Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a method for making a belt and a belt.
- It is known to make belts in several materials, for example by superposing layers over each other made of different materials.
- A first method for making belts in several materials comprises superposing and gluing the layers to each other. The belts made with this method may be subject to detachments of the various layers due to wear or aging of the adhesive. Moreover, no finishing process is comprised of the edges at which both edges of the layers and the adhesive used, remain visible.
- A second method for making belts comprises gluing and/or stitching the layers to each other by applying, on the edges, a covering edge to complete the belt and hide the adhesive. The covering edge is easily subject to wear and, due to the pigments used, may soil the garments to which the belt is applied.
- In this context, the technical purpose which forms the basis of this invention is to propose a method for making a belt and a belt which overcome the above mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.
- More specifically, the aim of this invention is to provide a method for making a belt and a belt capable of resisting wear.
- A further aim of this invention is to propose a method for making a belt that is easy to apply and adapt to automated production systems.
- Yet another aim of this invention is to allow the use of any type of material, more specifically metallic materials or materials provided with metallic decorations.
- The technical purpose indicated and the aims specified are substantially achieved by a method for making a belt and a belt, respectively comprising the technical features described in one or more of the appended claims. The dependent claims, also in combinations not expressly provided, correspond to different embodiments of the invention.
- Further features and advantages of the invention are more apparent in the non-limiting description which follows of a preferred non-exclusive embodiment of a belt, together with the method for making it.
- The description is set out below with reference to the accompanying drawings which are provided solely for purposes of illustration without restricting the scope of the invention and in which:
-
Figure 1 is a schematic top view of some components designed to make a belt according to this invention; -
Figure 2 is a schematic top view of the components ofFigure 1 , superposed; -
Figure 3 is a schematic top view of a belt according to this invention; -
Figure 4 is a schematic perspective view of a portion of belt being made. With reference to the accompanying drawings, and in particular toFigure 3 , the numeral 1 denotes a belt in its entirety. - The belt 1 comprises a
first layer 2 preferably made of leather. Thefirst layer 2 extends along a longitudinal direction X-X corresponding to a final length of the belt. The term "extends" means that the first layer has, along the longitudinal direction X-X, a dimension, hereinafter called length, which is greater than that of the others. - Moreover, the
first layer 2 has, transversely to the longitudinal direction X-X, a width L which is greater than the final width Lf of the belt 1. - The belt 1 also comprises a
second layer 3 extending along a longitudinal direction X-X corresponding to the length of the belt 1. In this case too, the term "extending" means that the second layer has, along the longitudinal direction X-X, a dimension, hereinafter called length, which is greater than that of the others. - Moreover, the
second layer 3 has, transversely to the longitudinal direction X-X, a width L1 which is smaller than the final width Lf of the belt 1 and is smaller than the width L of thefirst layer 2. - The
second layer 3 is selected from among one or more of the following materials: leather, short-haired fur or pony hair, metallic materials or materials with metallic decorations, PVC, PU, artificial leather, denim, canvas, various weaves and small components. - In the step of making the belt, after having prepared the
first layer 2 and thesecond layer 3, thesecond layer 3 is superposed on thefirst layer 2, in the middle relative to the width L of thefirst layer 2, thus leaving free two outerlongitudinal strips 4 of thefirst layer 2. - Then, each of the outer
longitudinal strips 4 is folded over thesecond layer 3 along a respectivelongitudinal fold line 5 which is parallel to the longitudinal direction X-X and therefore to the length of the belt. In other words, thefirst layer 2 is folded longitudinally over both the longitudinalouter edges 6 of thesecond layer 3, thus leaving free and visible acentral portion 3a of thesecond layer 3. - More specifically, when superposing the
second layer 3 on thefirst layer 2, each longitudinal outer edge 3b of thesecond layer 3 is positioned inside a respectivelongitudinal fold line 5, with reference to a longitudinal centre line of the belt 1. - Lastly, each of the outer
