- Preferably, the contained angle defined between each supplementary belt and the main belt is smaller than 90°.
- Preferably, the hanging belt further comprises a connection member, for example, a spring clip, snap hook or mobile phone strap can be fastened to the clasp.
- In one embodiment of the present invention, the fastening means is a snap button fastening structure, which comprises at least one single-sided snap button mounted at one side of each of the two opposite ends of the main belt, and at least one double-sided snap button mounted at each supplementary belt. Each double-sided snap button at each supplementary belt is detachably fastenable to one respective single-sided snap button at one end of the main belt. Further, one double-sided snap button at one supplementary belt is detachably fastenable to one respective double-sided snap button at the other supplementary belt.
- In another embodiment of the present invention, the fastening means is a fabric hook-and-loop fastening structure, which comprises a first fastening strip affixed to one side of each of the two opposite ends of the main belt, a second fastening strip affixed to one side of each supplementary belt, a third fastening strip affixed to an opposite side of one supplementary belt and a fourth fastening strip affixed to an opposite side of the other supplementary belt. The second fastening strips at the supplementary belts are respectively detachably fastenable to the two first fastening strips at the two opposite ends of the main belt. Further, the third fastening strip at one supplementary belt and the fourth fastening strip at the other supplementary belt are detachably fastenable to each other.
