JP6276282B2 - Adjustable belt at waist - Google Patents

Description

Although the present invention relates to technical and functional improvements to conventional belts, particularly leather belts, the problem improvements may be applied to belts made of other materials.
Such an improvement would also allow the shoulder region to remain in the abdominal position, especially if the user changed his posture from standing to sitting after wearing the belt at the waist and adjusting it appropriately. The elastic means is provided in such a manner that the outer periphery thereof can be automatically increased or decreased because it is affected by a slight increase for housing the container.
Because of this elastic effect, a belt that has already been adjusted to the body can be enlarged or reduced according to the needs of the human body when it is worn, especially when sitting normally, causing discomfort when sitting This eliminates the feeling of tightening the belt that occurs in a tilted posture, a crouched posture or a similar posture, and provides higher comfort to the user.

Currently taught in Patent Literature 1, Patent Literature 2, Patent Literature 3, Patent Literature 4, Patent Literature 5, Patent Literature 6, Patent Literature 7, Patent Literature 8, Patent Literature 9, Patent Literature 10, and Patent Literature 11. As it has been done, there are several ways in which a general belt can be automatically fine tuned after it has been adjusted to the waist.
Some have very complex devices on the belt buckle for automatic adjustment, others use elastic sections as taught in US Pat. Some have incorporated a short segment into the preferred position of the belt length, usually near the buckle.
Under this condition, the elastic segment allows the belt's outer circumference to increase and decrease to automatically adjust to the user's waist, so that the elastic segment provides the desired comfort, i.e. within the waist area when sitting. That tight feeling disappears.

  Although the traditional means can be automatically adjusted to the user's body, the elastic strap is always exposed in all cases found, which alters the belt design in the negative direction and its style It was pointed out that it can also induce a change in the appearance of the clothing, which can adversely affect the overall appearance of the garment.

  The main object of the present invention is to provide a fully integrated elastic telescoping means, thus desired when the user changes position, mainly sits and then stands up again after the belt is adjusted to the waist. It can be adjusted automatically by increasing or decreasing the circumference to a degree sufficient to provide the comfort provided, thus eliminating the unpleasant sensation of belt tightening.

Another object of the present invention is to keep the visual appearance of the belt unchanged.
That is, near the buckle, the belt is split, only a thin line is visible at this point, and also at this point, one side of the belt incorporates elastic means and a telescoping guide, and as a result The split end moves away only when the belt is automatically adjusted to “longer”, for example when the user is sitting, and returns to the normal position when the user stands up .

  Maintaining the same functional concept, the present invention provides different embodiments for the elastic means.

  According to the figure and its details, in particular FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the “automatically adjustable waist belt” of the present invention was formed by a completely flat loop with a flat tubular free air gap (2). A long strap (1) comprising the belt itself, with a cross-section, and one of the straps that normally accommodates at least one belt loop (4) and itself a simple buckle or more complex closure after being folded Forms an end, but any one of which adjusts the other end of the strap (1) to quickly couple or uncouple so that the belt can be comfortably fitted to the user's waist and can be easily removed Manufactured from a flexible material such as leather that can provide sufficient means to do so.

  This "automatically adjustable belt at the waist" is first split at the point where it is close to the turn (3) to form two adjacent ends (6) and (7) on the turn (3) side On this side, the end accommodates the end of the elastic strap (8) and the end of the guide tongue (9) in its free space (2), and the end of the guide tongue (9) The other end is freely positioned inside the gap (2) of the other end (6) of the strap (1), and the other end of the elastic strap (8) is fixed in the same way. This elastic strap (8) itself pulls the ends (6) and (7) of the strap (1) and keeps them together, thus making such junctions virtually invisible. Therefore, it is characterized by being held with sufficient tension. Improvements being does not interfere with the belt design, it maintains its original perfect appearance.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the elastic strap (8) and the guide tongue (9) are completely embedded by nesting inside the belt on the end (6) side. Providing the means, so that the belt (1) can be adjusted automatically after being adjusted to the waist (the outer circumference of the belt is mainly sitting next when the user changes posture) When it stands up again, it increases or decreases enough to eliminate the unpleasant sensation of the belt and provide the desired comfort).

