Abstract
This redesigned suspender clasp alleviates the problem of suspender clasps coming unfastened when the wearer slides across a surface such as a vehicle seat by reversing the direction of the suspender clasp opening.

- The Stay Snapped Suspender 2 is an invention that addresses suspender clasps. The USPT office classification is Class DO2 subclass 626. Suspenders often come loose when the wearer sits down especially in a vehicle that requires sliding into the seat. Many people think the suspender coming loose is caused by the cloth pulling out from the suspender clasp. As witness to this, the Holdup Suspender Company makes a clasp that has a spear that penetrates the cloth, and Mars Suspender Company has a clasp that grips the cloth very tightly. This is not what happens. Ask wearers how often they find the clasp closed when the suspenders have come loose. The clasp is nearly always open. I have a set of suspenders that I purchased from Walmart. If I close the clasp on even a thin piece of cloth like a handkerchief, it is very hard to pull loose by hand.
- Suspender clasp that has a flat surface facing outward and the clasp opens toward the wearer rather than outward.
-
FIG. 1 shows a commonly used suspender clasp in open position. The lever plate serves as a lever to force the middle plate towards the toothed plate. -
FIG. 2 gives a left flank view of the Stay Snapped Suspender Clasp 2 in closed position -
FIG. 3 shows a top right perspective of the Stay Snapped Suspender Clasp 2 in closed position. -
FIG. 4 shows a back left perspective of the Stay Snapped Suspender Clasp 2 in closed position. - Commonly used suspenders are usually made with two straps that are crossed behind the back of the wearer and have clasps on each of the four ends of the straps. Each of the clasps is made with three plates that are hinged together on one end [
FIG. 1 ]. - The toothed plate with the metal hinged shoulder as an extention of the flat plate is referred to as the “base” plate because it is the base of the axle that hinges the plates together. The plate labeled to as a “lever” plate (untoothed) serves as a lever to force the middle (toothed) plate toward the base (toothed) plate. When the clasp is in the closed position the middle and base toothed plates grasp the garment that is being worn. The lever plate is against the middle plate. When the wearer of conventional suspenders sits on a seat that has a back, friction between the lever plate and the seat back frequently causes the lever plate to move away from the base plate, thus opening the clasp.
- In my invention (
FIGS. 2 , 3, and 4), one or more clasps are turned on the strap so that the lever plate is turned toward the wearer (FIG. 3 ). The base plate is ornamented in a way to indicate that it faces away from the wearer (FIG. 3 ). The lever plate is positioned toward the wearer (FIG. 4 ). With this redesign of the clasp, there is no friction between the lever plate and the back of the seat. The clasp is not forced open when the wearer sits down and thus stays snapped in the closed position.
Claims (2)
1. A pair of suspenders such that one or more clasps are attached to the suspender straps in such a way that the lever plate is turned toward the wearer.
2. A suspender clasp such that the base plate is ornamental to indicate that it is to be turned away from the wearer, thus becoming the face plate.
