Tollyboy odd jobs
Only one post so far and already I'm finding this thread rivetting. Thanks Taz.
Tonyand03 according to that would-be customer, that is better than if you found the post welding.
The smallest belt we ever made was a variation on the standard FGA/200 female belt. It had a solid metal bar at the back instead of the usual cable a hinged waistband one of only two hinged belts I can remember and no secondary shield. There was a lot of fine, fancy detail that I actually subcontracted to a friend in the jewellery trade. It was supplied with one key. When finished and fitted it was obviously tiny, fitted like a glove, made of solid 9 carat gold it keeps a Barbie Doll chaste.
Taz Love the twist at the end. I assume the "lock" is more of a closure with removable, key-shaped actuator? I doubt you can scale a secure lock down to Barbie size.
Also, how would Barbie dolls be "kept chaste"? Without genitalia, it is not like there is any unchaste behavior that could be prevented?

I believe this is called "defense in depth" 
The whole idea to design a belt without hinges sounds nearly impossible, unless you make it where it snaps together, making it impossible to remove afterwards. Plus, you'd have to consider that adjustments would need to be made in the future between shaping and wearing in various positions. The long-term concern is the weight management of the person, where if they expect to keep this idea plausible, they'd have to live on a strict lifestyle.

Yes it was but now you have me thinking, I get into more trouble that way. The pins in a standard lock are 0.080 inches diameter (American locks) and the longest of them is 0.195 inches long. The waist of a Mattel Barbie is 3.75 inches so about 1/10 of the average adult female. Therefore lock pins would be 0.008" and max 0.020" long, the springs would be about the same. The body of the lock (not the lock block) would be 0.075". So in European measurements, it would depend on my ability to make pins 0.2mm in diameter and less than 0.5mm in length. Too small for my current machinery but reasonably large by the standards of Swiss watchmaking. Maybe I can find a kinky watchmaker to help me one day.

I noticed she appeared to be tightly infibulated when I was measuring her.

Steel is bendy, especially in reasonably thin bands. Making such bands in the size of the wearer in question is a different challenge.

Was surprised about that, especially considering Barbie's figure, but it works out realatively well. Volume does scale with the cube of linear dimensions after all.

I am not sure proportional scaling addresses all structural concerns, like rigidity, tolerances and lubrication. However, the square-cube law might be in your favor in some of those regards.
Angelina this idea alone seems very utopian to me, the belt would weigh more than i would myself
Yes, the customer may be perfectly sane in the rest of life but when it comes to chastity any sense of reality is just gone. Even back then there were enough online calculators that they could have checked metal density and calculated an approximate mass for the belt. They could just have looked at the padlock they bought and thought this weighs 5kg and the belt will be several times heavier than that. They could even have just put on 6 or 8 adult nappies to simulate the bulk of it to see if they could hide it under clothes. But did they, no.

I have read about metal with memory effect. After it is bent and retains its shape, you heat it and it goes back to its old shape. It is apparently used as a replacement for discs. So the temperature can't be that high.
The hip band would be shaped to fit the hip, bent open, put on, heated and it would bend back.
Vanessa I wonder how he knew about chastity belts without knowing what he wanted was impossible...
this is not surprising, my father would prefer my belt to be closed at the back (even though i am not interested in anal sex), but he also wants me to be able to go to the toilet without problems.... sometimes it is difficult to combine different interests
Taz it was to be locked with some some huge industrial padlock that they brought with them probably weighing about 5kg
Going back to the first story, I imagine this sort of like a cartoon chastity belt with the oversized padlock loosely dangling from the front. Thigh bands would be a mandatory accessory for that; if the wearer started running, the knocking might injure her otherwise.
Angelina Latowski offers an anal cover plate that can be locked onto the belt without removing it using a little cam lock. Which would allow it to be used for short periods where there is an elevated danger of the rear opening being abused, or for making the belt a street-legal, if extravagant piece of clothing.
There is also a version of that cover that includes a little rod you can attach various items to, but those items generally do not promote being chaste.
