A belt buckle construction is disclosed which has a keeper with a frame and tongue pivotably disposed on the outer end thereof for interengagement with the longitudinally perforated end of a flexible belt strap. The keeper also includes a rearwardly opening sleeve to receive the inner end of the belt strap, which may be of the reversible type. The sleeve includes an upwardly opening undercut slot which exposes a surface portion of the inner end of the belt strap. A combination belt loop and belt clamping member transversely engageable within said slot and including a projecting portion for engaging and releasably clamping the inner end of said belt within the sleeve of said keeper. This construction enables the belt to be cut to any desired length and/or reversed from one side to the other. The belt loop portion of said clamping member serves to receive and retain the outer end of the belt flat against the underlying end of the belt for a neat appearance.
Belt buckle construction comprising a frame and a keeper pivotably interconnected, the keeper including a rearwardly opening chamber adapted to receive therein the inner terminal end of a belt strap, a transversely extending slot opening through said chamber to expose a portion of the upper surface of said belt strap disposed in said chamber, a belt clamping member adapted to be slidably fitted transversely into said slot, and including a projecting portion on the inner surface thereof for clamping engagement with the exposed portion of the belt strap to lock one end of the strap and buckle together.
