Abstract
Abstract A belt strap having a first end and a second end with at least one hole extending through the first end and a plurality of holes extending through the second end. A belt buckle is provided which includes a loop and a generally S-shaped hook. The first end of the belt strap is passed through the loop and the hook is passed through one of the holes therein. The second end of the strap is passed through the loop and placed in registry with the hook. The hook is then passed through the hole in the second end to prevent the first end of the belt strap from moving relative to the second end of the belt strap.

A belt and belt buckle combination comprising: a. a belt strap, having a constant height throughout its length, said belt strap including a first and a second end, said first end having at least one hole extending therethrough, said second end having a plurality of holes extending therethrough; b. two elongated sides; c. two shorter sides, said shorter sides joining said elongated sides to form a buckle periphery; d. a decoration secured to said buckle periphery; e. a pair of legs mounted to said buckle periphery on the back thereof, extending away from one of said shorter sides, said legs being in vertical alignment and parallel to each other; f. a cross bar extending between said pair of legs in spaced relationship to said shorter side to form a loop structure defining an enclosed area adapted to receive said first and second ends; and g. at least one S-shaped hook member secured to the other of said shorter sides extending away from said buckle periphery in the same direction as said pair of legs, said hook member having a first concave portion facing away from said loop structure and a second concave portion facing towards said loop structure, said first end and said second end extending through said loop structure, said at least one hole in said first end being in registry with at least one of said plurality of holes in said second end said hook member extending through said at least one hole in said first end and said at least one hole in said second end in registry with said at least one hole in said first end, a portion of said first end of said belt strap bearing against said first concave portion of said hook member and a portion of said second end of said belt strap bearing against said second concave portion of said hook member so that said at least one hook member prevents said first and second ends from moving relative to each other, said at least one hole in said first end having a diameter smaller than said first concave portion so that when said hook member is passed through said at least one hole said buckle periphery will be secured to said first end by friction.
