Definitions

  • the embodiments herein relate generally to clothing, and more particularly, to a button slidably engaged with a track for adjusting the size of a garment.
  • buttons are designed to engage with a buttonhole.
  • a conventional button only provides the ability to have clothing fit at one sizing.
  • many individuals do not perfectly fit a predefined size. For example, if a male is buying pants and has a size 35 waist, a 34 may be too tight and a 36 may be too big. As a result, he is required to choose a pair of pants that does not fit him quite correctly.
  • a user’s waist size may vary over the course of a day, week, month, or year.
  • production runs can be inconsistent when producing a particular size and can vary up to 1/2'”, meaning that a first pair of pants from a particular production run may fit slightly different than a second pair of pants from a particular production run. This can be even more problematic when comparing one brand’s size to the same size in a different brand, making purchasing different brands of a similar item of clothing frustrating.
  • conventional clothing does not include adjustable fasteners to provide for adjustments, such as fine tune adjustments, to the clothing
  • fastener that allows for customization or adjustment of sizes, wherein the fastener comprises a button designed to slide along a monorail track and removably lock into a desired location on the track to create adjustable sizing of the garment.
  • Some embodiments of the present disclosure include a device for adjusting the fit of a garment.
  • the device may include a monorail track with a plurality of rail teeth spaced along a length thereof; a rail carriage slidably engaged with the monorail track; and a button operatively attached to the rail carriage, wherein at least one of the rail carriage and the button includes a locking device to removably engage with the plurality of track teeth.
  • the locking device may be a trigger post with a button tooth, an engagement pin, a pinch clamp, a leaf spring, magnets, or the like. Size adjustment of a garment may be accomplished by sliding the button to a desired position of the monorail track and locking the button into place with the locking device.

  • the device may be nestled or sandwiched between two layers of fabric, wherein the top layer has a slit with a length similar to that of the monorail track 26 through which the button 24 extends.
  • the garment such as pants
  • the garment may include a rear fly with a zipper.
  • the zipper may be spaced from the waistband to allow for the monorail track 26 and button 24.

  • the rail carriage 28 may encircle the monorail track 26 and extend upwards toward the top surface of the button 24.
  • the rail carriage 28 may be a substantially cylindrical hollow piece with a flared out bottom proximate to the monorail track 26.
  • the rail carriage 26 may have a lip that extends inwards toward a center of the rail carriage 26, wherein the inner diameter of the lipped edge is sized to accommodate the button extension therein.
  • the trigger post 38 may comprise a sleeve designed to surround the button extension, wherein the button tooth may extend from the distal end of the sleeve.
  • An outer diameter of the trigger post 38 may decrease moving away from the monorail track 26, such that there is a cavity present between the inner diameter of the rail carriage 28 and the outer diameter of the trigger post 38.
  • a spring 32 such as a compression spring, may be positioned within this cavity, wherein the compression spring 32, when in a relaxed state, causes the trigger post 38 to press downward toward the monorail track 26, thus causing the button tooth to press down onto and engage with a rail tooth 30 on the monorail track 26.
  • the button top 24 is pulled away from the monorail track 26, a lip on a lower part of the trigger post 38 proximate to the monorail track 26 pushes up on and compresses the spring 32, allowing the button tooth to disengage with the rail tooth 30 and, ultimately, allowing the button 24 to slide along a length of the monorail track 26 to the desired location.
  • a second embodiment 12 of the device may again include a button 24 operatively attached to a rail carriage 28 designed to slide along a monorail track 26 and lock into place; however the button 24 may lock into place by removably engaging with teeth 30 spaced from the monorail track 26.

  • the button 24 may be operatively attached to a trigger post 38 with a button tooth 38 extending from a distal end thereof in such a manner that, when the button head is pulled away from the monorail track 26, the trigger post 38 may also move away from the row of teeth 30, causing the button tooth to disengage from the row of teeth 30, and thus allowing the button 24 and rail carriage 28 to slide along the length of the monorail track 26.
  • pulling the button head away from the monorail track 26 may cause the trigger 38 to compress a spring 32.
  • the spring 32 may relax and press the button tooth 38 into the row of teeth 30, ultimately locking the button 24 in the desired location.
  • a third embodiment 14 of the device may include a button 24 operatively attached to a rail carriage 28 designed to slidably engage with a split- rail monorail track 26.
  • the split-rail monorail track 26 may comprise an elongate track with an orifice extending through a central portion of the elongate track and substantially the entire length of the track. Similar to the second embodiment, the monorail track 26 may be spaced from and substantially parallel to a row of teeth 30.

  • the trigger post 38 may include a lipped edge extending outward from the center of the trigger post 38, wherein the lipped edge is positioned proximate to the button tooth.
  • the rail carriage 28 may encircle the split monorail track 26 and the trigger post 38, wherein the rail carriage 28 has an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the trigger post 38, creating a cavity between the rail carriage 28 and the trigger post 38 between the split monorail track 26 and the row of teeth 30, such that a spring 32 may be positioned within the cavity.
  • the spring 32 may compress, allowing the tooth on the trigger post 38 to disengage with the row of teeth 30 and allowing the rail carriage 28 to slide along a length of the monorail track 26.
  • the spring 32 presses the lipped edge on the trigger post toward the row of teeth, causing the trigger post tooth to engage with a tooth on the row of teeth 30.
  • a fourth embodiment 16 of the device may comprise an elongate monorail 26 and button 24 operatively attached to a button rail carriage 28, the button comprising a pinch clamp 36 housed within and extending from the button 24, wherein the button rail carriage 28 is designed to slide along the elongate monorail, and the pinch clamp 36 is designed to removably engage with a plurality of rail teeth 30 on the monorail 26.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne des dispositifs qui règlent l'ajustement d'un vêtement. Auparavant, les vêtements classiques ne comprenaient pas d'éléments de fixation réglables pour permettre des ajustements, tels que des ajustements de réglage fin, sur le vêtement. Des modes de réalisation de la présente invention utilisent un rail de monorail avec une pluralité de dents de rail espacées le long d'une longueur de celui-ci. Un chariot de rail est en prise coulissante avec le rail de monorail. Un bouton est fixé de manière fonctionnelle au chariot de rail. Au moins l'un du chariot de rail et du bouton comprend un dispositif de verrouillage pour venir en prise de manière amovible avec la pluralité de dents de rail.
