Belt buckle for the releasable connection of a belt
Belt buckle for releasable connection of a belt to another belt or object. The belt buckle has a male buckle part with a plug-in extension and a female buckle part with a receptacle, and a locking device. The plug-in extension of the male buckle part is insertable into the receptacle of the female buckle part and the buckle parts are lockable to each other in a locking state by the locking device. In the locking state, the buckle parts are arrangeable relative to each other in a neutral position, in which the locking device can be brought into an unlocking position to separate the buckle parts. The buckle parts are additionally arrangeable relative to each other in a blocking position, pivoted in relation to the neutral position, in which the locking device is blocked in a locking position to prevent the buckle parts from being separated from each other.
1. A belt buckle for releasable connection of a belt to another belt or to another object, comprising a male buckle part with at least one plug-in extension and a female buckle part with at least one plug-in-extension receptacle, and a locking device, wherein, in order to lock the buckle parts, the plug-in extension of the male buckle part is insertable into the plug-in-extension receptacle of the female buckle part and the buckle parts are lockable to each other in a locking state by the locking device, in the locking state, the buckle parts are arrangeable relative to each other in at least one neutral position, in which the locking device can be brought into an unlocking position in order to separate the buckle parts from each other, and, in the locking state, the buckle parts are additionally arrangeable relative to each other in at least one blocking position pivoted in relation to the neutral position, and in the blocking position, the locking device is blocked in a locking position in order to prevent the buckle parts from being separated from each other; and
wherein, in the locking state, one of the buckle parts is pivotable in a direction toward the locking device relative to the other buckle part on a path from the neutral position into the blocking position.
2. The belt buckle according to claim 1 , wherein, in the locking state, the buckle parts are pivoted exclusively in one plane between the neutral position and the blocking position.
3. The belt buckle according to claim 1 , wherein, in the locking state, the belt buckle has at least two of the blocking positions, and the neutral position is arranged between the blocking positions.
4. The belt buckle according to claim 1 , wherein, in the locking state, the locking device engages in an undercut of the belt buckle, and the locking device is guidable out of the undercut in the neutral position and is retained in an interlocking manner in the undercut in the blocking position.
5. The belt buckle according to claim 4 , wherein the undercut is formed in the plug-in extension of the male buckle part.
6. The belt buckle according to claim 4 , wherein the locking device is a lever that is pivotable about a pivot axis.
7. The belt buckle according to claim 6 , wherein the undercut, on a side on which the lever can be pivoted out of the undercut in the neutral position, is bounded by a retaining lug for interlocking retention in the blocking position.
8. The belt buckle according to claim 7 , wherein at least in the blocking position, the retaining lug is located closer to the pivot axis than a lowest bulge of the undercut.
9. The belt buckle according to claim 1 , wherein the male buckle part and the female buckle part each have a stop region and, in the blocking position, the stop regions bear against each other and prevent the plug-in extension of the male buckle part from penetrating deeper in the plug-in-extension receptacle of the female buckle part.
10. The belt buckle according to claim 1 , wherein the locking device is a lever that is pivotable about a pivot axis.
11. The belt buckle according to claim 1 , wherein there are a plurality of the locking devices.
12. A belt buckle for releasable connection of a belt to another belt or to another object, comprising a male buckle part with at least one plug-in extension and a female buckle part with at least one plug-in-extension receptacle, and a locking device, wherein, in order to lock the buckle parts, the plug-in extension of the male buckle part is insertable into the plug-in-extension receptacle of the female buckle part and the buckle parts are lockable to each other in a locking state by the locking device, in the locking state, the buckle parts are arrangeable relative to each other in at least one neutral position, in which the locking device can be brought into an unlocking position in order to separate the buckle parts from each other, and, in the locking state, the buckle parts are additionally arrangeable relative to each other in at least one blocking position pivoted in relation to the neutral position, and in the blocking position, the locking device is blocked in a locking position in order to prevent the buckle parts from being separated from each other; and
wherein, in the locking state, the buckle parts are pivoted exclusively in one plane between the neutral position and the blocking position.
