Description

La présente invention concerne une boucle de fermeture, plus particulièrement une boucle telle qu'elle est utilisée de manière générale pour relier mutuellement et de manière amovible deux sections de ceinture, deux extrémités d'une ceinture ou analogues, comme c'est par exemple le cas dans les ceintures de pantalon, les ceinturons, les ceintures abdominales et analogues.The present invention relates to a closure loop, more particularly a loop as it is used in general to connect mutually and removably two belt sections, two ends of a belt or the like, as for example the case in pants belts, belts, lap belts and the like.

On connaît déjà diverses sortes de boucles de fermeture pour sections de ceinture, comportant principalement la boucle généralement connue, qui est formée en tant que telle par un anneau dans lequel est agencée une broche pivotante, cet anneau étant d'une part relié à une section de la ceinture et étant traversé par une seconde section de la ceinture pourvue d'orifices, plus ou moins en sorte que la broche précitée, après introduction de la section de la ceinture concernée, soit insérée dans l'un des orifices précités afin de relier cette section de la ceinture solidement à la boucle.Various kinds of closure loops for belt sections are already known, mainly comprising the generally known loop, which is formed as such by a ring in which a pivoting pin is arranged, this ring being on the one hand connected to a section of the belt and being crossed by a second section of the belt provided with holes, more or less so that the aforementioned pin, after introduction of the section of the belt concerned, is inserted into one of the aforementioned holes in order to connect this section of the belt securely to the buckle.

Un premier inconvénient d'une telle boucle de fermeture est que la liaison entre la ceinture et la boucle ne peut se faire qu'à l'emplacement des orifices de la ceinture.A first drawback of such a closure loop is that the connection between the belt and the loop can only be made at the location of the holes in the belt.

Un autre inconvénient de cette boucle de fermeture connue est que les orifices de la boucle se déchirent généralement au bout d'une certaine période.Another drawback of this known closure loop is that the holes in the loop generally tear after a certain period.

Un autre inconvénient encore de cette boucle de fermeture est que l'on a toujours affaire à une broche pivotante qui, dans de nombreux cas, se déplace latéralement ou passe du côté opposé de la boucle, si bien que la broche doit d'abord être placée dans la position correcte avant que l'on ne puisse l'introduire dans un orifice approprié de la ceinture.Yet another drawback of this closure loop is that we are still dealing with a pivoting spindle which, in many cases, moves laterally or passes on the opposite side of the loop, if although the spindle must first be placed in the correct position before it can be inserted into an appropriate hole in the belt.

Afin d'éviter les inconvénients des boucles de fermeture généralement connues précitées, on a déjà proposé des boucles dans lesquelles il est prévu une ouverture par laquelle on fait passer une ceinture également dotée d'orifices et dans lesquelles la boucle est pourvue d'une saillie fixe qui est introduite dans un orifice de la ceinture après avoir serré les sections de la ceinture.In order to avoid the drawbacks of the aforementioned generally known closure loops, loops have already been proposed in which an opening is provided through which a belt is also passed which has holes and in which the loop is provided with a projection fixed which is introduced into a hole in the belt after tightening the sections of the belt.

Bien que la broche pivotante ait disparu dans ce type de boucle, les inconvénients de la boucle mentionnée en premier lieu subsistent encore.Although the swivel pin has disappeared in this type of loop, the disadvantages of the loop mentioned in the first place still remain.

On a également proposé par ailleurs des boucles qui sont formées principalement de deux parties qui peuvent être accrochées l'une à l'autre, chacune de ces parties étant reliée respectivement à une extrémité de la ceinture.Loops have also been proposed which are formed mainly from two parts which can be hooked to each other, each of these parts being connected respectively to one end of the belt.

Bien que, de cette manière, on évite les inconvénients mentionnés, ce dernier type de boucle a le grand désavantage qu'il se produit fréquemment un glissement de la ceinture dans les anneaux de fixation de la boucle.Although, in this way, the drawbacks mentioned are avoided, the latter type of buckle has the great disadvantage that there is frequently a slip of the belt in the fixing rings of the buckle.

