Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a military belt with an auxiliary identification tag attached, and more specifically, to a military belt with an auxiliary identification tag attached, wherein an identification tag capable of identifying the identity of a fallen soldier in the event of a soldier's death during combat is printed on a buckle combined with a belt containing a non-flammable wire, thereby enabling identification of the wearer's identity under any circumstances, and allowing only the auxiliary identification tag attached to the buckle to be easily collected in emergency situations. Background Technology

[0002] Dog tags are metal or plastic identification tools worn by soldiers to identify their status. They are typically provided in the form of necklaces and contain information such as the soldier's name, blood type, and military serial number. These tags play a crucial role in rapidly verifying a soldier's identity during wartime.

[0003] Conventional identification tags are primarily worn by hanging them around the necks of soldiers, but this has the following problems.

[0004] First, there is a high probability that dog tags will detach from a soldier's body during combat or other wartime situations. Since soldiers operate in environments where they are likely to engage in strenuous physical activity or experience external impact, there is a risk that the straps of the tags worn around the neck will break or be lost. This can make it difficult to identify a soldier if they are killed in action.

[0005] Second, rapid retrieval is difficult due to the bulk and shape of the identification tags. Conventional necklace-type tags must be retrieved quickly in the event of a soldier's death or injury, but in the urgent environment of wartime, this task is cumbersome and time-consuming. In particular, the necklace type has limited accessibility and usability because it is worn in a fixed position.

[0006] In addition, its large size makes it inconvenient to carry when moving urgently, and there is a significant risk of loss.

[0007] Third, there is a risk of discomfort and injury when worn. Since dog tags are often made of metal, continuous contact with the wearer's skin can cause skin damage or discomfort due to friction. Furthermore, the way they are hung around the neck poses a potential risk of causing neck injuries during combat.

[0008] These problems cause serious difficulties in identifying soldiers during war or emergencies, and a new type of identification tag is needed to resolve this. Prior art literature

[0009] Registered Patent Publication No. 10-1167074 The problem to be solved

[0010] The present invention aims to provide a military belt with an auxiliary identification tag attached, wherein the identification tag, which can identify the identity of a soldier in the event of a soldier's death during combat, is printed on a buckle combined with a belt containing a non-flammable wire, thereby enabling the wearer's identity to be verified under any circumstances, and allowing only the auxiliary identification tag attached to the buckle to be easily collected in emergency situations.

[0011] Furthermore, the purpose is to provide a military belt that allows for easy identification of the deceased in wartime situations, as only the identification tag attached to the buckle can be recovered in the event of the wearer's death.

[0012] In addition, the objective of the present invention is to provide a military belt with an auxiliary identification tag attached, which can prevent allergies by blocking direct contact with the skin and prevent frequent damage to the identification tag caused by external impact of conventional identification tags. means of solving the problem

[0013] A military belt with an auxiliary identification tag attached according to the present invention comprises: a belt made of a combustible material, comprising a first layer and a second layer having opposing surfaces attached; a buckle comprising a first fixing part having a toothed hook for gripping and fixing the rear end of the belt, and a second fixing part having a pressure bar for compressing and fixing the leading end of the belt; and an auxiliary identification tag detachably fixed to one side of one surface of the buckle, wherein a wire made of a non-combustible material is interposed between the first layer and the second layer, and the wire comprises: a first wire part arranged in a straight line along one edge of the belt; a second wire part arranged in a straight line along the other edge of the belt facing the first wire part; and a third wire part arranged in a straight line along the rear edge of the belt connecting the first and second wire parts; wherein the wire comprises the first and second wire parts arranged at the leading end of the belt being compressed by the pressure bar of the second fixing part and fixed to the buckle.

[0014] The portion of the wire located at the rear of the belt and formed into a U-shape by the first to third wire sections is characterized by being engaged with the toothed hook of the first fixing section and fixed to the buckle.

[0015] According to another preferred feature of the present invention, the auxiliary identification tag has at least two or more connecting protrusions formed thereon.

