BELT CLASP.
Application filed September 14, 1925.
This invention relates to belt clasps, and more particularly to a device of the clamping type wherein there provided a pivoted clamping rneniber to tightly grip and clamp the belt end against the front plate of the clasp.
lt is the primary object and purpose of the present imijn'ovenients to provide a supporting element n'iounted for relative swinging movement on the pintle of the pivoted clamping nieinber and adapted for engage nient through a loop on one front edge of the trouser so as to sufsitain the saine against sagging relative to the ruulerlying edge por tion of the trousers. i
llt is another object of the invention to provide an improvement in belt clasps olt the above character which is exceedingly simple and will not, therefore, materially add to the manufacturing cost of such devices.
llilith the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the improved belt elasp, and in the form, construction and rela tive arrangement; of its several parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated Vin the accompanying drawings, and subsequently incorporated in the subjoined claims.
ln the drawings, wherein l have illustrated one simple and practical embodiment of the invention, and in which similar reference characters designate eorresponding` parts throughout theseveral views,-
Figure l is a front elevation showing my improved belt clasp as applied in'use;
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section talen on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the clasp.
Referring in detail to the illustrated ein-- bodirnent of the device, the front or :face plate is preferably of concave-convert forni and may be of any desired size and shape. Un its opposite side edges, this plate provided with rearwardly projecting lateral llanges 6, each of which is formed with an iuturned longitudinally tapering flange 7 spaced from the inner side oil' the face plate and providing guiding and retaining means for the belt end. ln lugs, oars or other suitable means indicated at 8 provided on the widely spaced ends of the flanges 7 the ends of a pintle 9 are fixed. A loop l0 is provided witli spaced lugs il. loosely engaged upon said pin lle, and to said loop, one end ol. the belt is suitably attached..
Serial No. 56,104.
The claniliing member 12.) is in the form of an elongated plate extending trai'isversely of the clasp and having a serrated face for engagement with the inner surface of the free end of the belt as clearly shown in Fig. 9, of the drawings. This clamping member is foii'nied with a central lug ll which is loosely engaged upon the pintle 9 between the lugs ll of the loop lO. The clasp construction as thus fa r described is well known in the art and constitutes no essential part of my present improvements, and it will be understood that the form, construction and mounting of the front or face plate and the loop l and clamping member 13 might be variously modified.
The novel feat'lnfe of my improvements consists in the provision of a supporting element l which in the present instance is illustrated in the form of a hook constructed from a length of wire having its end portions spaced apart as at 1G and terminating in eyes loosely swiveled on the pintle 9 between the lug lll of the clan'iping member and the ll'lgs ll of the loop l() so that said element may freely swing or turn on the pintle relative to said loop and clamping men'iber. The hook bill 17 formed in the intermediate portion of said wire is laterally directed, and will be noted from reference to Figs. l and 3 of the drawing, this hook bill limits the swinging movement of the element l in one direction by contact upon one of the belt guiding flanges 7 of the clasp plate so that said hook bill cannot move inwardlyof said flanges and against the inner face of the plate. The supporting element includes an intermediate portion 2O of a length sub stantially equal to the width of Vthe loop 19 on the trousers, and two laterally projecting portions 2l and 223 extending substantially at right angles from the intermediate por tion. This construction of the supportiig` element operates to prevent relative shifting of the supporting element and the loop if) when the device is applied. Preferably the part 2l extends at a slightly acute anglefroin the iiiterrnediate part 22() to more ell'ectively retain the supporting element in connection with the loop 19 and prevent the casual disengagement of said loop from the hook bill i7.
In the use of the device as above described, the belt is passed through the usual straps or loops 18 on the upper edge of the trousers and the clasp positioned. upon the overlap lill] ping front edges of the trousers. The outermost front edge portion of the trousers is provided with a relatively small loop 19 thereon and through this loop the hook bill 17 of the supporting element 15 is inserted, said hook bill projecting upwardly as seen in Fig. 1 ofthe drawings. The .free end of the belt ist-hen passed Vbetween the front plate of the clasp and the guide flanges 7 thereon and between said plate and the clamping member 13 and `its extremity inserted through one of the straps or loops 18 on the trousers and said free end of the beltpulled so thatthe pivoted clamping member 13 will exert Va gripping pressure thereon in the usual manner and tightly clamp the belt end against the inner side ofthe front or face plate 5, t will thus be seen that in addition to supporting the trousers by circumferential constricting ,pressure of the belt, the supporting hook l5 engaged through the loop 19 sustains the o\i*erlapping front portions ot the trousers against ginger buckling so that these overlapping edges will 'not present a disorderly appearance to the dress of the wearer.
From kthe foregoing description considered in connection Vwith the accompanying drawing, the construction of my present invention as well as the several advantages thereof will be clearly and fully understood. It will be seen thatl I havelv devised a very simple improvement in such belt clasps which will materially increase the utility thereof. Since the construction of the trousers supporting or sustaining element is exceedingly simple and maybe readily applied to such belt clasps as heretofore manufactured, it will be appreciated that my improvement will not materially add to the manufacturing or selling cost of the article. W'hile I have referred to this supporting element as formed from a length of wire,'
i it will nevertheless, be understood that the same advantages may be obtained by constructing this element of other materials and in various other forms than that illustrated in the drawing. It is, therefore, to be realices understood that I reserve the privilege of resorting to all suchlegitimate changes in the construction of the device as may be fairly embodied within the spirit and scope of the invention as elaimed.
I claim:
1. A belt clasp comprising a front, plate having belt guiding flanges projecting in wardly in spaced relation to the rear side ot said plate, a belt attaching loop and a belt Clamping member pivotally supported by said flanges, and a supporting element pivot-- ally mounted at one of its ends i'or swinging movement independently of said loop and the clamping member and terminating at its other end in a hook adapted for insertion through a loop on the trousers or other arlicle of wearing apparel. and said hook projecting over one of said flanges and limited thereby in its ravinging movement towards the rear side oll said trout plate. .said supporting element having spaced parts disposed substantially parallel lo said pintle and between which the. trousers loop is engaged with said element and whereby raid loop and the supporting element are prevented lrom shifting relative to each other longitudinally of thel clasp.
2, A belt clasp coniprsing a front plate having a fixed pintle mounted on the rear side thereof adjacent one end ot the plate. a belt attaching loop and a belt clamping member pivoted on said Vinile l'or indipendent swinging movement, a, trousers snpporting element swiveled on the pintle ,toeswinging movement independently of the loop and the clamping member and adapted to be engaged through a loop on the trousers to support the same against sagging. and stop means limiting the swinging movement of said supporting element to a position in spaced relation to the rear side ot said plate for convenient engagement through the loop on the trousers.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name hereto.