Par ailleurs, on a proposé des boucles qui sont constituées essentiellement de deux éléments, à savoir un élément femelle auquel une section de la ceinture est fixée et qui est pourvu d'encoches ou d'éléments analogues, et d'un élément mâle auquel une seconde section de la ceinture est fixée et qui est pourvu de saillies qui peuvent coopérer avec les encoches lorsqu'on les presse l'une dans l'autre.Furthermore, loops have been proposed which consist essentially of two elements, namely a female element to which a section of the belt is fixed and which is provided with notches or the like, and a male element to which a second section of the belt is fixed and which is provided with projections which can cooperate with the notches when pressed one into the other.

L'inconvénient de ce type de boucle est que les setions de la ceinture peuvent glisser dans les anneaux de fixation de la boucle et que les saillies de l'élément mâle de la boucle perdent dans de nombreux cas leur élasticité si bien que la boucle ne se ferme plus très bien, voire même ne se ferme plus du tout dans la mesure où il arrive également de manière régulière que ces saillies se cassent.The disadvantage of this type of buckle is that the belt portions can slide in the buckle fastening rings and that the projections of the male element of the buckle in many cases lose their elasticity so that the buckle no longer closes very well, or even no longer closes at all since it also happens regularly that these projections break.

La présente invention a pour objet une boucle de fermeture qui exclut les inconvénients précités et les autres inconvénients des boucles connues.The subject of the present invention is a closure loop which excludes the aforementioned drawbacks and the other drawbacks of known loops.

La boucle selon l'invention consiste essentiellement en deux éléments internes qui portent chacun une partie de ceinture de sections de ceinture à relier l'une à l'autre et en un élément externe qui permet de relier les éléments internes l'un à l'autre, les éléments internes, d'une part, et l'élément externe, d'autre part, étant pourvus de moyens, respectivement, d'au moins une nervure et d'au moins une encoche qui peuvent coopérer l'une avec l'autre par déplacement.The buckle according to the invention essentially consists of two internal elements which each carry a belt portion of belt sections to be connected to each other and an external element which makes it possible to connect the internal elements to one another. other, the internal elements, on the one hand, and the external element, on the other hand, being provided with means, respectively, of at least one rib and at least one notch which can cooperate with one other by displacement.

On obtient ainsi une boucle de fermeture qui peut être agencée à n'importe quel endroit approprié des sections de ceinture si bien que l'on peut procéder à un réglage longitudinal très précis de la ceinture, qui n'endommage en aucune manière les sections de la ceinture, empêche tout glissement des sections de la ceinture, assure une structure très solide qui exclut totalement toute rupture des pièces, permet d'utiliser n'importe quelle section de ceinture appropriée, permet d'acheter la boucle de fermeture séparément si bien qu'il est possible de remplacer une boucle de fermeture ou une partie de celle-ci sur une ceinture déterminée par une autre boucle de fermeture ou une partie de celle-ci d'une autre couleur, d'une autre configuration, d'un autre dessin ou analogues.A closure loop is thus obtained which can be arranged at any suitable location in the belt sections so that a very precise longitudinal adjustment of the belt can be carried out, which in no way damages the sections of the belt. the belt, prevents any slipping of the belt sections, ensures a very solid structure which totally excludes any breakage of the parts, allows the use of any suitable belt section, allows the buckle to be purchased separately so that '' it is possible to replace a closure loop or part of it on a determined belt with another closure loop or part of it in another color, another configuration, another drawing or the like.

Dans la figure 1 est représentée une ceinture 1 qui est pourvue d'une boucle de fermeture 2 selon l'invention, cette boucle de fermeture 2 étant formée pour l'essentiel d'un élément externe 3 et de deux éléments internes, respectivement, 4 et 5 auxquels les extrémités libres d'une ceinture 1 sont raccordées.In Figure 1 is shown a belt 1 which is provided with a closure loop 2 according to the invention, this closure loop 2 being formed essentially of an external element 3 and two internal elements, respectively, 4 and 5 to which the free ends of a belt 1 are connected.

Dans les figures 4 à 8 incluses, on a représenté un élément externe 3 qui est constitué pour l'essentiel d'une plaque de base 6 dont la partie arrière est dotée de deux nervures 7-8 verticales parallèles en forme de queue d'aronde qui, dans cette forme de réalisation, sont disposées symétriquement dans un renfoncement commun 9 de la partie arrière de la plaque de base 6.In Figures 4 to 8 inclusive, there is shown an external element 3 which consists essentially of a base plate 6 whose rear part is provided with two parallel vertical ribs 7-8 in the form of a dovetail which, in this embodiment, are arranged symmetrically in a common recess 9 in the rear part of the base plate 6.

