Abstract
A belt buckle is provided with a waist belt outlet slot (1) for connecting with a waist belt beginning (6) and at least one inlet retainer (5) engaging in openings of the belt at the opposite waist belt inlet slot (2). As a result of the design of the central section of the belt buckle as an essentially flat element (3), which permits deflection toward the waist belt, which reaches in the section of the, or of each inlet retainer (5) at least their height, can, in spite of a simple design, prevent an opening that is against the will of the carrier.

- the belt defining a plurality of belt holes proximate the free end;
- the closure body defining an inlet slot for receiving the free end of the belt;
- the closure body comprising a frame and a retention element attached to the frame;
- the retention element being fixed to the frame, such that the retention element does not move with respect to the frame;
- the retention element being sized to occupy a corresponding one of the belt holes when the free end is inserted into the inlet slot;
- and
