Strapless belt suspenders - and a method of supporting the belt to support the lower garment and improve the appearance of the upper garment

USPTO Application #: 20070033708
Title: Strapless belt suspenders - and a method of supporting the belt to support the lower garment and improve the appearance of the upper garment
Abstract: The method and apparatus pertains to conjoining the upper and lower garment to achieve additional support for the lower garment with out the need for suspender straps. At the same time the apparatus remove wrinkles and bulging material in the upper garment that is tucked in. A high adhesive rubber pad is attached to a durable waistband bracket that supports the belt which directly supports the belt loops which are attached to the waistband which supports the weight of the lower garment. Multiple strapless belt suspenders contribute to the support of the weight of the lower garment The additional holding power of the strapless belt suspenders will allow the user the freedom of wearing the lower garment at the height wanted without the use of straps. This extra support will allow the user to show better physical posture by allowing the stomach to be pulled in without their lower garment dropping. The apparatus is comfortable to wear, easy to install or remove and allows the user to leave them in place on the waistband when lowering or removing the lower or upper garment. (end of abstract)

RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This utility application is related to the non-provisional utility patent application 60599940 filed Aug. 10, 2004.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention has to do with the field of clothing and more particularly the way that the lower garment can be supported at the height that is desired without the use of suspender shoulder straps, to keep the upper garment tucked in and neat looking, and an invention that is easy to put on or take off. The field also includes personal fitness of the stomach muscles by holding the stomach as an exercise or just a short period of better appearance.

[0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0005] The prior art for lower garment supports are belts and suspenders. The belt when properly tightened, works good for many body shapes but in the case of many other people the lower garment slips down while going through the normal day's activities. Belts are normally worn to hold up the lower garment such as for example jeans, shorts, skirts and pants. The belt is inserted through a plurality of belt loops and works by exerting pressure on the waistband of the clothing as it presses against the body to achieve its ability to support the lower garment The garment that is tucked in such as for example: a shirt, blouse, tee shirt, during normal daily activities pulls out of the lower garment This is due to gravity causing the lower garment to slip down from the original position at the waist The person has to pull the clothing back up and re-tuck the upper garment back into the lower garment that had slipped down. During physical activities the re-occurrence of the pull up of the lower garment and the tucking in of the upper garment happens more often. Suspenders are worn by some people to take care of this dropping of the lower garment but the suspender straps are embarrassing to most people. Instead of wearing suspenders they go through the day repeatedly pulling their lower garment up and re-tucking the upper garment An apparatus was needed to support the lower garment without the need for shoulder straps. There are suspenders that support unseen but they are much more difficult to use than this simple apparatus. The many types of suspenders almost all have straps that are for most people embarrassing, whether seen over or under the shirt There is also the constricted feeling a person has when wearing suspenders with straps and the other types of under the clothes supports. The suspenders and methods do not improve the appearance of the top garment by pulling down on them to remove wrinkles and keep the shirt tucked in, as this invention does. The shoulder straps over time can become an annoyance because the support of the weight of the lower garment is being transferred to a small area of the shoulder. Since the strapless belt suspender pads are gripping the upper garment the full shoulder width of the upper garment material is being supported by the shoulders for maximum comfort

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] The apparatus supports the belt to hold the lower garment up and keeps the shirt tucked in by adhesion of an oval rubber pad to the top layer of tucked in upper garment The support from the holding power between the soft rubber pads and the outer garment which extends over the shoulders makes suspender straps unneeded. The oval rubber pads are molded to durable plastic or metal brackets that support the lower garment This is done by supporting the belt directly by the belt suspenders. When the apparatus Is behind the waistband and a belt is worn only a small amount of bracket can be seen and what is seen is a dear material that allows the color of the lower garment to be seen. The user can decide how many bracket supports are needed and where they feel they need support The strapless belt supports can be placed anywhere on the belt even if a belt loop is not there to hide the belt hook. The belt hook wraps the bottom of the belt and an only small amount of dear plastic or metal material shows under the belt If a shirt is tucked in, it will be pulled in a downward direction which will remove any wrinkles and takes away any unsightly baggy shirt bulge around the front and side of the stomach. Beyond the above mentioned advantages when wearing the supports this apparatus will allow a user to pull their stomach in for better appearance or as an exercise to strengthen their stomach muscles by allowing the user to pull their stomach in and hold it in without the lower garment falling down. When the user's muscles get tired and lets his stomach back out there are no adjustments that have to be made. When he wants to look better or to do the exercise again, he does not have to adjust anything; just pull in the stomach until he wants to let it out again.
