Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a belt for clothing. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, as disclosed in the following Patent Document 1, a belt with a buckle that can be attached and detached with one touch has been known. This belt has a male plate body (2) at one end of the belt body and a female plate body (3) at the other end of the belt body. A hook member (f) is provided on the engagement plate portion (6) of the male plate body (2), while a hook receiving hole (r) is formed in the engagement plate portion (11) of the female plate body (3). The hook member (f) of the male plate body (2) can be engaged with the hook receiving hole (r) of the female plate body (3) to tighten the belt. By engaging and disengaging between the male plate body (2) and the female plate body (3), damage to the belt body can be suppressed.

[0003] However, in the conventional technology, when the male plate is engaged with the female plate, the hook member is exposed on the back side of the female plate, which means that when putting on or taking off the belt, the hook member may rub against or get caught in clothing (such as trousers), potentially damaging the clothing.

[0004] In addition, in the conventional technology, the female plate body can only be provided at the end of the belt body, and the female plate body cannot be provided in the middle of the belt. Therefore, the design of the belt is limited. In addition, the tightness of the belt cannot be adjusted, and it is not possible to loosen the belt a little when you are full, for example.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Next, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0024] Fig. 1 to Fig. 9 are schematic diagrams showing a belt according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1 is a front view showing both end pieces 4, 5 of the belt, with the middle part of the belt omitted. Fig. 2 to Fig. 4 are diagrams showing the base end piece 4 of the belt, and Fig. 5 to Fig. 7 are diagrams showing the tip end piece 5 of the belt. Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 are cross-sectional views showing the attachment and detachment of both end pieces 4, 5 of the belt.

[0025] The base end 4a of the belt (or belt body 1) refers to the end (one of the longitudinal ends of the belt) that is located on the inside (closer to the body) when the belt is fastened, and the tip end 5a of the belt (or belt body 1) refers to the end (the other longitudinal end of the belt) that is located on the outside when the belt is fastened. The base end piece 4 of the belt (or belt body 1) refers to the set area from the base end 4a of the belt (the area including the location where the receiver 2 is provided), and the tip piece 5 of the belt (or belt body 1) refers to the set area from the tip end 5a of the belt (the area including the location where the fastener 3 is provided).

[0026] Furthermore, when the belt is used, the surface that is placed on the inside (towards the body) is called the back side R, and the surface that is placed on the outside is called the front side O. When fastening the belt, the belt is wrapped so that it is doubled inside and outside in some places, and even in those places, there is a front side O and a back side R for both the inside and outside. In other words, the belt is wrapped so that the back side R of the outer belt (tip piece 5) overlaps with the front side O of the inner belt (base end piece 4) inside the doubled inside and outside part.

[0027] The belt of this embodiment is a clothing belt used with men's (or women's) trousers, etc. As shown in Fig. 1, the belt of this embodiment comprises a belt-shaped belt body 1, a receiving device 2 provided on the base end side (base end piece 4) of the belt body 1, and a fastener 3 provided on the tip end side (tip piece 5) of the belt body 1.

[0028] In the illustrated example, five receiving devices 2 are provided on a base end piece 4 of a belt body 1. Although omitted in Fig. 1, the base end piece 4 on which the receiving devices 2 are provided and the tip piece 5 on which the fasteners 3 are provided are connected by the belt body 1. The receiving devices 2 and fasteners 3 are not provided in the portions of the belt body 1 that are omitted in Fig. 1.

[0029] The belt body 1 is a belt-like member, and the cross section cut in the width direction is a flat, approximately rectangular shape (in other words, a thick, linear shape). The belt body 1 is made of a flexible material. The belt body 1 is typically made of natural leather, but may be made of synthetic leather or other materials in some cases. Both longitudinal ends 4a, 5a of the belt body 1 are approximately triangular in the illustrated example, but may be rectangular or have other shapes in some cases.

