Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of belt accessories technology, specifically to a belt buckle and belt that do not require interlocking. Background Technology

[0002] Belts evolved from the long-term practical experience of ethnic minorities in northern China. They were not only used to fasten robes but also to hang various items used in production and daily life. With the rapid development of technology, belts have become more diverse in style, and a high-quality belt has become a symbol of status, while unique belt buckles are particularly eye-catching.

[0003] Currently, there are two main types of belt buckle fastening methods commonly found on the market: pin buckles and sliding buckles. Pin buckles are fastened by piercing a hole in the belt and engaging with a matching buckle. Sliding buckles are fastened by a plastic sliding clip on the inside of the belt end, which also engages with a matching buckle. Both require finding the end of the belt (the movable end of the belt body) before putting it on, then threading the belt through the buckle and securing it with either a pin or a sliding clip, which is time-consuming. Furthermore, when unfastening the belt, pin buckles require both hands to retract the belt end to remove the pin from the hole before the belt can be completely pulled away from the buckle, making it impossible to quickly unfasten the belt and separate it from the buckle with one hand.

[0004] In view of the problems encountered in the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model is obtained. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a belt buckle and belt that do not require threading. With this invention, the middle part of the belt can be directly fastened to the belt buckle to complete the belt wearing process, and the belt can also be quickly unfastened with one hand.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A non-interlocking belt buckle includes a belt post for connecting a fixed end of a belt body and at least one limiting post for limiting the movable end of the belt body. A receiving groove for accommodating the belt body is formed between the belt post and the limiting post. The side wall of the receiving groove is provided with a notch for the belt body to enter and exit the receiving groove. A fixing structure for fixing the position of the belt body is provided on the belt post.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the belt buckle is an approximately ring-shaped structure, consisting of limiting posts and belt posts located on its left and right sides, and connecting posts located on its upper and lower sides. The interior of the approximately ring-shaped structure is a receiving groove for accommodating the belt body. A notch for the belt body to enter and exit is opened on one of the three sides of the receiving groove other than the belt posts (the fixed end of the belt post that connects to the belt body should not have a notch). Preferably, the notch is opened in the upper left corner of the receiving groove. Finally, a fixing mechanism for fixing the belt body is provided on the belt post.

[0009] A non-threaded belt includes the aforementioned belt buckle and belt body. The fixed end of the belt body is connected to a belt post, and the movable end of the belt body is connected to the belt buckle through a fixing structure when the belt is worn.

[0010] When fastening a belt, hold the top and bottom ends of the buckle with your left hand. Your right hand doesn't need to find the end of the belt; simply select the approximate position where you want to fasten the belt and hold it there. Slightly tilt the upper end of the belt in your right hand forward and place it above the buckle. Insert the lower end of the belt into the receiving groove through the notch. Then, switch hands, holding the movable end of the belt with your left hand and the top and bottom ends of the buckle with your right hand. Pull the belt to the desired tightness with your left hand, and then use the fixing mechanism to secure the belt in the buckle. By creating a notch on the side wall of the receiving groove, the existing ring-shaped structure of the buckle, which is separate inside and out, is transformed into a near-ring-shaped structure with open inside and out. Therefore, the belt body can directly enter and exit through the notch without needing to be threaded through, eliminating the time spent finding the end of the belt and the process of threading it through, thus saving time and effort.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the notch is located at the upper or lower end of the receiving groove. The notch can be located on the three side walls of the receiving groove other than the belt post, preferably at the upper or lower end of the receiving groove, and of course, the optimal choice is to locate it at the upper left corner of the receiving groove.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the belt post includes at least two reinforcing ribs, and the fixing structure is disposed on at least one reinforcing rib. The belt post includes at least two reinforcing ribs, which may or may not be arranged parallel to each other; the fixing structure may be disposed on one reinforcing rib near or away from the limiting post, or it may be disposed on both reinforcing ribs simultaneously.

