BELT BUCKLE.
Application led July 22, 1922. Serial No. 576,700.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ERNEST MONAHAN, a citizen of the-United States, and resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Belt Buckles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description' thereof.
The invention relates to buckles for belts. It comprises a pair of side members, three pins extending therebetween affording a means of adjustably retaining one end ofthe belt, a plate rotatable on a pivot and provided with an arm adapted to cooperate vwith a loop on one end of the belt to maintain the belt in flat closed position, and an arm rigid with the pivot for holding the belt in proper position. i
The primary object of the invention is the provision of means permitting nicety of adjustment of one end of the belt and the retention of this end securely in adjusted position. This permits the belt to be removed and again fastened in securing position without any alteration being made in the length, Thus to make the belt operative, it is merely necessary to insert a loop in the buckle.
The retaining and adjusting means for one end, of the belt does not necessitate the provision of holes in the ends of the belt and a greater nicety of adjustment is attainable than that resulting from a structure wherein space holes are the adjusting means. Any degree of adjust-ment is attainable.
An object of the invention is the provision of such structure as will vlie perfectly flat, the buckle being shallow, neither end of the -belt being visible nor hanging loose in an unsightly manner.
An object is the provision of means for retaining the front plate securely, despite tension and adverse conditions of wear.
With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, my invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts substantially as hereinafter described and more particularly defined by the appended claim, it being understood that such changes in the precise embodiment of the herein disclosedinvention may be made as come within the scope of the claim.
In the accompanying drawing, I have illustrated one complete example of the phys- No further adjustment is necessary'.v
' jacent ical embodiment of the present invention constructed' according to the best mode I have so far devised for the practical application of the principles thereof, and in which:
Figure 1 is a sectional view through the belt in o erative 1--1 of igure 3.
Figure 2 is a plan view.' l Figure 3 is a rear inside elevation. Figure 4 is a section on the line L1 -4 of Fi re 2.
igure 5 is a section on the line 5-5 of Figure 1. The buckle comprises ilar side pieces 10-10 secured together by parallel pins 11, 12, and 13, which terminate position, taken on the line,
a pair of spaced, simi in the side pieces. Pin 12 is inwardwith respect to a straight line connecting pins 11 and 13, one end of belt 14 being adaptedto be securely retained by the pins. Inv vretained position the belt extends over pin 13, is laterally deiected inwardly over -pin 12, is again directed outwardly and again inwardly over pin 11, from which it stretches inwardly of pin 12, contacting with theportion already in contact with pin 12. Its end is in contact with pin 13.
It will be apparent that tensioningl belt 14 develops friction on the tworportions of the end of the belt adj acent pin 1 3 and friction adjacent pin 12. The friction is such as to retain the belt securely in adjusted position. 'lhe end of the belt is formed into a taper 15, which is concealed behind the outer stretch. The side pieces 10-10' are cut away to form a pair of goose necks 16-16 outwardly directed and rigid with a pivot17- on the ends of which ianges 18--18 of curved plate 19 are rotatable.
The end 20 of the belt is .folded to form an eye retaining a .loop 21. -In aiiixing the loop to the buckle, plate .19 is extended therethrough and the loop is brought into- The engagement with the necks 16-16. flanges 18-18 are inwardly extended adin 17 and are adapted to be acted on by oo fiat close tension on loop 2L is such as tocause the loop contacting withthe arm inwardly of pin 17 to maintain thei'plate 19 closed.
To further secure the plate in closed position, deformations 22-22 in flanges 18`-18 aiy 21 to maintain the plate 19 in position. In other words, the.
are provided, adapted to receive outwardly struckprojections 23-23' on side pieces 10-10. The retaining means are such,
therefore, as to securely maintain plate 19 'in closed position.
lt is apparent that in using the device, one end of the belt is brought to a proper adjustment on pins 11, 12, and 13, and subsequently the securing of the belt necessitates merely the insertion of plate 19 through loo 2-1, and its movement to closed position. ence for each operation of securing the buckle, there need be no special adjustment of the belt. As there is no need for adjustment, the securing is conveniently accomplished.
An arm 2,4 is rigid with pin 17 and eX- tends therefrom to a point directly under the center of the plate 19. The length of the arm may be varied. It is adapted'to cooperate with a loop or `button yon the trousers to prevent upward displacementof the buckle.
As plate 19 extends over pins 11--12 and 13, and the buckle is flat, the appearance of the device is quite pleasing. rl`he projections on the side pieces and the indentations on, the flanges of the buckle cooperate with `the loop 21 to maintain the buckle secure in operative position. The shape of goose necks 16-16 is such that indentations 24 are produced adjacent'pivot 1'7'.` These indentations rece-ive the loop 21 and tend to prevent outward movement thereof.
To permit outward movement of plate 19, it would therefore be necessary `that loop 21 be moved to the right, looking at Figure 1. This motion is, of course, contrary to the tendency of the belt resulting from the tension thereof. It is apparent therefore that the tension of the, belt acts to maintain the plate 19 in closed position.
In a device of the class described, the
combination of a pair of side members,y
means thereon for retainingthe end of a belt, a pivot connecting said members, a plate, flanges on said plate rotatable on said pivot, said flanges extending inwardly of sald pivot, a loop secured to the other end of said belt, said side pieces having vindentations therein adjacent said pivot to receive said loop and prevent outward movement thereof, said loop operating in said indentations to prevent movement of said flanges,
whereby said plate isfmaintained in closed position.
ln testimony that l claim the foregoing l have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin.
ERNEST MONAHAN.