  Referring to FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, in another preferred embodiment, the elastic strap (8) and the guide tongue (9) are interconnected at their ends, whereas their opposite ends The parts are respectively fixed inside the end (6) and inside the end (7), so that two tensioned parts can be seen, in which case the tongues move outward and inward. The same elastic effect as that shown in FIG.

4 and 8 show the stretched belt.
That is, in FIG. 4, the elastic strap is stretched more than necessary, exposing the tip of the guide tongue that normally remains inside the belt, thus the elastic strap (8) and the guide tongue (9). Clearly shows the inward and outward movement of the.

  In FIG. 8, the situation is the same, showing the elastic strap (8) stretched more than necessary, with the joint with the guide tongue (9) always remaining inside the belt.

  9 and 10 highlight the fact that the guide tongue is formed by an extension of the front or rear wall of the fold (3) that constitutes the fastening point of the buckle (5).

  As can be seen, the elastic strap (8) and the guide tongue (9) provide a fully integrated means for telescoping the interior of the belt (1), thus the belt (1 ) Can be adjusted automatically after being adjusted to the waist, eliminating the unpleasant sensation that the belt tightens when the user changes posture, mainly sits down and then stands up again, giving the desired comfort It is designed to increase or decrease the belt circumference to a sufficient extent to provide, and this effect is reversed when the user returns to the standing position, where the elastic means is virtually visible. Leave only thin lines that do not interfere with clothing design.

  As already mentioned, the present invention includes three additional structural aspects to provide the same elastic effects described above.

  The first structural embodiment shown in FIGS. 12 to 18 is that it has two movable elements, also in the form of straps, one elastic element (11) and one outer sliding finish element (12 ), And in addition to being joined together at one end, a belt loop (4) and a coupling device (5) are attached, whereas on the other side they are flexible straps Connected to the corresponding end of (1), these couplings are characterized by sliding in the case of the finishing element (12) to compensate for the extension and shortening of the elastic inner element (11) To do.

  The outer sliding finish element (12) is a folded strap having the same width as the flexible strap (1), and on the folded side, a continuous contact for fixing the coupling device (5) Forming the finished winding (13) with the transverse seam (14) constituting the end, while at the opposite end the parts (15) and (16) of the finishing element (12) are each a flexible strap (1 The flexible strap itself has a longitudinal slot (17) in this portion, through which a transverse pin (18) passes, at its end Is fixed in the parts (15) and (16), wherein the pins and slots form limiting means for the extension and shortening of the elastic element (11).

  The elastic element (11) has one end secured by a seam (14), while on the other side its parts (19) and (20) are each the outer surface of the flexible strap (1). And extending along the inner surface and joined by a transverse seam (21).

  Logically, the elastic element (11) is a single strap with ends fixed equally on either side of the strap (1) and on the coupling device having the same functional effect obtain.

19 and 23 illustrate the operation of the first structural aspect.
That is, in such a diagram, the belt is stretched to simulate an increase in its outer circumference.
In this case, the slot (17) is visible in FIGS.
However, this slot may be incorporated so that parts (15) and (16) have a longer length after pin (18) that is sufficient to keep said slot (17) always hidden. Although these may be present, these and other changes do not interfere with the operation of the assembly best seen in FIG. 23, in which the device (5), which is a buckle, is shown in the elastic element (11). It is clear that the tension is sufficient to cause stretching, and at the same time the finishing element (12) is likewise logically guided and slid by the slot (17) passing through the pin (18). It is.
The length of the slot (17) limits the extension and shortening of the element (11), thus complementing the built-in means for the belt (1) and adjusting to the waist, after which this belt is automatically adjusted The belt circumference can be increased sufficiently to provide the desired comfort without the unpleasant sensation of the belt tightening when the user changes posture, mainly sitting and then standing up again Or the effect is reversed when the user rises again without losing the initial adjustment of the belt.

