  • Patent number: 9155361
    Abstract: A mechanical lever buckle having a buckle base plate, a lever element, a buckle prong and a belt loop element having a belt guiding element for guiding a belt in a belt guiding direction is disclosed. The buckle base plate includes an elongated slit oriented in the belt guiding direction. The lever element includes an elongated guiding opening that allows passage of at least a portion of the buckle prong. The lever element is attached to the buckle base plate at a first rotation axis, such that during rotation the elongated guiding opening intersects at all time with the elongated slit and the buckle prong slides along the slit and the elongated guiding opening. The lever element includes a lever tooth that interacts with a belt loop tooth when the lever element is rotated to the determined angle of rotation to block a belt loop element's movement.

  • Publication number: 20140075723
    Abstract: The invention provides a mechanical lever buckle (400) that comprises a buckle base plate (402), a buckle prong (30) and a belt loop element (404) having a belt guiding means allowing to guide a belt in a belt guiding direction. The lever buckle (400) further comprises a lever element (406). The buckle base plate (402) comprises an elongated slit (412) with a direction corresponding to the belt guiding direction that allows to slide the buckle prong (30) in belt guiding direction of the slit (412). The lever element (406) comprises an elongated guiding opening (64) that allows to slide the buckle prong (30) in a first length direction of the guiding opening (64). The lever element (406) is attached to the buckle base plate (402) at a first of its extremities around a first rotation axis (61), such that during rotation of the lever element (406) the buckle prong (30) slides along the slit (412) and the elongated guiding opening (64).