longitudinal strips 4 is fixed, and more specifically stitched through thesecond layer 3 and thefirst layer 2.Figure 3 illustrates, for example, two seams C for each outerlongitudinal strip 4, which are positioned parallel to the length of the belt 1. - In one possible embodiment, during the step of making the belt 1, a reinforcing
layer 7 is also prepared, extending along a longitudinal direction X-X corresponding to the length of the belt 1. In this case too, the term "extending" means that thereinforcing layer 7 has, along the longitudinal direction X-X, a dimension, hereinafter called length, which is greater than that of the others. - The reinforcing
layer 7 is superposed on thefirst layer 2, in the middle relative to the width L of the first layer, before thesecond layer 3 is superposed. In other words, the reinforcinglayer 7 is interposed between thefirst layer 2 and thesecond layer 3. - Preferably, the
reinforcing layer 7 has, transversely to the longitudinal direction, a width L2 which is smaller than the width L of thefirst layer 2 and is greater than the width L1 of thesecond layer 3. More specifically, the width L2 of the reinforcinglayer 7 is substantially equal to the final width Lf of the belt 1. - Preferably, each longitudinal
outer edge 8 of the reinforcinglayer 7 substantially superposes a respectivelongitudinal fold line 5. In other words, thefirst layer 2 is folded at each outerlongitudinal edge 8 of the reinforcinglayer 7. Moreover, each longitudinal outer edge 3b of thesecond layer 3 is positioned inside a respective longitudinalouter edge 8 of the reinforcinglayer 7, with reference to a longitudinal centre line of the belt 1. - In one possible embodiment, the
first layer 2 may have, along the longitudinal direction X-X, a length which is greater than the length of thesecond layer 3 and, if necessary, than the reinforcinglayer 7, if present. In this case, superposing the layers is performed in a such a way that at least onehead portion 9 of thefirst layer 2 protrudes. More specifically, thehead portion 9 may have a smaller width than the total width L of the first layer and substantially equal to the final width Lf of the belt 1. - The
head portion 9 has at least one opening 10 designed to receive a movable sidepiece ortongue 11 of abuckle 12 of the belt 1. - Making the belt 1 therefore comprises folding the
head portion 9 relative to atransversal fold line 13 to define a slot for fixing thebuckle 12, more specifically, aframe 13 for thebuckle 12. Thehead portion 9 may be folded toward thesecond layer 3, as illustrated inFigure 3 , which constitutes the front of the belt 1, or toward the back of the belt 1, that is to say, toward the exposed part of thefirst layer 2. - Fixing the head portion of 9 may be stable or removable, for example by inserting screws (not illustrated) through the layers of the belt.
- In one possible embodiment, the
first layer 2 may have, along the longitudinal direction X-X, a length which is greater than the length of thesecond layer 3 and, if necessary, than the reinforcinglayer 7, if present. In this case, superposing the layers is performed in a such a way that at least onetail portion 14 of thefirst layer 2 protrudes. More specifically, thetail portion 14 may have a smaller width than the total width L of the first layer and substantially equal to the final width Lf of the belt 1. - Making the belt 1 therefore comprises folding the
tail portion 14 relative to a tailtransversal fold line 15 toward thesecond layer 3, as illustrated inFigure 3 . Fixing thetail portion 14 may be achieved by seams C. - When the embodiment is complete, the belt 1 is defined on the back by the
first layer 2 which continuously folds over the front part of the belt at outerlongitudinal strips 4, thus leaving visible thecentral portion 3a of thesecond layer 3. - In this way, the belt 1 is more resistant to wear, more specifically at the edges made directly by means of the
first layer 2. The coupling between the first and the second layer allows a fast and automatable embodiment and the possibility of introducing the reinforcing layer by selecting from among different thicknesses and materials as a function of the type of belt. The presence of the folded outerlongitudinal strips 4 completely covers each longitudinal outer edge 3b of thesecond layer 3, therefore the second layer may be made in any material also with jagged, sharp or irregular edges. - Comprising different widths of the reinforcing layer and of the second layer generates a slight step at each longitudinal outer edge 3b of the
second layer 3 which facilitates fixing the outerlongitudinal strips 4, preferably with two seams, one at only the reinforcing layer (outer seam) and one at both the reinforcing layer and at the second layer (inner seam).