[0016] According to another preferred feature of the present invention, the auxiliary identification tag is fixed to the buckle using a connecting projection.

[0017] According to another preferred feature of the present invention, the end of the rope is fixedly connected to the buckle by the toothed hook. Effects of the invention

[0018] A military belt with an auxiliary identification tag attached according to one embodiment of the present invention has a non-combustible wire embedded inside the belt. Even if the fabric or leather part of the belt is completely burned or destroyed by impact or heat, the wire remains wrapped around the wearer's waist, thereby preventing the buckle from detaching from the wearer's body. Consequently, even if the wearer suffers severe injury or death due to bombs or fires during wartime, the belt remains fastened around the wearer's waist, preventing the identification tag engraved on the buckle from falling off the wearer, thus enabling the function of identifying the injured or deceased to continue.

[0019] Furthermore, even if the wearer dies, living comrades can easily detach and carry the deceased wearer's identification tag, which has the advantage of making it easy to identify the deceased.

[0020] In addition, since the identification tag is inserted into and secured to the belt, direct contact with the skin is blocked, while allowing it to be carried at all times while wearing the military uniform. Furthermore, because the buckle is thicker than that of conventional identification tags, it effectively minimizes damage to the tag caused by external impact. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0022] Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below. However, embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various other forms, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

[0023] In addition, throughout the specification, the term 'includes' a component means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.

[0024] The military belt with an auxiliary identification tag attached according to the present invention is characterized by the fact that the identification tag is inserted and fixed on one or both sides of the buckle.

[0025] In the following description, X is defined as the length direction of the belt, Y is defined as the width direction of the belt and buckle, and Z is defined as the thickness direction of the belt and buckle. Also, based on Figure 6, when viewed in the X direction from the belt, the left side, where the U-shaped part of the wire is located, is defined as the rear of the belt, and the right side, which is the opposite side, is defined as the front of the belt.

[0026] A military belt with an auxiliary identification tag attached according to one embodiment includes a belt (100), a buckle (10), and an auxiliary identification tag (20). At this time, the buckle (10) is optionally equipped with a GPS so that the wearer's location can be remotely checked when necessary.

[0027] The present invention is characterized by having an auxiliary identification mark (20) attached to one end of one side of a buckle (10), preferably to the outer side where the belt is inserted. As shown in FIG. 1, the auxiliary identification mark (20) may have personal information (21) such as the wearer's name, military number, and blood type written on it, and is attached to one end of the buckle as shown in FIG. 2. Here, at least two connecting protrusions (21) are formed around the circumference of the auxiliary identification mark (20), so that the connecting protrusions (21) wrap around the buckle and are attached to form a shape as shown in FIG. 1.

[0028] In the event that the wearer dies during wartime, a comrade can easily verify the personal information of the deceased wearer by collecting only the wearer's auxiliary identification tag (20) from the buckle (10). Additionally, the auxiliary identification tag (20) is very small, making it very convenient for a comrade to carry in emergency situations such as wartime.

[0029] Of course, as shown in Fig. 1, personal information such as name, blood type, and military ID number may be written on the part of the buckle (10) where the auxiliary identification tag (20) is not attached, or a QR code may be printed so that personal information can be verified through the QR code in case of emergency.

[0030] In addition, an auxiliary plate (12-1) having a width smaller than the width of the outer plate (12) is formed at one end of the outer plate (12) of the buckle (10) to attach an auxiliary identification mark (20).

[0031] Meanwhile, the belt (100) is inserted into the belt loop of the pants to wrap around the wearer's waist and is connected to the buckle (10) to prevent the pants from slipping down. Referring to FIG. 10, the belt (100) according to one embodiment is composed of a first layer (110) and a second layer (120) with surfaces facing each other in the Z direction attached to each other. At this time, the first layer (110) and the second layer (120) may be attached to each other using an adhesive or the like, or the first layer (110) and the second layer (120) may be attached to each other by overlapping them in the Z direction and sewing the edges together with stitching or the like. In addition, it may be manufactured by folding a single piece of fabric and sewing only the edges.

