BELT BUCKLE,
APPLICATION FILED Nov. I. Iszo.

UNITED STATES SAMUEL BUCHSBAUM, OF CHICAGU, ILLINIS.
BELT-BUCKLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 22, 1921.
Application led November 1, 1920. Serial No. 421,084.
T 0 all 'whom it may concern.'
Be it ,known that I, SAMUEL BL'cHsBAUM, a, citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Belt-Buckles, of which the following is a full, clear, concise, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.
This invention relates to buckles, and more particularly to a one-piece belt buckle of sheet metal without any moving parts.
It is a purpose ofthe invention to construct a belt buckle of sheet metal with a holding prong or tooth formed on the` end thereof opposite that secured to the belt,y f which prong is adapted to engage with any one of a plurality of openings in the free end of the belt to securely hold the same.
It is a further purpose of the invention to provide a one-piece sheet metal buckle, that can be simply and cheaply made, and that has no moving parts, and which at the same time will firmly grip the free end of the flexible member to be secured thereby.
@ther objects and advantages of the invention will appear as the description of the accompanying drawings showing certain forms of my invention, proceeds. I desire, however, to have it distinctly understood that I do not intend to limit myself to the exact details shown therein and described in the specification, but I desire to include as part of my invention, all such obvious changes and modifications as would occur to a person skilledin this art and as would fall within the scope of the claims.
In the drawings:
Figure l is a side elevation of the ends of a belt showing the new and improved buckle associated therewith;
Fig. 2 is an edge view of the belt extremities and buckle associated therewith;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal section thereof on line 3-3 of Fig. 1
Fig. 4. is a perspective view of said buckle;
Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the ends of a. belt showing a slightly modified form of buckle;
Fig. 6 is a perspective View of a further modified form of buckle; and
Fig. 7 is an edge view of a belt showing the buckle shown in Fig. 6 in position thereon.
Referring in detail to the drawings, the
'member 8 is made somewhat wider t-han the end member 7 and is provided with a prong 10 extending inwardly toward the center of the buckle. The prong 10 is bent downwardly from the plane of the buckle as at l1 and then upwardly again as at 12. thus providing a holding tooth or prong that is adapted to engage with an opening 13 in the farce belt extremity 14.
curing means for the other endy portion of the belt, which end port-ion 15 is provided with a loop 16 in which the end member 7 is received. After passing through the buckle. the free end portion 14: of the belt is passed through the loops 17 provided on the end 15 ofthe belt. The overlapped portion 18 of the belt end portion 15 is secured to t-he portion 15 to form the loop 16 in any suitable manner as by the fastener 19.
It will be #een that when the free belt extremity 14 is'passed through the central opening in tire buckle and one of the holes 13 therein is engaged with the holding prong or tongue-ifthat the tension of the belt will tend tohold the prong 10 in the opening 18 and the parts will be held securely in positionwithout the use of any clamping means or other movable parts.
Instead of providing a single prong, a plurality of prongs may be provided as shown on the end member 8 in Fig. 5, the prongs or tongues being designated in this figure by the numeral 10 and are adapted to engage with the openings 13 in the free end of the belt. Instead of providing merely a bar 7 as shown iu Figs. 1 to it aboutwhich the loop on the other end of the belt extends, a bar 7 and a bar 2O may be provided forming a slot 21 between the same for receiving the loop of the belt., this construction having the advantage that the belt end will not tend to tilt or assume a diagonal position relative to the buckle and the buckle will be held straight relative to the belt end at all times.
In the form of the invention just described. the same advantages exist as in the form shown in Figs. 1 to 4 as the buckle is The end portion 7 provides a suitable se -made entirely of one piece ot sheet metal provided with a cross bar 22 near the center thereof, providing an opening 23 between the same and the end member 7". In this form the side members 6 extend at an acute angle in one direction from the end member 8, to `\cross bar 22 and then in the reverse direction to end member 7, so that the cross bar 22 is offset from the members 7v and 8. In assembling this buckle with a belt, the belt end 24 is passed through the opening 23, as at 25, and is then looped around the cross bar 22 at 26, and extended parallel to the belt end 24 and 27, and secured thereto. The prong 10 isthen passed through any one of the openings in the free extremity of the belt 28. It will be noted that the prong in each form extends rearwardly from the buckle in the form of a hook that is adapted to engage a loop ori other member on a garment to which the belt is attached and that the sides 6 and ends and 8 are exposed in front ot the belt. By providing a hook that will engage a loop on a garment with which the belt is worn, the belt is held in proper position and is prevented from slipping relative to the garment.
Having thus described my invention, what I desire to claim and secure by United States Letters Patent is:
l. A buckle comprising a one piece sheet metal body portion provided with a central opening, said body portion comprising side members and end members, the major portion of said side members lying in a plane, and holding means integral with said body portion, said holding means comprising a flat member extending first rearwardly from said plane and then forwardly toward said body portion to form a holding prong having a bend tl1c1ein,.said holding prong projecting rearwardly beyond said plane.
2. A buckle comprising a one piece sheet metal body portion. provided with a central opening, said body portion comprising side members and end member, one of said end members being adapted to have a belt end secured thereto, the major portion of said side members lying in a plane with one of said end members, and holding means integral with said body portion, said holding means comprising a member extending first rearwardly from said plane and then forwardly toward said body portion to form a Hat. holding prong havingl a bend therein,
said holding prong projecting rearwardly beyond said plane.
3. A buckle comprising a one piece sheet metal body portion provided with a central opening, said body portion comprising side members and end members, the major portion of said side members lying in a plane, and holding means integral with said body portion, Asaid holding means comprising a flat member extending first rearwardly from said plane and then forwardly toward said body portion to form a holding prong having a bend therein, said holding prong projet-ting rearwardly beyond said plane and being adapted to engage in any one of a plurality ot' openings inthe free end of said belt and to engage with a loop on a garment witlrwhich said belt is associated to hold said belt in position relative to said garment.
4. A buckle comprising a one piece sheet metal body portion having a belt end receiving slot and a central opening, said body portion comprisingV side members and end members, the major portion of said side members lying in a plane, and holding means integral with said body portion, said holding means comprising a member extending rst rearwardly from said plane and then forwardly toward said body portion to form a flat holding prong having a bend therein, said holding prongprojecting rearwardly beyond said plane.
In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name this 28th day of October A. D..
SAMUEL BUCHSBAUM.
