Description

Military belt with dog tags

[0001] The present invention relates to a military belt having an identification tag, and more particularly, to a military belt having an identification tag, wherein an identification tag is engraved on at least one of the two sides of a buckle and a non-flammable wire is built into the belt, so that even if a bomb explodes or a severe fire occurs during an operation and the fabric or leather part of the belt is lost, the buckle does not escape from the wearer, thereby enabling identification of the wearer.

[0002] Soldiers must always carry their military identification tags to identify themselves, including their affiliation, name, and serial number, in case of injury or death during operations.

[0003] The traditional dog tag is a thin metal plate engraved with the soldier's affiliation, name, military number, blood type, etc., and is attached to a chain or string. It is also called a dog tag.

[0004] These types of military dog ​​tags in the form of necklaces have thin metal plates and are not very durable. Therefore, when there is contact or strong movement during training, the string breaks or the metal plate becomes easily damaged, such as by the metal plate becoming dented. In particular, when the string breaks, the metal plate often separates from the string and flies away, becoming lost.

[0005] Moreover, soldiers are deployed for various training and operations, and there are cases where they are seriously injured or die during the operation. If a shell explodes or a severe fire breaks out during the operation and they die or are seriously injured, the body is severely damaged by the shock or high heat from the shell. In addition, the necklace-shaped military dog ​​tags can be separated from the body and fly away as the string breaks or melts due to the high heat, so the dog tags do not belong to the wearer and are easily detached from the body, so they cannot properly perform their role as dog tags to identify the deceased soldier.

[0006] Meanwhile, since conventional ID tags must be worn around the neck at all times like a necklace, they can cause skin problems such as allergies or contact dermatitis in people with sensitive skin.

[0007] The preceding 1 relates to a device for storing an identification tag, and includes a belt part that wraps around the waist and a buckle part that is connected to the belt part and stores an identification tag.

[0008] In the case of the preceding 1, it is convenient to carry and direct contact between the tag and the skin can be prevented, but if the belt part is damaged by burning or melting due to external impact or heat, the belt part breaks and the buckle part cannot remain on the wearer's body and is thrown outward. If the tag is separated from the wearer in this way, it cannot perform its function as an tag to confirm the wearer's identity.

[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a military belt having an identification tag engraved on the buckle, and which can maintain the function of identifying the wearer at all times by ensuring that the buckle with the identification tag engraved on it remains attached to the wearer's body even if the leather or fabric portion of the belt melts due to a bomb explosion or severe fire during an operation.

[0010] In addition, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a military belt having an identification tag that can prevent allergies, etc. by blocking direct contact with the skin and can prevent frequent breakage of the identification tag due to external impact of the conventional identification tag.

[0011] One aspect of the present invention comprises a belt comprising a first layer and a second layer with facing surfaces attached; and a buckle including a first fixing portion having a toothed hook for biting and fixing a rear end of the belt and a second fixing portion having a pressure bar for fixing by pressing a front end of the belt, wherein a non-flammable wire is interposed between the first layer and the second layer, the wire comprising: a first wire portion arranged in a straight line along one edge of the belt; a second wire portion arranged in a straight line facing the first wire portion along the other edge of the belt; and a third wire portion arranged in a straight line along the rear edge of the belt and connecting the first and second wire portions. The present invention provides a military belt having an identification tag, wherein the wire is fixed to a buckle by being compressed by a pressure bar of the second fixing portion, the first and second wire portions arranged at the front of the belt, and the U-shaped portion of the wire, which is located at the rear of the belt and formed by the first to third wire portions, is fixed to a buckle by being hooked to a toothed hook of the first fixing portion.

[0012] According to a preferred feature of the present invention, either the first layer or the second layer of the belt can be formed only in the portion where the wire is arranged.

[0013] According to a preferred feature of the present invention, the first fixing part is formed by a clip having a first support plate, first and second side walls, and a toothed hook, and both ends of which are rotatably connected to the first and second side walls, and has a first through hole through which the rear of the belt passes, and the rear of the belt inserted into the first through hole and the portion located at the rear of the belt from the wire are fixed by being caught by the toothed hook of the clip, and the second fixing part is formed by a second support plate extending forward of the first support plate, an outer plate, and third and fourth side walls protruding from the second support plate in a direction opposite to the first and second side walls, and has a second through hole through which the leading edge of the belt passes, and first and second slide holes may be formed in the first and second side walls, respectively, so that both ends of the pressure bar can be caught and slid to press or depress the leading edge of the belt and the portion located at the leading edge of the belt from the wire.

