Similar characters of reference are employed When it is desired to adjust the belt with respect in said views, to indicate corresponding parts. to the buckle, i. e. to vary the effective length of Referring now to the said drawing, the referthe .belt, it is merely necessary to pull the lower ence numeral I designates the free end portion or free end of bar l3 forwardly, thereby causing 55 catch lip I! to disengage catch projection I8, whereupon the bar 13 may be turned upwardly as shown in Figs. 4 and 6. The belt end portion I may now be readily pulled forwardly somewlo at, causing the same to disengage stud 8, whereupon the belt may be easily adjusted or moved longitudinally with respect to the buckle. During this adjustment of the belt, the fixed bar or member l2 serves to retain the belt end portion I within the buckle channel i. e. in assembled relation with respect to the buckle, so that after the effective length of the belt has been adjusted as desired, it is merely necessary to move the belt end portion I inwardly to cause stud 8 to engage in one of the sockets 9.

It will be apparent that the retaining bar It may be of various shapes or dimensions. For example, the same may be of ring or oval shape as for ornamental purposes and may even be of such width as to overlap the stud 3, thereby positively insuring the retention of the belt in place.
As many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, as defined by the following claims, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
I claim:'-
1. A buckle of the character described for use with belts and the like, comprising a channel shaped body providing a receiving recess for the free end portion of a belt and having means at one end thereof for attachably receiving the fixed end portion of the belt, a retaining bar fixed to the other end portion of said body in overlying relation to said recess for retaining the free end portion of the belt in assembled relation with the buckle, a stud projecting from said body within said recess, the height of said stud being less than the thickness of the belt used with the buckle for cooperating with sockets in the rear surface of the belt, a second and similar retaining bar spaced from said first named retaining bar, said second retaining bar being hingedly connected to said buckle body and arranged to cooperate with said first retaining bar to retain the belt within said recess and in engagement with said stud, said second retaining bar being turnable away from said recess to enable the disengagement of said belt from said stud as when varying the effective length of the belt, the unapertured portion of the belt extending between said retaining bars being exposed in use, thereby giving the buckle a highly attractive appearance.
2. A buckle of the character described for use with belts and the like, comprising a channel shaped body providing a receiving recess for the free end portion of a belt and having means at one end thereof for attachably receiving the fixed end portion of the belt, a relatively narrow retaining bar fixed to the other end portion of said body in directly overlying relation to said recess for retaining the free end portion of the belt in assembled relation with the buckle, a stud projecting from said body within said recess for cooperating with sockets provided in the rear surface of the belt, a second and similar retaining bar spaced substantially the full length of the buckle from said first named retaining bar, said second retaining bar being hingedly connected to said buckle body at one side of said recess and having a catch lip at its free end, said body having a catch projection at the other side of said recess for cooperating with said catch lip to cause said second retaining bar to cooperate with said first retaining bar to hold the belt within said recess and in engagement with said stud, the run of the belt between said retaining bars being exposed to view, said second retaining bar being turnable outwardly of said recess thereby enabling the disengagement of the belt from said stud.
