Abstract

A belt clip is adapted for storing a belt. The belt clip includes a first clip member and a second clip member that mechanically and removably attaches to the first clip member. The first clip member and the second clip member collectively form an elongated tunnel through which a belt can be looped.

an elongate belt member comprising a first end, a second end and an inner surface near the second end, wherein the inner surface has a series of teeth;

a buckle system removably attached on a first end of the belt member, including a ratchet assembly that engages the series of teeth on the belt member, the buckle including a clamp mechanism that clamps onto the first end of the belt member to secure the belt member to the buckle system, wherein the buckle system further comprises a front door attached to a rear structure on which the clamp mechanism is mounted, and wherein the buckle system further comprises a slot that communicates with an internal cavity of the buckle system, the slot being formed by a space between the front door and the rear structure; and

a coin-shaped structure that fits through the slot into the internal cavity.

2. The belt system as in claim 1 , wherein the door on the belt buckle opens and closes to reveal the internal cavity and wherein the door encloses the coin-shaped structure within the internal cavity when the door is closed.

3. The belt system as in claim 1 , wherein the internal cavity is sized and shaped to contain the coin-shaped structure.