[0014] According to a preferred feature of the present invention, a storage pocket is provided on the outer surface of the belt, and a rope can be accommodated in the storage pocket.

[0015] According to a preferred feature of the present invention, an end of the rope can be drawn out through the belt in the thickness direction to the inner surface of the belt and fixedly connected to the buckle.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a military belt having an identification tag has a non-combustible wire embedded inside the belt, and even if the cloth or leather part of the belt is completely burned or blown away due to impact or heat, the wire remains wrapped around the wearer's waist, thereby preventing the buckle from coming off from the wearer's body. Therefore, even if the wearer is seriously injured or dies in wartime due to a bomb or fire, the belt remains fastened around the wearer's waist, thereby preventing the identification tag engraved on the buckle from coming off the wearer, thereby having the effect of continuing to perform the function of identifying the injured or deceased.

[0017] Additionally, the dog tag is engraved on one or both sides of the belt buckle, so it can be carried at all times while wearing the uniform while preventing direct contact with the skin. In addition, the buckle is thicker than conventional dog tags, which has the effect of minimizing damage to the dog tag due to external impact.

[0029] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described. However, the 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.

[0030] Additionally, throughout the specification, reference to an element as "including" means that other elements may be included, rather than excluding other elements, unless specifically stated otherwise.

[0031] The military belt having the dog tag of the present invention is characterized in that the dog tag is engraved on one or both sides of the buckle.

[0032] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a buckle of a military belt having an identification tag according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which a buckle and a belt portion of a military belt having an identification tag according to an embodiment of the present invention are combined, FIG. 3 is a side view of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a plan view showing an inner surface of a military belt having an identification tag according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5 is an enlarged plan view of B of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A' of FIG. 4.

[0033] In the following description, X is defined in the longitudinal direction of the belt, Y is defined in the width direction of the belt and buckle, and Z is defined in the thickness direction of the belt and buckle. In addition, when looking at the belt in the X direction with reference to Fig. 4, the left side where the U-shaped part of the wire is located is defined as the rear of the belt, and the opposite right side is defined as the front of the belt.

[0034] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, a military belt having an identification tag according to one embodiment includes a belt (100) and a buckle (10). The buckle (10) is optionally equipped with a GPS so that the wearer's location can be remotely confirmed when necessary.

[0035] The belt (100) is inserted into the belt loop of the pants, wraps around the wearer's waist, and is connected to the buckle (10) to prevent the pants from slipping down. Referring to FIG. 6, the belt (100) according to one embodiment is composed of a first layer (110) and a second layer (120) whose surfaces facing each other in the Z direction are attached to each other. At this time, the first layer (110) and the second layer (120) can be attached to each other using an adhesive or the like, or the first layer (110) and the second layer (120) can be folded in the Z direction and then the edges can be sewn by stitching or the like to attach them to each other.

[0036] At this time, either the first layer or the second layer can be formed only in the portion where the wire (300) described later is placed.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 12, in one embodiment, the belt (100') can be configured so that the first layer (110') is formed only in the portion where the wire (300) is placed, so that there is a portion without the first layer (110') between the first and second wire portions (310, 320) in the Y direction.

[0038] However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to have the second layer formed only in the portion where the wire is placed.

[0039] Additionally, the first layer (110) and the second layer (120) may be made of a light and strong material such as leather or cloth.

[0040] 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.

[0041] The buckle (10) includes a first fixing part having a toothed hook (31) that bites and fixes the rear end of the belt (100), and a second fixing part having a pressure bar (16) that presses and fixes the front end of the belt (100).

[0042] At this time, the wire (300) is arranged along the edge of the belt (100), and a portion thereof is arranged at the rear end of the belt (100) and is fixed to the buckle (10) by being bitten by the tooth hook (31) of the first fixing part.

[0043] And, the part located at the leading end of the belt (100) in the wire (300) is compressed by the pressure bar (16) of the second fixing part and fixed to the buckle (10).

[0044] Meanwhile, the wire (300) may include a first wire portion (310), a second wire portion (320), and a third wire portion (330).

[0045] The first wire section (310) is arranged in a long straight line in the X direction along the edge of the belt (100) at a position adjacent to one edge in the Y direction of the belt (100).

