Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to belt buckles, and more particularly to a belt buckle having a removable cap element.
  • a conventional belt 1 has a belt buckle 12 fixedly attached to an end of a belt member 11. The other end of the belt member 11 is then locked to the belt buckle 12 for fastening the belt 1 around the waist.
  • the basic structure of the belt just described has not been changed for a very long time. Variations are usually centered around the material used for the belt member 11, how the belt buckle 12 locks the tip of the belt member 11, or the ornamental design of the belt buckle 12.
  • a major objective of the present invention is to provide a novel belt buckle which has an indentation on the front surface accommodating a removable cap element held by magnetic attraction.
  • the indentation has a stepwise bottom surface for easy removal of the cap element.
  • Another major objective of the present invention is to provide a novel belt buckle which has an indentation on the front surface accommodating a removable carrier member capable of integrating various function such as electronic clock and remote control.
  • the carrier member in turn has an indentation for removably holding a cap element by magnetic attraction.
  • the carrier member's indentation has a stepwise bottom surface for easy removal of the cap element.
  • a belt buckle 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention has an indentation 21 on the front surface of the body of the belt buckle 2.
  • the bottom surface of the indentation 21 is divided into two parts of substantially equal sizes, a first bottom 22 having a greater depth and a second bottom 23 having a smaller depth.
  • a magnet 3 is fixedly positioned in the center of the indentation 21 at where the first and second bottoms 22 and 23 interface with each other.
  • the indentation 21 allows the accommodation of a cap element 4.
  • Another magnet 41 is fixedly embedded on the bottom surface of the cap element 4.
  • the magnet 41 has a polarity opposite to that of the magnet 3 and is positioned such that, when the cap element 4 is placed inside the indentation 21, the magnets 3 and 41 are next to each other.
  • the magnetic attraction between the magnets 3 and 41 therefore removably holds the cap element 4 inside the indentation 21.
  • the front surface of the cap element 4 can have an ornamental pattern 42 such as a company, club, or team logo or even a picture for enhanced appearance.
  • the cap element 4 when the cap element 4 is placed inside the indentation 21, a gap is reserved between the bottom surface of the cap element 4 and the first bottom 22. As such, by pressing the part of the cap element 4 above the gap, the other part of the cap element 4 will be raised out of the indentation 21. The cap element 4 therefore can be easily removed from the indentation 21.
  • the cap element 4 is very much like a coin and therefore can be used in various occasions as a substitue. For example, on the golf course, it can be used by a golfer to mark the position of the golf ball. For another example, in the supermarket, it can be used as a substitute for a coin to retrieve a chained shopping cart.
  • the aperture of the indentation 21 is slightly larger than the cap element 4.
  • the bottom surface of the indentation 21 again contains a deeper first bottom 22 and a shallower second bottom 23.
  • the bottom surface of the indentation 21 further contains a narrow third bottom 24 between the first bottom 22 and the circumference of the indentation 21.
  • the third bottom 24 is as high as the second bottom 23.
  • the magnet 3 is configured slightly close to the third bottom 23.
  • the user slides the cap element 4 away from the third bottom 24 so that a part of the cap element 4 is entirely above the first bottom 22. Then, by pressing the part of the cap element 4 above the first bottom 22, as shown in FIG 8 , the other part of the cap element 4 is raised out of the indentation 21 for easy removal of the cap element 4.
  • the indentation 21 has a flat bottom surface, instead of a stepwise bottom surface as in the previous embodiments.
  • a rod 28 having an embedded magnet (not shown) is provided in the center of the indentation 21.
  • the cap element 4 can be held on top of the rod 28.
  • a user can press any part of the cap element 4 other than the center to raise an opposite part of the cap element 4 for easy removal.
  • the belt buckle 2 has an indentation 25 on the front surface of the body.
  • the indentation 25 is extended to two opposing sides of the belt buckle 2 via two aligned troughs 26, respectively.
  • the carrier member 5 can also be held inside the indentation 25 by other means such as clamping in alternative embodiments.
  • the carrier member 5 has an indentation 51 on the front surface.
  • the bottom surface of the indentation 51 is, like the previous embodiments, divided into two parts of substantially equal sizes, a first bottom 52 having a greater depth and a second bottom 53 having a smaller depth.
  • a magnet 6 is fixedly positioned in the center of the indentation 51 at where the first and second bottoms 52 and 53 interface with each other.
  • the indentation 51 allows the accommodation of a cap element 7.
  • Another magnet 71 is fixedly embedded on the bottom surface of the cap element 7.
  • the magnet 71 has a polarity opposite to that of the magnet 6 and is positioned such that, as shown in FIG 13 , when the cap element 7 is placed inside the indentation 51, the magnets 6 and 71 are next to each other.
  • the magnetic attraction between the magnets 6 and 71 therefore removably holds the cap element 7 inside the indentation 51.
  • the front surface of the cap element 7 can have an ornamental pattern 72.
  • the removal of the cap element 7 from the carrier member 5 can be conducted in the same way described earlier.
  • a user could use the finger to reach the rim of the carrier member 5 through the trough 26 and lift the carrier member 5 out of the indentation 25.
  • the carrier member 5 itself can have other integrated functions.
  • the carrier member 5 can contain an electronic clock 53 with the readings shown on the back surface.
  • the carrier member 5 can be flipped with its back surface facing outwards. A user therefore can enjoy the various timing functions of the electronic clock 54.
  • a remote control 55 e.g., for the garage door
  • the carrier member 5 is integrated to the carrier member 5 with its control buttons on the back surface so that the user will never forget to bring remote control or where the remote control is placed.
