Description

  The present invention relates to a connector for connecting a belt belt and a buckle of a garment belt that is used to hold a garment on a user's waist by attaching it to a garment (for example, trousers). The present invention relates to a garment belt connector that allows both sides of a belt-like body to be directed outward (so-called reversible) while worn by a person.

  In general, a garment belt includes a flexible belt-like body that is long enough to be wrapped around the user's waist, and a buckle that holds the belt on the waist of the user. The belt for clothes that has been widely used in the past is worn by exposing only one side of the belt-like body (always the same surface) to the outside due to the structural limitations of the buckle. The surface (that is, the surface that comes into contact with the user's body) is not decorated. Below, the buckle which always uses only one side of a strip | belt-shaped body is exposed outside is described as a prevailing type buckle.

  From the viewpoint of improving the convenience of the garment belt, a buckle that can be worn with both sides of the belt-like body exposed to the outside has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). In other words, if a different decoration is applied to both surfaces of the belt-like body or dyed in different colors and a buckle as disclosed in Patent Document 1 is attached, the color of the belt for clothes (in accordance with the color and design of the clothes) Alternatively, decoration can be selected and used.

  However, since the buckle disclosed in Patent Document 1 (see FIG. 5) is difficult for the user to remove and attach manually, it is sold as a finished product in which the buckle 2 is attached to the belt 1 in the manufacturing process of the belt for clothes. The Therefore, it is impossible to change the combination of the band 1 and the buckle 2 after the user purchases the belt for clothes, and one side of the two sides of the band 1 is selected when used as a reversible. To use (ie, alternative).

  Further, since the buckle shown in FIG. 5 is almost twice as large as the popular buckle, the user's lower back is pressed, causing discomfort in the abdomen, particularly during meals or sitting.

  The present invention solves the problems of the prior art, connects the belt and the buckle of the garment belt so that they can be easily attached and detached by hand, and has a buckle of the same size as a popular buckle. It is an object of the present invention to provide a connector that is connected to a strip so that it can be used as a reversible.

The inventor added various ideas to the popular buckle, prototyped various buckles, attached these buckles to the belts, and conducted an experiment using the resulting garment belt as a reversible. That is, in order to expose one side of the two front and back surfaces of the belt-like body outside the waist of the user and then remove the belt for clothing from the waist and expose the other surface of the belt-like body to the outside The operation of reversing the strip (hereinafter referred to as front / back reversal operation) was repeated. As a result, when the front / back inversion operation is performed in the following steps (1) to (3), that is,
(1) Separate the buckle from the belt,
(2) Reverse the front and back of the buckle, or reverse the front and back of the belt.
(3) When performing the procedure of connecting the buckle and the belt-like body, the front-to-back inversion operation could be performed most smoothly. And by performing the front and back inversion operation in this procedure,
(a) A buckle of the same size as a popular buckle can be attached to the strip and used as a reversible.
(b) It has been found that the reverse operation of the front and back can be easily performed manually.

In addition, if you separate the buckle and strips and sell them separately,
(c) The user can purchase, for example, a combination of one buckle and two strips (or two buckles and one strip), so the buckle design and the color of the strip There is also an effect that (or decoration) can be worn in various combinations. In other words, the procedure of the above (1) to (3), whereas the garment belt disclosed in Patent Document 1 was an alternative choice using one of the two front and back surfaces of the belt-like body. With this, you can select a wide variety of clothing belts that can be turned upside down.

Next, the present inventor examined a technique for manually separating and connecting the buckle and the strip (that is, (1) and (3) above). And by sliding and separating the buckle in the width direction of the belt-like body,
(d) Since no screws or pins are used, it can be easily done manually without using tools.
(e) The inventor has found that when a garment belt is fastened and held on the waist, it can resist the pulling force generated in the longitudinal direction of the belt-like body and can prevent the buckle from falling off.

The present invention has been made based on such knowledge.
That is, the present invention is a connecting device for connecting a belt belt and a buckle of a belt for clothes used for holding clothes on the user's waist, and is attached to the end of the belt remote from the pin hole. A convex connector, and a concave connector disposed at the end of the buckle closer to the pin axis, and extending in the width direction of the belt-like body on the end side surface of the convex connector Protrusion is provided, one locking hole is provided on each end side surface of the linear protrusion, and the tip of the linear protrusion is widened in a T shape, and the concave connection facing the end surface of the convex connector A linear groove extending in the width direction of the belt-like body is provided on the opposite side surface of the tool, and the linear protrusion can be accommodated by widening the bottom of the linear groove, with one end of the linear groove being opened and the other end And attach one locking protrusion to the opposite side of the linear groove on the closing side. To protrude from the opposite sides, a further connector to arrange an elastic body for buried inside the concave connector if necessary.
In the connector according to the present invention, it is preferable that the locking protrusion is a sphere and the elastic body is a spring.

  According to the present invention, the user can connect the belt belt and the buckle of the garment belt so that the user can easily attach and detach the belt, and the belt can be used as a reversible buckle having the same size as the popular buckle. Since the connecting tool to be connected to can be obtained, there is a remarkable effect in the industry.

