Abstract
A belt buckle (2) has a frame-shaped buckle body (4) and a swiveling pin (24) that can be pushed through one of usually several longitudinally centered holes in the belt and locked, with the pin compressed by spring loading against a first transverse spar (10) of buckle body (4). The belt buckle is characterized in that the spring loading derives from a continuous elastomer band (28), which extends from a second transverse spar (12) of buckle body (4) at a small distance from the point of attachment of pin (24) around the pin. Such a buckle can be manufactured more easily, and thus profitably. It is functionally safer, and additionally has less danger of causing injury than a buckle equipped with a wire spring.
Claims8
A belt buckle with a frame-shaped buckle body and a pin that swivels about a bearing axis and can be pushed through one of several longitudinally centered holes in a belt and locked, which pin is pressed by spring bias against a first transverse spar of the buckle body,
- the improvement wherein
- the spring bias derives from a continuous elastomer band, which extends around the pin from a second transverse spar of the buckle body which is at a smaller distance from the bearing axis of the pin than the first transverse spar.
