Device for changing the angle of a belt buckle

Abstract

The disclosed device enhances the aesthetic appearance of a belt when worn by a person with a pelvic tilt. The device works by changing the angle of the belt buckle to ensure proper orientation of the belt buckle. The device ensures proper orientation by securing a wedge to a belt in a position behind the buckle. The wedge pushes the bottom of the belt buckle out, counteracting downturn of the buckle caused by pelvic tilt.

 i. having a first end, a second end, and a plurality of notches;
 1. the first end of the notched post affixed to the back of the stud; and 
 2. the plurality of notches located along the notched post between the first end and the second end; and 
 
 ii. the notched post puncturing the belt and passing through the penetration in the wedge; and 
   c. a clasp, the clasp having:
 i. an opening, a first clip, and a second clip; 
 ii. whereby the notched post is inserted into the opening and the first clip and the second clip interface with one of the plurality of notches to secure the butterfly clutch. 
   
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the belt further comprises a stud hole, and whereby the notched post passes through the stud hole and the penetration to secure the wedge to the belt. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 8 , further comprising the face having a piece of jewelry. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein:
