BUCKLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 17, 1907.

Application filerl March 20, 1907. Serial No. 363,424.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, MAX RUBIN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buckles, of which the following is a specification.

' This invention-relates to improvements in buckles and particularly to that class of buckles which are to be used on the straps of garments.

The object of my invention is to provide a buckle which is simple in construction, strong, durable and holds parts firmly and securely and is reliable.

In the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures: Figure 1 is a face view of my improved buckle. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a like view showing the manner in which the straps are held by this buckle.

This buckle is struck up from sheet metal as a rectangular frame A having the two side members B, end members 0 C and the longitudinal middle member D. The side members B B are curved transversely and made hollow on the underside and the inner wall is extended lower than the outer wall of each side member so as to form the binding edge E. The intermediate member D D is pressed down longitudinally along its central line so as to have a U shape and to form two upwardly extending side edges F F on the upper face of the buckle. The upper surfaces of the side members B B and end members O C and the upper edges F F of the longitudinal central member D are all substantially in the same plane as shown in Fig. 2. The edges F formed by the sides of the longitudinal central member D on the upper surfaces of-the buckle do not extend to the outer other strip K is passed under the edges E E over the edges F F in such a manner as to be beneath the end a. Therefore the end I) will be in contact with the edges E E. The longitudinal strain in opposite directions in the strips H and K presses the ends of these straps upon each other in such a manner that the upper end a will force the lower end Z) against the edges F F and the lower end I) will force the upper end a against the edges E E causing the strips H and K to bind on these edges and to be held firmly and securely.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A buckle made of a single piece of metal and having two side members, two end members and a longitudinal central member, the upper surfaces of said side members, end members and central member being substantially in the same plane and the longitudinal central member having two binding edges formed on its upper surface, the material between these edges being depressed to form said edges, and each side member having a binding edge formed on its underside and along the inner edge, substantially as set forth.

2. A buckle made of metal and having two side members, two end members and a longitudinal central member, the upper surfaces of said side members, end members and central member being all substantially in the same plane and the longitudinal central member having two binding edges formed on its upper surface and each side member having a binding edge formed along its inner side and on the under surface, the-binding edges on the upper surface of the central member extending from the inner edge of one end member to the inner edge of the other end member, substantially as set forth.

Signed at New York city in the county of New York and State of New York this 11th day of March A. D. 1907.

MAX RUBIN.
