Patented Aug. 6, 1946 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE FASTENING MEANS Joseph Siege], New York, N. Y. Application February 8, 1944, Serial No. 521,500
2 Claims.
This invention relates to devices employed for attaching together the loose ends of a belt or strap, and more particularly to belt or strap buckles or clasps.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a buckle device which is capable of being easily and quickly attached to and detached from a strap or the like.
Another object of .the present invention is to provide a buckle device which may be readily and securely but removab-ly applied at or near one loose end of a strap without a sewing, stapling, riveting or like operation; and in such a manner as to render its accidental disconnection therefrom while in use practically impossible, since the means for connecting the buckle to the strap and after it has been applied thereto, is also employed for anchoring or catching the other loose end of the strap to the buckle.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a buckle having means only on the rear or back face thereof adapted to project through the strap for removably fastening it to an end thereof, which means is further adapted to engage the other end of the strap through an opening therein or loop thereat.
By providing the points of fastening of the buckle to the strap and of the loose end of the strap .to the buckle behind the front face of the buckle, all fastening means and connections are concealed from view and the embellishment of the buckle is not impaired.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide in combination with a strap having at one end thereof perforations, a buckle having a stud and a hook projecting from the back face thereof and receivable in the said perforations, with the hook overlying the back of the trap and a loop connected to the other end of the strap and engageable with one of the projecting members of the buckle, whereby the buckle may be securely fastened to the strap and the loop held in engagement with the buckle.
A further object of the invention resides in the provision of a very simple, inexpensive, efficient, and durable buckle which may be readily and securely attached to a perforated end of a strap, the attaching means also providing an anchor for the securement of the other end of the strap.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the following disclosure thereof together with the attached drawing which illustrates certain forms of embodiment thereof. These forms are shown for the purpose of illustrating the invention, and it is to be understood that the instrumentalities of which the invention consists can be variously arranged and organized and that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangement and organization of the instrumentalities as herein shown and described:
In the drawing: I
Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of a belt having disposed thereon a buckle made in accordance with the invention and shown in closed position;
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal-sectional view thereof taken along line 22 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a front elevational View of the buckle element;
Fig. 4 is an edge view of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is the rear View of Fig. 3;
Fig. 6 is a view of a locking loop used in connection with the buckle of Figs. 3 to 5;
Figs. 7 and 8 are front and siderelevational views respectively of a retaining loop shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 9 is a top plan view of a buckle embodying the invention in a modified form;
Fig. 10 is an edge view of Fig. 9 and showing the belt elements indicated in dot-dash lines;
Fig. 11 is an edge view of a buckle embodying the invention in a further modified form; and
Fig. 12 is a top plan view of Fig. 11.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing, there is disclosed a buckle member l5 and loop element It, which may be made of any suitable material, such as, metal, plastic, composition, etc. Member I5 which may be of any suitable shape and design comprises a base or plate ll from the back or rear face I 8 of which projects near one end thereof a pin or stud l9 having a shank l9 and an enlarged head 20, and near the other end thereof an angular pin or tongue 2| having the rearwardly directed straight portion or shank 22 connecting with plate l1 and the bent portion 23 spaced from the rear face ill of plate 15 by portion 22 and preferably disposed substantially parallel with relation to the near face I8. It is preferable to have the bent portion 23 facing in a direction away from base plate i5, as shown in the drawing. The front face 24 of the plate l5 may carry suitable embellishment (not shown), or be suitably engraved or etched in a conventional manner, but not shown in the drawing.
from a single .piece of to provide a longitudinal as a belt, and having the conventional spaced eyes, perforations, or openings 21, 21', 21", 21' at one loose end portion 28' thereof. As very clearly seen in these figures, the buckle I is very easily, adjustably and readily and removably fastened to the strap by passing the angularly disposed pin or tongue 2| and the stud respectively, through adjacent perforations 21', 21". The bent portion 23 of tongue 2! overlies the rear face 29.0f'strap 28 constituting an abutment thereagainst.
The loop i6 is fastened to the other end of the strap by passing the loose end portion 30 through the longitudinal slot of the loop l6 and securing portion in overlying position to the adjacent portion 31 of the strap as by means of aneyelet or snap fastener 32.
As clearly seen in Fig. 2, the eye '26 of loop I6 is made to catch on or engage stud l9 between the rear face 29 of strap 28 and the enlarged head 20 of stud l9. The shank I9 is of suflicient length to accommodate the thickness of the strap 28 and loop It.
It is evident that the girth of the strap may be varied simply by withdrawing the buckle l5 from the adjacent perforations 21, 21" and replacing it on the strap by having the stud and tongue engage any other two perforations consecutive, adjacent, or otherwise;
Thestrap may be provided with one. or more keeper loops 35 extending transversely across the strap for retaining the loose end portion 28 of the strap 28 in position.
Figs. 9 and 10 disclose a buckle 36 embodying the invention in a modified form. According to this embodiment the buckle is provided with a hook-shaped member 31. projecting from the rear face of plate 39. It is preferred that member :31 be centrally disposed as regards the plate 3.9 and be of such shape that the pull on the strap when in operable position (see arrows A, B Fig. 10) will maintain the buckle fiat against the strap. It is, therefore, proposed that the hook 31 have its bight 38 ofiset as regards its shank All which connects with .plate 39. As seen in Fig. 10, th'ehook 31 is passed through a perforation of the strap at one end thereof and is adapted to be operatively engaged by the loop is on the other end of the strap.
Figs. 11 and 12 illustrate the invention in a further modified form as comprising a buttonshaped buckle having a plate 40 from the rear face of which projects a stud 4! having a shank s2 and enlarged head 43. In adjusting the buckle onto the strap,.stud 4! is made to engage one of the perforations in one end of the strap and the band or strap, garter, armband, etc., and providing an embellishment at the connecting ends.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to be secured by Letters Patent, is:
1. A buckle for a strap, comprising a plate and spaced-apart projections at the back of said plate, one of said projections extending from said plate intermediate its lateral sides and adjacent one end of said plate, said one of said'projections being angular and having its free end projecting beyond said plate, the other of said projections comprising a stud extending from said plate intermediate its lateral sides and adjacent the other end of said plate, said stud comprising a shank and an enlarged head at its extremity, and a loop member adapted to be connected with an end of the strap and engaging said stud for securing portions of the strap together.
2. A buckle for attaching opposite end portions of a strap, comprising aplate adapted to be connected with one end portion of the strap and having spaced apart projections at the back of said plate to extend through openings in said end portion of the strap, one of said projections extending from said plate intermediate its lateral sides and adjacent one end of the plate and being angularly offset in a direction away from the opposite end of the plate to engage in one of the openings, the other of said projections comprising a stud extending from said plate intermediate its lateral sides and adjacent the other end of the late, said stud including a shank and an enlarged head thereon at its extremity, and a loop member adapted to be connected with the opposite end portion of the strap and engaging said stud for securing the strap end'portions together, said stud extending laterally, from the plate a greater distance than the first-mentioned projection to extend through anopening in thestrap and accommodate on the projecting extremity thereof the loop member.
