Description
- The present non-provisional application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/816,520, entitled “WAIST CUFF,” filed Jun. 26, 2006, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field
- Embodiments of the present invention relate to devices for positioning clothing on a wearer's body. More particularly, various embodiments of the invention provide a resistive waist cuff operable to be at least partially positioned around a wearer's waist to position clothing thereon.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Belts have long been used to suspend or position clothing on wearers' bodies. Typically, belts entirely surround and envelop wearers' waists through the use of buckles or other latching elements. Although belts may adequately support wearers' clothing, they often are time consuming to configure, require manual dexterity to use, interfere with wearer movement, fail to properly fit garments to wearers, and obstruct or damage supported clothing. Consequently, conventional belts suffer from a number of disadvantages.
- Embodiments of the present invention provide a distinct advance in the art of clothing positioning devices. More particularly, various embodiments of the invention provide a resistive waist cuff operable to be at least partially positioned around a wearer's waist to position clothing thereon.
- For example, in some embodiments, the present invention provides a waist cuff comprising a main body including first and second terminal ends. The main body may be at least partially comprised of a resistive material and present a semi-circular orientation such that a gap is formed between the terminal ends.

The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense. The scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
- Various embodiments of the present invention provide a
waist cuff 10 operable to position clothing on a wearer's body. Thewaist cuff 10 is preferably comprised of an integratedmain body 12 that presents a semi-circular configuration to partially surround a wearer's waist. Themain body 12 has afirst terminal end 14 and asecond terminal end 16. Due to the semi-circular orientation of themain body 12, theends gap 18 is formed therebetween. As is discussed in more detail below, themain body 12 does not necessarily present a perfect semi-circular orientation as in some embodiments the semi-circular orientation of themain body 12 may include elliptical and non-elliptical configurations that do not conform to standard geometrical shapes. Thus, “semi-circular,” as utilized herein, refers to any orientation of themain body 12 that partially encloses an area and which provides thegap 18 between theterminal ends - The
main body 12 is formed of a resistive material. “Resistive material,” as utilized herein, refers to any material that resists deformation and generally returns to its formed shape after application of a deforming force. In some embodiments, the resistive material may comprise thermoplastic polymers such as one or more polycarbonates. Polycarbonates may be easily molded and/or thermoformed and resist deformation as discussed above. Polycarbonates are also generally temperature and impact resistant and thus provide durability to thewaist cuff 10. - In other embodiments, the resistive material may comprise tenite cellulosic. As is known in the art, tenite cellulosic plastics are noted for their toughness, hardness, strength, surface gloss, clarity, and warmness. The mechanical properties of tenite cellulosic plastics differ with varying plasticizer levels. Lower plasticizer content yields a harder surface, higher heat resistance, greater rigidity, higher tensile strength, and better dimensional stability. Higher plasticizer content increases impact strength. Tenite cellulose plastics are available in any color, including natural, clear, selected ambers, or smoke transparents and black translucents, from a wide range of distributors.
- As should be appreciated, the
main body 12 may be formed from any material that resists deformation and generally returns to its formed shape after application of a deforming force. For instance, themain body 12 may be formed from various types of plastics instead of or in addition to the various materials discussed above. For example, the resistive material may comprise materials such as copolyesters, pet polyesters, ABS, lucite, polypropylene, polyethylene, combinations thereof, and the like. Further, themain body 12 may be formed from non-plastic materials, such as wood, metals, fabric, combinations thereof, and the like. - In some embodiments, the
main body 12 is formed by plastic injection molding utilizing a plastic injection mold. Such a configuration enables themain body 12 to be easily and quickly formed into a single integrated body utilizing thermoplastic polymers or other similar or related plastics. Themain body 12 may additionally or alternatively be formed utilizing other methods, such as vacuum forming, hot form molding, any conventional plastic manufacturing process, or any other method of forming resistive materials. Themain body 12 may also be provided with any desirable color during formation through the utilization of dyes or other conventional methods. - The
main body 12 may be formed from a combination of materials. For example, encapsulated image layer technology may be utilized to combine fabric with copolyester plastic to form themain body 12 or potions of themain body 12. In various embodiments themain body 12 may also include holes or apertures to facilitate coupling with clothing elements and positioning by the wearer. - The combined length of the
main body 12 andgap 18 generally corresponds to the circumference of a portion of the wearer's waist. “Waist,” as utilized herein, refers to the portion of the wearer's body between the wearer's ribs and hips, including the wearer's hips. - In some embodiments, the combined length of the
main body 12 andgap 18 may be generally similar to that of a conventional belt. As should be appreciated, different embodiments of thewaist cuff 10 may include main bodies of different lengths to accommodate varying body types and waist sizes. For instance, various embodiments of thewaist cuff 10 may provide mens and womens sizes including small, medium, large, and extra large, and/or specificmain body 12 or combinedmain body 12 andgap 18 lengths in the range of approximately twenty-four inches through fifty inches. - Further, different embodiments of the
