Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention falls within the technical field of buckles and similar fasteners for joining belts or belts, and refers in particular to a safety fastener for belts, belts and other fastening means that are fastened by a through buckle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There is a need in the case of certain types of users, such as small children or older people, to ensure the position and placement of a belt or a tether by additional means to the known buckles that already have said belts or belts , and also prevent its manipulation from loosening or even releasing them, thus rendering its holding function useless.

Various devices designed to engage in the body of a belt or the like and exercise an additional fixing function to that performed by the belt's own means are known in the state of the art. However, the problem with these devices is that they do not contemplate means that prevent the user from accessing the buckle and manipulating it.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention describes a safety closure for belts and belts, complementary to the usual means of fixation with which said elements already have, such as buckles, brooches or the like. Additionally, this closure prevents access and therefore the manipulation of said fixing means by the user, thus preventing them from loosening and releasing.

For this, the closure comprises a body and a retention element. The body

it comprises, in turn, an upper face, a lower face and connecting elements between both faces, and has a through opening defined between the upper and the lower face, through which the belt or belt with which it is intended is inserted to be coupled

Unlike other devices, it is contemplated that the body incorporates a cover surface intended to cover the belt buckle. Said cover surface extends from the upper face of the body in the same direction of the through opening between both faces, and may consist of a lateral extension of said upper face, or an element attached to said face.

Additionally, the upper face has a through hole towards the defined interior clearance between the upper and the lower face, through which the retaining element is introduced. Said through hole preferably has a threaded on its lateral surface. Likewise, it is provided that the lower face of the body has a blind hole facing said through hole, intended to act as a stop of the retaining element.

The retaining element in turn comprises a threaded sector, intended to be screwed into the threaded side wall of the hole made in the upper face of the body, and an elongated sector, intended to be introduced through said hole in the upper face of the body and through a hole made in the belt until it meets the blind hole in the lower face of the body.

Once the body is inserted into the belt, and when said belt is fastened to the user in the desired position by its own closure, said body is manually moved by sliding until it is arranged in a position adjacent to the closure, so that the covering surface covers and hide the belt's own closure from view.

With the body in said position, the retention element is manually introduced through the through hole of the upper face, which is rotated to screw the respective threaded surfaces of said retention element and through hole, so that the elongated sector passes through a orifice of the belt until it meets the blind hole, thereby locking the closure with the belt locked in position

desired. When you want to loosen or release the belt, just unscrew the retaining element and slide the body of the closure to uncover the belt buckle and manipulate it.

The safety closure thus described is a simple and economical solution to fix the position of belts and belts and is especially applicable in the case of users who need help from third parties to put said belts and belts, such as children or advanced persons age, preventing users from manipulating them and can loosen or release them.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical implementation thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 1. - It shows a perspective view of the security closure, in which its main constituent elements are appreciated.

Figure 2.- It shows a side view of a cross section made in the body of the closure.

Figure 3.- Shows a perspective view of the closure placed on a belt, in which it is appreciated how it fixes its position and covers the fastening means of said belt.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Next, a detailed explanation of a preferred embodiment of the object of the present invention is provided with the aid of the aforementioned figures.

The safety closure for belts and belts described comprises a body

(one)

and a retaining element (2), shown in Figure 1. The body (1), which in the preferred embodiment shown in the figures has essentially parallelepipedic shape, in turn comprises an upper face (3) and a lower face ( 4) joined by connecting elements (5), and between which there is an opening

(6)

 through, through which a belt (7) is introduced by sliding.

From the upper face (3) of the body (1) a cover surface (8) extends in the same direction of the through opening (6) between both faces. Said cover surface

(8)

It is intended to cover a buckle (9) of the belt (7). Additionally, the upper face (3) has a through hole (10), whose internal wall has a thread, while the inner face of the lower face (4) of the body (1) has a blind hole (11). ) concentric with the hole (10) of the upper face (3), as shown in Figure 2.

For its part, the retaining element (2) comprises a threaded sector (12), intended to join with the internal threaded wall of the hole (10) of the upper face (3) of the body (1), and an elongated sector ( 13).

Regarding the placement of the closure, the belt (7) is inserted by sliding through the opening (6) of the body (1). Once the belt (7) is in the desired position, secured by the buckle (9) of the belt (7), the body (1) of the closure slides along the belt (7) until it is placed in a position close to the buckle (9), in which said buckle (9) is covered by the cover surface (8), as shown in Figure 3, and the hole (10) of the upper face (3) matches one of the holes in the belt (7) to insert its buckle (9).

In said position, the retention element (2) is introduced through the hole (10), joining the body (1) by means of the threaded sector thread (12) with the internal threaded wall of the hole (10) of the upper face ( 3). The elongated sector (13) of the retaining element (2) passes through a belt hole (7) until reaching the blind hole (11) made in the inner face of the lower face (4), which acts as a stop, immobilizing it way the body (1) of the closure when locking it with the belt (7), so that the buckle (9) of the belt (7) cannot be accessed or manipulated without unscrewing the retaining element (2) from the body (1) .
