PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Strap Buckle.
I, WALTER WILLIAM JONES of 24 and 26 Holloway Road in the County of
London Harness Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The loop of the buckle constructed according to my invention is formed with an
upturned part at the outer or front bar end and by preference with an easy curve.
The tongue is made with two lateral wings or parts which bear upon the sides of
the loop and with a forwardly slanting upstanding peg, forming the end which
enters the hole in the strap but does not bear upon the transverse front bar of the
loop. By this means the pull is rendered far more direct than in the ordinary strap
buckles while at the same time the tongue can be more easily released while under
great strain; also the heaviest strain on the tongue is so distributed as to render it
far less liable to give way. In another form the loop might be provided with a lug
projecting inwards from each side, making the wings on the tongue so much
narrower but taking their bearings on the said parts of the loop as in the first
example.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Strap Buckle.
I, WALTER WILLIAM JONES of 24 and 26 Holloway Road in the County of
London Harness Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
The loop of the buckle constructed according to my invention is formed with an
upturned part at the outer or front bar end and by preference with an easy curve.
The tongue is made with two lateral wings or parts which bear upon the side of
the loop or upon a crossbar between the sides or upon lugs projecting inwardly
from the sides and has a forwardly slanting upstanding peg forming the end which
enters the hole in the strap but does not bear upon the top of the transverse front
bar of the loop as in the usual buckle.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings is a side view of such a buckle as fitted
to connect two strap ends.
Figure 2 is a plan view and Figure 3 a cross section through the buckle.
The loop A is turned up with an easy curve at the front bar end A'. The
tongue B has two lateral wings B which bear upon the sides of the loop A.
Figure 4 is a plan view Figure 5 a sectional side view and Figure 6 a cross section
of another form in which the side wings B2 of the peg rest upon a crossbar A² of
shallower depth than the sides of the buckle A or so that the wings B2 come about
flush with the top of the said sides or instead of an entire crossbar I may provide a
lug projecting a little way inwards from each side.
By means of my invention the pull is rendered far more direct than in the
ordinary strap (as will be seen at a glance by a comparison with Figure 7 which in
dotted lines shews an ordinary strap buckle fitted) while at the same time the
tongue can be more easily released while under great strain. The heaviest strain
on the tongue is moreover so distributed as to render it far less liable to give way.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to, be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1. A strap buckle having the front bar end turned up and which is provided
with a tongue the peg of which is turned up hookwise to suit, and the body of
which is formed so as to rest on the sides of the loop or on a part or parts projecting
therefrom substantially as set forth.
2. The constructions of strap buckle shown on the drawing.
