Abstract: A karabiner having at least one hoop (1) and at least one closing part (2) and at least one insertion opening (3) of the hoop (1), which can be closed by the closing part (2) in its closed position, with the closing part (2) being mounted pivotally via a closing part pivoting axle (4) to the loop (1) between the closed position and a maximally opened position and at least one blocking element (5) being pivotally mounted at or in the closing part (2) via a blocking element—pivot axle (6), with the blocking element (5), at least in a closed position of the closing part (2), blocking the closing part (2) in its closed position from pivoting in the direction towards its maximally opened position and in at least one released position allows the closing part (2) to pivot in the direction towards its maximally opened position.

Abstract: A buckle for connecting first and second straps (6, 7) includes a buckle body (1) that has, with respect to the longitudinal direction (5) of the straps (6, 7) to be connected, left and right side parts (11, 12) and first and second cross bars (2, 3) extending between the left and right side parts (11, 12) transverse to the longitudinal direction (5) of the straps (6, 7) to be connected and the buckle body has a movable middle bar (4) that extends transverse to the longitudinal direction (5) of the straps (6, 7) to be connected and that is supported so that it can move relative to the left and right side parts (11, 12) in the longitudinal direction (5) of the straps (6, 7) to be connected. The middle bar (4) rests on resting bars (13a, 13b) of the side parts (11, 12).

Abstract: A method for producing a belt buckle, comprising an insertion part (2) having at least a belt opening (4, 5) for guiding a belt (7) and an insertion appendage (15) extending in a direction of insertion (16) with holding catches (17, 18) at both sides projecting in the perpendicular direction, and a receiving part (1) having a basic body (19) with at least a belt opening (3) for guiding a belt (6) and with an insertion opening (20), beginning at an inserting side (21) of the basic body (19) for inserting the insertion appendage (15) of the insertion part (2) in the direction of insertion (16), and with latches (24, 25) pivotally mounted to the basic body (19), which in the locking position in the inserted state of the receiving part (1) and the insertion part (2) cooperate with holding catches (17, 18) and retain the insertion appendage (15) in the insertion opening (20) of the receiving part (1).