[0013] Preferably, the fixing structure includes a buckle pin rotatably connected to the reinforcing rib for fixing to the belt body, the end of the buckle pin extending outward to overlap the limiting post. As an alternative fixing structure, to ensure that the buckle pin does not naturally slip out of the opening that mates with the belt when fixing the belt body, the buckle pin should be designed with one end rotatably connected to the reinforcing rib and the other end overlapping the limiting post.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting post has a groove for engaging with the buckle pin. To reduce the lateral movement of the buckle pin after it engages with the limiting post, a groove for engaging with the buckle pin is provided on the limiting post, and the depth of the groove should be adapted to the thickness of the buckle pin.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that a gripper is provided at one end of the belt post near the notch. In order to ensure greater comfort when using the belt buckle of this application, a gripper is provided at one end of the belt post near the notch. When the notch is located at the upper left corner of the receiving groove, the gripper is also located at the upper end of the belt buckle. The gripper is mostly in contact with the thumb in use, so it is more appropriate to design it as an arc shape with high ends and low middle.

[0016] Preferably, the fixing structure is a snap-fit ​​foot set on the reinforcing rib. As another option for the fixing structure, the snap-fit ​​foot is directly fixed to the reinforcing rib, eliminating the need for additional processing and assembly like a buckle pin, thus reducing the likelihood of belt buckle malfunctions.

[0017] This invention is further configured such that both the front and rear ends of the belt buckle are arc-shaped surfaces, and the thickness of the front and rear ends decreases from the belt post to the limiting post. The arc-shaped front end of the belt buckle reduces friction between the belt body and the buckle when fastening the belt, requiring less effort and resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance after fastening. The arc-shaped rear end of the belt buckle ensures a closer fit to the body. The decreasing thickness of the front and rear ends of the belt buckle from the belt post to the limiting post facilitates easier disengagement of the belt body from the buckle when unfastening the belt with one hand, improving the user experience.

[0018] Preferably, when the movable end of the belt body is connected to the belt buckle, the upper end of the belt body protrudes beyond the notch of the belt buckle. After the belt is worn, the lower end face of the belt body abuts against the lower inner side of the receiving groove, and the upper end face of the belt body is slightly higher than the notch of the belt buckle. This arrangement, where the width of the belt body is slightly higher than the height of the receiving groove, helps the belt slide out of the receiving groove more easily when unfastening it.

[0019] In summary, compared with the prior art, the above-described technical solution conceived by this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The belt buckle is a near-ring-shaped structure with a notch, so that the belt body can go in and out directly through the notch without having to thread it through, eliminating the need to find the end of the belt when putting it on, thus saving more time and effort.

[0021] 2. The near-ring-shaped belt buckle, combined with the two fixing structures of this application (buckle pin or buckle foot), enables the belt to be quickly unbuckled with one hand. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand how to practice this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in conjunction with its preferred embodiments, these embodiments are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, a non-interlocking belt buckle and belt are disclosed. The belt buckle 1 includes a belt post 11 for connecting the fixed end 21 of the belt body 2 and at least one limiting post 12 for limiting the movable end 22 of the belt body 2. A receiving groove 13 for accommodating the belt body 2 is formed between the belt post 11 and the limiting post 12. The side wall of the receiving groove 13 is provided with a notch 131 for the belt body 2 to enter and exit the receiving groove 13. The belt post 11 is provided with a fixing structure (141, 142) for fixing the position of the belt body 2.

