Definitions

• belt also mentioned as “girdle”, “waistband”, etc., refers to the article of clothing that is worn around the waist with the purpose of supporting or just decorating the garments, such as trousers, shorts, skirts, jackets, coats, etc.
• the belt is composed of two parts: the first one usually consists in a flexible strip made with material such as leather, skin, wool, cotton, etc.; the latter, placed at one end of the strip and joint with it, is the buckle which can be of various shapes and sizes and anyway almost all of the are metallic of stainless steel, brass, or other alloys.
• the buckle can be mounted on a strip, usually made of the same material as the belt, and attached to the latter with a seam, a screw, a rivet or any other way which makes it rigid and immovable, buckle keeper Fig. 1.
• Traditional belts are made in the way that the metal buckle can not be easily removed from the belt.
• the quick release buckle keeper proposed here allows in a few seconds, with a simple and easy operation, quick removal and the subsequent quick restoration of the belt's metal buckle ensuring a perfect hold.
• the buckle keeper is tightly and securely fixed to the belt, it can be easily and quickly unhooked in correspondence of the junction element Fig. 1 (2) and Fig 1 (3).
• This simple operation allows to release and remove all the metallic elements from the belt.
• airports, harbors, museums, churches and public and private places of special interest, routine inspections, security checks aimed at metal objects search are executed; while carrying out these procedures, conventional belts are one of the main reasons of considerable waste of time.
• the quick-release belt buckle prevents the belt itself from having to be removed and rethreaded through the loops of the trousers, skirts etc., as it happens with the traditional belts, thus avoiding that the buckle's metallic part interferes with the equipment for the detection of metal objects (metal detector) anyway ensuring accurate, thorough and secure controls.
• metal objects metal detector
• the quick-release belt buckle due to its use simplicity and quickness, facilitates the user from the uncomfortable and long maneuvers of removing and rethreading the belt to the loops of trousers, skirts etc., operations carried out in very uncomfortable contexts and causing time waste and very annoying situations, usually in precarious and stressful situations. Due to the ease of use, the hereby-mentioned belt also allows easy substitution of the buckle or the belt.
