  • Patent number: 6859981
    Abstract: A fine adjustable sliding buckle is described. The fine sliding adjustable buckle has a base having two pairs of axial holes respectively for axially fitting the axles of the releasing plate and fine adjustment handle. The axles positioned on the two sides of the fine adjustment handle and the releasing plate are fitted in the axial holes on the same side of the base, and the handling portion of the fine adjustment handle has a receiving hole for receiving the releasing plate. Thus the fine adjustment handle and the releasing plate are positioned along the same direction and are positioned almost on the same plane to prevent accidental touch which would otherwise accidentally release the releasing plate from the base to loosen the adjustment belt. Thus, the fine adjustable sliding buckle of the present invention is easy to operate, safe and compact.