[0032] At this time, either the first layer or the second layer may be formed only in the portion where the wire (300) described later is placed.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 16, in one embodiment, the belt (100') can be configured such that the first layer (110') is formed only in the portion where the wire (300) is placed, so that there is a portion in the Y direction between the first and second wire portions (310, 320) where the first layer (110') is not present.

[0034] However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is also possible to form the second layer only in the portion where the wire is placed.

[0035] In addition, the first layer (110) and the second layer (120) are made of a lightweight and strong material, such as leather or fabric, which is the material used to make general belts.

[0036] And, a non-combustible wire (300) is interposed between the first layer (110) and the second layer (120) of the belt (100). The wire (300) may be made of a non-combustible metal material that does not break or melt even when a bomb explodes or a severe fire occurs.

[0037] The buckle (10) includes a first fixing part having a toothed hook (31) that grips and secures the rear end of the belt (100), and a second fixing part having a pressure bar (16) that compresses and secures the front end of the belt (100).

[0038] At this time, the wire (300) is positioned along the edge of the belt (100), and a portion is positioned at the rear end of the belt (100) and is secured to the buckle (10) by being caught by the tooth hook (31) of the first fixing part.

[0039] And, the portion of the belt (100) located at the leading edge of the wire (300) is compressed by the pressure bar (16) of the second fixing part and fixed to the buckle (10).

[0040] Meanwhile, the wire (300) may include a first wire section (310), a second wire section (320), and a third wire section (330).

[0041] The first wire section (310) is positioned in a long straight line along the edge of the belt (100) in the X direction at a location adjacent to one edge in the Y direction of the belt (100).

[0042] The second wire section (320) is positioned in a long straight line along the edge of the belt (100) in the X direction at a location adjacent to the other edge of the belt (100) in the Y direction. At this time, the second wire section (320) is positioned to face the first wire section (310) in the Y direction.

[0043] The third wire section (330) is positioned in a long straight line along the edge of the belt (100) in the Y direction at a location adjacent to the rear edge in the X direction of the belt (100), and connects the ends of the first wire section (310) and the second wire section (320) to each other.

[0044] Accordingly, the portion of the wire (300) that is positioned at the rear of the belt (100) may have a 'U' shape.

[0045] Referring to FIG. 3, the first fixing part of the buckle (10) includes a first support plate (17), first and second side walls (18, 19), and a clip (30) having a toothed hook (31). The first and second side walls (18, 19) are formed to protrude in the Z direction from the leading edge in the Y direction of the first support plate (17).

[0046] The clip (30) is rotatably connected at both ends to the first and second side walls (17, 18) via an axis (33), and a first through hole is provided between the first support plate (17) and the clip (30) through which the rear end of the belt (100) passes.

[0047] Then, the U-shaped portion formed by the first to third wires (310, 320, 330) of the belt (100) inserted into the first through hole and the wire (300) is secured by being caught on the toothed hook (31) of the clip (30). In this way, the portion of the wire (300) that is secured to the first fixing part is U-shaped, so that even if the fabric or leather part of the belt (100) is completely burned in the event of a fire, one end (rear end) of the wire (300) does not come off the toothed hook (31) and can continue to be secured.

[0048] The second fixing part of the buckle (10) includes a second support plate (11) extending forward of the first support plate (17), an outer plate (12) positioned to face each other in the Z direction with the second support plate (11), and third and fourth side walls (13, 14) protruding in the Z direction opposite to the first and second side walls (18, 19) from the second support plate (11), and a second through hole (40) through which the leading edge of the belt (100) passes between the second support plate (11), the outer plate (12), and the first and second side walls (13, 14).

[0049] And, first and second slide holes (15) are formed in the first and second side walls (13, 14) respectively so that both ends of the pressure bar (16) are caught and slide.