[0030] 2 to 4 are perspective views showing the base end piece 4 of the belt. Fig. 2 shows the state before the receiving device 2 is fitted to the belt body 1, and Fig. 3 shows the state after the receiving device 2 is fitted to the belt body 1, both viewed from the front side O of the belt. Meanwhile, Fig. 4 shows the state in which the receiving device 2 is fixed to the belt body 1, and shows the state viewed from the back side R of the belt. Note that Fig. 2 shows only one receiving device 2, and the other receiving devices 2 are omitted and indicated by "."

[0031] In the illustrated example, five receivers 2 are provided at intervals (gaps) on the base end piece 4 of the belt body 1, but the number of receivers 2 can be changed as appropriate. For example, the number of receivers 2 may be one, three, or six. In the illustrated example, the receiver 2 is not provided on the base end 4a of the belt body 1, but receivers 2 of the same shape are provided at equal intervals from a position slightly away from the base end 4a. However, depending on the case, the receiver 2 may be provided on the base end 4a of the belt body 1 so that the base end 4a of the belt body 1 is hidden. In that case, the base end 4a of the belt body 1 may be left substantially rectangular. The belt body 1 may be provided with a desired number of receivers 2 at equal intervals from the base end 4a. Depending on the case, the receivers 2 may be provided at different intervals rather than at equal intervals. In any case, typically, at least one receiver 2 of the same configuration is fixed to the belt body 1 as follows.

[0032] In this embodiment, the receiver 2 is made of a metal such as stainless steel. In the illustrated example, the receiver 2 is formed in a substantially rectangular flat tube shape that is slightly larger than the cross section of the belt body 1. That is, the receiver 2 has a substantially rectangular hollow hole 6 through which the belt body 1 passes, and the belt body 1 fits into the hollow hole 6. Then, when the belt body 1 is passed through the receiver 2, the receiver 2 is disposed so as to surround the belt body 1 in the width direction in a part of the longitudinal direction of the belt body 1. That is, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the receiver 2 is provided so as to cover the front surface O, the back surface R, and the side surface S of the belt body 1 in a part of the longitudinal direction of the belt body 1.

[0033] The receiver 2 has a hook insertion hole 7 formed in a wall (upper surface in FIG. 2) that is overlapped with the front side O of the belt body 1. In this embodiment, two hook insertion holes 7 are formed in parallel, spaced apart in a direction corresponding to the width direction of the belt body 1. Each hook insertion hole 7 has the same shape (size), extends in a direction corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the belt body 1, and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape. The receiver 2 does not have a hook insertion hole 7 formed in a wall (lower surface in FIG. 2, upper surface in FIG. 4) that is overlapped with the back side R of the belt body 1. However, a screw insertion hole 8 is formed in the center of the wall that is overlapped with the back side of the belt body 1, as shown in FIG. 4.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 2, hook engagement holes 9 are formed in the base end piece 4 of the belt body 1 at positions corresponding to the hook insertion holes 7 of the receiver 2 when the receiver 2 is provided on the belt body 1. The hook engagement holes 9 are formed in a substantially rectangular shape, penetrating the belt body 1 in the thickness direction. The width dimension of the hook engagement holes 9 (dimension along the width direction of the belt body 1) corresponds to or is slightly larger than the width dimension of the hook insertion holes 7. The hook insertion holes 7 and the hook engagement holes 9 are fixed with their longitudinal ends (ends on the tip side of the belt body 1) 7a, 9a aligned, and in this state, the hook engagement holes 9 are formed to extend toward the base end side of the belt body 1 beyond the other end 7b of the hook insertion hole 7.

[0035] A pilot screw hole 10 is formed in the base end piece 4 of the belt body 1 at a position corresponding to the screw insertion hole 8 of the receiver 2 when the receiver 2 is provided on the belt body 1. This pilot screw hole 10 is also formed penetrating the belt body 1 in the thickness direction. The diameter of the pilot screw hole 10 is formed to be smaller than that of a set screw 11 described later.

