Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a buckle for a belt, and more particularly to a buckle with a snap button.

[Description of prior art]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As shown in FIG. 1, a buckle that has been commonly used for trench coat belts and the like is comprised of a metal frame-shaped ring 1 and a support rod 2 integrally formed in the center thereof. In such a buckle, one end 5 of the belt material 4 is looped around the support rod 2, and then the wound end is sewn to the belt material 4 at a position 6.
When the belt is used, the other end 7 of the belt material is inserted into the openings 8 on both sides of the support rod 2 of the frame-shaped ring 1, and then into the adjacent openings 9 with the support rod 2 in between. The belt fabric is locked by friction between the lower edge of the frame ring 1 and the belt fabric surrounding the support rod 2. However, with the buckle having the above configuration, it is necessary to insert the end of the belt into the frame ring 1 as described above each time the belt is used, and if the width of the openings 8 and 9 is narrow, such work may not be necessary. It becomes quite troublesome. On the other hand, when attaching the belt fabric 4 to the frame ring 1, winding the belt end around the support rod 2 and sewing at position 6 are also relatively troublesome.

[Purpose of invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a buckle that is easy to tighten.

Another object of the invention is to provide a buckle that eliminates the need to wrap and sew belt material around the buckle.

[Summary of the idea and effects]

According to the present invention, the frame ring is a rectangular or annular frame ring which is not fixed to the belt fabric and is integrally formed with a support rod for passing the belt fabric through the belt fabric. , a buckle is formed by combining an end member fixed to one end of the belt fabric, and a male member or a female member of a snap button is disposed on the rear surface of the support rod of the frame-shaped ring;
There is provided a buckle characterized in that a female member or a male member of a snap button is disposed on the front surface of the end member.

According to the buckle of the present invention, there is no need to insert the belt material through the hole in the buckle each time the belt is used, and the belt can be easily tightened. Further, work efficiency is improved since it is no longer necessary to attach the belt fabric to the support rod of the frame ring during belt production.

Furthermore, a plurality of male or female members of the snap button may be disposed on the rear surface of the support rod of the frame ring, and a female or male member of the snap button may be disposed on the front surface of the end member. For example, the attachment strength against accidental dislodgement in a larger buckle can be improved, and at least one of the plurality of male members or female members is loosely fitted into the long hole of the end member, thereby improving the button attachment. It is possible to have the effect of relaxing the strictness in terms of accuracy and thereby improving the workability of attaching the snap button.

[Description of preferred embodiments]

The buckle with snap button of the present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Please refer to FIGS. 3 to 6. Figure 6 shows the frame-shaped ring 10 of the buckle with snap button of the present invention.
It is a plan view seen from the back side. A support rod 20 is integrally formed at the center of the frame ring 10, spanning the frame ring 10. The back surface 22 of the support rod 20 is preferably flat, and a plurality of snapping engagement members, preferably male or female members 30 of snap buttons, are disposed thereon. Belt fabric 60
As shown in FIG. 4, an end member 4 is attached to one end of the
0 is disposed such that its front surface 50 faces the back surface 22 of the frame-shaped ring 10. The end member 40 is of an annular shape so that the end member 40, preferably of belt fabric, can be inserted therethrough. The belt fabric inserted through the annular portion may be folded back into a loop shape and sewn onto the belt fabric at a position as shown by number 70 in FIG. It may be fixed by pinching. The front surface 50 of the end member 40 is preferably flat, and the frame ring 10
A female or male member 52 of the snap button is disposed at a position corresponding to the male or female member 30 of the snap button provided on the back side 22 of. By using such an end member 40, the attachment strength of the button member 52 is improved and the attachment work itself is made easier than when the female member or male member 52 of the snap button is directly attached to the belt fabric 60. be done.

When tightening the belt configured as described above, first, one end 90 (see FIG. 7) of the belt fabric 60 is passed through the openings 12 and 14 on each side of the support rod 20 of the frame ring 10 to the support rod 20. and is pulled out to a length sufficient to allow the one end 90 to be grasped when tightening the belt. This operation only needs to be performed once before using the belt for the first time, and is not necessary for subsequent uses of the belt. Next, the other end of the belt is pulled to the back side of the frame ring 10, and the female member or male member 52 of the snap button disposed on the front side of the end member 40 is pulled.
and the male or female member 30 of the snap button on the back side of the frame ring 10 are elastically engaged. The end portion 90 is then pulled out further to the right as viewed in FIG. 7 to complete the belt tightening operation.

The button member on the end member 40 side is designated by number 8 in FIG.
0, thereby relaxing the strictness in mounting accuracy between the mounting interval of the button members on the back side of the frame ring 10 and the mounting interval of the button members on the end member side. It is possible.

Although the invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, it should be remembered that many modifications may be made to the invention.
