[0018]

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects. By attaching the transmitter to the buckle of the belt, the transmitter does not get in the way and feels less weight. Also, the transmitter usually has two or three operation buttons, each of which has a different shape depending on its shape, dimensions or metering. Because it is stable, the buttons do not have to be visible and can be easily identified and pressed with the touch of a finger.

The transmitter attached to the buckle is a transmitter of a keyless entry system for remotely locking and unlocking the door of a car, so that when the passenger gets on the vehicle, the transmitter attached to the buckle unlocks the door. The key can be taken out of the pocket, and the key can be stored in the pocket when getting off the vehicle. Therefore, since the keys are not held when the door is opened and closed, it is particularly convenient when carrying the baggage, and there is no danger of the keys protruding from the hands and damaging the door.

Further, when the vehicle is parked in a place where there is no fear of theft, it is possible to keep the key ring in the vehicle and lock the door. This will eliminate the anxiety of losing keys or trapping them in the trunk, and will provide the lightness of not having a keychain in your pocket.

Further, the case and the cover of the transmitter are fitted with each other, and at the same time, the transmitter itself is attached by a method in which the outer peripheral portion sandwiches the frame-shaped buckle body, so that the whole is thin and small. Can be configured. Conversely, as a transmitter, there is room for a large battery,
It is also possible to sufficiently secure the transmission energy that affects the battery replacement period and the remote operation distance. The buckle is usually made of metal, and when the transmitter is attached to it, it becomes heavy and tends to fall off the pants together with the belt when putting on the pants, but since this is made of thin members, the transmitter is attached But there is no worry.

When the case of the transmitter and the buckle body are fitted to each other, the same usability effect as described above can be obtained even if the cover is sandwiched. Even if the case and the cover of the transmitter are reversed, the same usability effect as described above can be obtained.

Furthermore, if the cover of the transmitter is previously fitted to the buckle body by its own elasticity, the cover presses the fitting portion of the case. Strength can be enhanced, the case has a sense of stability attached to the buckle when the cover is removed for battery replacement, and almost the same usability effect as described above can be obtained.

The case of the transmitter is fixed to the buckle main body in advance, and the cover is fitted to the case.
Almost the same effects as described above can be obtained.

By mounting the transmitter on the front of the buckle, the structure of the buckle and the transmitter can be simplified, and substantially the same usability as described above can be obtained.

By integrally forming the cover and the buckle, which are the components of the transmitter, the number of parts can be reduced and the whole can be reduced, which is advantageous in terms of cost and has a large degree of freedom in terms of design and good appearance. In addition, the same usability effect as described above can be obtained. The same effect can be obtained by forming the case integrally with the buckle instead of the cover.

By providing a belt insertion portion in the transmitter in a substantially independent state, sandwiching a thin member end attached to the transmitter or the belt insertion portion together with the belt end into a buckle, and connecting the buckle to the transmitter, the transmitter is stably held. You. In this case, since the buckle and the transmitter are not integrated, the appearance is inferior to that of the integrated one, but the same effect as above is obtained for the usability, and the set of belt and buckle is a commercially available general-purpose product. There is good point that we can use as it is.