[0046] The second wire section (320) is arranged in a long straight line in the X direction along the edge of the belt (100) at a position adjacent to the other edge in the Y direction of the belt (100). At this time, the second wire section (320) is arranged to face the first wire section (310) in the Y direction.

[0047] The third wire section (330) is arranged in a long line in the Y direction along the edge of the belt (100) at a position 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.

[0048] Accordingly, the portion of the wire (300) placed at the rear of the belt (100) may have a ‘U’ shape.

[0049] Referring to Fig. 1, 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 Y-direction tip of the first support plate (17).

[0050] The clip (30) is rotatably connected at both ends to the first and second side walls (17, 18) by an axis (33), and a first through hole through which the rear end of the belt (100) passes is provided between the first support plate (17) and the clip (30).

[0051] And, the rear end of the belt (100) inserted into the first through hole and the U-shaped portion of the wire (300) by the first to third wires (310, 320, 330) are fixed by being bitten by the toothed hook (31) of the clip (30). In this way, the portion of the wire (300) fixed to the first fixing part is U-shaped, so that even if the cloth or leather portion of the belt (100) is completely burned in the event of a fire, one end (rear end) of the wire (300) can be maintained in a fixed state without being pulled out of the toothed hook (31).

[0052] 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) arranged to face the second support plate (11) in the Z direction, and third and fourth side walls (13, 14) protruding from the second support plate (11) in the Z direction in opposite directions to the first and second side walls (18, 19), and a second through hole (40) through which the leading edge of the belt (100) passes is provided between the second support plate (11), the outer plate (12), and the first and second side walls (13, 14).

[0053] At this time, an identification tag indicating the soldier's status is displayed on at least one of the outer surface of the second support plate (11) or the outer surface of the outer plate (12). The identification tag may be engraved, and may be displayed in another way if necessary. However, if a method such as printing is used, it may be erased or damaged by strong impact or heat from fire, so it is preferable to engraved on the second support plate (11) or the outer plate (12).

[0054] The tag may contain information such as the wearer's affiliation, name, military number, and blood type.

[0055] In addition, first and second slide holes (15) are formed on the first and second side walls (13, 14) respectively so that both ends of the pressure bar (16) are hung and slide.

[0056] The press bar (16) can simultaneously press or depress the leading edge of the belt (100) and the portion of the wire (300) arranged in a straight line at the leading edge of the belt (100) while moving through the first and second slide holes (15).

[0057] In this way, when the pressure bar (16) presses the belt (100) and the wire (300) simultaneously, even if the belt (100) burns in the event of a fire, the opposite end (head) of the wire (300) can be maintained in a state of being fixed to the second fixing part.

[0058] For example, when the pressure bar (16) is slid upwardly forward, the leading edge of the belt (100) and the wire (300) are simultaneously pressed upward, thereby firmly fixing the belt (100) and the wire (300) so that they do not come off the buckle (10). When the pressure bar (16) is slid downwardly backward, the pressed state of the leading edge of the belt (100) and the wire (300) is released, allowing the belt (100) to be freed and the leading edge of the belt (100) to be separated from the buckle (10).

[0059] A military belt having an identification tag configured in this manner may be damaged by the leather or cloth portion of the belt melting or burning due to external impact or heat if the wearer is seriously injured or dies due to an accident or battle, but the front and rear ends of the wire (300) with excellent heat resistance remain fixed to the buckle (10).

[0060] That is, even if the U-shaped rear portion of the wire (300) is caught in the toothed hook (31) of the first fixing part and the cloth 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.

[0061] In addition, the straight part 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 in the event of a fire, the opposite end (head) of the wire (300) does not come off from the second fixing part. In particular, since two places of the straight wire are pressurized by the pressure bar (16), even if one straight wire comes off, the other straight wire is maintained, so that the wire (300) can be prevented from coming off from the pressure bar (16) as much as possible.

[0062] Accordingly, the wire (300) remains inserted into the belt loop of the wearer's pants as before the accident, and the buckle (10) connected to the belt (100) also remains worn without being blown off the wearer's body.

[0063] Therefore, it is possible to easily identify the wearer by using the identification tag engraved on the buckle (10).

[0064] FIG. 7 is a plan view showing the inner surface of a military belt having an identification tag according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is an enlarged plan view of C of FIG. 7.