[0036] The belt body 1 has the above-mentioned hook engagement holes 9 and screw pilot holes 10 formed in accordance with the number and positions of the receivers 2 to be attached thereto. The receivers 2 are then fixed to the belt body 1 in the manner described below.

[0037] The receiver 2 is fixed to the belt body 1 as follows. That is, the base end piece 4 of the belt body 1 is passed through the hollow hole 6 of the receiver 2, and the receiver 2 is placed at a predetermined position. The predetermined position is a position where one longitudinal end 9a of the hook engagement hole 9 of the belt body 1 corresponds to one longitudinal end 7a of the hook insertion hole 7 of the receiver 2 (FIG. 8). In this state, the entire hook insertion hole 7 is placed in correspondence with the hook engagement hole 9, and the hook engagement hole 9 extends a set dimension toward the other longitudinal end side from the hook insertion hole 7. Also, the screw pilot hole 10 of the belt body 1 and the screw insertion hole 8 of the receiver 2 are placed in correspondence with each other.

[0038] With the receiver 2 placed at a predetermined position on the belt body 1, as shown in Fig. 4, the receiver 2 is fixed to the belt body 1 from the back side of the belt body 1 by a set screw 11. The set screw 11 in this embodiment is a hexagonal socket set screw, which is passed through the screw insertion hole 8 of the receiver 2 and screwed into the screw pilot hole 10 of the belt body 1. The set screw 11 is screwed in until the tip of the set screw 11 abuts against the inner surface of the wall on the front side of the receiver 2 (the inner surface of the hollow hole 6). In this state, the base end of the set screw 11 is placed in the screw insertion hole 8 of the receiver 2, but it is preferable that it does not protrude beyond the screw insertion hole 8.

[0039] The base end of the set screw 11 may be flush with the outer surface of the back side of the receiver 2, or may be disposed so as to be somewhat recessed. In either case, the set screw 11 is screwed into the belt body 1, and a part of the set screw 11 is disposed in the screw insertion hole 8 of the receiver 2, thereby fixing the receiver 2 to the belt body 1. It is preferable that the inner diameter of the screw insertion hole 8 and the outer diameter of the set screw 11 are approximately matched, and the set screw 11 is disposed so that the base end of the set screw 11 fits into the screw insertion hole 8.

[0040] 5 to 7 are perspective views showing the end piece 5 of the belt. Fig. 5 shows the state before the fastener 3 is attached to the belt body 1, and Fig. 6 shows the state after the fastener 3 is attached to the belt body 1, both viewed from the front side O of the belt. Meanwhile, Fig. 7 shows the state in which the fastener 3 is fixed to the belt body 1, viewed from the back side R of the belt.

[0041] The fastener 3 is provided on the tip piece 5 of the belt body 1. In the illustrated example, the fastener 3 is not provided on the tip 5a of the belt body 1, but is provided at a position slightly separated therefrom. However, in some cases, the fastener 3 may be provided on the tip 5a of the belt body 1 so that the tip 5a of the belt body 1 is hidden. In that case, the tip 5a of the belt body 1 may be left substantially rectangular.

[0042] In this embodiment, the fastener 3 is made of a metal such as stainless steel. The fastener 3 in this embodiment includes a base plate 12 as a wall body that is overlapped on the back surface R side of the belt body 1. The width dimension of the base plate 12 is slightly larger than the width dimension of the belt body 1. As shown in Figs. 5 and 7, the base plate 12 is made of a substantially rectangular plate material. However, one corner of the substantially rectangular plate material (one end portion in the width direction on the base end side of the belt body 1) is cut off to form an oblique side 12a.

[0043] The base plate 12 is provided with one or more belt holding portions 13. In the illustrated example, three belt holding portions 13 are provided. Each belt holding portion 13 holds the belt main body 1 by sandwiching it between itself and the base plate 12. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the belt holding portion 13 is provided at one end portion in the width direction of the base plate 12 (the end portion on the side where the oblique side 12a is provided) and at the center portion in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 12. In addition, the belt holding portions 13 are provided at the other end portion in the width direction of the base plate 12 (the end portion on the side where the oblique side 12a is not provided) and at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 12.

