  • Patent number: 3969836
    Abstract: Combined ornamental and functional buckle such as attachable to belt, shoulder or pack strap, etc. is characterized by front peripheral, channel-forming frame surrounding and edge-overlying an outwardly convex, rectangular face which thus forms a backing surface for a generally planar, inserted display card or panel having its marginal area thus held by the frame.The indicia-bearing panel is typically like a plastic ID card having sufficient flexibility and resilience to be self-anchoring when slid edge-wise into the channel where it may flex opposite to the curvature of the backing surface. A downturned lip of the frame partially overhangs the entry slot so as to form an end abutment for the trailing edge of the panel when completely inserted. Alternate construction of two-piece buckle provides flat-sided keeper for locking insertion at entry end so as to retain both backing plate and display panel held together in the frame, the backing plate in this case not necessarily being curved.
