C. E.- -JONES ET AL BELT BUCKLE Filed July so, 1 24 CLOYD E. JONES AND DAVID J. JONES, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
BELT BUCKLE.
Application filed M13 30, 1324. Serial No. 729,006.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, GLoYD E. Jonas and DAVID J. JoNEs, citizens of the United States, and residents of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvement in Belt Buckles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to buckles for belt straps, or for similar articles.
Generally stated, the object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved construction whereby the buckle is separable to permit the taking off of the belt or other article.
Another object is to provide a novel and improved construction whereby the belt is adjustable on one section of the buckle, the sections interlocking to hold the belt in place, but the two sections being separable to permit the taking off of the belt without adjustment of the belt strap on either section thereof.
It is also an object to provide certain details and features of construction and com binations tending to increase the general efficiency and the desirability of a belt buckle of this particular character.
To the foregoing and other useful ends the invention consists in matters hereinafter set forth and claimed and shown in the accompanying drawings in which- Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a belt buckle embodying the principles of the invention, showing the adjacent portions of the belt strap.
Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on line 22 in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of one section of the separable buckle.
Fig. 4 is a rear elevation of the other section or member of the separable buckle.
As thus illustrated, the invention comprises a flat member 1 having an opening 2 in the center thereof, with a groove 3 on the back of said member leading to said opening. Said opening has upper and lower enlargements l, and at the front of the buckle said opening has an ofiset 5, whereby the opening at the outer side of the buckle has a circular edge 6 as shown. One end of the member 1 has an angle portion 7 provided with a slot 8 formed therein for the loop portion 9 of the belt strap.
The other section of the buckle comprises a disc-like portion 10 for insertion through the opening 2, the enlargements 4 permitting this, said portion 10 being rigidly secured to the bar 11 which fits in the groove 3 when the two sections of the buckle are assembled. The outer end of the bar 11 has a transverse angle portion 12 having a slot 13 therein, through which slot the perforated end portion 14: of the belt is inserted, as shown in Fig. 2. When this is done the end portion 13 is also inserted in the slot 8 in the manner shown. The back of the bar 11 is provided with a hook or prong 15 for engaging the holes 16 in the belt strap. Thus the belt strap is adjustable relatively to the section of the belt buckle comprising the portions 10, 11 and 12, by engaging the hook 15 in any one of said holes.
However, to take off the belt, it is not necessary to unhook the belt strap from the hook 15, as all that is necessary is to turn the bar 11 at an angle until the disclike portion 10 is in position to be withdrawn backward through the opening 2 and the enlargements 4 thereof, it being observed that the diameter of the portion 10 is a little less than the diameter of the circle 6 previously mentioned.
Of course, the belt strap can be adjustably secured to the two sections of the belt buckle,
in any suitable or desired manner, but regardless of this the two sections of the belt buckle are separable to permit the taking off of the belt without the necessity of adjusting the strap relatively to either section of the buckle. To put the belt on, all that is necessary is to insert the disc-like portion 10 through the hole 2, and then swing the bar 11 around into the shallow groove 3 and in this position the two sections are effectively interlocked to hold the belt in place.
It is obvious, of course, that the portions 1 and 10 of the belt can be of any suitable, known or desired form, and that any desired ornamentation or designing may be employed for the belt buckle, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Thus the two sections of the belt buckle interlock when the bar 11 is: brought around llatwise against the back of the other section of the buckle. In this position the groove 3 prevents rotation of the disc 10 on the seat formed by the oflset 5, and keeps the two sections of the buckle in alinement horizontally. The buckle can be made of any suitable metal, or any other suitable material, of course, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What we claim as our invention is 1. A belt buckle comprising two interlocking sections which are parallel when interlocked, adapted to be separated by turning one section at an angle to the other, to take the belt off, the one section being insertable endwise through the other section, so that the end of the one section will protrude from the front of the other section, and the two sections then being foldable into said parallel relation to interlock, the belt being secured to one section, and also adjustably connected to the other section, whereby the belt is removable with the two sections of the buckle in position on ..the opposite end portions of the belt, and whereby the belt is replaceable around the waist by simply inserting the one section endwise through the back and front of the other section, and by then interlocking the two sections of the buckle.
2. A structure as specified in claim 1, one section of the buckle comprising a plate having an opening in the middle thereof, and the other section of the buckle comprising a bar having a portion on the end thereof for insertion through said opening, adapted to interlock the two sections when said bar is brought around fiatwise against the back of the other section of the buckle.
8. A structure as specified in claim 1,
one section of the buckle comprising a plate with an opening at the middle thereof, said opening being of "greater diameter vertically than horizontally, and the other section of the buckle comprising a bar having an enlargement on the end thereof for insertion through said opening, by passing the upper and lower edges of said enlargement through the upper and lower portions of said opening, said enlargement and said opening being relatively formed to interlock the two sections of the buckle when said bar is brought around flatwise against the back of the other section.
4. A structure as specified in claim 1, one section of the buckle comprising a plate with an opening therein, the other section of the buckle comprising means for insertion outwardly through said opening, said last mentioned section having adjustable connection with one portion of the belt strap, whereby the belt may be tightened or loosened.
5. A structure as specified in claim 1, one section of the buckle comprising a member with a hook on the back thereof to engage the perforations on one end of the belt strap, so that this section of the belt is adjustably connected to the belt strap.
Specification signed this 26 day of July 1924.
