Abstract:
1. A multi-functional belt buckle comprising: a body having a circumference and a front surface formed with an indentation, said indentation having a first bottom surface, a second bottom surface adjacent to and higher than the first bottom surface to form a junction plane between them, and a third bottom surface extended from said circumference of said body into the first bottom surface and having same depth as said second bottom surface, the first bottom surface and the third bottom surface being on a same circumferential wall, opposite of the second bottom surface; a cap element removably embedded in said indentation; a first magnet fixedly positioned in a center of the junction plane of said first and second bottom surfaces, said first magnet being slightly close to said third bottom surface; a second magnet fixedly embedded on a bottom surface of said cap element, said second magnet having a polarity opposite to that of said first magnet; wherein when said cap element is put inside said indentation, magnetic attraction would automatically draw said cap element to rest on said second and third bottom surfaces thereby preventing said cap element from being accidentally removed from said indentation as an edge of said cap element is supported by said third bottom surface; when desired to remove said cap element from said indentation, it is necessary to horizontally slide said cap element along a planar surface away from said third bottom surface and then press a part of said cap element to raise other part of said cap element for easy removal of said cap element.
