Abstract

An easily released belt fastener can be constructed utilizing an elongated body having an opening extending through the body intermediate the ends of the body. A clamping bar is movably mounted on the body so as to extend across the opening adjacent to and parallel to a clamping surface. This clamping bar is mounted in such a manner that it is capable of being moved between a clamping position in which it is spaced from the clamping surface and a non-clamping position in which it is also parallel to the clamping surface but is located further from the clamping surface than in the clamping position. The body is formed so that an end of it may be secured in an operative position in which it can be rotated about an axis which is substantially parallel with the clamping surface. A belt may be inserted through the opening around the clamping bar and between this bar and the clamping surface then back underneath the body along itself. When tension is applied to this belt the clamping bar will be moved to the clamping position. When the body is rotated so as to space the belt from the bottom of the body the belt will be located at an angle such that the tension on the belt will move the c…
