Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a garment tightening device used to secure a garment, such as trousers, skirt, trouser-skirt, jacket, etc., to the waist of a user in order to suitably stabilize the garment to the body of the user.
  • a garment tightening device used to secure a garment, such as trousers, skirt, trouser-skirt, jacket, etc., to the waist of a user in order to suitably stabilize the garment to the body of the user.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to make the garment itself participate in its own tightening around the body, which confers the tightening device a very broad range of design possibilities and practical uses, fulfilling a double function; on one hand as a fastening element for the garment and on the other as an aesthetic complement to the clothes of a person.
  • the invention is therefore within the field of the accessories for garments.
  • braces constitute a securing means by suspension that is completely different from the invention, while the belt acts as a tightening device that completely surrounds the waist of the user and locks over itself with a broad range of hooking systems.
  • the belt invariably uses the classic belt loops to secure it to the garment, which considerably conditions its configuration, practically not allowing the designers to extend their imagination beyond the configuration of the buckle or locking element, since the body of the belt must embody a strip of suitable width to pass through said belt loops.
  • the belt In the case of a garment design without belt loops, the belt cannot be used, or at least cannot be used as an element to hold the garment.
  • the tightening device proposed by the invention solves the aforementioned problem in a fully satisfactory way by eliminating all limitations of a conventional belt and based on a different functional philosophy, so that the tightening device does not entirely surround the waist of the user, as in the case of classical belts, but it affects the garment only in a partial form, which may be minimal, with the garment cooperating in its own tightening, as stated above.
  • the tightening device consists of a central body, which constitutes a support for a decorative development of the device and may be one or more parts obtained in any material considered suitable.
  • Said central body may be of any appropriate length, always less than the perimeter of the user's waist, and at the ends extend in respective tying or hooking elements, such as strips, strings, etc., preferably elastic and in any case flexible, capable of easily passing through respective belt loops, said tying or hooking elements being able to be simply hooked to said pair of belt loops ,or to be folded over themselves passing under the central body in order to be tied together behind the latter with the necessary tension to achieve the tightening effect, or to be locked one over the other by any other means.
  • the effect achieved instead of the classic perimeter strangulation of the belt over the waist of the user, consists in approximating two more or less distanced belt loops from two points of the garment, in order to reduce the effective perimeter of the garment and achieve its due conformation to the body.
  • said tying or hooking elements i.e.: ribbons, strings, strips, etc
  • ribbons, strings, strips, etc can be secured by their ends by tying, but can also be equipped at said ends by any conventional and suitable locking system, such as magnets, Velcro®, slide fastener, elastic, buckle, etc.
  • central body may practicable, i.e., divided into two halves linked together through any locking system, so that the tightening and locking of the device is performed through the central body.
  • the advocated garment tightening device consists of a central body (1), which in this case has a length of about one half of the user's waist, and which shall conform to the front part thereof, as shown in figure 2 .
  • the central body (1) is terminated in end hooks (2) for respective laces (3) destined to pass through suitable belt loops (4) of the trousers (5) and to bend back behind a back side of the central body (1), the laces (3) being secured to one another through a knot (6) that can be hidden or made visible such as the case of figure 2 .
  • the belt loops (4) of the trousers nearest to the frontal opening are inoperative, and the central body (1) can be passed or not therethrough, the securing being performed on the lateral belt loops (4').
  • the front belt loops (4) will be obviously used when said central body is considerably shorter, such as in the example of figure 3 , where the size and configuration of the central body (1) are completely different.
  • the central body is divided into two parts (1-1') attachable to one another through any coupling system (7) and that said central body (1-1') lacks laces (3) or any other tying element; the central body (1-1') itself including lateral folded back extensions (8) determining facing grooves (9) capable of coupling to belt loops (4) of the trouser, as shown in figure (5 ).
  • the belt loops (4) are not determining, i.e. that the trouser or garment in question may not have them, without this being an obstacle for the use of the inventive tightening device, since as shown in figures 6 and 7 , the trouser or garment (5) may include orifices (10) for passing laces (3) or for passing the tying or hooking element chosen in every case in substitution of belt loops (4).
