Adjustable watch strap
An adjustable watch strap having a micro-adjustment system for providing micro adjustments to the circumferential length of the watch strap, in addition to existing standard adjustments. The micro adjustment system is integrated into a buckle (e.g., deployment buckle) and is configured to provide a plurality of microadjustments between standard adjustments or beyond a last or first standard adjustment.
Belt adjustment system
Disclosed are belt adjustment systems, particularly for wearing around a user's waist, that permit a continuum of belt loop sizes or a larger selection of belt loop sizes. The belt adjustment system includes an elongate belt member having a first end, a second end and a series of teeth positioned on an inner surface near the second end and a fixation member having first and second adjustment elements.
ADJUSTABLE WATCH STRAP COMPONENT
One variation of a wrist strap buckle includes a tang including: a base configured to pivot about a buckle bar passing through an end of a first strap segment of a wrist strap; and a tongue configured to insert into holes, arranged at a pitch distance, along a second strap segment of the wrist strap. This variation of the wrist strap buckle further includes a buckle frame including a center section, and a lobe extending from the center section and defining an aperture including: a proximal bore configured to receive the buckle bar in a lengthened configuration; a distal bore, offset from the proximal bore by less than the pitch distance, configured to receive the buckle bar in a shortened configuration; and a slot extending between the proximal and distal bores. This variation of the wrist strap buckle further includes a slit extending through the lobe and intersecting the aperture.

Belt buckle system with threaded retainers
Clothing belt adjustment systems are configured for wearing around a user's body such as around the waist. The belt adjustment system includes a belt and a buckle wherein the belt can be looped and secured to the buckle to secure the belt around a user's waist or other portion of the body. The buckle has a body with a thin side profile that is not overly bulky such that it can comfortably fit over the button region of a wearer's pants. The buckle advantageously includes one or more threaded retainer members, such as threaded screws, that secure one portion of the buckle to another portion of the buckle.
Dual-layer elastic belt with enhanced durability and customization
An elastic belt includes a dual-layer structure, including a first elongate layer formed of an elastic material and a second elongate layer also formed of an elastic material, the second layer being coupled to the first layer along at least a portion of their respective lengths. The first layer provides a base with structural support, while the second layer features a thinner construction and is configured for aesthetic customization. A coupling means secures the two layers, maintaining their positional relationship during elongation to prevent overstretching or deformation. The belt further includes a fastening mechanism disposed at one end of the first layer, enabling secure and adjustable closure. The dual-layer construction allows for enhanced durability, elasticity, and design retention, with the first and second layers working together to provide improved functional and visual performance. Variations in coupling methods, layer materials, and fastening mechanisms enable adaptability for different applications.

Length Adjustable Clasp Assembly
A clasp assembly that provides a length adjustment mechanism. The clasp assembly is constructed from two components that can be threaded together or apart from each other in order to adjust the length of the clasp assembly. A first component attaches to the first end of a strap, and has a threaded connector for attaching to a second component. The second component includes at least one clasp component to facilitate fastening to the second end of the strap, and has a threaded connector that mates with the first component's threaded connector counterpart. A length adjustment is achieved by rotating the second component relative to the first component to thread them together or apart. Changing the distance between the two components allows adjustment of the fastened length of the clasp assembly and strap for an improved fit.

BELT BUCKLE, IN PARTICULAR OF LEATHER GOODS, AND BELT, IN PARTICULAR OF LEATHER GOODS, COMPRISING SUCH A BUCKLE
A belt buckle, in particular leatherware, includes a body having a first face and a second face opposite the first face, a prong mechanically connected to the body and a loop mechanically connected to the body, the prong and the loop being movably mounted relative to the body, and the buckle being configured to accept a first configuration in which the prong and the loop protrude from the second face and a second configuration in which the prong and the loop are displaced relative to the body and protrude from the first face.
