[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, at the open end of the waist of clothes such as pants and skirts (hereinafter referred to as "clothes, etc."),
For the convenience of attachment and detachment, a pair of male and female hooks composed of a male hook having a hook-like body and a female hook having a hooking portion to be hooked on it is used, and adapted to the fluctuation of the waist size of the wearer. In order to enable adjustment, a plurality of female hooks are provided at one end of the open end, and there are means for hooking a male hook attached to the other end of the open end to an arbitrary female hook. The detachment makes it possible to open a part of the clothes and the like at the same time, and at the same time, the size can be adjusted within a certain range.

[0003] In addition, there is also a garment or the like in which an elastic member such as a rubber belt is attached to a part of a waist of the garment or the like so that the rubber belt or the like expands and contracts so as to be easily attached and detached and to fit the wearer's waist size. Is being developed.

[0004]

However, according to the means for arranging a plurality of female hooks of the above-mentioned hooks and hooking the male hooks with one of the hooks as appropriate, the pitch at which the female hooks are arranged is set to be equal to or less than a predetermined interval. If a large number of female hooks are installed close to each other and are not hooked while checking the tip of the male hook and the female hook to be hooked, then Because of the lack of waist size, female hooks could not be lined up at a certain pitch or less, so that the waist size of clothes and the like could not be finely adjusted.

[0005] Further, when the abdominal swelling state after meals or the like, or when the abdomen is stressed, the abdominal pressure increases, and the waist size of clothes or the like may not be suitable, and the abdomen may be painful.