Ces nervures 7-8 sont raccordées par leur plus petite base à la plaque de base précitée 6 et s'étendent pratiquement sur toute la hauteur de cette plaque de base 6, à savoir du bord inférieur 10 de la plaque de base 6 à faible distance du bord en regard 11 de la plaque de base 6 où ces nervures 7-8 présentent une extrémité arrondie 12-13.These ribs 7-8 are connected by their smallest base to the aforementioned base plate 6 and extend practically over the entire height of this base plate 6, namely the lower edge 10 of the base plate 6 at a short distance. from the opposite edge 11 of the base plate 6 where these ribs 7-8 have a rounded end 12-13.

La plus grande base des nervures 7 et 8 forment une face plate 14 sur laquelle, à faible distance de l'extrémité de chaque nervure 7-8, est formée une butée, respectivement, 15 et 16, tandis que ces nervures 7-8 sont pourvues vers leur extrémité arrondie 12-13 d'une cavité cylindrique, respectivement, 17 et 18.The largest base of the ribs 7 and 8 form a flat face 14 on which, at a short distance from the end of each rib 7-8 is formed a stop, respectively, 15 and 16, while these ribs 7-8 are provided towards their rounded end 12-13 with a cylindrical cavity, respectively, 17 and 18.

La plaque de base 6 présente de préférence une forme pratiquement rectangulaire avec deux bords parallèles 10 et 11, d'une part, et deux bords courbes 19-20 situés en regard l'un de l'autre, d'autre part, qui sont reliés mutuellement par des coins arrondis 21, en sorte que, sur la face frontale 22 de cette plaque de base 6, on puisse éventuellement appliquer un dessin, un symbole ou quelque chose d'analogue.The base plate 6 preferably has a practically rectangular shape with two parallel edges 10 and 11, on the one hand, and two curved edges 19-20 located opposite one another, on the other hand, which are interconnected by rounded corners 21, so that, on the front face 22 of this base plate 6, one could possibly apply a drawing, a symbol or something similar.

La face avant précitée 22 sera de préférence un tant soit peu bombée.The aforementioned front face 22 will preferably be slightly curved.

Sur la partie arrière de la plaque de base 6, il est encore prévu quatre saillies symétriques de forme prismatique, respectivement, 23-24-25-26 qui sont parallèles et placées dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre par paire.On the rear part of the base plate 6, there are also provided four symmetrical projections of prismatic shape, respectively, 23-24-25-26 which are parallel and placed in the extension of each other in pairs.

Ces saillies 23 à 26 sont situées au voisinage des bords 19 et 20.These projections 23 to 26 are located in the vicinity of the edges 19 and 20.

Dans les figures 9 à 12, on a représenté un des deux éléments internes 4 et 5 de la boucle de fermeture selon l'invention.In Figures 9 to 12, there is shown one of the two internal elements 4 and 5 of the closure loop according to the invention.

Dans cette forme de réalisation, l'élément interne 4 est constitué essentiellement d'un corps 27 dans la partie avant duquel est ménagée, sur toute la hauteur, une encoche 28 en forme de queue d'aronde dans laquelle se trouve, sur la fond et à une certaine distance d'une de ses extrémités, une protubérance 29 de forme hémisphérique, le corps précité 27 étant pourvu sur un seul côté et à chaque extrémité de deux bras, respectivement 30 et 31, qui sont disposés à une distance intermédiaire qui est plus ou moins égale à la longueur du corps 27 et qui sont reliés l'un à l'autre par deux branches parallèles 32 et 33.In this embodiment, the internal element 4 consists essentially of a body 27 in the front part of which is provided, over the entire height, a notch 28 in the form of a dovetail in which is located, on the bottom and at a certain distance from one of its ends, a protuberance 29 of hemispherical shape, the aforementioned body 27 being provided on one side and at each end of two arms, respectively 30 and 31, which are arranged at an intermediate distance which is more or less equal to the length of the body 27 and which are connected to each other by two parallel branches 32 and 33.

