Accordingly, the engaging hole 311 is expanded and enlarged, and more particularly, the wider the band 31 , the more unstable the prong 322 is and the easier the prong is enlarged. Moreover, as the engaging hole 311 is enlarged, the connection of the belt buckle 32 and the band 31 gets more unstable and the prong 322 swings in the engaging hole 311 more easily. Thus, the engaging hole 311 is continuously enlarged as in a vicious circle.

Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a belt and a belt buckle thereof, and more particularly to a belt buckle that can stably connect two ends of a belt.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art(s)
- With reference to
FIG. 7 , a conventional belt includes aband 31 and abelt buckle 32. Theband 31 has multipleengaging holes 311. Theengaging holes 311 are formed on an end of theband 31 and are aligned along an elongation axis of theband 31. Thebelt buckle 32 is mounted on another end of theband 31 and includes aframe 321 and aprong 322. An end of theprong 322 is pivotally connected to theframe 321. With theprong 322 protruding through one of theengaging holes 311 of theband 31, theband 31 can be formed as a circle and worn around a waist of a user. - However, since the
belt buckle 32 is connected to theband 31 with only oneprong 322 mounted through oneengaging hole 311 of theband 31, a connection of thebelt buckle 32 and theband 31 is unstable, causing theprong 322 to swing in theengaging hole 311 and rub against an edge around theengaging hole 311. Accordingly, theengaging hole 311 is expanded and enlarged, and more particularly, the wider theband 31, the more unstable theprong 322 is and the easier the prong is enlarged. Moreover, as theengaging hole 311 is enlarged, the connection of thebelt buckle 32 and theband 31 gets more unstable and the prong 322 swings in theengaging hole 311 more easily. Thus, theengaging hole 311 is continuously enlarged as in a vicious circle. - A conventional way to stop the vicious circle of enlarging the
engaging holes 311 is to enhance the edges around theengaging holes 311 with metal rings mounted on the edges. Nevertheless, although theengaging holes 311 would no longer be enlarged as the metal rings are mounted on the edges around theengaging holes 311, the connection of thebelt buckle 32 and theband 31 is still unstable and the prong 322 still swings in theengaging holes 311. Furthermore, mounting the metal rings on the edges around theengaging holes 311 is time consuming and laborious. - To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a belt and a belt buckle of the belt to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
- The main objective of the present invention is to provide a belt and a buckle. The belt has a band and the belt buckle. An end of the band has multiple hole sets formed thereon. The belt buckle is mounted on another end of the band and has a frame and a buckling element. An end of the buckling element is formed as at least one pivot bar pivotally connected to the frame. Another end of the buckling element is formed as multiple prongs selectively mounted respectively through engaging holes of one of the hole sets.
- With the multiple prongs of the buckling element mounted through the engaging holes of the band at the same time, the buckling element and the band can be stably connected with each other. The prongs of the buckling element do not rub against edges around the engaging holes, so the engaging holes are not enlarged. Moreover, the multiple prongs can be integrally formed on the buckling element. Thus, no additional manufacturing process is needed. Accordingly, the belt and the belt buckle of the belt are practical and convenient for manufacturing.
- Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 7 is an enlarged front view of a conventional belt in accordance with the prior art. - With reference to
FIG. 1 , in a first preferred embodiment, a belt in accordance with the present invention comprises aband 10 and abelt buckle 20. - The
band 10 is elongated and has afirst end 101, asecond end 102, an elongation axis, a shortening axis, and multiple hole sets 11. Thesecond end 102 is disposed opposite to thefirst end 101. The elongation axis extends through thefirst end 101 and thesecond end 102 of theband 10. The shortening axis is perpendicular to the elongation axis. Thehole sets 11 are formed adjacent to thefirst end 101 of theband 10 and are separately aligned along the elongation axis of theband 10. Each of thehole sets 11 has multipleengaging holes 111. Theengaging holes 111 of eachhole set 11 are aligned along the shortening axis of theband 10. - The
belt buckle 20 is mounted on thesecond end 102 of theband 10 and has aframe 21 and abuckling element 22. Theframe 21 has a connectingportion 211 and anabutting portion 212. The connectingportion 211 is connected to thesecond end 102 of theband 10. The abuttingportion 212 is disposed opposite to the connectingportion 211. Thebuckling element 22 is pivotally connected to theframe 21 and has two opposite end portions, at least onepivot bar 221,multiple prongs 222, and a connectingbar 223. The at least onepivot bar 221 is formed on one of the end portions of thebuckling element 22 and is pivotally connected to the connectingportion 211 of theframe 21. Theprongs 222 are formed on the other end portion of thebuckling element 22, are selectively mounted respectively through theengaging holes 111 of one of thehole sets 11, and selectively abut on theabutting portion 212 of theframe 21. The connectingbar 223 is mounted between and connects the at least onepivot bar 221 and theprongs 222, such that theprongs 222 can be mounted through theengaging holes 111 of one of the hole sets 11 of theband 10 at the same time. - When in use, the
first end 101 of theband 10 is mounted through theframe 21 first. Then theprongs 222 of thebuckling element 22 are respectively mounted through theengaging holes 111 of one of thehole sets 11 of theband 10 and abut on theabutting portion 212 of theframe 21, such that theband 10 is formed as a circle. - Alternatively, the
engaging holes 111 of each hole set 11 may include multiple through holes that are formed through theband 10 and multiple blind holes that are formed un-through theband 10. The through holes allowcorresponding prongs 222 to be mounted through the through hole. The blind holes allowcorresponding prongs 222 to engage in the blind hole. - Alternatively, the
prongs 222 of thebuckling element 22 may have at least two different diameters. Correspondingly, theengaging holes 111 of each hole set 11 have at least two different diameters. The diameter of eachengaging hole 111 of each hole set 11 corresponds in length to a corresponding one of theprongs 222. Thus, theprongs 222 that have larger diameters and are mounted in the engagingholes 111 with larger diameters form a main positioning effect. Theprongs 222 that have smaller diameters and are mounted in the engagingholes 111 with smaller diameters form an auxiliary positioning effect. - With the
multiple prongs 222 of the bucklingelement 22 mounted through the engagingholes 111 of theband 10 at the same time, the bucklingelement 22 and theband 10 can be stably connected with each other. The bucklingelement 22 does not swing relative to theband 10, and theprongs 222 of the bucklingelement 22 do not rub against edges around the engagingholes 111, such that the engagingholes 111 are not enlarged. Moreover, the bucklingelement 22 with themultiple prongs 222 can be formed integrally when manufactured. Thus, no additional manufacturing process is needed. Accordingly, the belt and the belt buckle of the belt are practical and convenient for manufacturing. - As shown in

band 10B has three engagingholes 111B. Relative positions of the engagingholes 111B correspond to relative positions of the distal ends of theprongs 222B, such that the distal ends of theprongs 222B can be respectively mounted through the engagingholes 111B of each hole set 11B and abut on the abuttingportion 212B of theframe 21B. The connectingbar 223B is disposed between thepivot bar 221B and theprongs 222B, such that theprongs 222B of the buckling element 22B can be respectively mounted through the engagingholes 111B of theband 10B at the same time. - In the second and third preferred embodiments as described, with the abutting
portion frame prongs element 22A, 22B have at least two different lengths. Accordingly, the belts and the belt buckles can be designed to have variant appearances. - With further reference to
