Patent Application
20130340145
The present invention relates to devices that assist the closure of waist holding devices such as a belt or sash.
a and 1b represent prior art problems with regards to belts. An individual such as a woman 100 as shown in
Additionally, a ring of material 130 is partially formed with one end of a strip of material sewn generally to the top of the belt and the other end of the strip of material sewn to the bottom of the belt; either ends may be sewn to the back of the belt as well. Thus, a cavity has been formed whereby the front of the belt may slide therethrough and proceed outwards. However, a problem arises when the belt is so large that there is an excess of material 120 that simply hangs from the woman
Accordingly, there remains a need in the art for a way to stop the appearance of unattractive excess belt curvature protruding away from the body.
The present invention overcomes the deficiencies of the known art and the problems that remain unsolved in the art as follows:
In a first embodiment, an excess belt control device comprising:
In another aspect, wherein the second strip of material is from the group consisting of: a leather, vinyl, heavy cloth, rubber strips, man made material, and natural material.
In another aspect, wherein the belt is inserted in the second strip of material.
In another aspect, wherein there are a plurality of second strips of material.
In another aspect, wherein the second strip of material further comprises:
In a second embodiment, a belt closing device comprising:
In another aspect, wherein the second strip of material is from the group consisting of: a leather, vinyl, heavy cloth, rubber strips, man made material, and natural material.
In another aspect, wherein the third strip of material is from the group consisting of: elastic materials and rubber materials.
These and other aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the attached drawings and the detailed description of the preferred embodiments, which follow.
The preferred embodiments of the invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings provided to illustrate and not to limit the invention, in which:
a and 1b represent prior art problems with regards to belts. An individual such as a woman as shown in
a represents a solution to the excessive portion of belt material that hangs from the individual's waist. A belt loop is added to restrain the excess hanging curvature of the belt.
Like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the described embodiments or the application and uses of the described embodiments. As used herein, the word “exemplary” or “illustrative” means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration.” All of the implementations described below are exemplary implementations provided to enable persons skilled in the art to make or use the embodiments of the disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure, which is defined by the claims. For purposes of description herein, the terms “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “rear”, “right”, “front”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, and derivatives thereof shall relate to the invention as oriented in the individual figure. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, background, brief summary or the following detailed description. It is also to be understood that the specific devices and processes illustrated in the attached drawings, and described in the following specification, are simply exemplary embodiments of the inventive concepts defined in the appended claims. Hence, specific dimensions and other physical characteristics relating to the embodiments disclosed herein are not to be considered as limiting, unless the claims expressly state otherwise.
The most important part of the instant embodiment is, however, that the loops 230 are threaded onto the excess 220 of belt 200 as shown in 250 of
1—cutting a piece of material into an oblong strip of appropriate size for a particular size and type of belt such that the strip of material has two small ends;
2—connecting the two small ends end to end to form a loop of material by sewing the ends or melting them depending on the type of material;
3—threading the front of a belt (non-buckle side) into loop(s);
4—move the loop(s) through the belt until it arrives near the buckle as near to the buckle as will be necessary to engage the excess holding action of the loop;
5—placing the belt into any pants or skirt loops built into the pants or skirt and tying the belt about the pants or skirt as normally;
6—engaging the excess loop action by threading the excess portion of the belt into the loop(s). Optionally step ‘5’ is replaced with:
OPTIONAL step ‘5’: placing the belt on top of a blouse or into any pants or skirt loops built into the pants or skirt and tying the belt about the pants or skirt as normally;
FINAL CONSIDERATION: An elastic rubber band is optionally inserted between the two ends of material intended to be formed into a loop; the band is sewn (melted) at either end into the respective ends of the two ends of material intended to be formed into a loop. The elastic band is made from a typical rubber material used in elastic clothing such as waist bands or underwear.
Thus, novel mechanisms have been described that overcome the deficiencies found in the prior art.
