BUCKLE.
Application filed March 19, 1925.
This invention relates to buckles of that type commonly used for belts for personal wear and its object is to provide a novel construction of gripping member whereby the free end portion of the belt will be securely held and belts of various thickness will be accommodated. The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing and Will be hereinafter first fully described and then particularly defined in the claim.
In the drawing,-
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a buckle embodying my invention,
Figure 2 is a rear elevation of the buckle.
Figure 3 is a detail perspective of the gripping member, and
Figure 4t is a detail perspective of the anchoring' member.
The body member of the buckle comprises a front plate 1 having side iianges 2 which, near one end, are formed with inturned lips or lugs 3 constituting guides for introducing the free end of the belt and preventing the body member of the buckle from swinging away from the line of the belt.
Beyond the inner ends of the lips 3, the flanges are formed with ears or extensions et having openings or seats in which studs or trunnions 5 on the gripping member are engaged for rocking movement. The gripping member may be formed from sheet metal and comprises a fulcral plate 6A the width of which is substantially equal to the distance between the flanges 2, the trun-v nions or studs 5 being formed to project from the side edges of the plate immediately adjacent the lip 7 which is formed by bending one end of the plate substantially at a right angle and extends toward the front plate and the belt body to bind the free end portion of the belt against the front plate. The fulcral plate is offset transversely, as at 8, between its ends, and the portion of the plate between the oset and the end more remote from the trunnions is arranged at an obtuse angle to the portion carrying the trunnions. The gripping plate 9 is carried upon the front face of the fulcral plate and .is shown as being formed integral therewith by doubling the blank upon itself, as at 10. The gripping plate rests flat against the relatively in'clined portion of the fulcral plate and projects beyond the offset 8 so that the enner end portion of the plate is free and Serial No. 16,797.
ina-y yield to a thick belt without releasing the same. The` free end of the gripping plate is bent forwardly toy form a gripping lip 11 adapted to clamp the belt against the front plate of the buckle body.
The fixed end of the belt may be anchored in any appro-ved manner. I have shown the gripping member as provided with rearwardly projecting lugs or ears 1Q to pivotally receive trunnions 13 on the side edges of an anchoring clamp 14 which is essentially an angle lever of plate form havino' spurs or teeth 15 along one edge to penetrate the end of the belt disposed against the rear face of the fulcral plate. The power arm of the lever is adapted to extend over and bear upon the inner portion of the gripping member, and it is provided with a tongue or finger piece 16 to facilitate release of the belt when a change of belts is desired.
It will be readily seen from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing that I have provided a very simple inexpensive but eflicient buckle whereby a belt will be securely held and thin and thick belts, within reasonable limits, will be secured alike. The provision of binding lips upon both the fulcral and the gripping plates effects engagement with the belt at two points so that the clamping force is exerted over a somewhat extended area of the belt, and the peculiar form of the gripping member imparts thereto spring qualities without any loss of strength. The gripping lip is spaced laterally from the fulcral axis so that after a belt is engaged, any tendency of the belt to move out of the buckle will draw the lip toward a position directly between the axis and the front plate so as to more firmly bind the belt.
It will be understood that to secure the free end of the belt, the gripping member is swung rearwardly so that the gripping lips will extend substantially parallel with the buckle front plate, leaving a clear space for the insertion of the belt. After the belt is inserted, the gripping member is swung` forwardly causing the gripping lips to bind thebelt against the front plate and securely hold it against withdrawal until such time as the gripping member is again swung rearwardly.
Having fully described my invention what lUO Amounted upon the body and having a beltgrpping lip adjacent and at one side ofthe tulcral axis and a transverse oilset adjacent and at the opposite side of the fuleral axis,
the ofl'set being` inclined away from the body and the portion of the plate at the side of the ol'set more remote from the axis being free and relatively inclined to closely follow the conformation of the body, a gripping plate carried by and resting Closeagainst the front face of the inclined portion of the fulcral plate and extending beyond said in- Clined portion whereby todeiine a free end portion` terminating between: the offset and the fulcral axis and having a forwardly pro- 'ectino' Orio aine' lio and a clam Qin(r lever y l n c il o l: l. z: the portion of the plate between the lip and pivotally mounted on the rear side of the ,y fulcral plate.
