BELT BU KLE.

Application filed August Q, 1922 Serial No. 579,617.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN HnnnnLiNo, a

citizen of the United States, and resident of Rochester, in the county of'Mon'roe and ii State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Belt Buckles, of which the following is a speciiication. v

The present invention relates to buckles. An object of the .invcntion is to provide clamping means which will have two clamping devices arranged on a single carrier which is adapted to rock and to slide on a buckle frame to clamp a. belt, end against the frame and has the other end of the belt connected thereto in order to bring the two clamping devices into cooperation with the buckle frame, A further object of the invention is to provide a buckle'having two 29 clamping devices with an equalizing connection between them subjected to a tension of the belt. Still another object ofthis invention is to provide a belt buckle with two clamping devices arranged on a single carrier subjected to the tension of the belt, one of saidl clamping devices being rigid with the carrier and the other being movable.

To these and other ends, the invent-ion consists of certain part and combinations of parts, all of which will be hereinafter described: the novel features being pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings: a

Fig. 1 is a face View of a buckle constructed in accordance with this invention;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical section through the buckle showing the manner in which a belt end is clamped;

Fig. 3 is an enlarged section showing the buckle moved to release a belt end; h

Fig. 4 is a perspective view, of the movable clamp carrier; and

' Fig. 5 is a rear View of the buckle in clamping position.

The buckle embodies a buckle frame coinprising, in this instance, a front plate 1 curved transversely and having side flanges 2 formed. in one piece with the front plate. The rear face of this front plate acts as a clamping surface against which the belt end 3 is held. i r

The clamping mean embodies two clamping devices 4: and 5, the clamping devices being arranged, in this instance, on a single.

rigid and on which the clamping device 5 is preferably movably mounted as through the pivot pin 6. In order to give the carrier both a sliding and a rocking action, a pivot pin 7 connects with the side flanges 2 and the carrier is pivotally and slidably mounted on this pin. In this instance, the clamping device 4 and the carrier are formed from one piece, of sheet material, the clamping device being in the form of a flange extending laterally from the portion 8 of the carrier and the carrier having two :arms 9 formed at the edge opposite the device 4e and bent backwardly over the body portion 8 to provide bearings 10 for the pivot pin 6 of the movable clamping device 5. A bar 11 is secured to the inner face of the portion 8 and has the ends of the arms 9 secured thereto to, space said arms from the portion 8 in orderto provide slots 12 through which the pivot pin 7 may extend. These slots permit the pivotal and sliding action hereinbefore mentioned.

For securing the end 13 of the belt to the carrier a loop 14 is provided which preferably is formed rigid with the clamping device 5 so that tension of the belt tends to swing theclamping device 5 to clamping position towards the clamping surface on the rear face of the front plate 1 and also with two clamping devices on the carrier,

both clamping means will engage the belt end 3 and W111 adapt themselves to the thickness of the belt, the amount of shifting and f swinging of the carrieron the pivot Tbeing determined by such thickness. In other words, this carrier acts as an equalizing connection between the tWO clamping devices to hold them with equal pressure against the belt end 3 under the tension imposed upon the carrier by the belt end 3.-

V hat I claim as my invention and desire to secure Letters Patent is:

1. In a beltbuckle, the combination with 'a buckle frame having a clamping surface thereon, and a bar supported on said frame, 7

of clamping means for one end of the belt embodying a slotted carrier through which the bar extends, said carrier having a sliding and rocking motion on the bar and be clamping device to clamping surface/on the buckleframe, said carrier also havingqtwo arms formed atfthe ing provided with two clamping devices arranged on opposite sidesgiofgthe bar and anchoring means for the other end of the belt connected with the carrier.

' 2.;Ina belt buckle, the combination with a buckle frame having.ahclamping surface thereon and a pivot pin supported on said frame, of a carrier formed from one piece of sheet metal and having aeflange extend. ing laterally from one side to provide a cooperate with the opposite side and bent over the, pivot pin to provide bearings and to secure the carrier tioned clamping device is arranged, andmeans connected with said last mentioned member for effectingits movement toward v and from the a clamping surfaces .on .the

buckle frame.
