Year: 1884

page_text: I CHARLES NEWBOLD EYLAND of Walsall in the County of Stafford, Buckle
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN. BRACE BELT AND BAND BUCKLES to be as follows:-
:-
This invention consists in constructing a buckle the back plate of which has an
upper slot and a lower slot the upper edge of which lower slot carries teeth. Across
this slot is pivotted a flat piece of metal acting as the lever the upper edge of
which is bent over from front to back to form a face against which the teeth can
press.
In threading the webbing or other material to be fastened it is passed through
the upper slot from the back and then through the lower slot from the front
between the teeth and the flat piece of metal or lever. This flat piece being then
pressed down prosses the webbing against the teeth and secures it.

This invention consists in constructing a buckle the back plate of which has an
upper slot and a lower slot the upper edge of which lower slot carries teeth, across
this alot is pivotted a flat piece of metal acting as the lover the upper edge of which
is bent over from front to back to form a face against which the teeth can press.
In threading the webbing or other material to be fastened it is passed through
the upper slot from the back and then through the lower slot from the front
between the teeth and the flat piece of metal or lever. This flat piece being then
pressed down presses the webbing against the teeth and secures it.
Referring to the drawings Fig 1 is a section of a brace buckle enlarged to
about double ordinary size Fig 2 a back view and Fig 3 a front view of a buckle
shewn about ordinary size (a) is the upper slot and (b) the lower slot in the back
plate (c), the upper edge of the lower slot (b) having the teeth (d), (e) is the flat
piece of metal pivotted at (f) and acting as a lever, the upper edge being bent over
to form a Hat face against which the teeth (d) press when it is turned up against
them. In the sectional view the webbing (g) is shewn threaded in the requisite
way namely passed in from the back through the upper slot (a) then through the
lower slot (b) from the front between the teeth (d) and the flat end of the lever (e).
The lever (6) being then pressed down presses the webbing against the teeth (d)
and secures it.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be porformed I declare that what
I claim is
.
The improvement in brace belt and band buckles by constructing them with, a
pivotted flat piece of metal acting as a lever for the purposo and substantially in
the nanner herein set forth and illustrated.
