In Great Britain April 12, 1945 1 Claim.
The invention has reference to waist or like belts and their fastenings of the kind illustrated, described and claimed in my prior patent of the United States No. 2,137,796 dated November 22, 1938.
In this kind of waist or like belt there is provided at one end of it a permanent and flexible longitudinal loop, a buckle attached to said loop by one of its transverse bars passing therethrough to slide in said loop longitudinally thereof, and a iieXible tension spring disposed longitudinally within said loop and having one end in pivotal engagement with the transverse bar and the other end secured to the inner end of said loop by an attachment member.
This kind of belt is extensively used by athletes and game players, and while to some extent is efiicient has been proven to be defective inasmuch as the mechanical connection of the dexible tension spring to the leather is ineii'icient, in consequence of deterioration of the leather, and of the mechanical securing devices becoming loosened or impaired by the stresses of the flexible tension spring which must be strong in order grip of the belt around the clothing worn, but furthermore by said mechanical devices being affected by perspiration and climatic variations, and by rubbing against the clothing.
It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a simple, eicient, and inexpensive connection between the inner end of the loop and the attachment member for the ilexible tension spring, to thereby overcome the objections hereinbefore stated.
According to the invention a leather waist belt or the like of the kind described is characterised by the loop having an inturned end, providing at this end three thicknesses of leather, and by a metal attachment member secured to said inturned end by transversely applied mechanical devices, said member together with the devices being securely clamped, in a sandwiched manner, between the two outer thicknesses of leather, by sewings passing through the three thicknesses of leather so that there are four surfaces of leather in close physical contact to resist displacement of the mechanical devices by stresses consequent upon the use of the belt, it being appreciated that if the attachment member is a hook engaging a hole in the inturned end the hook will be prevented from opening, and that in the case of the member being secured to the inturned end by rivets, or a staple, the ends of the rivets or staple are prevented from opening to be elTective for the necessary resilient Ait) out; it being understood that the sewing of the three thicknesses of leather to each other takes place while said thicknesses are under transverse pressure. In addition to maximum security of the attachment member to the inturned end, the invention also provides against perspiration and climatic conditions affecting the mechanical devices, and prevents same rubbing against the clothing and giving consequent discomfort to the wearer.
In the drawing- Fig. 1 is a plan of the looped end of a waist belt fitted with a tonged buckle.
Fig. 2 is a longituddinal section of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a plan of the buckle and its resilient connection before application to the loop.
Fig. 4 is a transverse section of a modication.
Fig. 5 is a transverse section of a further modiication.
One end of a leather or like belt l is doubled upon itself at 2 to provide a loop 3, and the end 4 of this loop is inturned to be sandwiched between the two outer thicknesses 5 and 6 of the loop, thereby providing at this end of the loop three thicknesses of leather. This inturned end 4 has applied to it a metal attachment member 1, in the form of a flat hook in Figs. 1 to 3, and in the form of a flat plate in Figs. 4 and 5, 'the hook engaging a hole through the inturned end 4, and the plate secured to said inturned leather end 4 by transverse rivets 'la in Fig. 4, and by a transverse dat staple 1c in Fig. 5, any one of the mechanical securing devices being applied to the inturned end 4 transversely.
A It therefore follows that the attachment member 'l is mechanically secured to the inturned end 4 only, and that the latter, the member 1 and the securing devices are sandwiched between the two outer thicknesses 5 and 6 of the loop 3, and that when the three thicknesses 4, 5 and 6 of leather are sewn at B closely together while under pressure the mechanical devices are secured against becoming loose, it being clear that where the end 4 is inturned and secured by sewing there are four leather faces in frictional pressure-contact.
The loop 3 provides a channel or housing 9 for the purpose hereinafter described, and the inturned end 4 materially assists in the formation of this housing.
A buckle H3, having a tongue l l pivoted on the buckle -bar I2, is inserted in the loop 3 so that said bar l2 is slidable therein longitudinally with the tongue Il slidably engaging a slot I4 in the outer end of the loop 3. The buckle l0 is resiliently connected to the belt by two springs I4 having outer eyed ends I5 permanently connected to integral hooks I6 of a connector I'I having knuckles I8 revolubly engaging said buckle bar I2, while inner eyed ends I9 of said springs are connected to corresponding hooks 20 of the attachment member 1.
What I claimis:
A waist belt` or the. like comprising a single strap folded over and inturned at one end to form a longitudinal loop closed by three strapv thicknesses, an attaching member anchored to the lnturned portion of said strap, means securing the three strap thicknesses together, aebuckle attached to said loop by one of its transverse bars passing therethrough to slide in said loop longitudinally thereof, and a exible tension spring disposed longitudinally within said loop, said springk having one end: pivotally' secured to said Y transverse bar, the other end, being secured to 10 said attaching member.
