BELT FASTENER SYSTEM INCLUDING A BUCKLE MECHANISM

摘要

A waist belt fastener system includes a belt and a buckle mechanism attached to the belt. The buckle includes a rectangular frame having upper and lower sides that are curved outwardly, creating a convex shape that curves away from the belt wearer. At the rear side of the buckle frame where the buckle attaches to the belt, a fixed tongue member projects away from the buckle frame. This tongue member is fastened to the belt such as by a rivet, firmly anchoring and securing the buckle to the belt and inhibiting movement of the buckle relative to the belt. At the front side of the buckle frame, a fixed prong projects inwardly towards the buckle opening. The prong rests against the belt once it is threaded through the buckle opening. A hook and loop closure system is used to attach the ends of the belt together once the belt is inserted through the buckle opening.