[0033] The existing buckle 141 type belt buckle 1 has a ring structure. The belt buckle 1 of this solution has an approximately ring structure, consisting of limiting posts 12 and belt posts 11 located on its left and right sides, and connecting posts located on its upper and lower sides. The interior of the approximately ring structure is a receiving groove 13 for accommodating the belt body 2. A notch 131 for the belt body 2 to enter and exit is opened on one of the three sides of the receiving groove 13 other than the belt posts 11 (it is not advisable to open the notch 131 on the fixing end 21 of the belt body 2 connected to the belt post 11). Preferably, the notch 131 is opened at the upper left corner of the receiving groove 13. Finally, a fixing mechanism for fixing the belt body 2 is provided on the belt post 11. By providing a notch 131 on the side wall of the receiving groove 13, the belt body 2 can directly enter and exit through the notch 131 without being inserted, eliminating the time spent finding the end of the belt and the process of inserting the end of the belt when wearing it, which is more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0034] Among the preferred options are, for example, Figure 1 As shown, the notch 131 is located at the upper or lower end of the receiving groove 13. The notch 131 can be located on the three side walls of the receiving groove 13 other than the belt post 11. When the notch 131 is located on the limiting post 12, the width of the notch 131 can only be set to be slightly wider than the thickness of the belt body 2, otherwise it will lose its function of limiting the belt body 2. However, a notch 131 of this width is not convenient for the belt to get stuck in the receiving groove 13 when fastening the belt. Therefore, the notch 131 is located at the upper or lower end of the receiving groove 13. Of course, the optimal choice is to locate it at the upper left corner of the receiving groove 13.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, the belt post 11 includes at least two reinforcing ribs 111, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 6As shown, the fixing structure is provided on at least one reinforcing rib 111. The belt post 11 includes at least two reinforcing ribs 111, which may or may not be parallel to each other. The fixing structure can be provided on one reinforcing rib 111 near or away from the limiting post 12. When the fixing structure is a snap-fit ​​foot 142, it can also be provided on both reinforcing ribs 111 simultaneously. When the fixing structure is a buckle pin 141, preferably, the fixing structure is rotatably connected to one reinforcing rib 111 away from the limiting post 12. When the buckle pin 141 is in the fixed belt body 2, the reinforcing rib 111 near the limiting post 12 can abut against the middle of the buckle pin 141, thereby reinforcing the buckle pin 141 and enabling it to firmly fix the belt body 2. At the same time, in order to prevent the belt post 11 from being deformed or even destroyed under stress during operation, the number of reinforcing ribs 111 can be three or more, and providing more reinforcing ribs 111 can strengthen the belt post 11. Similarly, while improving the strength of the belt post 11, a thickened part 18 can also be provided on the limiting post 12 and the connecting post (between the belt post 11 and the limiting post 12) to improve the overall strength of the belt buckle 1.

[0036] Furthermore, the fixing structure includes a buckle 141 rotatably connected to the reinforcing rib 111 for fixing to the belt body 2, the end of the buckle 141 extending outward to overlap the limiting post 12. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, as an option for fixing structure, in order to ensure that the buckle 141 does not naturally slip out of the opening that matches the buckle when fixing the belt body 2, the buckle 141 should be designed with one end rotatably connected to the reinforcing rib 111 and the other end overlapping the limiting post 12.

[0037] Furthermore, the limiting post 12 is provided with a groove 121 that mates with the buckle pin 141. For example... Figure 3 As shown, in order to reduce the left and right swaying of the pin 141 after it is attached to the limiting post 12, a groove 121 that cooperates with the pin 141 is provided on the limiting post 12, and the depth of the groove 121 should also be adapted to the thickness of the pin 141.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, the belt post 11 is provided with a gripper 15 at one end near the notch 131. Figure 1 As shown, in order to make the use of the belt buckle 1 of this application more comfortable, a gripper 15 is provided at one end of the belt post 11 near the notch 131. When the notch 131 is located at the upper left corner of the receiving groove 13, the gripper 15 is also located at the upper end of the belt buckle 1. The gripper 15 is mostly in contact with the thumb in the use state, so it is more appropriate to set it as an arc shape with high ends and low middle.

