Description

  The present invention relates to a buckle in which one end of a long member made of leather or the like is fixed and the other end is fixed at an arbitrary position, and a belt using the same.

  Conventionally, in a general belt, a buckle is provided at one end of a belt-like long member made of leather, synthetic leather, or cloth, and the other end of the long member is arranged at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction. The tip of a rod-shaped member, which is a part of the buckle, is inserted into the hole and fixed in a predetermined positional relationship. However, in the belt having such a configuration, the fixing position depends on the position of the hole provided in the long member, and the position cannot be adjusted precisely. In view of this point, a belt of a type in which the other end of the long member is locked at an arbitrary position by a buckle has been proposed.

  For example, a serrated portion having a plurality of narrowly spaced saw teeth is formed on the belt, and a locking piece whose end is locked to the saw tooth portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical operating rod. Is locked to the sawtooth portion of the belt and is released when the knob of the pressing bar is pressed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
