Umre STATES PATENT omen CHARLES SLAVENS, OF NEWARK, NEW ERSEY, ASSIGNOR 'IO BOYDEN SHOE MFG. (30., INCORPORATED, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, A CORPORATION.
BELT.
Application filed January 15, 1921. Serial No. 437,459.
T 0 all whomit may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES SLAvENs, a citizen of United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Belts, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to belts.
Some of the objects of the present invention are: to provide means for varying the length of a belt; to produce a belt which embodies an element of interconnected separable units; to provide a detachable memher at each end of said element for connecting the ends of the said element together; to construct an element of interconnect-ed units of leather, and detachable connecting means to constitute a belt which will possess the desired flexibility and artistic appear ance. With those mentioned and other objects in view, the invention resides in the particular provision and relative arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described andillustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure l is a front elevation of a belt constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 22, Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a front elevation of a modified form of belt constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional View taken on the line 44, Figure 3.
Referring now, more particularly, for the details, it will be manifest that, in Figures 1 and 2 there has been shown a belt which comprises an element 10 made up from a plurality of units 11. The units 11 are stamped out of odds and ends of waste material such as leather. Each of the units 11 includes apertures 12 and they are otherwise so shaped and formed, as to be capable of interconnection for the completion of a single element of separable units.
In Figures 3 and 4 of the drawing, a modification has been illustrated, and this modification has to do principally with the mode of attachment of the means for effecting the connection of the opposite ends of the element 10 together. In this form of the invention there is provided an extra unit 30 which is similar to the units 31 from which the element 10 is made, except that the unit 30 embodies coacting fastening elements 32 and 33. There is also provided a member 34 which has an aperture 35 and an aperture 36. In order that the unit 30 may be connected to .and disconnected from the element 10, the unit 37 is slitted as at 38. In effecting the connection of the member 34, a part of the unit 30 is made to extend through the aperture 36, and a part of the fastening element 32 is made to extend through the aperture 35. The said fastening elements 32 and 33 are then brought together to securely hold the member 34 attached to the element 10. An ordinary buckle 39 is attached to the unit 40. The unit 40 is provided with an aperture 41 so s t a mm ate the tongue 42 of the buckle 39. The member 34 is provided with long, it cannot be made to encircle waists of different sizes and not have a long dangling end necessitating a number of loops to support it.
What is claimed is: a I
1. As a new article of manufacture, a belt comprising an element of identical'separable units, each of which has an aperture. detachable means at eachend of the element for connecting the ends of the element togethen-the said means including a part extendible through the aperture in either of said units, and coacting fastening elements.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a belt comprisingan element of a plurality of interconnected units each of Which is apertured, a detachable member at each end of said element,- abuckle having a tongue at tached to one of said members, the other of said members having holes therein for the reception of said tongue.
In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature. .i
CHARLES SLAVETBIS.