La première branche 32 qui relie mutuellement les extrémités des bras 30 et 31 est pourvue sur sa partie avant d'une série de dents pyramidales 34, tandis que la seconde branche 33, qui forme une liaison entre ces bras sur la moitié de la longueur des bras 30 et 31, est pourvue sur l'avant comme sur l'arrière d'un grand nombre de petites dents transversales parallèles de section transversale triangulaire, respectivement 35 et 36.The first branch 32 which connects the ends of the arms 30 and 31 to each other is provided on its front part with a series of pyramidal teeth 34, while the second branch 33, which forms a connection between these arms over half the length of the arms 30 and 31, is provided on the front as on the rear with a large number of small parallel transverse teeth of triangular cross section, respectively 35 and 36.

Il se forme de cette manière entre les branches 32 et 33 des ouvertures de passage 37 et 38 dont les dimensions sont déterminées par les dimensions de la ceinture 1.In this way, there are formed through the branches 32 and 33 passage openings 37 and 38 whose dimensions are determined by the dimensions of the belt 1.

Le second élément interne 5 qui est formé de la même manière que l'élément interne 4 constitue en tant que tel l'image symétrique de celui-ci.The second internal element 5 which is formed in the same way as the internal element 4 constitutes as such the symmetrical image of the latter.

Les éléments interne 4-5 ainsi que la plaque de base 6 peuvent être réalisés dans n'importe quel matériau. De préférence, cependant, on réalisera ces éléments en matière plastique.The internal elements 4-5 as well as the base plate 6 can be made of any material. Preferably, however, these elements will be made of plastic.

Lors de l'usage d'une boucle 3 selon l'invention, comme illustré dans les figures 1 à 3, les extrémités libres d'une ceinture 1 sont acheminées de l'avant à l'arrière à travers l'ouverture de passage 38 qui est prévue dans les éléments internes 4 et 5, après quoi les extrémités libres de la ceinture 1 sont repliées autour de la branche concernée 33, acheminées à travers l'ouverture de passage 37 pour être placées entre la première partie de la ceinture et la branche 32.When using a buckle 3 according to the invention, as illustrated in Figures 1 to 3, the free ends of a belt 1 are routed from front to back through the passage opening 38 which is provided in the internal elements 4 and 5, after which the free ends of the belt 1 are folded around the branch concerned 33, routed through the passage opening 37 to be placed between the first part of the belt and the branch 32.

Chaque partie de ceinture est fixée de cette manière vis-à-vis de l'élément interne concerné 4 et 5 parce qu'elle est solidement tirée sur les dents 35-36 de la branche 33 et sur les dents pyramidales 34 de la branche 32.Each belt part is fixed in this way vis-à-vis the internal element concerned 4 and 5 because it is firmly pulled on the teeth 35-36 of the branch 33 and on the pyramidal teeth 34 of the branch 32.

Les éléments internes 4 et 5 seront fixés à un endroit de la ceinture 1, en d'autre termes, la longueur de la ceinture sera réglée de telle sorte que, lorsque la ceinture est portée, par exemple, dans ce cas autour de la taille d'une personne, ces éléments internes se touchent l'un l'autre.The internal elements 4 and 5 will be fixed at a location on the belt 1, in other words, the length of the belt will be adjusted so that, when the belt is worn, for example, in this case around the waist of a person, these internal elements touch each other.

Pour fixer la ceinture 1, dans ce cas, autour de la taille, il suffit donc d'appliquer sur une nervure, par exemple, la nervure 8 de la plaque de base 6 un élément interne 5 en faisant glisser celui-ci via l'encoche en forme de queue d'aronde 28 de haut en bas sur la nervure 8 plus ou moins juqu'à ce que le bord inférieur du corps 27 de l'élément interne 5 s'appuie contre la butée 16, la protubérance hémisphérique 29 se cliquant alors dans la cavité cylindrique 18 et l'élément interne 5 se fixant solidement sur la plaque de base 6.To fix the belt 1, in this case, around the waist, it suffices therefore to apply to a rib, for example, the rib 8 of the base plate 6, an internal element 5 by sliding it via the dovetail-shaped notch 28 from top to bottom on the rib 8 more or less until the lower edge of the body 27 of the internal element 5 bears against the stop 16, the hemispherical protuberance 29 then clicking in the cylindrical cavity 18 and the internal element 5 fastening securely on the base plate 6.