[0044] Each belt holding portion 13 is formed from a plate material having a substantially L-shape. That is, the belt holding portion 13 is formed into a substantially L-shape by a plate-like one piece 13a and another piece 13b. The one piece 13a is a substantially rectangular plate material disposed along a side edge of the base plate 12 and protruding slightly from the surface of the base plate 12. The other piece 13b is a substantially rectangular plate material connected to the protruding tip of the one piece 13a and extending in the width direction of the base plate 12 in parallel with the base plate 12.

[0045] The belt body 1 is fitted between the base plate 12 and each belt holding portion 13. In other words, the belt body 1 is sandwiched between the base plate 12 and the other piece 13b of the belt holding portion 13, and is sandwiched and held between the pieces 13a of the belt holding portions 13 on both sides of the base plate 12 in the width direction.

[0046] The fastener 3 is provided with hooks 14 corresponding to the hook insertion holes 7 of the receiver 2 (and the hook engagement holes 9 of the belt body 1). In this embodiment, two hooks 14 are provided on the back surface of the fastener 3, spaced apart in the width direction of the fastener 3, corresponding to the two hook insertion holes 7 provided in the receiver 2, spaced apart in the width direction of the receiver 2. The hooks 14 have the same shape (size) and are arranged in parallel.

[0047] Each hook 14 is formed in a substantially L-shape by a first piece 14a protruding from the base plate 12 and a second piece 14b connected to the tip of the first piece 14a. That is, as shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the first piece 14a of the hook 14 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape protruding from the back surface of the base plate 12, and the second piece 14b is connected to one side of the extended tip so as to extend toward the base end side of the belt body 1. The corner of the extended tip of the second piece 14b (corner on the base plate 12 side) is preferably cut out to form an inclined surface. As can be seen from Fig. 8, in the illustrated example, the base end of the first piece 14a is fitted into a hole 12b formed in the base plate 12 and fixed by welding.

[0048] As shown in Fig. 7, the base plate 12 of the fastener 3 has screw insertion holes 15 formed in two locations spaced apart in the longitudinal direction in the center of the width direction. Meanwhile, the tip piece 5 of the belt body 1 has a screw pilot hole 16 formed at a position corresponding to the screw insertion hole 15 of the fastener 3 when the fastener 3 is provided on the belt body 1. This screw pilot hole 16 is formed penetrating the belt body 1 in the thickness direction. The diameter of the screw pilot hole 16 is formed to be smaller than that of a set screw 17 described later.

[0049] The fastener 3 is fixed to the belt body 1 as follows. That is, the tip piece 5 of the belt body 1 is passed through the gap between the base plate 12 of the fastener 3 and each belt holding portion 13, and the fastener 3 is placed at a predetermined position. The predetermined position is the position where the screw pilot hole 16 of the belt body 1 and the screw insertion hole 15 of the fastener 3 correspond to each other.

[0050] With the fastener 3 placed at a predetermined position on the belt body 1, as shown in Fig. 7, the fastener 3 is fixed to the belt body 1 from the back side R of the belt body 1 by a setscrew 17. The setscrew 17 in this embodiment is a hexagonal socket setscrew, which is passed through the screw insertion hole 15 of the fastener 3 and screwed into the screw pilot hole 16 of the belt body 1. The setscrew 17 is screwed in until the tip of the setscrew 17 abuts against the other piece 13b of the belt holding part 13. In this state, the base end of the setscrew 17 is placed in the screw insertion hole 15 of the fastener 3, but it is preferable that it does not protrude beyond the screw insertion hole 15.