  The second structural aspect is shown in detail in FIGS. 24-30, in which it can be a simple buckle or a more complex closure as such, as in the preceding embodiment. A coupling device (5) and one end with at least one loop (4), provided that either of them adjusts the other (not shown) end of the strap (1) and Providing sufficient means for rapid coupling or decoupling so that the belt fits comfortably in the user's waist and can be easily removed as well] It appears to contain a long flexible strap (1), which is the belt itself, obtained from any material compatible with.

  The second structural embodiment shown in more detail in FIG. 29 has a corresponding end of a flexible strap (1) folded inside that forms a short facing portion (22). This part (22) itself creates an end turn (23) (through which the pivot axis (24) of the device (5) passes) and is fixed for the belt loop (4) A point is also formed, characterized in that the winding (23) is elongated in the longitudinal direction enough to form a longitudinal gap (Y) for the displacement of the device (5). To do.

The second structural aspect further includes an internal elastic element (25) secured between the facing portion (22) and the flexible strap (1) as well as when the device (5) is forced outward (f ) To the point (b) by the elastic element (25) which is stretchable to the point (b) and the shaft (24) of the device (5), which is normally held inwardly to the point (a) and the elasticity It includes a coupling (26) connecting the corresponding end of the element (25).
Here, points (a) and (b) define the extension stroke of the strap (1).
That is, it defines the natural diameter of the belt when worn and the larger diameter when the belt is forced on the user's waist.

  The elastic element (25) is a folded strap that forms two opposing parts (27), itself a coupling (26) having the other curved end (29) that couples with the shaft (24). The opposite end of the opposing portion (27) is the seam (30) between the opposing parts of the strap (1) and the portion (22). To provide other fastening points with lateral seams (31) between the parts of the strap (1) and the facing part (22), which in this case hold the elastic element (25) free. Thus, this elastic element has only a seam (30) and a shaft (24) as a support point and can be extended and shortened.

FIGS. 31-36 illustrate the operation of the second structural aspect.
That is, in such a figure, the belt is extended to simulate an increase in its outer circumference.
The operation of the assembly can be better seen in FIGS. 35 and 36, where the buckle device (5) is sufficient to cause the element (25) to stretch to the limit of the gap (y). So pulled, thus providing a fully embedded means, thus the belt (1) can be adjusted automatically after adjusting to the waist, mainly when the user changes posture It is clear that when sitting and then standing again, the belt circumference is increased or decreased sufficiently to eliminate the unpleasant sensation of the belt and provide the desired comfort. .

  Finally, a third structural aspect is shown in FIGS. 37-42, in which the assembly includes all the structural details of the second aspect, the only difference being: Located in the winding (33), which is an additional piece of material different from that used in the flexible strap (1), so that the winding (33) expands similarly when the device (5) is pulled out It can be seen that it is a thinner piece made of a material that is substantially flexible and elastic enough to be allowed to move.

In this case, the elastic complementary part (33) can maintain its normal shape when the elastic assembly is shortened.
Under this condition, such a part (33) maintains its normal appearance and there is no modification of its size or position. On the other hand, if the device or buckle (5) is forcibly pulled out to increase the diameter of the belt, under this condition the part (33) will be stretched at the same rate, thus Nothing happens, and when the device or buckle (5) is not forcibly pulled out, it returns to its normal position, the part (33) is reduced again, and this region of the belt is completely Give the impression that there is no movement.

43-48 illustrate the operation of the third structural aspect, in which the belt is stretched to simulate an increase in its outer circumference.
In this case, the operation is exactly the same as that described for the second aspect, taking into account only the fact that the extension of the elastic part (33) is not shown.
Thus, it is understood that this effect occurs as well when the belt is forced to its larger diameter.
