Abstract

A buckle is shown having two side members that define an upper face and a lower face, with at least three stationary transverse members disposed between and connecting facing inner surfaces of the side members. The three transverse members are substantially parallel to each other and define therebetween belt passageways through which a belt can be threaded and looped around a center one of the transverse members to adjustably secure the belt relative to the buckle. A flange protrudes into one of the belt passageways from substantially the entire length of the center transverse member. The flange is angled toward a first end of the belt passageway, and the distal end of the flange is spaced from the adjacent transverse member by an amount that is slightly larger than the thickness of the belt to be threaded through the belt passageway. The flange prevents threading of a belt through the belt passageway from the first end of the passageway.
