Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION This invention relates to a novel belt catch that utilizes a new type of clasp, construction, and design. This belt catch consists of a fixed base, an adjustable stop and a belt that can be coupled together. This belt clasp has evolved from the shape, pattern, and manufacturing limitations of traditional belt clasps, making the product structure simpler, easier to manufacture, lower cost, and easier to combine. Furthermore, the decoration, form, and pattern of the clasp can be fully expressed in accordance with the designer's ideas and creative thinking, thereby improving its artistic value and practicality.

(Prior Art) Fasteners (fasteners) or retaining rings (FA) commonly used on belts.
retaining buckle), retaining ring (fas
The methods used to connect belts (called tenfng rings, etc.) are: (1) Sewing, punching, and fastening As shown in Figure 4, this method is mainly used to connect the The stop bar A1 of the stopper A passes through the slot B1 provided in the belt B, and the end of the belt B is bent to wrap around the horizontal bar A2 of the stopper A. The ends of belt B are each fixed by sewing, fixing, or pressing. This conventional method has the following problems.

■The shape of stopper A is difficult to take other than a ring shape (for example, the conventional method of rectangular or circular arc shape), and the ring body must be thicker than the belt width of belt B (otherwise belt B cannot be passed through the ring body), which greatly limits the shape and dimensions.

■There must be a slot B at the joining end B2 of belt B and stopper A, and in addition, stopper A and belt B must be connected in various ways (auto, punch, stop).
Manufacturing is cumbersome and complicated, increasing costs.

■The contact area B4 between the stopper end B3 at the other end of the belt B and the other horizontal bar A of the stopper A always generates upper contact friction during use, so the structure of the contact area B4 after long use. This can easily lead to loosening, distortion, and even breakage.

(2) Pinching with protruding teeth As shown in Figure 4, this method uses a stopper C with protruding teeth.
The main subject is A protrusion tooth block C3 having a protrusion tooth C3 is rotatably connected mainly to a key shaft C3, so that the protrusion tooth block C1 can rotate at a predetermined angle with the key shaft C3 as a rotation axis. After rotating around the key shaft C0 to form a relatively large gap between the protrusion tooth C and the end of the stopper C, and inserting the belt D into the gap, the protrusion tooth block C2 is returned to its original position. If you return it to C3
is inserted into the extending end of the belt D and is clamped to connect the belt D and the stopper C. Also, a stop 5C4 (ie, an adjustment stop) is used to stop the belt D. However, this method has the following drawbacks.

■The structure of stopper C is extremely complicated. The stop C is composed of members such as the stop body, the key shaft CL, and the tooth block 02 (in other words, the two parts, the fixed base body and the adjustment stop body, must be designed separately). Therefore,
During manufacturing, it costs a lot of money to make the molds. After manufacturing these parts, time and labor must be spent on assembling them until they are completed, making production not only troublesome but also considerably costly.

■In designing the clasp C, the clasp C must be larger than the belt width of the belt D (otherwise, the belt cannot be inserted into the clasp C and clamped by the prongs C3), and However, the principle that one end is used as a clamping end and the other end as a hooking end must be taken into consideration, so the shape and size standards are extremely limited. Designers can hardly develop new ideas in this type of belt clasp.

(3) Direct stopping method As shown in Figure 6, in this method, one end of the stopper E (i.e., the fixed base body) is fastened directly to one end of the belt F, and the belt is fixed with the main body E (namely, the adjustment stopper). Connect with F. However, in this method, the shape is rough, and the process of assembling the stopper E and the belt F is troublesome, consuming time and effort. Most importantly, the user cannot remove the catch E. That is, since the plurality of clasps E and the plurality of belts F are used in harmony, they cannot be replaced or replaced with each other. Therefore, the effect is not sufficient. In addition, the fixed base body and the adjustment stop body must be designed separately, and the form of construction is also very limited.

(4) In addition, all traditional belt clasps have two major common drawbacks.

■All clasps must be thicker than the belt width at the connection point, so dimensional standards are limited by the belt.

■All clasps must be attached to one end of the belt, and it is difficult to change their fixed position, which greatly affects the usability of the clasp and limits the freedom of design.

