- Trouser suspenders have been in use for many years and there have been numerous improvements to their layout and the means of attaching the suspenders to the wearer's trousers. Nonetheless, their general layout has remained relatively unchanged while there have been minor improvements to their mechanical fasteners. With the introduction of strong and compact magnets it is now possible to produce fasteners utilizing pairs of opposing polarity magnets. In fact there are numerous applications using magnets in fasteners, clips, hangers, accessory attachments and buttons. These magnetic fasteners are generally considered advantageous due to the relative ease of their attachment and detachment. Many of these fasteners utilize small magnets and housings so that they are unobtrusive and incorporate features to resist uncoupling due to movement transverse to the magnetic axes of the coupling magnets. As such, these fasteners have elaborately fabricated casings that require manual alignment of the matching pieces to fasten and still resist detachment due to forces along this transverse axis from attached straps, chains, cords and other such elements. These fasteners are meant to replace such items as buttons, jewelry clasps and undergarment strap connectors for bras.
- It would seem advantageous to develop a simplified type of magnetic fastener that would allow a garment or, specifically, a trouser suspenders to be attached without careful alignment of the fasteners and utilized in such a manner as to be worn as undergarments rather than on top of the outer surfaces of the wearer's clothing. This would provide the wearer with the support of suspenders without the usual visible straps and clasps; thus making suspenders an option for those individuals who, for one reason or another, would prefer not to appear to be wearing suspenders.
- Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide trouser support for those individuals with a need or desire for that support while avoiding the appearance of traditional suspenders or any stigma that might be associated with conventional over the clothing suspenders.
- Another specific object of the invention is to provide for various strap or support mechanisms that are specifically intended to be worn in a concealed fashion.
- A principal objective of the present invention is to provide a suspenders system for trousers that is easily and comfortably worn mostly underneath the wearer's outer layers of clothing to provide support for trousers
- This invention incorporates a unique system for attaching suspenders to the wearer's trousers by means of a magnetic clasp between the end of a suspenders strap and the trousers belt.
- The magnetic clasp comprises magnet having a casing and a matching ferrous metal attachment associated with a trousers belt. The magnet casing includes an attaching means for a strap. The magnet casing is positioned inside the trousers and opposite the ferrous metal attachment affixed to the trousers belt. The resultant magnetic attraction between the magnet and belt effectively connects the belt and trousers to the magnet casing which is, in turn, supported by a suspenders configuration attached to the magnet casing strap that is suited to carry the weight of the trousers on the wearer's shoulders and upper torso. This invention takes advantage of the fact that magnetic attraction of sufficient strength can connect this magnet and ferrous metal belt attachment through intervening layers of clothing and, therefore the magnet can be placed underneath a shirt and inside the trousers.
- Another embodiment of this invention is where the magnet is comprised of a rare earth material such as neodymium with a rating of N42 or higher.
- A further embodiment of this invention is where the magnet and casing are attached to a suspenders strap by a detachable means such as a hook and loop fastener.
- A still further embodiment of this invention is where the magnet casing is comprised of a plastic material with the outer edge of the casing wall slightly beyond the outer face of the magnet and incorporating serrations to resist slippage along the inner face of the wearer's clothing.
- Another embodiment of this invention is where the casing is comprised of a plastic material which completely encases the magnet and the outer face of the casing incorporates serrations or texture to resist slippage along the inner face of the wearer's clothing.
- A further embodiment of this invention is where the casing is comprised of a metal material with the casing walls extending slightly beyond the outer face of the magnet to resist slippage along the inner face of the wearer's clothing. The casing may be of a magnetic material and of complimentary polarity to the magnet and my incorporate a decorative coating.
- A still further embodiment of this invention is where the casing is comprised of a metal material to hold the magnet and provide structure for the casing and an outer covering of a soft plastic material such that there is a means of resisting slippage along the inner face of the wearer's clothing.
- Another embodiment of this invention is where the ferrous metal belt attachment is formed into a “J” shape and incorporates a spring foil such that this attachment may be positioned on the underside of the belt and be held in place by friction.
- A further embodiment of this invention is where the ferrous metal belt attachment is formed into a “C” shape such that is held in place on the inside of the belt with little probability of leaving an indention or mark on the belt material.
- A still further embodiment of this invention is where the ferrous metal belt attachment is permanently fastened to the belt and held in place by a fastening means such as a metal rivet, an adhesive or stitching.
- Another embodiment of this invention is where the ferrous metal belt attachment is permanently incorporated within the belt and is held in place in a pouch shape in the belt material or held in place by adhesive means.
- A further embodiment of this invention is where the ferrous metal belt attachment is magnetized so as to enhance the attraction between the magnet casing and ferrous metal belt attachment.
- A still further embodiment of this invention addresses the use of the magnetic clasp for a user not wearing a belt. In this case the ferrous metal belt attachment is replaced by a target magnet. This target magnet would have a casing of plastic metal or other suitable material and shaped so as to facilitate the detachment of this magnet in order to release the magnetic clasp.
- Another embodiment of this invention is making available to users a suspenders that is durable, easy to use, inexpensive to manufacture and easy to adapt to a variety of clothing and accessory combinations. The magnetic clasp makes it extremely easy to attach suspender ends to the trousers because the magnet and ferrous metal belt attachment need only be brought into general proximity with one another in order for the clasping connection to be made.
- Additional and various other objects and advantages will become more apparent as the specification is read and the accompanying figures are reviewed.