waist cuff 10 may include main bodies of different widths and thicknesses to accommodate varying clothing styles. For instance, in some embodiments themain body 12 may have a width between three and ten inches to present a wide configuration, as illustrated inFIGS. 8-9 , while in other embodiments themain body 12 may have a width between one-quarter inch and three inches to present a thin configuration, as illustrated inFIGS. 1-4 . Utilization of waist cuffs having different widths enables the present invention to be aesthetically and functionally coupled with varying styles of clothing. - As shown in
FIG. 10 , thewaist cuff 10 may additionally include variousdecorative elements 20 coupled with or integrated with themain body 12. For instance, thedecorative elements 20 may couple with themain body 12 or be embedded within or as part of themain body 12 during formation. Further, thedecorative elements 20 may be inserted or otherwise coupled with holes or apertures formed within themain body 12. - The
decorative elements 20 may include a fabric sleeve operable to envelop themain body 12, photos or images embedded within themain body 12, decorative pieces such as copper, silver, gold, wood, straw, gems, jewels, fabrics, leather, lace, suede, and any other textile materials or objects. In various embodiments, thedecorative elements 20 may be interchangeable such that the wearer may configure thewaist cuff 10 in any desired configuration. In some embodiments, the fabric sleeve may present a length substantially longer than the length of themain body 12 to enable portions of the fabric sleeve to be tied together by the wearer. Thus, the fabric sleeve may envelope the wearer's waist even though themain body 12 does not. - In some embodiments, the
main body 12 may include reinforcedportions 24 to increase the resistance applied by themain body 12 when deformed. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 5 , the reinforcedportions 24 may comprise portions, such as rear and side portions, of themain body 12 to increase the rigidity and limit the flexibility of specific portions of themain body 12. Such a configuration enables themain body 12 to properly deform when worn by the wearer, as discussed in more detail below, while also enabling themain body 12 to present a sufficient amount of force to securely position a garment on the wearer. - The reinforced
portions 24 may be formed by increasing the width and/or density of various portions of themain body 12, by including additional materials within or over themain body 12, by utilizing varying material compositions to form themain body 12, combinations thereof, and the like. Thus, portions of themain body 12 may be easily deformed while other portions of themain body 12, such as the reinforcedportions 24, may be difficult or impossible to deform. As such, themain body 12 does not necessarily present a uniform configuration and/or resistance to deformation. - In use, the
waist cuff 10 may be utilized in a similar manner to that of a belt to retain or position clothing on the wearer's body. To utilize thewaist cuff 10 to position a garment on the wearer, the garment may be positioned in proximity to the wearer's waist. In some embodiments, such as where the garment is a dress or pair of jeans, the garment may be supported by both thewaist cuff 10 and the wearer. In other embodiments, such as where the garment is a scarf or length of fabric, the garment may be positioned on the wearer by utilizing the waist cuff and then tying the garment in a desired configuration. - The
waist cuff 10 may be at least partially positioned around the wearer's waist to position the garment on the wearer's waist. Thewaist cuff 10 may be positioned at least partially around the wearer's waist by inserting a portion of the wearer's waist through thegap 18. Depending on the size of the wearer, it may be desirable to deform thewaist cuff 10, such as by applying force thereto, to increase the size of thegap 18 to a dimension greater than at least one of the dimensions of the wearer's waist to enable at least a portion of the wearer's waist to be inserted through thegap 18. - After the
waist cuff 10 is at least partially positioned around the wearer's waist, the wearer my stop applying force to thewaist cuff 10 and themain body 12 will attempt to at least partially return to its original configuration due to its resistive configuration. The resistive configuration of themain body 12 also continues to apply force against the wearer's waist to suspend or position clothing thereon. - The wearer may position the
gap 18 towards his or her front, rear, or sides to create a desired aesthetic or supportive effect. Positioning of thegap 18 on different portions of the wearer's body enables thewaist cuff 10 to functionally couple with garments in several different configurations to present varying appearances. For example, by positioning thegap 18 towards the wearer's back, themain body 12 presents a generally continuous appearance across the wearer's front. - As shown in
FIGS. 8-9 , some embodiments of thewaist cuff 10 are intended to be worn at the wearer's waist level above the wearer's hips and include arecess 22 to correspond to a dip in the wearer's back. However, in such embodiments thewaist cuff 10 may be worn by the wearer such that therecess 22 is positioned at the wearer's front or side to accommodate a particular clothing style. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , in some embodiments thewaist cuff 10 is intended to be worn at the wearer's hip level and is operable to be worn with a low-slung jean utilizing or not utilizing the jean's belt loops. In such embodiments, thewaist cuff 10 may lack therecess 22 discussed above and present a generally cylindrical or tubular configuration. Further, in such embodiments, the width of thewaist cuff 10 is preferably minimized to allow portions of thewaist cuff 10 to fit within a conventional belt loop. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , in some embodiments thewaist cuff 10 is operable to be worn above the wearer's hip on the upper portions of the wearer's waist. Such a configuration enables thewaist cuff 10 to aesthetically and functionally position a garment such as a dress on the wearer. Preferably, in such embodiments thewaist cuff 10 presents a wide configuration. However, in any embodiment, thewaist cuff 10 may present a width of any size and include or not include therecess 22 discussed above, and be positioned on any portions of the wearer's body. - It is believed that embodiments of the present invention and many of its attendant advantages will be understood by the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the components thereof without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention or without sacrificing all of its material advantages. The form herein before described being merely an explanatory embodiment thereof, it is the intention of the following claims to encompass and include such changes.
