    unknown Buckle from Rusco
    Hi friends,

    I found about 6 buckles at a burnt place in a forrest. The belts are gone.
    Who knows where this kind of buckle was used. WW2 or post war?
    I found nothing from a crashed plane.

    Thanks for helping.

    Regards Fozzy

    Hi Fozzy,

    this should be a diving weight.

    Hi Nils,

    thanks for helping!
    BUT Diving in a forrest???? :n66:
    There is no water around and burnt belts?

    Could be not from aviation? Only for sports?
    Really strange thing

    regards Fozzy

    rusco did make buckles for aircraft seats as well.

    its strange that your belt has the words, "for 1 or 2 persons" on it.
    the diving buckle does not say that

    i have found a couple of references to rusco. one on the FAA website regarding safety issues with rusco buckles made between 1954 and 1956.
    http://www8.landings.com/cgi-bin/get_file?pass=12345&ADS/1956/56-21-04.html.
    another was on a Canadian site with similar safety problems in 1959/60.
    its possible these buckles were also used on other non aviation equipment when they failed aircraft safety tests. that could be how the buckle got on the diving belts?
    i cannot comment on parachutes but your buckle doesnt look like it has a locking mechanism that would be safe on one

    the link in my last post doesnt seem to work, so here is the text from the FAA website.....


    DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
    Federal Aviation Administration
    14 CFR Part 39
    AD 56-21-04

    Airworthiness Directives; RUSSELL: Applies to Safety Belts Equipped With Russell Manufacturing Co.'s 2 Inch Rusco Tog-L-Lok Safety Belt Buckle




    Regulatory Information

    56-21-04 RUSSELL: Applies to Safety Belts Equipped With Russell Manufacturing Co.'s 2 Inch Rusco Tog-L-Lok Safety Belt Buckle.

    Compliance required as soon as possible but not later than December 30, 1956.

    Recurring instances have been reported wherein Russell Model RM-3 and RM-4 belt assemblies have slipped and unlocked under relatively low tension loads. Accordingly, it has been determined that safety belt assemblies RM-3 and RM-4 manufactured between July 1, 1954, and August 1, 1956, as meeting Technical Standard Order C22b standards and equipped with Rusco Tog-L-Lok buckles, are unairworthy and must be reworked or replaced with belt assemblies that conform to TSO-C22b standards. Due to the need for precise jigs to accomplish the rework of these assemblies, reworking in the field is not feasible. However, the Russell Manufacturing Co. has submitted satisfactory substantiating data for reworking the unsatisfactory safety belt assemblies at the factory.

    In addition to the above difficulty, some of the faulty Tog-L-Lok buckles may have been sold as, or on, military surplus equipment and, therefore, there is some likelihood that other companies or individuals may have renovated or manufactured and sold safety belt assemblies which incorporate these faulty buckles. The characteristics of these buckles are such that if the assembly does not slip or unlock under a maximum tensile load of 100 pounds, the belt assembly is satisfactory. Accordingly, a maximum tensile load of 100 pounds need be applied to these belt assemblies to check their airworthiness. If the assembly does not slip or unlock under this load, the assembly may be considered satisfactory and rework or replacement is not necessary.
