Tiny and slender as it is, a metal bar hidden by the frame and tongue of the buckle works as the core of it all. It not only connects the buckle with the belt but also supports the tongue as it moves in and out of the holes, fixing the belt around our waists and releasing it day after day. From the outside, it looks like the tongue and frame do all the work, but it is actually the bar that lets them do their job. They can’t work without it. That’s why it is the unsung hero of the belt.
