The disclosure relates to ornament devices and more particularly pertains to a new ornament device for concealing the torso strap of a strapless brasserie.
The prior art relates to ornament devices. The prior art discloses a modular brasserie that can be assembled or disabled in a variety of configurations.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a panel that has a concealed side and an exposed side. The panel is positionable to extend across a torso strap of a strapless brassiere having the exposed side being exposed to conceal the torso strap. A pair of belts is each coupled to the panel. Each of the belts is matable to themselves to form a closed loop thereby facilitating each of the belts to be secured around the torso strap of the strapless brassiere. A pair of hooks is each coupled to a respective one of the belts. Each of the hooks releasably engages the respective belt when the respective belt is wrapped around the strap of the brassiere for tightening the belt around the strap.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A pair of belts 32 is each coupled to the panel 12. Each of the belts 32 is matable to themselves to form a closed loop thereby facilitating each of the belts 32 to be secured around the torso strap 18 of the strapless brassiere 20. Each of the belts 32 has a top surface 34, a primary end 36 and a secondary end 38, and each of the belts 32 is positioned on the concealed side 14 of the panel 12. Each of the belts 32 extends from the front edge 28 of the panel 12 beyond the back edge 30 of the panel 12 such that the secondary end 38 of each of the belts 32 is free.
A pair of first mating members 40 is each coupled to the top surface 34 of a respective one of the belts 32. Each of the first mating members 40 is positioned adjacent to the primary end 36 of the respective belt 32. A pair of second mating members 42 is each coupled to the top surface 34 of a respective one of the belts 32. Each of the second mating members 42 is positioned adjacent to the secondary end 38 of the respective belt 32. Each of the second mating members 42 releasably engages the first mating members 40 for mating the belts 32 to themselves. Additionally, each of the first mating members 40 and the second mating members 42 may comprise snaps or other type of releasable fastener.
A pair of hooks 44 is provided and each of the hooks 44 is coupled to a respective one of the belts 32. Each of the hooks 44 releasably engages the respective belt 32 when the respective belt 32 is wrapped around the torso strap 18 of the brassiere 20 for tightening the belt 32 around the torso strap 18. Each of the hooks 44 is positioned at a point located adjacent to the back edge 30 of the panel 12 and each of the hooks 44 is positioned on the top surface 34 of the respective belt 32.
Each of the hooks 44 includes a finger 45 that is spaced from a coupling 46. The coupling 46 of each of the hooks 44 movably engages the respective belt 32. The respective belt 32 is slid between the finger 45 and the coupling 46 when the respective belt 32 is mated to itself. In this way each of the belts 32 is tightened around the torso strap 18 of the strapless brassiere 20. The hooks 44 are oriented having the finger 45 on each of the hooks 44 being directed toward each other.
In use, the panel 12 is positioned on the torso strap 18 when the brassiere 20 is being worn and each of the belts 32 is laid across the torso strap 18. The first mating member 40 on each belt 32 is mated to the second mating member 42 on the belt 32 to attach the panel 12 to the torso strap 18. Additionally, each belt 32 is extended through the respective hook 44 for tightening the belt 32 on the torso strap 18. In this way the ornamental features 22 on the panel 12 are visible when the dress is worn, rather than having the torso strap 18 being visible.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
