Abstract
A buckle for a pair of band sections connected to an object at a pair of opposite positions for wearing the object on a user's body includes a frame connected to one band section, a length adjustment chain connected to the other band, a chain folding-back shaft for folding back the chain, and a folding-back shaft position adjuster for moving the position of the folding-back shaft adjustably. When the position of the shaft is changed in the length direction of the frame, the position where the chain is folded back by the shaft changes and a distance between both the band sections is adjusted.

A buckle for a pair of band sections connected at one end to an object at a pair of opposite positions for wearing the object on a user's body, the buckle comprising:
- a frame having a length connected at one end to one of the pair of band sections;
- a length adjustment chain connected at one end to the other end of the frame and at the other end to the other end of the other band;
- a chain folding-back shaft movable within the frame in its length direction for folding back the length adjustment chain within the frame in its length direction so as to extend outward from the other end of the frame;
- and
- a folding-back shaft position adjuster connected to the folding-back shaft so as to be movable within the frame in the length direction of the frame for adjusting the position of the folding-back shaft within the frame in the length direction of the frame.
A device to be worn on a user's body, comprising:
- an object;
- a pair of band sections connected at one end to the object at a pair of opposite positions for wearing the object on a user's body;
- and
- a buckle for connecting the other ends of the pair of bands, the buckle comprising:
- a frame having a length connected at one end to one of the pair of band sections;
- a length adjustment chain connected at one end to the other end of the frame and at the other end to the other end of the other band;
- a chain folding-back shaft movable within the frame in its length direction for folding back the length adjustment chain within the frame in its length direction so as to extend outward from the other end of the frame;
- and
- a folding-back shaft position adjuster connected to the folding-back shaft so as to be movable within the frame in the length direction of the frame for adjusting the position of the folding-back shaft within the frame in the length direction of the frame.