It is a top view which shows typically the example of the belt for clothes using the coupling tool of this invention. (a) is a side view of the convex connector in FIG. 1, and (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in (a). (a) is a side view of the concave connector in FIG. 1, and (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in (a). FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an example of a locking protrusion in FIG. 1. It is a perspective view which shows typically the example of the buckle used with the conventional reversible clothes belt.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view schematically showing an example in which a belt-like body 1 and a buckle 2 of a garment belt using a connector of the present invention are separated. The connector of the present invention is composed of a convex connector 3 and a concave connector 4.

  First, the convex connector 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. Fig.2 (a) is a side view of the convex connector in FIG. 1, (b) is sectional drawing of the AA arrow in (a).

  A linear protrusion 5 (hereinafter referred to as a linear protrusion) extending in the width direction of the band-like body 1 is provided on a side surface 31 (hereinafter referred to as an end side surface) of the end portion of the convex connector 3. The length of the linear protrusion 5 is shorter than that of the convex connector 3, and one locking hole 6 is provided on each end side surface 31 on both sides of the linear protrusion 5 (two in total). Moreover, the front-end | tip of the linear protrusion 5 is expanded in T shape.

  Next, the concave connector 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. Fig.3 (a) is a side view of the concave connector in FIG. 1, (b) is sectional drawing of the BB arrow in (a).

  The concave connector 4 has an end portion on the side close to the pin shaft 11 for rotating the pin 9 of the buckle 2, that is, the side surface 41 of the concave connector 4 facing the end surface 31 of the convex connector 3 ( Hereinafter, it is disposed on the opposite side surface. The concave connector 4 is provided with a linear groove 7 (hereinafter referred to as a linear groove) extending in the width direction of the belt-like body 1 with its bottom portion widened. The length of the linear groove 7 is shorter than that of the concave connector 4, one end of the linear groove 7 is opened in the width direction of the strip 1, and the other end of the linear groove 7 is closed. One locking protrusion 8 is attached on the opposed side surface 41 on the closed side of the linear groove 7 and protrudes from the opposed side surface 41.

  When the belt-like body 1 and the buckle 2 are connected using the convex connector 3 attached to the belt-like body 1 and the concave connector 4 arranged on the buckle 2 in this way, the linear groove of the concave-shaped coupler 4 is used. 7, the linear protrusion 5 of the convex connector 3 is inserted. Specifically, the linear protrusion 5 is inserted from the opening on the open side of the linear groove 7 and is slid in the width direction of the strip 1. Then, the linear protrusion 5 comes into contact with the closed wall portion of the linear groove 7 and stops.

  At this time, the locking protrusion 8 protruding from the opposite side surface 41 of the concave connector 4 is fitted into one of the locking holes 6 provided on the end side surface 31 of the convex connector 3, so The protrusion 5 is stably held in a state in which the protrusion 5 is in contact with the closed wall portion of the linear groove 7.

  However, while the linear protrusion 5 slides in the linear groove 7, it is necessary to be buried in the concave connector 4 so that the locking protrusion 8 does not protrude from the opposing side surface 41. Therefore, the elastic body 10 is used in order to cause the locking protrusion 8 to protrude from the opposing side surface 41 and be buried as necessary. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the spherical locking protrusion 8 is supported by an elastic body 10 (for example, a spring), and the top of the spherical body is protruded from the opposing side surface 41.

  When the user fastens and holds the belt for clothes connecting the belt 1 and the buckle 2 to the waist, a tensile force is generated in the longitudinal direction of the belt 1, but the widened portion of the linear protrusion 5 of the convex connector 3. Is fitted in the widened portion of the linear groove 7 of the concave connector 4, so that the belt-like body 1 and the buckle 2 can be connected and held against the pulling force. Further, since the locking projection 8 is fitted into the locking hole 6 by the elastic force of the elastic body 10, it is possible to prevent the convex connector 3 and the concave connector 4 from being displaced even if the user changes the posture.

  That is, if the belt 1 and the buckle 2 are connected by the connecting device of the present invention, the belt can be used without any trouble.

  When performing the reverse operation of the garment belt, after the user removes the garment belt from the waist, the linear protrusion 5 is removed from the opening on the open side of the linear groove 7, and the belt 1 And buckle 2 are separated. Next, the front and back of the strip 1 are reversed. Alternatively, the front and back of the buckle 2 may be reversed. Then, the linear protrusion 5 is inserted into the linear groove 7 and is slid until it comes into contact with the closed wall portion of the linear groove 7 and stops. As a result, the locking projection 8 is fitted into the locking hole 6 by the elasticity of the elastic body 10.

  As described above, by using the coupling device of the present invention, it is possible to easily perform the front / back reversing operation for use as a reversible clothing belt.

  Here, an example has been described in which the convex connector is attached to the belt and the concave connector is provided to the buckle. However, the concave connector may be provided to the belt and the convex connector may be attached to the buckle. good.

  A garment belt equipped with the connector of the present invention was used for one month. In the meantime, the reverse operation was performed twice a day, but there was no finger pain or injury, and the reverse operation could easily be performed.

  Furthermore, when the connector was visually inspected after one month of use, no breakage or damage was found.
