Description
- This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. provisional application No. 63/172,809, U.S. provisional application number filed 9 Apr. 2021, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to cufflinks and, more particularly, a cufflink for long-sleeve casual garments to control the length of the garment's sleeve at the wrist.
- There are long-sleeve garments that are not typically tailored, such as sweaters, jerseys, hoodies, and the like, yet frequently worn, even to semi-formal events or non-formal events that people what to affect a certain style. However, these long-sleeve garments can be problematic for the wearer if they care about having a fashionably correct and/or desired length for the sleeves. This is because these non-tailored long-sleeve garments tend to hang too long at the cuff, covering the wearer's wristwear or even parts of their hand in a non-aesthetically pleasing manner. Such non-tailored long-sleeve garments typically do not have a cufflink hole for using traditional cufflinks to solve this problem.
- As can be seen, there is a need for a cufflink for garment sleeves without cufflink holes, so that wearers of non-tailored long-sleeve casual garments can selectively control the length of the garment's sleeve at or around their wrist.
- The present invention embodies a securing clip that acts as a cufflink for long-sleeve garments that do not have a cufflink hole. The present invention secures the distal end of the sleeve/cuff at or adjacent the wrist of the wearer, wherein the present invention is adapted to prevent the cuff from extending past a certain portion adjacent the wrist of the wearer, thereby allowing the wearer's wristwear and/or hand to remain visible when desired. As a result, the present invention obviates the need of a user to either modify a favorite long-sleeve garment (e.g., by cutting a hole through the cuff area) in a makeshift manner or pay a tailor to control (and permanently alter) the cuff length of their favorite long-sleeve garment.
- In one aspect of the present invention, a device controlling a position of a sleeve relative to a wrist of a wearer, the device includes the following: a base plate having a curvature dimensioned and adapted to conform with a wrist of a wearer; the base plate defined by a first end, a second end, a leading edge and a trailing edge a first top plate connected to the base plate at a first intersection of the leading edge and the first end; a second top plate connected to the base plate at a second intersection of the leading edge and the second end; and a closure flap pivotably connected to a proximal edge of the first top plate in such a way that the closure flap is movable between an open position and a closed position urging the first and second top plates toward the base plate.
- In another aspect of the present invention, the above-mentioned device includes, in the closed position, the closure flap extending past a distal edge of the second top plate; and further including the following: a gripper button forming each of the first and second intersections; a plurality of grippers along an inner surface of the base plate and an inner surface of each of the first and second top plates so that at least a plurality of occluding pairs of grippers are provided, wherein each gripper button is operatively associated with at least one of the pluralities of occluding pairs of grippers in such a way that each occluding pair is moveable between an engaged position and a disengaged position; a plurality of protruding pads disposed along an outer surface of the curvature; and a sensor operatively associated with each protruding pads and a control circuitry, wherein the control circuitry is configured to export data sensed by each sensor.

elastic object 30 that stores mechanical energy, such as a spring, a torsion spring, or the like, with aspring pin 32 may be disposed along or integrated in thepivot point 22, as illustrated inFIG. 4 . Thespring pin 32 enables the elastic object to be locked in the opened and the closed positions (e.g., through one or more grooves provided by thebase plate 10, though theelastic object 30 biases the closure flap 18 in the closed position. A user would manually move theclosure flap 18 to the open position, wherein thespring pin 32 engages in a groove (not shown) to stay in the open position. The spring-loadedclosure flap 18 may be freed from the groove to be released, snapping back to secure thegarment 42 in the closed position. - A
data sensor 36 may be operatively associated with eachprotruding pad 28 so that thedata sensor 36 can sense properties from the skin of the wearer. In certain embodiments, may read the heartrate of the wearer as well as other vitals. This collected data can be exported and managed by theprogrammable control circuitry 40. In certain embodiments, the collected data of thedata sensors 36 may be exportable to a software application for tracking a wearer. Thecontrol circuitry 40 may be coupled to an internal power source 38 (such as a battery) also housed in thebase plate 10. Thecontrol circuitry 40 may be configured for collecting programable data. An electrical connector (“circuit strip”) 37 electrically couples theprogrammable control circuitry 40 with thesensors 36. - A method of using the present invention may include the following. An edge of a cuff or
garment 42 may be slide between thebase plate 10 and the first and secondtop plates edge 58, when thegrippers 34 are in the disengaged position. The trailingedge 58 may have noside plate 24 and so resembles a maw between the base and top plates for receiving said portion of thegarment 42. Excess fabric or material of thegarment 42 may be gathered so that the cuff snugly engages the wrist of the wearer, thereby fixing the cuff at that location, thereby selectively controlling the length or distal end of the sleeve at or adjacent to the wrist or wherever desired. The excess material may protrude between the first and secondtop plates grippers 24 are moved to the engaged position (via the leading-edge spring-loadedbuttons 26—e.g., by pressing thebuttons 26 between their index finger and thumb) and/or when theclosure flap 18 is moved to the closed position, the excess material of the cuff/garment 42 is cinched. - A method of making the present invention may include the following.
