United States Patent 0 ADJUSTABLE BELT Charles B. Gainsburgh, Merrick, N. Y.
Application August 15, 1952, Serial No. 304,560
1 Claim. (Cl. 2-321) This invention relates to new and useful improvements in adjustable belts and has for its object the provision of a simple, efficient, and easily adjustable belt which can be made economically, and can be quickly and easily adjusted for a wide variety of sizes and thus make unnecessary the carrying in stock of the Storekeeper of a wide variety of belt sizes.
Briefly, the belt comprises two pieces which are joined together at the front with the usual buckle fastening means, each piece passing around to the side and rear and overlapping the other. Spaced apertures or slots in each piece along the rear portion can be aligned and a flexible strap or connector can be passed through the aligned spaced openings to hold the overlapped portions together.
The preferred form of the invention is illustrated in the drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the belt.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the belt, in one adjusted position.
Fig. 4 is a similar view with the belt shown in another adjusted position.
Fig. 5 is a partial horizontal cross section through the overlapped rear portions of the belt, showing the spaced holes for ready adjustment of the belt within a wide range of sizes.
Referring now merely to the specific form of the invention shown in the drawings, it will be noted that the belt which is of the toy, cowboy variety, is made in two main portions 10 and 11, connected at adjacent front ends by the usual buckle arrangement designated by the letter A. These portions are adapted to extend around the sides of the wearer and to extend around the back and overlap along their rear end portions indicated at 10' and 11.
"ice
These overlapped rear end portions are provided each with a series of spaced openings or slots 12.
These slots can be aligned by increasing or decreasing the amount of overlap of the two portions 10' and 11 so as to achieve various sizes of belt. In order to hold the overlapped rear ends together in their adjusted rela tion, there may be provided a flexible connector in the form of a strap 13 provided with the usual buckle arrangement for fastening it when once it is passed through the desired aligned slots and the free ends are to be drawn together. As shown in Fig. 4, under some adjustment positions there may be a slot showing beyond the adjacent end of the rear end 11, and if so, the free end of the strap 13 may be passed thereinto instead of hanging free as shown in the figure. This makes for a neater appearance.
It will thus be apparent that I have provided a simple, efiicient, and inexpensive adjustable belt which can be easily and readily adjusted to fit a wide range of sizes. Therefore, the Storekeeper may accommodate a large trade with a minimum amount of stock. The two-piece belt with overlapping rear ends with alig-nable apertures in combination with the flexible member such as a strap to be slipped through spaced aligned apertures and fastened with any suitable device such as a buckle, constitute the novel and useful improvement which is my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
In a belt of two pieces having front and rear ends, the rear ends adapted to overlie to a varying degree, and each of the rear ends provided with a series of selectively registrable similar slots, means to secure the rear ends together in varying positions of adjustment, said means comprising a flexible strap having a buckle on one end and having its other end free, said free end being threaded through spaced selectively registered corresponding slots to hold said overlapped ends together, and the ends of said strap being detachably connected.
