ABSTRACT:
An alignment device for centering both ends of a belt relative to a U-shaped mount of a belt buckle. The inventive device includes a foldable web positionable about the U-shaped mount and including upper and lower spacing webs extending between the belt and respectively opposed upper and lower portions of the U-shaped mount to center the belt relative thereto so as to preclude tilting of the belt buckle relative to the belt. The novelty of the present invention also includes a stabilizing web disposed between the upper and lower spacing webs to prevent any movement of the spacing webs relative to each other and further includes a loop web attached at a point on the device between the opposed upper and lower portions of the U-shaped mount, the loop web shaped to receive a second end of a belt to prevent such belt end from drooping or hanging outside of the belt buckle which otherwise results in a messy or unkept appearance, yet allows such belt end to be in substantial parallel alignment with the belt's first end.