As described above, the present invention has serious disadvantages in that the current belt clasp is limited to various existing types, so that it is difficult to escape from the limitation in the molding form, and the manufacturing combination is costly, complicated and troublesome. To provide a structure of a belt clasp that can simplify the structure and provide greatly improved efficiency compared to traditional belt clasps.

Another object of the present invention is that the belt can be attached at any suitable position on the belt, irrespective of its shape or size.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a belt stopper that has wide applicability and a high degree of freedom in design.

Yet another object of the present invention is that each stopper can be changed arbitrarily and used in combination, without being limited by the width of the belt.
The purpose is to provide a belt clasp whose shape and elegance can be changed according to individual preference.

(Structure of the Invention) The means of the invention according to claim 1 for achieving the above object includes a fixed base body, an adjustment stop body, and a belt, and the fixed base body includes a decoration body and a fixed base. , the decoration body can be of any shape and standard, the fixing base can be a column of any geometry with a screw hole in it, the adjustment stop body is located at its upper end is provided with a stop ball, a regular picture extends below the stop ball, a plate body is connected to the bottom of the regular picture, the protruding part of the dish body is threaded on the outer periphery, and one end of the belt is a connecting end. The other end is a mating end, and a coupling hole having approximately the same shape and dimensions as the fixed base is provided at an appropriate position on either of the mating ends, and a stop on which the mating ball is hooked is provided at the mating end. A plurality of dowel holes are provided, and in the above structure, in order to secure the adjustment stopper and the fixed base, a protrusion with a thread cut on the outer periphery is screwed into the screw hole, and the decorative body and the plate body are connected to each other. This belt clasp is characterized in that it constitutes a clasp for a belt used by clamping the belt.

The invention according to claim 2 is the belt stopper according to claim 1, characterized in that the standard dimensions of the decorative body of the fixed base body and the plate body of the adjustment stop body are larger than the fixed base of the fixed base body. .

The invention according to claim 3 provides that when the decorative body of the fixed base body must have directionality, if the fixed base is cylindrical, it must have two or more fixed bases and adjustment stop bodies. 2. The belt clasp according to claim 1, wherein if the fixing base is a geometric column other than a cylinder, only one fixing base and an adjustment stop are required.

(Example) Next, the structural features of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the embodiment shown in the attached drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1.2, the present invention includes parts such as a fixed base 10, an adjustment stop 20, and a belt 30. Among them, the fixed base body 10 is composed of an ornament 11 (in this example, a pearl is used as an ornament) and a fixed base 12. These are installed by a fitting base 13 protruding onto a fixed base 12 (a fitting base is not necessary for ornaments that are not jewelry). The decorative body 11 and the fixed base 12 are fitted to the base 13 by using a strong adhesive or by welding (if the decorative body 11 and the fixed base 12 are made of metal), or by combining the decorative body 11 and the fixed base 12
If they are made of the same material with no risk of separation, they are manufactured in one piece. There is a screw hole 121 in the center of the fixed base 12. The fixed base 12 can have any shape of a geometric cylinder, such as a rectangular prism, a triangular prism, an elliptical cylinder, etc.

A stop ball 21 is provided at the upper end of the adjustment stop body 20. A fitting 22 extends below the stopper ball 21, and a plate body 23 is connected to the bottom of the fitting 22 (its dimensions must be larger than the fixed base 12 of the fixed base 10). A protrusion 24 whose outer periphery is threaded protrudes below 23 .

The belt 30 has two ends, one end being a coupling end 31 for fastening a catch, and the other end being a matching end 32 for fastening with a catch. A coupling hole 311 having substantially the same size and shape as the fixed base 12 of the fixed base body 10 (with which it is to be matched) is provided at an appropriate position on the coupling end 31 of the belt 3o. Several mating holes 321 are provided at equal intervals on the mating end 32, the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the ball neck 22 of the adjustment stop body 20 (however, the diameter is smaller than the groove of the stop ball 21). .

