GARMENT SUPPORTING BELT Filed Nov. 5, 1933 ll 17 14 lu/,enton Marr/!5 .duff/'g Patented June 12, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Clams.
This invention relates to a garment supporting belt and has particular reference to leather belts made of relatively independent strips of material which may be of different qualities or characteristics.
The main object of the invention is to provide a belt end Construction which efiectively resists splittng, that is to say, separating of the component strips of the belt.
Other objects and advantages of the invention Will be understood by reference to the following specification and acccrnpanying drawing in which a belt embodying a selected form of the invention is illustrated.
In the drawing Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a belt;
Fig, 2 is an edgeview showing one step in the Construction of the improved belt;
Fig. 3 is an elevation of the inside or" the strips united in the manner shown in Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is an inside elevation of the end portion of a completed belt embodying the invention; and
Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.
Referring now to the drawing, the belt includes a main body portion 6 having one end suitably rebent to form a loop 7, the rebent portion being secured to the body portion 6 by means of separable snap fasteners 8, 3 or otherwise. A buckle 9 is anchored to the looped belt end, the latter being suitably narrowed as indicated, if desired.
The belt strap 6 is generally made of an outer and an inner strip of material, the outer strip, in high grade belts, having qualities of wear resistance, strength and good appearance, and the inner strip having qualities of smooth finish, softness and others which are particularly desirable on that part of the belt which engages the clothing. The outer strip of the belt is designated 10, and the inner strip 11.
As shown in Fig. 2, the outer and inner strips have end portions 12 and 13 respectively bent inwardly and disposed face-to-face and then united by stitching 14 which extends through the said inwardly bent pcrtions.
As shown in Fig. 3, both or the belt strips 10 and 11 have their end portions tapered to reduced width where they join but the outer strip member 10 is tapered to the greatest eXtent so as to provide the portion of minimum width intermediate the bent end portion 12 and the main body portion thereof. The minimum width of the outer strip is designated 15 and is thus spaced from the joint 14 between the two strips.
The outer strip 10 is adapted to be rebent across its narrowest width 15 so as to dispose the inner strip 11 against the inside of the outer strip, as clearly shown in Fig. 5. In so rebending the strip 10 in the narrow width line 15, there is provided a smooth end 16 which receives all of the hard wear incident to insertion of the strap end into the buckle, and other handling. By the described arrangement, the stitch united ends of the strips are spaced from the end of the strap in such a manner that the joint between the two strip members receives practically no wear or strain which would tend to separate or split the strips from each other.
To give body to the belt, the filler strip 17 of any suitable material may be inclosed between the two strips and the strips may be further united by cementing and by means of stitching designated 18 disposed along the side edges of the belt and extending across the free end thereof adjacent the united ends, as indicated at 19.
The described structure may be characterized as a split proof Construction, in that in ordinary belt Construction, the free end is commonly found to split because of ineffective fastening together thereof, whereas in the described structure, the free end is so formed that the forces normally tending to efiect splitting or separation of the inner and outer strips do not engage the belt adjacent the joint between the strips but at a fold in one of the strips which cannot, of course, permit splitting or separation until the thickness of the outer belt strip is completely worn through. In ordinary practice, such a condition is never reached.
The belt above described may be made of leather strips or strips of other kinds of material, or of combinations of leather and other materials, etc., and changes may be made in the structure without departing from the spirit of the in- Vention, the scope of which should be determined by reference to the following claims, the same being construed as broadly as possible consistent with the state of the art.
I claim:
1. In a belt of the class described, the combination of inner and outer belt strips united to each other, said strips having end portions rebent inwardly and the rebent portion of said outer strip projecting beyond the rebent portion of the inner strip, said rebent portions being united by stitching which is substantially concealed between said strips.
2. In a belt of the class described, the combination of inner and outer belt strips united to each other, said strips having end portons rebent inwardly and the rebent portion of said outer strip projecting beyond the rebent portion of the inner strip, said rebent portions being united by stitching which is substantially concealed between said strips, and stitching uniting said inner and outer strips adjacent their longitudinal side edges and extending transversely adjacent the united ends of the strips.
