BELT BUKLE Fi-led Sept. 14. 1928 INVENTOR ATTORNEY the flanges.
Patented Dec. 10, 1929 .r were BELT BUCKLE1- Application filed September 1928i fierial No. 305,988.
This invention relates to a belt buckle,'the general object of the invention being to provide a buckle which can be easily and quickly attached to a belt without the ends of the belt showing and eliminating the protruding of the buckle and that part of the belt to which it is attached, thus avoiding the unsightly appearance of the front part of the belt and buckle now in use, and a further object of the invention is to make the buckle of arc shape so that it will conform to the lines of the body and increase the attractive appearance of the belt and buckle while in use.
A further object of the invention is to provide adjustable means for pivotally connecting the'belt holding levers with the body of the buckle, which permits the buckle to be used on belts of different thicknesses.
A still further obj ect of the inventionis to i tion and arrangement of the severalparts, to
be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.
In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure l is a view of the blank forming the body of the buckle.
Figure 2 is an inner face view of thebody of the buckle with the side edges bent to form Figure 3 is a View of one of the members or levers. j
Figure 4 is a View of the other member.
Figure 5 is a View showing the buckle in use on a belt.
belt holding body of the buckle, the side edges of which are bent to fo 111 the flanges 2. These flanges have enlarged ends 3 which are each formed with a pair of holes 4: connected together by a slot 5. As shown, thebody is of are shape so that it will conformto the contour ofthe wearer. A member or lever 6 ispivotally 'con-' nectcd with one end of the body and acts to hold one end of the belt A to said body. This member is of angle shape in cross section, with pintles-'7 formed at the junction of the two parts of the member, these pintles engaging either one of each pair of the holes 4 formed at one end of the body so that the member can be adjusted to suit different thicknesses of belts. Aswillbe understood, the aintles can-be moved from one pair of holes to the other by simply positioning the i memberso that the. flat sides of the pintles can pass through the slots 5. V
The short arm of the member is corrugated, as at 8, so that it will form a gripping edge for gripping the belt between itself and the inner face of the body. The other member 6 is of similar shape to the member 6, with the exception that itslong arm-6 is formed with an offset part 9 which not only forms a finger piece for facilitating the movement of the member from operative to inoperative position and vice' versa, but this offset part also acts to engage a part of the trousers B to prevent the buckle and the front part of the belt from moving up over the Waistband of thetrousers, as clearly shown in Figure 7.
As shown in Figure 5, one end of the belt is placed between an end" of the body and the member 6 and then the member is pushed over against the inner face ofv the body to cause its' corrugated edge 8 to grip the belt between itself and the body. This member is used to permanently hold the belt to the buckle as long as said buckle is used with the belt. Then when the belt is to be worn, said belt is passed around the body'in the usual manner and the free end of the belt passed between the member 6 and the inner face of the body, with the free end of the belt passing under the fastened end thereof, as shown in Figure 5, The member 6 is then pressed inwardly so as to grip the belt between itselfand the body after the belt has been properly adjusted around the body of the wearer. As before stated, the projection 9 facilitates the movement of the memberfi into operative and inoperative position and it also acts to engage a part of the trousers to hold the belt and buckleagainst movement relative to the waistband of the trousers.
As will be seen from an inspection of'Figure 5, the ends of the belt are hidden from View and this form of buckle eliminates the bulky appearance. of the belts and buckles new in use; It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.
It is to. be understood that changes may be made. in the Construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.
What I claim is A belt. buckle comprising a body having inwardly extending flanges at its side edges,
7 the body being of are shape, a pair of belt holding levers pivotedto the ends of the flanges, means for adjusting the pivotal points of the levers and an offset part on one'lever for facilitating the movement of the lever and for engaging a part of the trousers to prevent movement of the buckle and the front part of the beltin relation to V the waistbandof the trousers.
' In testimony whereof- I affix my signature.
