • the actuating device is configured such that in the respective first and second stable positions of the second bridge branch and the third tibi branch, the latter are oriented substantially parallel to each other.
  • the actuating device is configured such that in the respective first stable position of the second bridge branch and the third tibi branch, the latter are oriented substantially perpendicular to the first connecting branch; while in the respective second stable position of the second bridge branch and the third branch forming the tibi, the latter are inclined at a determined angle less than 90° relative to the first connecting branch.
  • the first mechanism and the second mechanism of the actuating device each comprise a plurality of positioning pins extending in projection from the first connecting branch and housed in a plurality of housings provided in the second branch forming a bridge, respectively in the third branch forming a tibi.
  • Each housing has an outline delimiting a movement of a respective positioning pin and a bottom wall in which are provided at least two recesses distinct from each other and intended to accommodate one end of the positioning pin, the cooperation between a pin and one of the recesses corresponding to one or the other of the first and second stable positions.
  • the first mechanism and the second mechanism of the actuating device each comprise an adjustment washer housed in the second branch forming a bridge, respectively in the third branch forming a tibi.
  • the second branch forming a bridge has a C shape having a main portion and two lateral portions extending on either side of the main portion, and a complementary portion extending opposite the main portion and joining the two lateral portions.
  • the third tibial branch has a C shape having a main portion and two lateral portions extending on either side of the main portion, and a tibial organ mechanically attached to the main portion.
  • the first connecting branch comprises support zones configured to come into abutment against respectively the second branch forming a bridge and the third branch forming a tibi in the second respective stable position of the latter.
  • the invention also relates, in a second aspect, to a belt comprising a belt buckle comprising at least some of the characteristics described above, and a belt ribbon crossing the second branch forming a bridge of the belt buckle.
  • the belt ribbon may have a first predetermined width and pass through the second bridge leg of the belt buckle in its first configuration, or the belt ribbon may have a second predetermined width less than the first predetermined width and pass through the second bridge leg of the belt buckle in its second configuration.
  • FIG. 1 has a belt 1 provided with a belt buckle 2 and a belt ribbon 3 intended to be secured to the belt buckle 2.
  • the belt ribbon 3 is for example made of leather or textile.
  • the belt ribbon 3 has a length L corresponding to a wearer's waist size, and a first width e1, visually corresponding to a height of the ribbon.
  • the belt buckle 2 is shown in a first configuration in which it is adapted to the ribbon of width e1.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates belt 1 with a belt ribbon 3 which has the same length L but a second width e2, visually corresponding to a height of the ribbon.
  • the belt buckle 2 is shown in a second configuration in which it is adapted to the ribbon of width e2.
  • the belt buckle 2 is adaptable to at least the two widths e1 and e2 of the belt ribbon 3.
  • the first configuration is called “wide” here, while the second configuration is called “narrow”.
  • the first ribbon width e1 corresponds for example to a width of 38 mm and the second ribbon width e2 corresponds for example to a width of 32 mm.
  • Belt buckle 2 and its first and second configurations will be described first with reference to Figures 3 to 5 And 6 to 8 , which show it in wide and narrow configuration respectively.
  • the belt buckle 2 here comprises a first connecting branch, also called central branch 4, a second branch forming a bridge, also called bridge branch 5, and a third branch forming a tibi, also called a tibi branch 6.
  • the bridge branch 5 and the tibi branch 6 are both mechanically secured to the central branch 4 and mounted to be mobile in rotation around the central branch 4.
  • the bridge branch 5 here serves as a rigid loop 8 configured to be crossed by the belt ribbon.
  • the tibi branch 6 is provided with a tibi member 7 extending at a distance from the central branch 4 and configured to be inserted into at least one mounting/tightening orifice (not shown) provided in the belt ribbon, for example to secure the belt ribbon to the belt buckle and/or to adapt the length of the latter to the size of the wearer of the belt.
  • the tibial member 7 here forms a fixed rod provided with a relatively widened head configured to be inserted into the at least one mounting/tightening orifice.
  • the belt buckle 2 further comprises here an actuating device provided with a first mechanism 9 configured to allow the pivoting of the bridge branch 5 between a first stable position and a second stable position, and a second mechanism 10 configured to allow the pivoting of the third branch forming the tibi between a first stable position and a second stable position.
