United States Patent ADJUSTABLE CROSSING PIECE FOR FLEXIBL BANDS Pan-ice M. Bayou, Avrille, France Application March 18, 1955, Serial No. 495,233 Claims priority, application France May 20, 1954 2 Claims. (Cl. 24-74) The present invention has for its object a crossing piece for adjustable flexible bands, that is to say a piece for holding together two flexible bands at their crossing point and adapted to be displaced on said bands so as to change the position of said crossing point. This crossing piece is more particularly adapted to be used on suspenders, for constituting the adjustable back thereof, or on sock-suspenders.
The crossing piece according to the invention, which is particularly remarkable by the simplicity of its structure and use, is essentially characterized in that it is formed by a buckle having the shape of a quadrilateral comprising solely a peripheral frame having four sides and whose four sides are of equal length and in which the distance between the opposite sides is slightly greatly than the width of the bands on which the buckle is mounted.
All four sides of the buckle may lie in the same plane, or the pairs of opposite sides of the buckle may lie in two parallel planes, the distance between these planes being smaller than the total thickness of the crossed bands.
According to an embodiment adapted to be used as an adjustable back of suspenders, the buckle has the shape of a lozenge.
According to another embodiment, adapted to be used on sock-suspenders, the buckle has the shape of a square.
The appended drawings show by way of example various embodiments of the crossing piece for adjustable flexible bands which forms the subject matter of the invention.
Fig. l is a front view of a first embodiment which can be applied as a back for suspenders.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a modification.
Fig.3 is a front view showing the crossing piece of Fig. 1 or Fig. 2 placed on suspenders.
Fig. 4 is a section on line IV-IV of Fig. 3, the crossing piece being that of Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 is a section on line IV-IV of Fig. 3, the crossing piece being that of Fig. 2.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a sock-suspender comprising a crossing piece according to the invention.
Fig. 7 is a front view of another embodiment.
Fig. 8 is a section on line VIII-VIII of Fig. 7.
As shown in the drawings, the crossing piece forming the subject-matter of the invention is essentially formed by a buckle 1, for example of metal wire having a round cross section or another cross section devoid of sharp angles, said buckle having the shape of a quadrilateral comprising solely a peripheral frame of four sides and whose four sides 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d are of equal length and in which the distance between the opposite sides 1a1c and 1b-1d respectively is slightly greater than the width of the bands on which the buckle is mounted.
All four sides of the buckle may lie in the same plane (see Figs. 1 and 4), or the pairs of opposite sides may lie in two parallel planes (see Figs. 2 and 5), the distance between these planes being smaller than the total thickness of the two flexible bands on which the crossing piece is to be applied. The shape of the quadrilateral forming the buckle 1 may vary according to the desired crossing angle of the bands, and consequently according to the considered application.
Thus, when the buckle is intended to form the back of suspenders, it will generally have the shape of a lozenge (see Figs. 1 and 3).
A The manner in which the buckle is used in, the afore- ICC 2 said case will be easily understood from Fig. 3 of the drawings. One of the braces of the suspenders, say the one designated by B in Fig. 3, is placed across the sides 1b and 1d of the buckle, While the other brace, B is passed over the brace B and under the sides 1a and 1c of the buckle.
When the buckle is flat, all its four sides lying in the same plane (Figs. 1 and 4), the curvature of the brace B will be more pronounced than in the case where the pairs of opposite sides of the buckle lie in two parallel planes (Figs. 2 and 5). Thus, the pressure exerted by the braces against each other will be greater in the first case than in the second one, and consequently the sliding of the buckle on one and then on the other brace, for the purpose of adjusting the back of the suspenders, will be easier in the second case than in the first one.
However, once the adjustment is made, the position of the back of the suspenders will be stable in either case, since the buckle cannot slide simultaneously on both braces, along the vertical middle line of Fig. 3.
Fig. 6 shows the application of a crossing piece according to the invention to a sock suspender comprising a flexible band B the portions B and B of which are crossed in a buckle 1 which has in this case the shape of a square, each of said band portions carrying at its end a clip P P of any convenient type. According to a modification, the end of the portion B can be fastened to the side 1c of the buckle, the clip P being in this case omitted.
It will be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have been described and shown, but extends also to any modifications thereof, within the scope of the appended claims. Thus, for example, the buckle l, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, instead of being formed of metal wire, can be stamped out of a sheet of material, whereafter the sharp edges of the stamped piece are rounded off. Here again, the buckle 1 consists of a frame having four peripheral sides 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d opposed to each others in pairs.
I claim:
1. A crossing piece adapted to be applied on the crossing point of two adjustable flexible bands, comprising a buckle having the shape of a quadrilateral consisting solely of a peripheral frame having four sides disposed in opposite pairs, whose four sides are of equal length and in which the distance between the opposite sides is slightly greater than the width of said bands, and wherein said pairs of opposite sides lie in two parallel planes, the distance between said planes being smaller than the total thickness of said two bands.
2. In a suspender for articles of clothing, two flexible band portions and a buckle having the shape of a quadrilateral consisting solely of a peripheral frame having four sides disposed in opposite pairs, said four sides being of equal length, the distance between said opposite sides being slightly greater than the width of said band portions, one of said band portions passing over two opposite sides of said frame and the other of said band portions passing over said first band portion and under the two other opposite sides of said frame, said pairs of opposite sides lying in two parallel planes, the distance between said parallel planes being smaller than the total thickness of said crossed band portions.