[0051] The base end of the set screw 17 may be flush with the outer surface of the back side R of the fastener 3, or may be disposed so as to be somewhat recessed. In either case, the set screw 17 is screwed into the belt body 1, and a part of the set screw 17 is disposed in the screw insertion hole 15 of the fastener 3, thereby fixing the fastener 3 to the belt body 1. It is preferable that the inner diameter of the screw insertion hole 15 and the outer diameter of the set screw 17 are approximately matched, and the set screw 17 is disposed so that the base end of the set screw 17 fits into the screw insertion hole 15.

[0052] 8, the length A of the hook 14 (the dimension along the longitudinal direction of the belt body 1) is shorter than the length B of the hook insertion hole 7 of the receiver 2. The length C of the second piece 14b of the hook 14 is approximately equal to the extension dimension D of the hook engagement hole 9 relative to the hook insertion hole 7. The height E of the second piece 14b of the hook 14 (the dimension along the thickness direction of the belt body 1) is slightly smaller than the thickness F of the belt body 1. The distance G between the second piece 14b of the hook 14 and the rear surface of the base plate 12 is slightly larger than the thickness H of the wall on the front side of the receiver 2. The width of the hook 14 (the dimension along the width direction of the belt body 1) is approximately equal to the width of the hook insertion hole 7 of the receiver 2.

[0053] 8 and 9 are cross-sectional views showing the attachment and detachment state of the base end piece 4 and the tip end piece 5 of the belt. In other words, cross-sectional views showing the engagement and detachment state of the fastener 3 of the tip end piece 5 with the receiving tool 2 of the base end piece 4. In Fig. 8, the right side of the tip end piece 5 shown on the upper side is the tip side of the belt body 1, and the left side of the base end piece 4 shown on the lower side is the base end side of the belt body 1.

[0054] When fastening the belt, the fastener 3 provided on the distal end piece 5 may be engaged with a desired one of the multiple receivers 2 provided on the proximal end piece 4. The engagement of the fastener 3 with the receiver 2 may be performed as follows. That is, the hook 14 of the fastener 3 is inserted from the hook insertion hole 7 of the receiver 2, and the back surface R of the fastener 3 is abutted against the front surface O of the receiver 2. In this state, the second piece 14b of the hook 14 is disposed in the hook engagement hole 9 of the belt body 1 in the receiver 2. Then, the fastener 3 (hook 14) may be moved relative to the receiver 2 toward the proximal end. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the front wall of the receiver 2 is disposed in the gap between the base plate 12 of the fastener 3 and the second piece 14b of the hook 14, and the fastener 3 can be engaged with the receiver 2. To release this engagement, the fastener 3 (hook 14) is moved toward the tip side with respect to the receiver 2 from the state shown in Fig. 9, and the hook 14 of the fastener 3 is removed to the outside from the hook insertion hole 7 of the receiver 2. In the example shown in Fig. 9, in addition to the receiver 2 engaged with the hook 14, another adjacent receiver 2 is also arranged on the back side of the fastener 3.

[0055] According to the belt of this embodiment, a receiver 2 and a fastener 3 are provided on the belt body 1, and the belt can be fastened or undone by engaging and disengaging the fastener 3 with the receiver 2. By engaging and disengaging between the metal receiver 2 provided on the belt body 1 and the fastener 3, damage to the belt body 1 can be prevented.

[0056] According to the belt of this embodiment, the belt body 1 is fitted and fixed in the substantially rectangular flat tubular receiver 2. The receiver 2 only needs to have a hook insertion hole 7 formed in the wall that is overlapped with the front side O of the belt body 1, and does not need to have a hook insertion hole 7 formed in the wall that is overlapped with the back side R of the belt body 1. Therefore, when the receiver 2 and the fastener 3 are engaged, the hook 14 is not exposed to the outside, and there is no risk of damaging clothing. Also, safety can be ensured.

[0057] According to the belt of this embodiment, the belt body 1 is fitted into the hollow hole 6 of the receiving device 2 and fixed thereto (i.e., the cross section of the hollow hole 6 matches the cross section of the belt body 1), so that the receiving device 2 can be fixed to the belt body 1 without any rattling.

