A duty belt includes a belt and a buckle. A first fixed belt end is rigidly secured to the belt, and a second free belt end having longitudinally-distributed recesses is releasably engaged with at least one rigid buckle pin via at least one recess in the closed state of the duty belt. In the closed state, the free end is guided through a buckle opening and overlaps with the fixed end. The buckle has two perpendicularly and longitudinally offset buckle plates such that a connection element with precisely one opening for passing through the belt is between the two plates. The first plate inner face has a securing device securing the fixed end to the buckle while the second plate inner face has the at least one rigid pin so that one plate is constantly visible from outside in the closed state regardless of which belt side lies outside.

The present invention is directed to a belt device (200), comprising: a strap (11); a buckle (10) comprising a front panel (10a) and a back panel (10b); a fastener, for preventing from the strap to loosen; a first (21) and a second (22) entrances, for entry of opposite edges of the strap (11) into the buckle (10); an exit (23) for a trail (13) to an inner side of the belt device; a curved passage (20) connecting one of the entrances with the exit (23), thereby when wearing the belt device, concealing the trail (13), and providing a symmetry to the belt device.

A folding clasp for a wrist watch comprising a first bracket (3) and a second bracket (4), wherein the first bracket (3) has a first securing mechanism (6) for securing a wristband or a watch housing of the wrist watch, wherein the second bracket (4) has a second securing mechanism (7) for securing the wristband (2) of the wrist watch, wherein the first bracket (3) and the second bracket (4) are moveably connected to one another, such that the first and the second brackets (3, 4) can be moved relative to one another between an open state and a closed state of the folding clasp (1), wherein the folding clasp has a locking mechanism (9) in order to retain the first and the second brackets (3, 4) in the closed state, wherein the second securing mechanism (7) has a protruding pin (74) which is designed to be guided through the wristband (2) in order to secure the wristband in various axial positions in the second securing mechanism (7), wherein the second securing mechanism (7) has a blocking means (8) which is designed to retain the distal end of the pin (74) guided through the wristband (2) such that the wristband is blocked on the pin (74) in the open state of the folding clasp (1).

The buckle for a belt or a strap comprises an ardillion (800) mounted on a movable lever (801) for being placed in at least two positions, a upper one where the ardillion is not engaged in a hole of said belt or strap, and a lower one where the ardillon is engaged in a hole (7) of said belt or strap. Said lever is mounted in an adjustment lever (90) of the buckle that allows the belt to take at least a loose position and a tight position.

A support belt (10) includes an elongate belt (12) having a dead end region (14) and a live end region (16) and buckling (18) to releasably connect the dead and live end regions (14,16) in a relaxed tightness condition of the support belt (10) and secure the dead and live end regions (14,16) in a tightened closed condition of the support belt (10) in which a free end (20) of the live end region (16) overlies a free end (22) of the dead end region (14). The buckling (18) comprises a first anchor portion (24) fixedly secured to the live end region (16), a second anchor portion (26) configured to releasably engage apertures (28) provided in the dead end region (14) and a locking mechanism (30) pivotally connected with the first and second anchor portions (24,26) and operable to draw the first anchor portion (24) towards the second anchor portion (26) to change the tightness condition of the support belt (10) from the relaxed tightness condition to the tightened closed condition.

A wristband assembly is provided having a strap assembly with a first strap and a second strap. Each strap has a plurality of apertures arranged thereon such that the apertures on each strap align, allowing for prongs of a clasp member to pass through and connect each strap. The clasp member has an upper lateral bar disposed at an offset position above a lower lateral bar, whereby the upper lateral bar acts as a snag-guard. Each prong has a first lip and a second lip, both of which are slightly larger than the corresponding apertures through which the prongs pass through, allowing each lip to hold a strap in place when engaged with the clasp member. When the two straps are connected via the clasp member, the clasp member acts as a snag-guard to the first strap and simultaneously as the sole means of connection between the two straps forming a wristband.

A belt has a strap defining a fixed end and a loose end and a buckle engaging the strap. The buckle has a frame defining a channel between outer and inner portions thereof and the outer portion extends beyond the lower portion. A prong protrudes from an undersurface of the outer portion into the channel to engage one of a series of holes of the loose end of the strap passing through the channel. The buckle also has a separable chape connecting the fixed end of the strap and which fits through a rear entrance of the channel to releasably connect to the inner portion of the frame.

A support belt (10) includes an elongate belt (12) having a dead end region (14) and a live end region (16) and buckling (18) to releasably connect the dead and live end regions (14,16) in a relaxed tightness condition of the support belt (10) and secure the dead and live end regions (14,16) in a tightened closed condition of the support belt (10) in which a free end (20) of the live end region (16) overlies a free end (22) of the dead end region (14). The buckling (18) comprises a first anchor portion (24) fixedly secured to the live end region (16), a second anchor portion (26) configured to releasably engage apertures (28) provided in the dead end region (14) and a locking mechanism (30) pivotally connected with the first and second anchor portions (24,26) and operable to draw the first anchor portion (24) towards the second anchor portion (26) to change the tightness condition of the support belt (10) from the relaxed tightness condition to the tightened closed condition.

A support belt (10) includes an elongate belt (12) having a dead end region (14) and a live end region (16) and buckling (18) to releasably connect the dead and live end regions in a relaxed tightness condition of the support belt and secure the dead and live end regions in a tightened closed condition of the support belt in which a free end of the live end region overlies a free end of the dead end region. The buckling (18) has a first anchor portion (24) fixed to the live end region (16), a second anchor portion (26) configured to releasably engage apertures 28 provided in the dead end region and a locking mechanism (30) pivotally connected with the first and second anchor portions and operable to draw the first anchor portion towards the second anchor portion to change the tightness condition of the support belt from the relaxed tightness condition to the tightened closed condition.

A weightlifting belt includes a flexible strap portion with a first major surface (e.g., a front), a second major surface (e.g., a back), a first longitudinal end, a second longitudinal end, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side. An anchor assembly is in contact with the first major surface of the flexible strap portion near the first longitudinal end of the flexible strap portion. A lever-actuated hook assembly is in contact with the first major surface of the flexible strap portion near the second longitudinal end of the flexible strap portion. The lever-actuated hook assembly is configured to engage the anchor assembly so as to hold the first longitudinal end of the strap portion close to, or in physical contact with, the second longitudinal end of the strap portion so as to form a loop that can fit around a waist of a human.
