Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to the field of pant supporting belts having additional engaging functionality that is attached by and supported by the belt.
- 2. Background of the Art
- The belt is a staple of functional apparel and clothing decorations. Originally little more than a rope around which pants or leggings were wrapped for support, belts became more and more decorative over time with colorful fabric and buckles and decorations added. The belt has become a standard in men's apparel for functional support of pants and trousers, and are often used on women's apparel more for decoration in addition to modest functionality. Pants and trousers are often provided with loops through which belts pass, and through which vertical support on the pants or trousers is provided.
- Another type of belt is used for essentially purely functional tasks, such as supporting tools and weapons for ease of access. Workmen's tool belts, telephone workers tool belts, sword belts with scabbards and gun belts with holsters are well known for common use.
- Other more specialized belts and waist supports have been proposed over the years.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,596,253 (Griffith) describes a garment that works in response to the degree of correction needed to support the anterior abdominal wall and provide a cosmetic reshaping of the abdomen to yield a flat appearance. A support panel (10) has three elastic webs (12, 14, 16) with their respective grains running at contrasting angles. When in use, the support panel is positioned on the lower abdomen and the webs interact with one another so that the support panel assumes a pouch-like shape that holds and lifts the abdomen. A shaping panel (40) is connected to the waistband and positioned in front of the support panel (10). The shaping panel (40) includes two elastic side webs (44,46) that interact with a nonelastic central web (42) to cause the shaping panel to assume a curvilinear operative configuration. A lower portion of the shaping panel conforms to the pouch-like shape of the support panel and cooperates therewith to hold and lift the abdomen. An upper portion of the shaping panel remains substantially flat and operates against the abdomen to spread the same between the hipbones and provide a flat appearance.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,062,414 (Grim) describes a back support constructed from a back brace of elastic material which carries a gel pad and an air bladder. The brace supports the pad against lower back of the user in firm engagement. The air bladder is juxtaposed and generally co-extensive with the pattern containing the gel-like material. The air bladder has three individually inflatable chambers, including left, right, and overall areas, so that the user may adjust the pressure exerted on the pad and hence the support of the lower back. The gel pad may also contain an adjustable heating element to electrically heat the gel-like material. The main portion of the back brace has two wide belt portions which extend forwardly and upwardly from the main lower back support area, and which are secured together by overlapping Velcro members at the lower stomach area; and the centerlines of these two wide belt portions may make an angle of about 30 degrees to 60 degrees with one-another. The air bladder assembly includes straps secured thereto which extend from the bladders per se through slits in the wide belts of the main portion of the back support and which straps are secured to the outer surfaces of the wide belts.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,926,183 (Spiro) describes a support device for a person's back, thoracic and pelvic areas having a pair of panels adapted to be positioned about the person's back, a plurality of fastening members at the front edges of the panels for securing the panels together and a pulley system fastened to the rear edges of the panels with tapes extending to the front of the panels whereby upon a simple pull on the tapes, the support will render total alignment and proper adjustment at desired degree of support to the body of the support device. A hook and buckle fastened to the ends of the tapes will maintain the support at the desired degree of tightness about the person's back.
- Published U.S. Patent Application Document No. 20080190980 (Overton) describes a compact yet expandable waist belt with a pouch preferably formed from a single piece of seamless elastic fabric, designed in some embodiments with pleats in the back, that remains taut around the wearer's body during even the most rigorous physical activities, whether the pouch is holding one smaller item (such as a key) or multiple larger items (such as a cell phone, mp3 player, and/or money). When empty, the pouch is preferably approximately the same width and thickness as the belt holding the pouch in place, and yet the pouch's internal volume can expand up to 300-400% or more to hold larger items or a large number of small items. The single pouch is sealed with zipper or other fasteners such as Velcro® allowing users to access belongings quickly and easily.