[0050] The pressure bar (16) can move through the first and second slide holes (15) and simultaneously compress or release the leading portion of the belt (100) and the wire (300) that is positioned in a straight line at the leading portion of the belt (100).

[0051] In this way, when the pressure bar (16) presses the belt (100) and the wire (300) simultaneously, even if the belt (100) burns out in the event of a fire, the opposite end (leading end) of the wire (300) can be continuously maintained in a fixed state at the second fixed part.

[0052] For example, when the pressure bar (16) is slid forward and upward, the leading edge of the belt (100) and the wire (300) are simultaneously compressed upward, thereby firmly securing the belt (100) and the wire (300) so that they do not come off the buckle (10), and when the pressure bar (16) is slid backward and downward, the compressed state of the leading edge of the belt (100) and the wire (300) is released, allowing the belt (100) to become free and the leading edge of the belt (100) to be separated from the buckle (10).

[0053] In the case of a military belt with an auxiliary identification tag attached as configured in this way, if the wearer suffers serious injury or death due to an accident or combat, the leather or fabric parts of the belt may be damaged by melting or burning due to external impact or heat, but the leading and trailing ends of the heat-resistant wire (300) remain fixed to the buckle (10).

[0054] That is, even if the U-shaped part at the rear of the wire (300) gets caught in the tooth hook (31) of the first fixing part and the fabric or leather part of the belt melts or burns, one end (rear) of the wire (300) does not come off from the first fixing part.

[0055] In addition, the straight portion on the opposite side of the wire (300) is pressed against the pressure bar (16) of the second fixing part, so that even if the belt burns out in the event of a fire, the opposite end (leading end) of the wire (300) does not come off from the second fixing part. In particular, since two places of the straight wire are pressed by the pressure bar (16), even if one straight wire comes off, the other straight wire is maintained, so the wire (300) can be prevented from coming off the pressure bar (16) as much as possible.

[0056] As a result, the wire (300) remains attached to the belt loop of the wearer's pants just as it was before the accident, and the buckle (10) combined with the belt (100) also remains attached to the wearer's body without flying off.

[0057] Therefore, it is possible to easily identify the wearer's identity by using the identification tag attached to the buckle (10).

[0058] FIG. 11 is a plan view showing the inner surface of a military belt with an auxiliary identification tag attached according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 12 is an enlarged plan view of C in FIG. 11.

[0059] Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, another embodiment of the present invention is such that the belt is coupled to the buckle in the opposite direction to that of the previous embodiment, and is fixed to the buckle (10) by being caught by the tooth hook (31) of the first fixing part located at the leading end of the belt (100) on the wire (300), and the part located at the trailing end of the belt (100) on the wire (300) can be fixed to the buckle (10) by being compressed together with the belt (100) by the pressure bar (16) of the second fixing part.

[0060] That is, the straight ends of the first and second wire sections (310, 320) are caught by the tooth hook (31) of the first fixing section and are firmly fixed so as not to fall off the buckle (10), and the U-shaped portion formed by the first to third wire sections (310, 320, 330) of the wire (300) is compressed together with the belt (100) by the pressure bar (16) and is firmly fixed so as not to be separated from the buckle.

[0061] Accordingly, even if the belt (100) melts or burns in the event of a fire, both ends of the wire (300) remain fixed to the buckle (10), so the buckle (10) remains attached to the wearer's waist, allowing the identity of the injured or deceased to be identified using the identification mark engraved on the buckle (10).

[0062] Meanwhile, the military belt according to the present invention may accommodate a rope (500) on the outer surface or inside of the belt (100). When the rope is accommodated inside the military belt, the rope (500) may be stored directly or accommodated in a storage pocket (400) inside the belt, but when the rope is accommodated on the outer surface of the belt (100), a storage pocket must be attached to the outer surface of the belt, and the rope (500) is accommodated inside it.

[0063] Hereinafter, regarding the case where there is a storage pocket on the outer surface of the belt (100), the storage pocket (400) is located between the first wire section (310) and the second wire section (320) in the Y direction. At this time, the storage pocket (400) may be made of vinyl or cloth, and may be formed by attaching a vinyl or cloth of a predetermined area to the outer surface of the belt (100) and performing sewing work.

