Abstract (en)

[origin: US2001029647A1] 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.