[0065] Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, another embodiment of the present invention is one in which the belt is coupled to the buckle in the opposite direction to the previous embodiment, and is fixed to the buckle (10) by being bitten by the toothed hook (31) of the first fixing part located at the front of the belt (100) in the wire (300), and the part located at the rear of the belt (100) in 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.

[0066] That is, the straight ends of the first and second wire sections (310, 320) are firmly fixed so as not to fall off the buckle (10) by being bitten by the toothed hook (31) of the first fixing section, and the U-shaped portion of the wire (300) formed by the first to third wire sections (310, 320, 330) is firmly fixed so as not to fall off the buckle by being pressed together with the belt (100) by the pressure bar (16).

[0067] 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 that the buckle (10) remains attached to the wearer's waist, and the identification tag engraved on the buckle (10) can be used to identify the injured or deceased.

[0068] Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 4, 6, 9, and 10, a storage pocket (400) is provided on the outer surface of the belt (100), and a rope (500) is accommodated inside the storage pocket (400). The storage pocket (400) is positioned between the first wire portion (310) and the second wire portion (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 predetermined area of ​​vinyl or cloth to the outer surface of the belt (100) and performing sewing work, etc.

[0069] In addition, the storage pocket (400) is provided with a cover (410) that can be opened and closed at one end in the X direction, so that by opening the cover (410) and pushing the rope (500) through the insertion hole (440) at the end of the storage pocket (400), the rope (500) is stored inside the storage pocket (400).

[0070] At this time, if the rope (500) is made into a winding knot and pushed in, a larger amount can be accommodated inside the storage bag (400). For example, the rope (500) can be made winding by tying a knot such as a rubber bar circular bundle and stored inside the storage bag (400), and thus, a rope (500) having the longest possible length can be stored inside the storage bag (400) whose length is limited.

[0071] At this time, the end of the storage pocket (400) and the cover (410) are provided with a pair of snap buttons (430, 420) or Velcro, etc., corresponding to each other, 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).

[0072] In addition, the end (510) of the rope (500) pulled out is fixed to the inner surface of the cover (410) with a thin thread (530), etc. When not in use, the end (510) of the rope (500) is attached to the inner surface of the cover (410), thereby preventing it from being pushed into the storage pocket (400). When the rope (500) is to be used, the end (510) of the rope (500) is grabbed and pulled, and the thread (530) is cut, allowing the rope (500) to be freely separated from the storage pocket, allowing the user to easily remove the rope (500) from the storage pocket (400).

[0073] During operations in mountainous areas, ropes may be needed in emergency situations. This structure and method of use allows the wearer to easily retrieve and use a long rope (500) from the storage pouch (400) in case of emergency in mountainous areas or during various operations.

[0074] Fig. 11 is a plan view showing the joint structure of a rope and a buckle in a military belt according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0075] Referring to FIG. 11, as another embodiment of the present invention, a through hole (130) is formed adjacent to the end of a belt (100), and an opposite end (540) of a rope (500) is drawn out to the inner surface of the belt (100) by penetrating the belt (100) in the Z direction, which is the thickness direction, through the through hole (130), and the end (540) of the rope (500) drawn out in this way can be fixedly connected to a buckle (10).

[0076] At this time, a fixing hole (80) may be formed in a part of the buckle (10) and the end (540) of the rope (500) may be tied to the fixing hole (80) to be fixed. In the drawing, the 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 be fixed to the buckle (10). However, if necessary, the end (540) of the rope (500) may be tied or joined to another part of the buckle (10) other than the clip (30) to be fixed.

[0077] For example, during a display or operational operation, there is no time to separate the buckle and belt. Considering this situation, a method of using a rope (500) in a military belt having the above configuration is described. After removing the rope (500) from the storage pocket (400), one end of the rope (500) is held and the buckle (10) is thrown to the desired location by the recoil.

[0078] At this time, the buckle (10) tied to the opposite end of the rope (500) acts as a weight, and flies in the direction the wearer throws it, and the buckle (10) is firmly caught somewhere in the location targeted by the user, such as a tree. Afterwards, the user can take an action, such as moving to a high place by holding one end of the rope (500) with the buckle (10) fixed to a specific location.

[0079] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. Therefore, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various substitutions, modifications, and alterations may be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention as defined in the claims, and such modifications are also within the scope of the present invention.