[0039] Among the preferred options are, for example, Figure 2As shown, both the front and rear ends of the belt buckle 1 are arc surfaces 16, and the thickness of the front and rear ends decreases from the belt post 11 to the limiting post 12. Setting the front end of the belt buckle 1 as an arc surface 16 reduces friction between the belt body 2 and the belt buckle 1 when fastening the belt, making it less strenuous and more aesthetically pleasing. Setting the rear end of the belt buckle 1 as an arc surface 16 allows the belt buckle 1 to fit more closely to the human body. Setting the thickness of the front and rear ends of the belt buckle 1 to decrease from the belt post 11 to the limiting post 12 helps the belt body 2 to more easily detach from the belt buckle 1 when unfastening the belt with one hand, improving the user experience.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the movable end 22 of the belt body 2 is connected to the belt buckle 1, the upper end of the belt body 2 protrudes from the notch 131 of the belt buckle 1. After the belt is worn, the lower end face of the belt body 2 abuts against the lower inner side of the receiving groove 13, and the upper end face of the belt body 2 is slightly higher than the notch 131 of the belt buckle 1. This arrangement, where the width of the belt body 2 is slightly higher than the height of the receiving groove 13, helps the belt slide more easily out of the receiving groove 13 when unbuckling. Meanwhile, as... Figure 1 As shown, the rounded corner 17 at the end of the limiting post 12 also serves to make it easier for the belt to slip out when unwinding.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, in Example 2, the difference from Example 1 is that a different fixing structure, the buckle foot 142, is used instead of the buckle pin 141. As another option for the fixing structure, the buckle foot 142 is directly fixed to the reinforcing rib 111, without the need for additional processing and assembly like the buckle pin 141, thus reducing the probability of the belt buckle 1 malfunctioning. In order to ensure that the buckle foot 142 can cooperate with the opening on the belt body 2, so that the belt body 2 can be fixed by the belt buckle 1 and can be easily disengaged from the buckle foot 142 when the belt is unfastened, the number, cross-sectional shape, and height of the buckle foot 142 need to be coordinated. As an option, but not the optimal option, two approximately elliptical cross-sectional shapes can be set on the upper and lower edges of the reinforcing rib 111 near the limiting post 12, and the height of the buckle foot 142 is slightly higher than the thickness of the belt body 2.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, compared with Example 2, in Example 3, two limiting posts 12 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the belt post 11 of the belt buckle 1. This structural arrangement of the belt buckle 1 has a more symmetrical aesthetic than that of Example 2. Of course, this symmetrical arrangement of the limiting posts 12 can also be applied to the technical solution of Example 1.

[0045] In summary, the usage process of the belt buckle of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] Fastening the belt: Hold the top and bottom ends of the belt buckle 1 with your left hand. Without searching for the end of the belt, directly select the approximate position to fasten the belt with your right hand and hold it there. Slightly tilt the upper end of the belt in your right hand forward and place it above the belt buckle 1. Insert the lower end of the belt in your right hand into the receiving groove 13 through the notch 131. Then, hold the movable end 22 of the belt with your left hand and the top and bottom ends of the belt buckle 1 with your right hand. Pull the belt to the appropriate tightness with your left hand, and then use the fixing mechanism to secure the belt in the belt buckle 1. In Embodiment 3, the belt buckle 1 has two receiving grooves 13 and two notches 131 because of the symmetrical arrangement of two limiting posts 12. Therefore, when fastening the belt, first insert the belt into the receiving groove 13 near the fixed end 21 of the belt body 2. Otherwise, it is no different from Embodiments 1 and 2.

[0047] Unfastening the belt: Grasp the movable end 22 of the belt body 2 and pull it to the side of your arm. After the through hole on the belt body 2 is disengaged from the fixing mechanism, lift the belt body 2 upward or press it back down with your hand. The belt buckle 1 will slide down naturally under the action of gravity. The belt body 2 will pass through the notch 131 of the receiving groove 13, thus completing the unfastening of the belt with one hand.

[0048] By providing a notch 131 on the side wall of the receiving groove 13, the ring structure of the belt buckle 1, which is separated inside and outside in the prior art, is transformed into an approximately ring structure with the inside and outside connected. Therefore, the belt body 2 can directly enter and exit through the notch 131 without having to insert it, eliminating the time spent searching for the end of the belt and the process of inserting the end of the belt when wearing it, saving more time and effort, and also allowing the belt to be quickly untied with one hand.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