The combination of the present invention as shown in FIG.
There is no need to connect the clasp and belt in a complicated manner such as by striking or pressing. The fixed base 12 of the fixed base body 10 is passed through the coupling hole 311 of the belt 30, and the adjustment stopper 20 is tightened from the opposite side with its projection 24 into the screw hole 121 of the fixed base 12 to be fixed. In this way, the joint end 31 of the belt 30 is sandwiched between the decorative body 11 of the fixed base body 10 (fitted to the base 13) and the plate body 23 of the adjustment stop body 20. In this case, fixed base 1
2 and the connecting hole 311 have the same shape and dimensions, so there is no risk that the entire clasp will loosen or rotate after being tightened.This feature is due to the directionality (position of the decorative body) This is particularly effective when the uprightness or inclination of the object is a problem. Thus, when in use, the belt 30 can be tied around the waist simply by hooking the stopper ball 21 of the adjustment stopper 20 into the stopper hole 321 of the stopper end 32 of the belt 30.

(Effects of the Invention) To summarize the above, the present invention is a structure in which a fixed base body and an adjustable stop body are combined and provided integrally as a new fastening method. The shape of the belt clasp can be completely different from traditional belt clasps, creating new functionality and practical value. Its characteristics are as follows.

■The form and structure have departed from the traditional range of sewing, punching, and pressing. Therefore, there are no restrictions on the size, shape, or design of the pattern. There is no restriction that the size of the belt clasp must be larger than the width of the belt (and the decorative body is not limited to a narrow range such as a ring or a plate. Therefore, the decoration of the belt clasp is
without the limitations of old traditional belt clasps,
It can be arbitrarily improved according to the designer's creative ideas. The decorative body can be decorated with excellent and beautiful patterns. Moreover, it can be a three-dimensional ornament with a special shape such as diamond, pearl (as in this example), l4, flower, gold coin, watch face, etc. There is no limit to the shapes that can be applied to it, and it can change forever depending on the designer's inspiration. This sufficiently improves the artistic sense and value of the belt stopper. Further, the decorative body 11 is not limited in size as long as its standard size is larger than the fixed base 12. Thus, the present invention represents a tremendous improvement over traditional belt clasps.

■Simple and excellent structure. The dimensions of the fixing members (adjustment stopper 20 and fixing base 12) are compact and easier to manufacture than traditional belt clasps. Significant material savings and manufacturing costs can thus be achieved.

■Connection with the belt 30 is done by screwing and tightening using a fixing action, which makes assembly extremely simple and quick, and does not require the complicated processing steps and troublesome operations of the traditional sewing, punching, and fastening methods. can be reduced. The present invention
This provides the simplest combination effect.

■The belt 30 and the stopper are the fixed base 12 and the original image 22.
They can be completely joined by simply passing them through the opposing joining hole 311 and the mating hole 321. The machining process becomes simpler and simpler, and relatively speaking, the machining cost is reduced.

[F] The clasp can be attached to any suitable location on the belt 30, avoiding the disadvantage of having to attach it to one end of the belt 30 in traditional belt clasps. Therefore, according to the present invention, the location and design of the catch can be improved one step further.

■Each clasp can be exchanged with each other and used in harmony.

For example, you can exchange the clasp on the first belt with the clasp on the second or third belt, and change the appearance and characteristics of each clasp by providing the best combination with different belts. For those who like belt clasps, it is a great pleasure to be able to coordinate the ornaments of belt clasps with different fashions.

Note that if the fixed base 12 of the fixed base body 10 is a columnar body having any geometrical shape other than a cylindrical shape, there is no risk of rotation and loosening after fitting into the coupling hole 311 having the same shape and dimensions. Therefore, only one fixed base 12 is required,
If the decorative body 11 (referring to the design shape, pattern, or design of the decorative body itself) must have directionality, a geometric column other than a cylindrical shape is suitable as the shape of the fixed base 12. However, the two fixed bases 12 and the adjustment stopper 2
As long as there are two coupling holes 311 facing each other and two rows of locking holes 321, it may be designed in a cylindrical shape. If the decorative body 11 has no directionality, the design of the fixed base 12 is not restricted. Once connected to the fixed base 12, there is no risk of loosening or rotating and losing correct direction. Therefore, the present invention has great utility and is a complete improvement.
