Abstract
Adjustable belts include new and improved belt buckles which allow for convenient adjustment of belt lengths, as well as secure and easily adjustable couplings of the two ends of the belts. This is accomplished by providing the belt buckles with an arrangement of slots and struts around which the belt is looped to selectively accumulate its length thereon and through which the belt is trained, so as to frictionally retain the belt on the buckle while determining the length of the belt.
Claims16
A coupling arrangement for coupling a flag to a flag-tag belt, said coupling arrangement comprising:
- a slider support for receiving a web of the belt,
- a first suction cup integral with said slider support,
- a flag attachment buckle for receiving the flag,
- a second suction cup for interacting with said first suction cup,
- a stem interconnecting said flag attachment buckle and said second suction cup, and
- at least one of said first suction cup and said second suction cup including an air hole for allowing axial sliding of said suction cups together.
A flag coupling arrangement comprising:
- a buckle for receiving a web of a belt,
- a loop projecting from the buckle,
- a flag,
- a diameter of said loop being less than a width of said flag,
- a tapered leading edge of the flag for passing the flag through said loop to attach the flag to the buckle, and
- a trailing edge of said flag being folded upon itself so as to be retained by said loop until said leading edge of said flag is pulled to cause said trailing edge of said flag to slide through said loop and free said flag from the buckle.
A coupling arrangement for coupling a flag to a flag-tag belt, said coupling arrangement comprising:
- a slider support for receiving a web of the belt,
- a first suction cup integral with said slider support,
- a flag attachment buckle for receiving the flag,
- a second suction cup for interacting with said first suction cup,
- a stem interconnecting said flag attachment buckle and said second suction cup, and
- one of said first suction cup and said second suction cup including a projection and the other of said first suction cup and said second suction cup including a socket for receiving said projection for securing said first suction cup and said second suction cup together.