Ensuite, on déplacera le second élément interne 4 de la même manière sur la nervure 7 de telle sorte que l'on puisse fixer la ceinture autour de la taille.Then, we will move the second internal element 4 in the same way on the rib 7 so that we can fix the belt around the waist.

Au cours de l'application des éléments internes 4 et 5 sur les nervures respectives 7 et 8, les extrémités arrondies 12 et 13 des nervures 7 et 8 veilleront à ce que les encoches 28 des éléments internes soient guidées de manière simple vis-à-vis des nervures.During the application of the internal elements 4 and 5 on the respective ribs 7 and 8, the rounded ends 12 and 13 of the ribs 7 and 8 will ensure that the notches 28 of the internal elements are guided in a simple manner towards screw ribs.

Pour défaire la ceinture, il suffit de dégager l'un des éléments internes de la butée concernée 15 ou 16 vers le haut pour libérer cet élément interne de la plaque de base 6.To undo the belt, it suffices to release one of the internal elements of the relevant stop 15 or 16 upwards to release this internal element from the base plate 6.

Il est clair que, de cette manière, on obtient une boucle très simple à fabriquer et à utiliser qui permet de réaliser la ceinture coopérant avec une telle boucle dans n'importe quel matériau.It is clear that, in this way, a very simple loop to manufacture and use is obtained which makes it possible to produce the belt cooperating with such a loop in any material.

On a représenté dans les figures 13 à 22 une variante de réalisation de la boucle de fermeture selon l'invention.FIGS. 13 to 22 show an alternative embodiment of the closure loop according to the invention.

Cette variante de réalisation ne se différencie de la version précédente que dans la mesure où la plaque de base 6 ne présente qu'une seule encoche 7 qui, dans ce cas, présente un arrondi aux deux extrémités, respectivement, 12 et 12a et dans la mesure où il y a dans la face plane 14 de la nervure 7 deux cavités cylindriques, respectivement, 17 et 17a, tandis que le corps 27 des éléments internes 4 et 5 a une longueur qui est égale à la moitié de la longueur du corps 27 dans la figure 9, donc un peu plus large que ce dernier corps.This alternative embodiment differs from the previous version only insofar as the base plate 6 has only one notch 7 which, in this case, has a rounding at the two ends, respectively, 12 and 12a and in the since there are in the flat face 14 of the rib 7 two cylindrical cavities, respectively, 17 and 17a, while the body 27 of the internal elements 4 and 5 has a length which is equal to half the length of the body 27 in Figure 9, so a little wider than this last body.

Dans ce cas, la fermeture de la boucle se fera, comme on peut mieux le voir dans la figure 21, en faisant glisser les deux éléments internes, qui sont tout à fait identiques dans ce cas, l'un après l'autre sur la nervure 7 jusqu'à ce que les protubérances hémisphériques 29 se cliquent dans les cavités cylindriques correspondantes 17a, respectivement 17.In this case, the closing of the loop will be done, as we can better see in figure 21, by sliding the two internal elements, which are completely identical in this case, one after the other on the rib 7 until the hemispherical protuberances 29 click into the corresponding cylindrical cavities 17a, respectively 17.

Dans les formes de réalisation présentées dans les dessins, l'encoche 28 est toujours ménagée dans les éléments internes 4-5, tandis que la nervure 7 (les nervures 7-8) est (sont) appliquée(s) sur la plaque de base 6. Rien n'empêche cependant de pourvoir les éléments internes 4-5 d'une nervure 7 et de prévoir dans la plaque de base 6 une ou deux encoches 28.In the embodiments shown in the drawings, the notch 28 is always provided in the internal elements 4-5, while the rib 7 (the ribs 7-8) is (are) applied (s) on the base plate 6. However, nothing prevents the internal elements 4-5 from being provided with a rib 7 and providing one or two notches 28 in the base plate 6.

La présente invention n'est en aucune manière limitée aux formes de réalisation décrites à titre d'exemples et représentées dans les dessins annexés, mais cette boucle de fermeture selon l'invention peut être réalisée sous toutes sortes de formes et de dimensions sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.The present invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described by way of examples and shown in the accompanying drawings, but this closure loop according to the invention can be produced in all kinds of shapes and dimensions without departing from the part of the invention.
