in anat eenitien 'et/er the frame. The frame is land claims lwhen eehsidered :fin Aconnection 'with fs `maths (w24-*ism The belt-securing portion is positioned below the pivot so as to cause the tongue portion to be moved toward the belt end II upon a longitudinal pull on belt end I2 in a direction away from the buckle. As herein illustrated this is accomplished by extending the rear ends of bars I4 through the passages 2@ and bending them into eyes I4 so as to interlock with the lower walls of the Dassages to form the pivots about which the tongue member moves. l
Either the frame member or the tongue member may be provided with means for interlocking with apertures 25 in the end II of the belt to hold the same in adjusted position when the frame member and tongue member are in engagement with the end Il of the belt. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the tongue portion 22, 22a terminates adjacent the portion I5 of the frame member and has a tooth 26, 26a projecting from the end in the direction of the frame member. In Fig. 5 the portion I5 has a tooth 2Gb projecting upwardly therefrom and the tongue portion 22h extends over the end of the tooth.
In operation, the end I2 of the belt is secured to the tongue member. The end II is passed over the frame member and through the passage. As the end II is so positioned a pull on the end I2 away from the buckle Will cause the tongue portion to move the tooth 26 into an aperture in the belt as shown in Fig. 1. In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 5, the pressure of tongue p0rtion 22h on the top of the belt will cause tooth 2Gb to enter the aperture in the belt and will prevent the belt from disengaging the tooth.
In all forms of the invention the end of the belt will be flat in the buckle as shown in Fig. l. This, together with the relation of the tongue member to the frame member, will produce an attractive and pleasing appearance.
Since the parts of the buckle can be easily formed of wire stock or sheet metal and readily assembled, a reasonable cost of manufacture is provided.
Variations and modifications may be made Within the scope of this invention and portions of the improvements may be used without others.
I claim:
