Abstract

The invention relates to a belt buckle (1) without armature that comprises a tongue (2) that adjoins a center web (3) that merges into an anchor element (4).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine rahmenlose Gürtelschließe.The invention relates to a frameless belt clasp.

Zum Verbinden von Riemenenden bei Gürteln, Taschen, Sattlerwaren etc. sind Gürtelschließen allgemein bekannt, die einen Schnallenrahmen und einen Schließdorn umfassen. Der Schließdorn ist kippbar an einer Basisseite des Schnallenrahmens befestigt. Die Basisseite des Schnallenrahmens ist in eine Schlaufe eines ersten Riemenendes eingebettet. Ein zweites, loses Riemenende ist mit Lochungen versehen. Zum Verbinden der Riemenenden wird das lose Riemenende zuerst durch den Schnallenrahmen gesteckt und dann der Schließdorn in die Lochung eingeführt. Bei Zug auf die Riemenverbindung wird der Schließdorn mit seiner Spitze auf den Schnallenrahmen gepresst. Das lose Riemenende ist über den in die Lochung eingeführten Schließdorn formschlüssig festgelegt, wobei durch den auf den Rahmen gepressten Schließdorn verhindert wird, dass das lose Riemenende von dem Schließdom abrutschen kann. Weiterhin ist eine Führungsschlaufe erforderlich, in das das lose, frei abstehende Riemenende zu stecken ist.For connecting belt ends for belts, bags, saddlery etc. Belt buckles are well known which have a buckle frame and a Include locking pin. The locking pin can be tilted on a base side of the Buckle frame attached. The base side of the buckle frame is in one Loop of a first belt end embedded. A second, loose strap end is with perforations. This becomes loose to connect the belt ends First put the strap end through the buckle frame and then the locking pin inserted into the perforation. When pulling on the belt connection, the locking pin with its tip pressed onto the buckle frame. The loose strap end is over the locking pin inserted into the perforation is positively fixed, whereby by the locking pin pressed onto the frame prevents the loose Belt end can slip off the dome. Furthermore, one Guide loop required in which the loose, freely protruding belt end is stuck.

Mit der bekannten Gürtelschließe sind zwar funktionelle Riemenverbindungen zu erhalten. Nachteilig ist aber bereits die Handhabung, denn zum Schließen eines Gürtels oder Riemens, der eine bekannte Gürtelschließe aufweist, sind mehrere Schritte durchzuführen, wozu im Allgemeinen auch beide Hände gleichzeitig benutzt werden müssen.With the well-known belt clasp, functional belt connections are closed receive. However, handling is already disadvantageous because it closes one Belts or straps that have a known belt buckle are several Perform steps, which generally involve using both hands at the same time Need to become.

Auch müssen zur Herstellung eines Gürtels mit einer bekannten Gürtelschließe Dom und Schnallenrahmen einzeln gefertigt, drehbeweglich miteinander verbunden und dann in eine Riemenschlaufe eingenäht werden. Da hierzu teilweise Handarbeit notwendig ist, ist ein Gürtel mit einer solchen Gürtelschließe relativ teuer in der Herstellung. Die ästhetische Wirkung wird insbesondere durch den massiven Schnallenrahmen dominiert. Durch die Schlaufung des ersten Riemenendes, die eingebettete Schnalle und die aufgesetzte Führungsschlaufe wird der Gürtel bei Verwendung der herkömmlichen Gürtelschließe relativ dick, was gerade bei dicken Ledermaterialien vom Träger eines solchen Gürtels als störend empfunden wird. Nachteilig ist weiterhin, dass ein relativ großer, massiver Schnallenrahmen erforderlich ist, so dass bei einer aus ästhetischen Gründen wünschenswerten Wahl von Edelmetallen als Werkstoff für die Gürtelschließe erhebliche Kosten entstehen. Filigraneren Konstruktionen des Schnallenrahmen stehen die hohen Biegemomente entgegen, die bei Zug an der Riemenverbindung auf den Schnallenrahmen und den weitgehend frei liegenden, langen Dom wirken. Dorn und Schnallenrahmen müssen aber je nach Biegeradius des Riemenendes eine bestimmte Mindestlänge haben, da sonst das Einfädeln des losen Riemenendes erschwert ist.Also need to make a belt with a known belt clasp cathedral and buckle frame individually manufactured, rotatably connected and then sewn into a strap loop. Because this is partly manual work is necessary, a belt with such a belt clasp is relatively expensive in the Production. The aesthetic effect is particularly due to the massive Buckle frame dominates. Through the loop of the first belt end, the Embedded buckle and the attached guide loop will add to the belt Using the conventional belt buckle relatively thick, which is especially true for thick ones Leather materials from the wearer of such a belt are perceived as disturbing. Another disadvantage is that a relatively large, solid buckle frame is required, so that a choice desirable for aesthetic reasons precious metals as a material for the belt buckle incur considerable costs. The high bending moments stand for more delicate constructions of the buckle frame opposed to the tension on the belt connection on the buckle frame and the largely exposed, long cathedral. Mandrel and buckle frame must but depending on the bending radius of the belt end have a certain minimum length, because otherwise it is difficult to thread the loose end of the belt.

Aus der DE 94 19 623 U1 ist eine Gürtelschließe bekannt, die eine rechteckige Riemendurchführung aufweist, in die die beiden übereinander liegenden Riemenenden gesteckt werden. Von der Riemendurchführung geht eine parallel zu den Riemen verlaufende Abstandsstange aus, die in einem senkrecht abgewinkelten Klemmdorn mündet. Beide Riemenenden sind gelocht und werden zum Schließen so übereinander gelegt, dass zwei Lochungen übereinander liegen, durch die der Klemmdorn hindurch gesteckt wird. Dieser weist an seiner Spitze eine Verdickung auf, die in den Lochungen des Gürtelriemens einrastet, so dass ein unbeabsichtigtes Herausrutschen des Domes aus den Lochungen erschwert ist. Durch dieses Gürtelelement kann eine relativ flache Gürtelverbindung erreicht werden. Auch die Herstellung kann wesentlich kostengünstiger erfolgen als bei einer herkömmlichen Gürtelschließe mit Schnallenrahmen. Nachteilig ist jedoch, dass die Verbindung nur durch das Einrasten der Domverdickung erfolgt. Hier besteht das Dilemma, dass für eine feste Verbindung die Dornverdickung möglichst groß gegenüber dem Lochungsdurchmesser sein muss und das Riemenmaterial möglichst hart und wenig nachgiebig sein muss, dass jedoch für eine einfache Handhabung, also ein einfaches Durchdrücken des Klemmdorns durch die Lochungen, eine genau gegenteilige Ausbildung wünschenswert wäre. Erweitern sich die Lochungen infolge häufigen Gebrauchs, ist ein sicherer Verschluß nicht mehr gewährleistet. Weiterhin wird es als umständlich empfunden, dass zum Schließen zunächst je eine Lochung des untenund des oben liegenden Riemenendes deckungsgleich übereinander gelegt werden müssen. From DE 94 19 623 U1 a belt buckle is known, which has a rectangular Has belt passage in which the two lie one above the other Belt ends are inserted. One of the belt passages runs in parallel the belt extending spacer rod, which is in a vertically angled Clamping mandrel opens. Both ends of the strap are perforated and are so for closing placed on top of each other so that two perforations lie one above the other through which the Pin is inserted through. This has a thickening at its tip on, which snaps into the holes in the belt strap, making an unintended Slipping out of the cathedral from the perforations is difficult. Because of this Belt element, a relatively flat belt connection can be achieved. Also the Manufacturing can be done much cheaper than a conventional one Belt clasp with buckle frame. The disadvantage, however, is that the connection only by snapping the dome thickening into place. The dilemma here is that for a firm connection the thorn thickening as large as possible compared to the Hole diameter must be and the belt material as hard and little must be compliant, but for easy handling, that is, a simple one Pushing the clamping mandrel through the perforations, exactly the opposite Education would be desirable. The perforations widen as a result of frequent Use, a secure closure is no longer guaranteed. It is also called felt awkward that to close each first a perforation of the bottom and of the upper end of the belt are congruent have to.

Aus der FR-A-1 278 486 ist eine Gürtelschließe gemäß dem ersten Teil des Anspruchs 1 bekannt.From FR-A-1 278 486 is a belt clasp according to the first part of claim 1 known.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Gürtelschließe zu schaffen, mit der bei einfacher Handhabbarkeit eine ebenso gebrauchssichere wie ästhetisch ansprechende Riemenverbindung herzustellen ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a belt clasp with which is easy to use and as safe to use as it is aesthetic attractive belt connection is to be established.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Zweiten Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of the second part of claim 1.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass die erfindungsgemäße Gürtelschließe einen sehr einfachen Aufbau aufweist. Durch die bevorzugten schlanken Profilquerschnitte und den Verzicht auf massive Elemente wie einen Schnallenrahmen oder eine Riemendurchführung besitzt die Gürtelschließe nur ein sehr geringes Volumen, so dass eine Fertigung der erfindungsgemäßen Gürtelschließe auch aus Edelmetallen oder anderen Schmuckwerkstoffen vergleichsweise kostengünstig möglich ist. Neben der funktionellen kann die erfindungsgemäße Gürtelschließe so auch eine besondere ästhetische Wirkung ausüben.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that the Belt buckle according to the invention has a very simple structure. Through the preferred slim profile cross-sections and no solid elements like a buckle frame or a strap bushing Belt clasp only a very small volume, so that the manufacture of Belt clasp according to the invention also made of precious metals or others Jewelry materials is comparatively inexpensive. In addition to the The belt clasp according to the invention can also be functional in particular have an aesthetic effect.

Die besondere ästhetische Wirkung ergibt sich bei einem geschlossenen Gürtel, der einen Riemen und eine erfindungsgemäße Gürtelschließe umfasst, auch dadurch, dass im Verbindungsbereich nur die Riemenenden flach übereinander liegen und außen lediglich der Schließdorn sichtbar ist. Die Gürtelschließe tritt bei dem Gürtel der Erfindung in ästhetischer Hinsicht weit zurück.The special aesthetic effect results from a closed belt that comprises a strap and a belt clasp according to the invention, also in that that in the connection area only the belt ends lie flat on top of each other and only the locking pin is visible from the outside. The belt clasp occurs at the belt the invention far back in aesthetic terms.

In funktioneller Hinsicht ergibt sich mit der Gürtelschließe eine sichere Riemenverbindung. Durch den Eingriff des Dorns in eine Riemenlochung wird eine formschlüssige Verbindung hergestellt. Bei Zug auf die Riemenenden wird der Mittelsteg gekippt; bedingt durch die Abwinklung des Schließdorns gegenüber dem Mittelsteg wird der Schließdom mit seiner Dornspitze auf das Riemenende gedrückt.From a functional point of view, the belt clasp is a safe one Belt connection. The engagement of the mandrel in a belt perforation becomes a positive connection established. When pulling on the belt ends the Center bar tilted; due to the bend of the closing mandrel relative to the The locking dome is pressed onto the end of the belt with its mandrel tip.

Diese Wirkung wird am besten erreicht, wenn der Mittelsteg und der Schließdorn einen Winkel von 95° bis 135°, insbesondere 105° bis 115°, einschließen. This effect is best achieved when the center bar and the closing pin enclose an angle of 95 ° to 135 °, in particular 105 ° to 115 °.

Vorteilhaft ist auch, dass die Gürtelschließe zur Bildung eines Gürtels nicht notwendigerweise fest mit einem gelochten Riemen verbunden werden muß, sondem auch einfach in einen solchen eingesteckt werden kann, so dass sich sowohl eine einfache Herstellung wie auch eine einfacher Handhabung ergibt. Die Gürtelschließe kann mit beliebigen Riemen kombiniert werden, soweit die Riemenlochungen zur Aufnahme von Schließdom und Mittelsteg geeignet sind.It is also advantageous that the belt buckle does not form a belt must be firmly connected with a perforated strap, can also simply be plugged into one such that both simple manufacture and simple handling results. The Belt clasp can be combined with any strap, as far as the Belt perforations are suitable for accommodating the lock dome and center bar.

Die erfindungsgemäße Gürtelschließe ist nicht nur für Gürtel, sondern für Riemenverbindungen aller Art, beispielsweise an Taschen, Schuhen, Sattlerwaren, geeignet.The belt clasp according to the invention is not only for belts, but for Belt connections of all kinds, for example on bags, shoes, saddlery, suitable.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantageous refinements can be found in the subclaims.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Gürtelschließe 1 besteht, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, aus einem Schließdom 2, der über einen Mittelsteg 3 mit einem Ankerelement 4 verbunden ist. Dabei schließen der Schließdom 2 und der Mittelsteg 3 einen stumpfen Winkel α von etwa 110° ein. Der Mittelsteg 3 mündet in der Mitte des stabförmigen Ankerelements 4 und ist senkrecht auf diesem angeordnet, so dass der Mittelsteg 3 und das Ankerelement 4 zusammen ein umgedrehtes "T" bilden.A belt buckle 1 according to the invention, as shown in FIG. 1, consists of a Lock dome 2, which is connected to an anchor element 4 via a central web 3. The dome 2 and the central web 3 close an obtuse angle α of about 110 °. The central web 3 opens into the middle of the rod-shaped Anchor element 4 and is arranged vertically on this, so that the central web 3rd and the anchor element 4 together form an inverted "T".

Fig. 2 zeigt ausschnittsweise den Schließbereich eines geschlossenen Gürtels 10. Dieser umfasst eine Gürtelschließe 1 und einen Riemen, dessen Riemenenden 11, 12 jeweils wenigstens eine Riemenlochung aufweisen. Die Gürtelschließe 1 ist durch die in Fig. 2 nicht erkennbare Riemenlochung in dem unten liegenden Riemenende 12 gesteckt, so dass das Ankerelement 4, das größere Abmessungen als die Riemenlochung hat, an der Unterseite des Riemenendes 12 anliegt und dort ein Widerlager bildet. Die Riemenlochung des Riemenendes 12 und die Riemenlochung 11.1 eines zweiten Riemenendes 11 umgeben den Mittelsteg 3. Der Schließdom 2 liegt vollständig oberhalb des Pakets aus den Riemenenden 11, 12. Nach außen hin ist bei einem geschlossenen Gürtel 10 von der Gürtelschließe 1 lediglich der auf den überlappenden Riemenenden 11, 12 liegende Schließdom 2 sichtbar. Es ergibt sich ein harmonischer Gesamteindruck, da bei dem Gürtel der Erfindung keine klobigen Bauteile wie ein Schnallenrahmen erforderlich sind.2 shows sections of the closing area of a closed belt 10. This comprises a belt buckle 1 and a belt, the belt ends 11, 12 each have at least one belt perforation. The belt buckle 1 is through the belt perforation not visible in FIG. 2 in the lower belt end 12 inserted so that the anchor element 4, the larger dimensions than that Has belt perforation, rests against the underside of the belt end 12 and there Abutment forms. The belt hole of the belt end 12 and the belt hole 11.1 of a second belt end 11 surround the middle web 3. The dome 2 lies completely above the package from the belt ends 11, 12. To the outside is in a closed belt 10 of the belt buckle 1 only on the overlapping belt ends 11, 12 lying dome 2 visible. It follows a harmonious overall impression, since the belt of the invention is not bulky Components such as a buckle frame are required.

Bei dem in Fig. 2 gezeigten Gürtel 10 muss der Schließdorn 2 nicht notwendigerwesie außen, also beispielsweise vom Körper eines Trägers weg, weisen. Da zum Schließen des Gürtels 10 der Schließdorn 2 wesentlich weniger abgespreizt werden muss als bei den herkömmlichen Gürtelschließen mit Schnallenrahmen, ist auch ein Schließen des Gürtels 10 in der Weise möglich, dass der Schließdom 2 innen liegt und das Ankerelement 4 außen sichtbar ist.In the belt 10 shown in FIG. 2, the locking pin 2 does not have to necessarily outside, e.g. away from the body of a wearer, point. Since the closing mandrel 2 for closing the belt 10 is considerably less must be spread apart than with conventional belt buckles Buckle frame, it is also possible to close the belt 10 in such a way that the dome 2 is on the inside and the anchor element 4 is visible on the outside.

Die geometrischen Verhältnisse werden nachfolgend anhand der Fig. 4a und 4b verdeutlicht. Wie Fig. 4b zeigt, sind Ankerelement 4 und Schließdorn 2 senkrecht zueinander angeordnet. Fig. 4a zeigt in der Seitenansicht, dass der Schließdorn 2 und der Mittelsteg 3 einen Winkel α einschließen, der größer ist als 90°. Bei einem Winkel α größer als 135° besteht die Gefahr, dass die Riemenenden einer geschlossenen Riemenverbindung über die Kante 5 abgleiten und sich die Verbindung unbeabsichtigt löst. Bevorzugt ist daher ein Winkel α = 105° bis 115°. The geometric relationships are described below with reference to FIGS. 4a and 4b clarified. 4b shows, anchor element 4 and locking pin 2 are vertical arranged to each other. 4a shows in side view that the closing mandrel 2 and the central web 3 enclose an angle α which is greater than 90 °. At a Angle α greater than 135 ° there is a risk that the belt ends one slipped belt connection over the edge 5 and the Unintentionally disconnects. An angle α = 105 ° to 115 ° is therefore preferred.

In der in Fig. 1 und Fig. 4a, 4b dargestellten Ausführungsform haben alle Elemente 2, 3 und 4 der Gürtelschließe 1 den gleichen quadratischen Profilquerschnitt von 3 mm x 3 mm. Andere Abmessungen und Querschnittsformen, beispielsweise runde Querschnitte, sind ebenfalls möglich. Auch kann das Ankerelement flächig ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise als Kreisplatte, wobei der Mittelsteg 3 in Richtung der Flächennormalen angeordnet ist.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 4a, 4b, all elements 2, 3 and 4 of the belt buckle 1 the same square profile cross section of 3 mm x 3 mm. Other dimensions and cross-sectional shapes, for example round Cross sections are also possible. The anchor element can also be flat be formed, for example as a circular plate, the central web 3 in the direction the surface normal is arranged.

An der Verbindung zwischen Mittelsteg 3 und Schließdorn 2 ist eine Kante 5 ausgebildet. Durch eine scharfkantige Ausführung der Kante 5 wird verhindert, dass bei einer geschlossenen Riemenverbindung das unter dem Schließdom 2 liegenden Riemenende 12 vom Mittelsteg 3 zunächst auf den Schließdorn 2 gleitet und möglicherweise sogar von diesem abrutscht.There is an edge 5 at the connection between the central web 3 and the locking pin 2 educated. A sharp-edged design of the edge 5 prevents in the case of a closed belt connection, that is under the lock dome 2 Belt end 12 first slides from the central web 3 to the locking pin 2 and possibly even slips off of this.

Damit sich das Ankerelement 4 nicht durch eine Riemenlochung hindurch ziehen lässt, ist die Länge LB des stabförmigen Ankerelements 4 so gewählt, dass sie mindestens dem Doppelten des Durchmessers der Riemenlochung enstpricht. Bevorzugt beträgt die Länge LB 10 mm bis 20 mm.So that the anchor element 4 cannot be pulled through a belt perforation, the length L B of the rod-shaped anchor element 4 is selected such that it corresponds to at least twice the diameter of the belt perforation. The length L B is preferably 10 mm to 20 mm.

Für eine gute Klemmwirkung entspricht die Länge LM des Mittelstegs 3 als Abstand zwischen der Oberkante des Ankerelements 4 und der Unterkante des Schließdoms 2 im Bereich des Knickpunkts mindestens dem Doppelten der Dicke der Riemenenden.For a good clamping effect, the length L M of the central web 3 corresponds to at least twice the thickness of the belt ends as the distance between the upper edge of the anchor element 4 and the lower edge of the dome 2 in the region of the break point.

Die Länge LS des Schließdorns kann unter gestalterischen Aspekten gewählt werden. Bevorzugt beträgt die Länge LS 20 bis 30 mm.The length L S of the locking pin can be chosen from a design point of view. The length L S is preferably 20 to 30 mm.