[0058] According to the belt of this embodiment, the receiving device 2 can be provided at the base end 4a or midway of the base end piece 4 of the belt body 1. A plurality of receiving devices 2 can also be provided at positions spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the belt body 1. When a plurality of receiving devices 2 are provided on the belt body 1, the tightness of the belt can be adjusted by selecting which receiving device 2 the fastener 3 is engaged with.

[0059] According to the belt of this embodiment, the belt body 1 is fitted and fixed into the hollow hole of the fastener 3 (the gap between the base plate 12 and the belt holding part 13), so the fastener 3 can be fixed to the belt body 1 without any rattling. The fastener 3 can be provided at the tip or midway of the tip piece 5 of the belt body 1.

[0060] According to the belt of this embodiment, a hook engagement hole 9 is provided penetrating the belt body 1, continuing from the hook insertion hole 7 of the receiver 2. The hook 14 of the fastener 3 can be fitted into the hook engagement hole 9. By utilizing the hole provided in the belt body 1, the thickness of the receiver 2 can be reduced.

[0061] According to the belt of this embodiment, the fastener 3 is provided with hooks 14 spaced apart in parallel in the width direction, and hook insertion holes 7 and hook engagement holes 9 are formed on the receiver 2 side corresponding to each hook 14. By engaging with the receiver 2 with the hooks 14 provided at multiple points in the width direction, the fastener 3 can be held on the receiver 2 without rattling when the belt is fastened.

[0062] The belt of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate. In particular, (a) it is a belt for clothing, and includes a belt body 1 in the shape of a band, a receiving device 2 provided on the base end side of the belt body 1, and a fastener 3 provided on the tip side of the belt body 1, (b) the receiving device 2 is tubular and surrounds a part of the longitudinal direction of the belt body 1 in the width direction, and the belt body 1 is fitted and fixed, (c) the receiving device 2 has a hook insertion hole 7 formed in a wall layered on the front side of the belt body 1, (d) the belt body 1 has a hook engagement hole 9 corresponding to the hook insertion hole 7 at a position where the receiving device 2 is fixed, (e) the hook engagement hole 9 is formed to extend toward the base end side of the belt body 1 beyond the hook insertion hole 7, and (f) the fastener 3 is fixed to the belt body 1, and the wall layered on the back side of the belt body 1 has a hook 14 that can be engaged with and disengaged from the hook engagement hole 9, so long as other configurations are appropriately modified.

[0063] For example, so long as the receiver 2 has the belt insertion hole 6 and the hook insertion hole 7, the configuration and design may be changed.

[0064] The fastener 3 may be modified in configuration and design as long as it has the hook 14 and can be fixed to the belt body 1. For example, in the above embodiment, the fastener 3 is configured to pass the belt body 1 between the base plate 12 and the belt holding part 13, but it may be tubular, like the receiving tool 2, through which the belt body 1 passes.

[0065] A magnet may be provided on one or both of the receiving device 2 and the fastener 3 so that the receiving device 2 and the fastener 3 can be attached and detached by magnetic force in addition to the hook 14.

[0066] The receiving device 2 and the fastener 3 may be formed so that their cross sections are curved in an arc shape. Specifically, in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, the receiving device 2 and the fastener 3 may be formed so that their cross sections are curved in an upwardly convex arc shape. By forming the receiving device 2 and the fastener 3 so that they are curved in an arc shape, it is possible to improve the fit of the belt to the body when it is worn.

[0067] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an example was shown in which a plurality of receivers 2 are provided on the belt body 1 in order to adjust the length of the belt, but in some cases, a plurality of hook insertion holes 7 may be formed in the receiver 2 at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the belt. In other words, it may be possible to adjust the length of the belt by selecting which hook insertion hole 7 to use in the same receiver 2. In that case, hook engagement holes 9 are formed in the belt body 1 corresponding to each hook insertion hole 7. [Explanation of symbols]