[0064] And, the storage pouch (400) is provided with a cover (410) that can be opened and closed at one end in the X direction, so that the cover (410) is opened and the rope (500) is pushed in through the input hole (440) at the end of the storage pouch (400) to store the rope (500) inside the storage pouch (400).

[0065] At this time, if the rope (500) is formed into a wavy knot and pushed in, a larger amount can be accommodated inside the storage pouch (400). For example, the rope (500) can be wavy by forming a knot such as a rubber band circular bundle and stored inside the storage pouch (400), thereby allowing the rope (500) to have the longest possible length to be stored inside the storage pouch (400), which has a limited length.

[0066] At this time, a pair of snap buttons (430, 420) or Velcro, etc. are provided on the end of the storage pocket (400) and the cover (410) so that when the cover (410) is closed, the rope (500) stored inside can be prevented from unexpectedly coming out of the storage pocket (400).

[0067] Additionally, the end (510) of the rope (500) that is pulled out is fixed to the inner surface of the cover (410) with a thin thread (530) or the like. When not in use, the end (510) of the rope (500) is attached to the inner surface of the cover (410) to prevent it from being pushed into the storage pocket (400). When the user wants to use the rope (500), if they grab and pull the end (510) of the rope (500), the thread (530) is cut, and the rope (500) is freely separated from the storage pocket, allowing the user to easily pull the rope (500) out of the storage pocket (400).

[0068] There are times when a rope is needed in an emergency situation while performing operations in mountainous areas. Through this structure and method of use, the belt wearer can easily take out and use a long rope (500) from the storage pocket (400) in case of distress in mountainous areas or when needed during various operations.

[0069] Meanwhile, in the case of a military belt where a rope is stored inside the belt, as the belt passes through the tooth hook and is joined, the rope also joins with the tooth hook, so the rope joins with the buckle through the tooth hook.

[0070] Meanwhile, if the storage pocket (400) is formed on the outer surface of the belt, it is combined in the form shown in FIG. 15. FIG. 15 is a plan view illustrating the connection structure of a rope and a buckle in a military belt according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] Referring to FIG. 15, as another embodiment of the present invention, a through hole (130) is formed adjacent to the end portion of the belt (100), and the opposite end portion (540) of the rope (500) is drawn out through the through hole (130) in the Z direction, which is the thickness direction, to the inner surface of the belt (100), and the end portion (540) of the rope (500) drawn out in this way can be fixedly coupled to the buckle (10).

[0072] At this time, a fixing hole (80) can be formed in a part of the buckle (10) and the end (540) of the rope (500) can be tied and fixed in the fixing hole (80). In the drawing, a fixing hole (80) is formed in the clip (30) of the first fixing part of the buckle (10), and the end (540) of the rope (500) is tied to the fixing hole (80) of the clip (30) to fix it to the buckle (10); however, if necessary, the end (540) of the rope (500) can be tied or joined to another part of the buckle (10) other than the clip (30) to fix it.

[0073] To explain the use of the rope, there is no time to separate the buckle and the belt during wartime or operations. To explain the method of using the rope (500) in a military belt having the above configuration in consideration of this situation, the rope (500) is taken out of the storage pocket (400), one end of the rope (500) is held, and the buckle (10) is thrown to the desired location by recoil.

[0074] At this time, the buckle (10) tied to the opposite end of the rope (500) acts as a weight, and as it flies in the direction thrown by the wearer, the buckle (10) is firmly caught on a tree or somewhere at the place targeted by the user. Afterwards, the user can take action such as moving to a high place by holding one end of the rope (500) with the buckle (10) fixed at a specific place.

[0075] The present invention is not limited by the embodiments described above. Accordingly, various substitutions, modifications, and changes may be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention as described in the claims, and such are also to be considered to fall within the scope of the present invention.