Die Handhabung und Funktion des Gürtels der Erfindung wird mit Bezug auf die Figuren 3a und 3b erläutert. Dargestellt ist eine Ausführungsform eines Gürtels 20, dessen eines Riemenende 22 in einer beispielsweise durch Nähen gebildeten Schlaufe 23 endet, welche das Ankerelement 4 umschließt. Durch die Schlaufe 23 wird das Herausfallen der in eine Riemenlochung 22.1 gesteckten Gürtelschließe 1 bei einem geöffneten Gürtel 20 verhindert. Die Schlaufe 23 ist aber für die Funktion der Gürtelschließe 1 nicht unbedingt erforderlich und kann, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, für eine besonders flache Verbindung entfallen. The handling and function of the belt of the invention is described with reference to the Figures 3a and 3b explained. An embodiment of a belt 20 is shown, one of the belt ends 22 in one formed, for example, by sewing Loop 23 ends, which surrounds the anchor element 4. Through the loop 23 the belt buckle 1 inserted into a belt hole 22.1 will fall out prevented with an open belt 20. The loop 23 is for the function the belt buckle 1 is not absolutely necessary and, as shown in Fig. 2, for a particularly flat connection is eliminated.

In der in Fig. 3a gezeigten Stellung ist die Gürtelschließe 1 so aufgerichtet, dass der Mittelsteg 3 von dem Riemenende 22 aufragt und der Schließdom 2 frei liegt. Ein zweites Riemenende 21 wird herangeführt und mit einer der Riemenlochungen 21.1, 21.2 über den Schließdom 2 und dann auf den Mittelsteg 3 geschoben, bis die Riemenenden 21, 22 übereinander liegen, wie in Fig. 3b dargestellt. Die Riemenverbindung ist jetzt geschlossen. Werden, wie durch die Pfeile 31, 32 angedeutet, Zugkräfte auf die Riemenenden 21, 22 ausgeübt, so driften diese mit ihren Riemenlochungen 21.1, 22.1 leicht auseinander, bis eine formschlüssige Verbindung an dem Mittelsteg 3 besteht. Der innerhalb der Riemenlochungen 21.1, 22.1 befindliche Mittelsteg 3 der Gürtelschließe 1 wird hierdurch gekippt, was zur Folge hat, dass der sich im stumpfen Winkel α an den Mittelsteg 3 anschließende Schließdom 2 zumindest mit seiner Domspitze 6 auf das Riemenende 21 drückt. In dem in Fig. 3b gezeigten Beispiel eines Gürtels 20 ist der Abstand der Riemenlochungen 21.1, 21.2 im Verhältnis zur Schließdornlänge LS so gewählt, dass bei einer Gürtelschließe 1, deren Mittelsteg 3 in der Riemenlochung 21.1 steckt, die Domspitze 6 in die benachbarte Riemenlochung 21.2 eingreift.In the position shown in Fig. 3a, the belt buckle 1 is erected so that the central web 3 protrudes from the belt end 22 and the lock dome 2 is exposed. A second belt end 21 is brought in and pushed with one of the belt perforations 21.1, 21.2 over the locking dome 2 and then onto the central web 3 until the belt ends 21, 22 lie one above the other, as shown in FIG. 3b. The belt connection is now closed. If, as indicated by the arrows 31, 32, tensile forces are exerted on the belt ends 21, 22, they drift apart slightly with their belt perforations 21.1, 22.1 until there is a positive connection on the central web 3. The central web 3 of the belt buckle 1 located within the belt perforations 21.1, 22.1 is thereby tilted, with the result that the dome 2 adjoining the central web 3 at an obtuse angle α presses at least with its dome tip 6 onto the belt end 21. In the example of a belt 20 shown in FIG. 3b, the distance between the belt perforations 21.1, 21.2 in relation to the locking pin length L S is selected such that, in the case of a belt buckle 1, the central web 3 of which is in the belt perforation 21.1, the dome tip 6 into the adjacent belt perforation 21.2 intervenes.
