Abstract
A belt clasp has a supporting body with a top portion, back side, and an inner perimeter defining a slot. A clasping arm is flexibly attached to the top portion of the supporting body and extends into the slot area. Two extensions extend from the back supporting side, each defining an engaging groove. A locking unit is provided with a locking portion and an engaging rod, which pivotally engages the grooves. The locking portion is shaped to prevent the clasping arm from opening in the locked position, and in the unlocked position, the clasping arm may be opened and the belt removed from the belt clasp.
