Abstract
A belt holding device formed integrally from a continuous and planar blank material and comprising a peripheral frame portion and at least three projections or tongued portions respectively extending from the peripheral frame portion toward generally a center of a central area defined by the peripheral frame portion, and leaving an opening in generally a center of the central area through which a strip of belt can be threaded in position.
Claims4
A belt holding device formed integrally in one piece from a continuous and planar blank, comprising a peripheral frame defining an inner area having an opening in the center thereof for allowing a belt with legs to pass in crossed relationship therethrough and three projections extending from said frame toward generally the center of said inner area, three elongated slits extending in the inner area along the frame in communication with said central opening, each of said slits extending between two adjacent projections and adapted to allow at least one leg of said belt to thread therethrough, said inner area being formed in the form of a pentagon, one of said projections extending from one corner of said pentagon and having an arcuate inner edge and a pair of converging straight edges extending toward said one corner, each of other projections extending from each of alternate sides of said pentagon defined between other corners thereof and having a substantially trapezoidal shape in plan view, portions of said belt holding device which are contacted by the legs of the belt being formed with a thickness substantially thinner than the thickness of remaining portions of said device, thereby allowing said device to hold belt with legs in crossed relationship.
A belt holding device formed integrally in one piece from a continuous and planar blank, comprising a peripheral frame defining an inner area having an opening in the center thereof for allowing a belt with legs to pass in cross relationship therethrough and four projections extending from said frame toward generally the center of said inner area, four elongated slits extending in the inner area along the frame in communication with said central opening, each of said slits extending between two adjacent projections and adapted to allow one leg of said belt to thread therethrough, said inner area being formed in the form of an octagon, each of said projections extending from each of alternate sides of said octagon, at least one of said projections being formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape in plan view, thereby allowing said device to hold said belt with legs in crossed relationship.
A belt holding device formed integrally in one piece from a continuous and planar blank, comprising a peripheral frame defining an inner area having an opening in the center thereof for allowing a belt with legs to pass in cross relationship therethrough and three projections extending from said frame toward generally the center of said inner area, three elongated slits extending in the inner area along the frame in communication with said central opening, each of said slits extending between two adjacent projections and adapted to allow at least one leg of said belt to thread therethrough, said inner area being formed in the form of a hexagon, each of said projections extending from each of alternate sides of said hexagon, said projections being formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape in plan view, and portions of said belt holding device which are contacted by the legs of the belt being formed with a thickness substantially thinner than the thickness or remaining portions of said device thereby allowing said device to hold said belt with legs in crossed relationship.
