Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fashion belt which can be easily attached to and detached from belts having various sectional shapes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In men's and women's clothing, a belt has been widely used not only as a tool for simply tightening or fixing but also in recent years as a decoration. As the belt, a belt made of various animal hides such as cowhide or various rigid resins such as vinyl chloride and processed into an appropriate width is usually used. The cross-sectional shape is also related to the above material, and a flat one is usually used, and the buckle as a connecting tool at both ends of this belt is also a structure suitable for fixing a flat belt so as to adapt to the cross-sectional shape. The majority are

[0003]

The conventional belt described above is
Most of them have a flat cross section, and therefore the buckle that connects both ends of the belt has a structure adapted to a flat cross section belt. Even if an attempt is made to use the three-dimensional belt as a fashion belt, it is one of the factors that hinder the spread of such a fashion belt because there is no suitable connecting tool.

In particular, in order to enhance the decorativeness of the belt, it is often desired to use a material having extremely large surface irregularities such as a crocodile, leather of a large lizard, and a braid. If you try to attach it to a pair of men's pants, women's skirts, dresses, etc. as a single belt without damaging the unevenness of the surface, most of the connectors on both ends are flat belts. Therefore, in order to adapt the connector to flatten the cross-sectional shape of both ends of these materials, not only high processing technology is required, but also the strength of the part is significantly reduced. Therefore, it is difficult to use such a material as a fashion belt, which has hindered its widespread use.

Therefore, the present invention can be widely applied to various materials and belts having various sectional shapes.
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a fashion belt that can be easily tightened and removed.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a belt having a fixing member at one end and an insertion member at the other end, and fixing the fixing member at one end, In a fashion belt comprising a buckle having an engaging member that inserts the inserting member from the other end and engages and disengages at an arbitrary position, a wedge member is provided between the fixing member and the inserting member, and the wedge, The member has a wedge-shaped cross section whose thickness changes in the longitudinal direction, and a protrusion is provided on the inner surface of the belt of the wedge member.

[0007]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when fixing the fixing member and the inserting member to the belt, the belt is covered with a wedge member, and the fixing member and the inserting member are provided on the outer periphery thereof in the longitudinal direction. When moved to, the inner surface of the wedge member presses the outer circumference of the belt due to the wedge action of the wedge member, and the protrusion on the inner surface of the wedge member bites into the outer circumference of the belt to firmly fix it. After the fixing member is fixed to one end of the belt and the insertion member is fixed to the other end in this manner, the fixing member is fixed to one end of the buckle. Next, the insertion member of the belt is inserted from the other end of the buckle, locked and locked at an arbitrary position by a locking tool, and the belt is fastened and fixed.
