Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] None FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH [0002] Not Applicable SEQUENCE LISTING OR PROGRAM [0003] Not Applicable STATEMENT REGARDING COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL [0004] Portions of the disclosure of this patent document contain material that is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever. BACKGROUND [0005] The present invention relates in general to belts used for garments, and more particularly to a belt that can not only be used for garments but can also be altered to be used as a collar for animals, a strap for carrying bags and luggage, or a construction belt used for nail bags and other accessories. [0006] Traditionally, belts have been made of leather or imitation leather, which is typically thin, flat and stiff. They come with no padding, and are hard and uncomfortable. Moreover, the color selection of leather or imitation leather belts is very limited; usually they are available only in black or brown. These belts tend to wear out relatively quickly at the point where the belt rests against the buckle or where the belt buckle tongue slides through the eyehole in the belt. Once this happens, the belt becomes useless. [0007] Although leather belts can be more expensive and of higher quality, even these belts wear at the above-mentioned points over time, rendering them useless. Finally, most belts have predetermined eyeholes that are incremented approximately 1 inch apart from each other. This limits the ability to adjust the belt to the desired tightness needed. [0008] Other types of belts have been made of flat webbing, cotton webbing, hemp, or suede. Such belts are normally very thin, with no padding, and are uncomfortable. The tighter the above-mentioned belts are made, the more uncomfortable they become. Frequently, they dig into a user's waist and leave marks on the skin or body. This effect can be very uncomfortable, especially when a person must perform tasks that require bending. [0009] Animal collars, like belts, have traditionally been made of leather, nylon webbing, or chains wherein they are flat in thickness, and stiff. They come with no padding, and are frequently uncomfortable to an animal. Such collars can put a lot of unnecessary strain on a pet's neck, especially if the collar is adjusted too tightly. In addition to this, when a leash pulls on the collar while walking an animal, it can be quite uncomfortable for the animal. [0010] Finally, straps for carrying bags, purses, luggage, suitcases, backpacks, seat belts in automobiles, golf bags, etc. are typically made of nylon webbing or leather. Frequently, they are made of webbing that is thin and flat in thickness, contain no padding, and are uncomfortably hard. When a person is carrying a heavy load for long periods of time with a strap over their shoulder or holding onto hand straps, such traditional straps can become quite uncomfortable. [0011] Numerous belts, straps or similar devices have been developed that cater to a variety of applications and needs. For example, U.S. Pub. No. 20030135913 to Yang discloses a garment belt including an extendible insert. The insert may flex or stretch while the belt is being worn so that the belt adapts to variations in a wearer's waist size and shape. However, the present invention has structural distinctions compared to the Yang device and doesn't make use of such inserts. [0012] In U.S. Pat. No. 5,718,189 to Blake, a leash for dogs, other animals, or young children is described. A belt having first and second ends is adapted to encircle the waist of a user and a leash can be secured to the belt at a location between its two ends. The belt provides normal control to a leashed animal or child, allowing the user's arms to swing freely while walking or running. Moreover, in U.S. Pub. No. 20040194733 to Bremm, a similar animal leash system is described. The animal leash system includes a leash of flexible material having near and far ends, and a belt arranged to be worn about a person's body. A connector is fastened to the belt for operation by the person while wearing the belt. [0013] U.S. Pat. No. 4,478,311 to Anderson discloses a multi-purpose harness, which can be used as a seat when attached to an overhead support, as a safety belt when standing or sitting in a precariously exposed position or as a towing device. The harness is composed of a single length of webbing, or similar narrow-band material, wrapped around the body one or more times to form one, or a multiple of loops which can be confined to respective spaced position by means of slidable spacers with the tension controlled by an attached buckle, or snubbing device using two inter-engaging ring-shaped members, so that the free end of the webbing can be attached to a support or to the object to be towed. [0014] Further in U.S. Pat. No. 5,419,475 to Naritomi, a shoulder belt for suspending a camera, a bag or the like is described. It comprises a belt body made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin material, and an accessory member, for example, a shoulder pad or a writing object, e.g., letters or pattern, made of a thermoplastic elastomer, which is rigidly secured to the belt body as an integral part thereof by fusion welding. [0015] Although the above-mentioned devices have tensile and flexibility properties, they are structurally distinct compared with the present invention. Moreover, most of the devices aren't sufficiently versatile enough to serve a variety of needs with minor alterations, as the present invention can. [0016] Therefore, there is a need for an improved, softer, easily adjustable work belt, including a softer belt, softer strap, and softer animal collar which is more comfortable, available in a variety of colors and webbing sizes, and plusher while also more durable. [0017] It is an object of the present invention to provide a softer belt, softer strap, and softer animal collar, which includes nylon tubular webbing filled with one or more materials such as beanbag material polystyrene pellets, memory foam, or similar materials. [0018] A further object is to provide an improved belt that is versatile, and can be used in a variety of settings and applications. [0019] Finally, it is an object of the present invention to provide a softer work belt which includes a cam buckle that is easily adjustable, non-slipping, and adjusts to any desired increment, and which is softer, more comfortable and more durable. These and other objects of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the appended Summary, Description, and Claims.
