Abstract
A belt display device of the type adapted to engage the buckle element of a dress belt, the buckle having a laterally projecting locking stud. The device engages the locking stud in such a manner that when the device is suspended upon a horizontally oriented rail or similar supporting structure adjacent other similarly suspended belts, the free end of the locking stud is prevented from contacting the outer surface of an adjacent buckle thereby avoiding the possibility of marring said surface.
Claims2
In a combination display belt hanger of resilient flexible material, including a main body having means for engaging a fixed support, and a loop-forming element depending from said main body element;
- and a buckle element of an individual dress belt selectively engaged with said loop-forming element, the improvement comprising:
- said buckle element including a generally planar main body portion having inner and outer surfaces, and an elongated stud having a free end extending laterally from said inner surface;
- said loop-forming element including a keyhole-shaped opening therein having a first portion of configuration corresponding to the diameter of said stud, and a second larger portion communicating therewith;
- said stud being engaged with said keyhole-shaped opening from an outer surface of said loop-forming member, whereby said free end is at least partially enclosed between the inner surfaces of communicating parts of said loop-forming element, and thereby shielded from accidental contact with other objects.
