Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the belt of Patent Document 1, since the buckle is positioned on the belt body by pins and pin holes, the user cannot fasten the belt at the optimal position for himself at that time. In addition, the belt may dig in and cause discomfort when bending or after eating.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a belt for clothing that can position a buckle at a desired position on a body without using pins and pin holes.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a body that is belt-shaped and has elasticity in the longitudinal direction, a buckle having a frame portion and a shaft portion that connects opposite portions of the frame portion to form first and second openings in the frame portion. One end of the main body is rotatably attached to the shaft portion, When the other end of the main body is inserted into the first and second openings, the buckle is held at a desired position on the main body by the frictional force generated between the other end, the one end, and the buckle, A belt for clothing, characterized by the above.

[0007] In the belt for clothing of the present invention, it is preferable that the main body is made of a rubber material.

[0008] Also, in the belt for clothing of the present invention, it is preferable that the rubber material contains polyester and elastodiene.

Advantages of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, the buckle can be positioned at a desired position on the main body without using pins and pin holes. Therefore, the user can fasten the belt at the optimal belt position for themselves at that time. Also, since the main body has elasticity, the belt does not dig in even when bending or after eating, and naturally expands and contracts to fit the body, so there is no burden on the body.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, a typical embodiment of the belt for clothing according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that since the drawings are for conceptually explaining the present invention, for ease of understanding, dimensions, ratios, or numbers may be exaggerated or simplified as necessary, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0012] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the belt 1 for clothing according to the present embodiment will be described. The belt 1 for clothing includes a belt-shaped main body 2 and a buckle 3.

[0013] The main body 2 has substantially the same width and thickness from one end 21 to the other end 22 and extends in the longitudinal direction (see FIG. 2). However, since the main body 2 is made of a flexible material having elasticity such as a belt of various rubber fabrics, a belt of various fiber fabrics, or a laminate thereof, it can be wound as shown in FIG. 1.

[0014] A buckle 3 is attached to one end 21 of the main body 2. Here, a through buckle (also called a center buckle or a trench buckle) is used as the buckle 3, but it is not limited thereto.

[0015] The buckle 3 is composed of a frame portion 31 and a shaft portion 32. The frame portion 31 is substantially rectangular (however, it is not limited to a rectangular shape), and the shaft portion 32 connects the opposing portions of the frame portion 31. Therefore, two openings 33, 34 are formed in the frame portion 31 with the shaft portion 32 interposed therebetween. One end 21 of the main body 2 is wound around the shaft portion 32, whereby the main body 2 is rotatably attached to the buckle 3.

[0016] Note that no pin is provided on the buckle 3. Further, the buckle 3 is made of, for example, resin (however, it is not limited thereto and may be made of metal) and is lightweight.

[0017] Returning to the description of the main body 2, the main body 2 is composed of, for example, a belt of rubber fabric as described above and has elasticity. Qualitatively, the main body 2 only needs to have elasticity such that it does not dig into the user's abdomen even when bent or after a meal and fits the body.

[0018] The stretchability of the main body 2 can be appropriately adjusted within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. For example, when a load is applied in accordance with JIS L1096 B method, it may show an elongation of 10% to 30%, but those showing an elongation of 15% to 25% are preferable in order to surely obtain the effects of the present invention, and those showing an elongation of 17.5% to 20% are more preferable in order to more surely obtain the effects of the present invention.

[0019] Also, although not shown, there may be thin linear convex portions (or ridges) that extend continuously or discontinuously in a direction substantially perpendicular to the length direction on the surface portion (especially the surface portion in contact with the buckle 3). With such convex portions, frictional force can be more surely generated and retained between the buckle 3.

[0020] As the fabric constituting the main body 2, for example, a rubber-like belt fabric containing polyester and elastodiene can be preferably used. Among them, a fabric containing 75 to 80% of polyester and 20 to 25% of elastodiene is preferable. In this embodiment, a belt fabric (Art. 389 / 30.0) manufactured by Gevaert Bandweverij (Belgium) is used, and two fabrics are sewn together to obtain a desired thickness, flexibility, and stretchability.

[0021] Next, the wearing of the clothing belt 1 will be described. When wearing the clothing belt 1, the user first passes the other end 22 of the clothing belt 1 through the belt loop of the trousers. Then, the other end 22 is sequentially passed through the openings 33, 34 of the buckle 3, and the tightening degree is adjusted.

[0022] At this time, the vicinity of the buckle 3 of the main body 2 is substantially V-shaped when viewed from above, and the other end 22 (or the other end 22 side) contacts the inner surface of the frame portion 31 (that is, the edge portion forming the openings 33, 34) on the outer surface, and also contacts the one end 21 wound around the shaft portion 32 on the inner surface (see Fig. 3). When attempting to pull out the main body 2 from the buckle 3 in this state, due to the elasticity (rubber elasticity) of the main body 2, frictional forces act between the main body 2 and the buckle 3 and between the main bodies 2, resisting the force to pull out the main body 2.

[0023] That is, the buckle 3 is held at a desired position on the main body 2 by the frictional force therebetween and does not require a pin and a pin hole or other holding mechanisms. Therefore, the clothing belt 1 can be easily attached and detached or adjusted steplessly, and the user can obtain a proper holding feeling.

[0024] Also, since the clothing belt 1 is made of a rubber material, it has elasticity and is easy to remove. In this regard, a belt without elasticity will shift when moving and is difficult to remove when fastened firmly.

[0025] Furthermore, since the clothing belt 1 has elasticity, it does not dig into the user's abdomen even when bending or after a meal, and naturally stretches and contracts to fit the body, so there is no burden on the body.

[0026] Also, since the clothing belt 1 does not have belt holes, the user can firmly fasten the clothing belt 1 in their best position at that time.

[0027] Also, the clothing belt 1 can be easily attached and detached with one hand. That is, as a result of the main body 2 having elasticity and an appropriate frictional force, the clothing belt 1 stretches and contracts to reduce the burden on the body in daily life (the buckle 3 is also held without much shifting), while it can be easily loosened with one hand.

[0028] Although the representative embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these only, and various design changes are possible, and all such design-changed aspects are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
