Abstract: The Belt Ratchet Device (BRD) facilitates belt fastening and release. The BRD has two states: “active” and “inactive”. In the active state the device works as a belt ratchet i.e. allowing the belt to be pulled forwards but restricting any belt motion backwards. After fastening the belt remains fastened until the BRD is switched into inactive state by manually pulling a lever. Each BRD has a turning gate rotatably installed in a channel with tapered front end with sharp edge with a smooth side. A preloaded spring keeps the BRD in active state when the lever is not pulled. The BRD doesn't employ serrated surfaces, which cause accelerated belt wear. Instead, the BRD's smooth side and channel's smooth surfaces minimize belt wear. Various configurations of BRDs facilitate belt fastening of footwear. Single BRDs can be used for fastening garments and other objects.
