BELT BUCKLE.
Application led February 4, 1926. Serial 'NonY 85,901.
This invention relates to .,beltiubuckles, and is intended to provide a construction for the buckle body by which a front or eseutcheon Y plate of precious metal maybe secured vention comprises, generally speaking, av
buckle body embracing front and rearwardly projecting side members, the front being slightly depressed or countersunk from end to end, leaving slightly4 raised shoulders or ledges at its opposite side, and an escutcheon plate bearing the ornamental design or front mechanically interlocked with the end edges of the body and dimensioned to fit between andl'ie substantially ilush with the retaining edges of the sides. This and other features of the invention will be described hereinafter and vdefined in the annexed claim.
' In the accompanying drawings IV have illustrated a construction embodying the principles of this invention, in which:
Figure 1` is a front view of the complete buckle body constructed in accordance with thisinventioii. v
Figure@ is front view of the body mem'- ber itself before the escutcheon plate and its backingsheet is applied thereto; Y i
' Figure-3 is a` longitudinal section on plane 3 3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a central cross sectionv on plane 4-4 of Figure 1. Y j
` Figure 5 isa view of the rear or back face of the escutcheon plate showing how v,contrasting backing sheets are applied thereto.
, Figure 6 isa perspective of an unperforated front plate having an embossed or en` graved pattern.
,In the practice of this invention, accord ingV to the forni illustrated in the drawings,
I employ' a buckle body comprising a front," Y
V escutcheon plate, after it has .been applied with its .backing to* the buckle, is keptin member .1, and inwardly turned side ineinbers orflanges 8, n liicliareusua'lly formed with inturned'strap-guiding extensions 4.,r
f The front member, for the greater partlof its areaand from one end to the other is depressed slightly to leave opposite side shoulsv ders 2, thus forming'a shallowrecess for the reception of the escutcheon in Figure 4'.
metal., such Vforexample as` sterling silver, and is punchedA out -or perforatedin any form of patternor design that may lbe se-V plate, asbest seenv The escutcheon'plate 5 is made `-ofthin lected. The width of the escutcheon plate froinone side edge to the other corresponds to the width of thespace between the. ledges or shoulders 2 of the body member, while the length( and by length is meant the direction in which the belt passesr through thebuckle) is somewhat greater than the lengthY of the front part of the body member.
A s will be noted in'Fig'ure 2*, the slio'l'- dered portions 2 of the front member are slightlylongertlian the distance Vbetween the end" edges `of the depressed portion` of the buckle so as to leave slight end shoulders 2a. 'f
' Before the escutcheon plate is applied and secured to the body member a backing, of
thin tiexiblesheet material, such as Celluloid of any desired color or shade, is appliedto the back-face of the escutcheon plate, as shown in Figure 5, and when it is desired to have a middle initial or design of contrasting appearance the central portion of the backing sheetl 6 is (out out to yallow the application of smaller backing sheet 7 of contrasting appearance.Y The backing pieces or sheets are preferably cemented tov the back .of the escutcheon plate with their back surfaces iiush with each other. n
As shown inV Figure 4, the backing sheet may V have* its exposed portion, seen through y'the perforations in the escutcheon plate, forced into the perforations of the escutcheon plate softhat this portion of the backing lies sustantially iiush with the exterior surface of the escutcheon plate, in this way giving 'all the effect ofinlay work but at greatly reduced cost since the Celluloid', while iii a partly plasticv condition, may be forced into the yopeningsin the escutcheon plate by ay suit-ably formed die at very little expense Aas contrasted withthe expense of inlay with enamel. c l
The opposite end edge portions a'of the .locking lips v5a may be partly formed when theescutcheon plate'is blanked out, Vand. in
These attaching or inter 110 Y that case only a slight crimping of one edge is necessary to securely lock the escutcheon plate to the front plate, While sidewise removal is prevented by the ledges or shoulders 2 and 2".
The projection oit' the shoulders 2 and 2 is preferably `iust suttieient to equal the thickness of the escutcheon plate with its backing so that the finished buckle body presents a smooth and flush surface and periphery.
Since the belt-attaching bail :terms no part of the present invention l have merelyr indicated in dotted lines, in Figure 3, the position which it would normally assume.
The outward pressing,r et those portions of either backing sheet subtendingw the per orations in the eseutcheon plate acroniplishes two purposes, namely, such portions tend to prevent any displacement ot the backing sheets, and furthermore by being; pressed out-Ward to a substantially Hush `position they render the ornai'nentation more conspicuous besidegivingthe eileet of inlay. Y
` When it is not desired to `produce theelleet of an enamel inlaid pattern the backing sheet will, of course$ be omitted and the ornamental front plate of precious metal with lits engraved embossed pattern, as illus traled in Figure G, will be applied directly to the buckle body in precisely the same manne as before described, that is, by l1ook ing one ot the flanges 5 o'l" the impertorate plate 5", around one end edge of the buckle body and crimping down the opposite flange to interlock with the opposite end edge of the body Without the interposition of the enamel backing.
lllhat l. claim is; i A buckle body embracingr in its construen tion a l'ront ineinber and rearwardly turned side n'ieinhers, the trout nieinbec being' crmntersunlr troni one end edge to the other to leave slightly projecting side ledges, and a eparate eseuteheon plate provided at its end edges with inwardly bent lips to inten loelc with the end edges of the buckle body, the eseuteheon plate being dimensioned to lie between and engage the side .ledges ot the buelrle body.
ln witness whereo't' l" have above specilicz'ttion.
