FASTENER WITH CONCEALED TOOL BITS

摘要

A multifunctional belt comprising an elongate belt strap having an end flap segment selectively transitional relative to a body segment between a looped configuration and an extended configuration. A fastener is coupled to the belt strap for securing the end flap segment in the looped configuration. A buckle is coupled to the belt strap and includes a buckle frame, a cross bar, and at least one tool bit. The buckle frame defines a longitudinal frame axis, and the cross bar extends between opposed portions of the buckle frame and defines cross bar axis that is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal frame axis. The tool bit is pivotally coupled to the cross bar and is pivotable about the cross bar axis. The tool bit is sized and positioned to be captured between the end flap segment and the body segment when the end flap segment is in the looped configuration.

主权项

1. A multifunctional belt comprising:
an elongate belt strap extending along a longitudinal strap axis, the belt strap having an end flap segment and a body segment, the end flap segment being selectively transitional relative to the body segment between a looped configuration and an extended configuration, the end flap segment being folded back towards the body segment to overlap a portion of the body segment as the end flap segment transitions from the extended configuration towards the looped configuration; a fastener coupled to the belt strap and configured to detachably secure the end flap segment in the looped configuration; and a buckle coupled to the belt strap and having:
a buckle frame defining a longitudinal frame axis;a cross bar extending between opposed portions of the buckle frame and defining cross bar axis that is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal frame axis; andat least one tool bit pivotally coupled to the cross bar and pivotable about the cross bar axis, the at least one tool bit being sized and positioned to be:
captured between the end flap segment and the body segment when the end flap segment is in the looped configuration; anduncovered by the end flap segment as the end flap segment transitions from the looped configuration towards the extended configuration.
