Abstract
A device to keep pants pulled up and shirts tucked in comprising a two-part design that secures the lower torso of the shirt under the beltline. The device comprises an elastic ring and a receiver body that are constructed to capture the shirt between the elastic ring and a groove of receiver body. When the device and shirt are tucked into the pants, a second groove of receiver body is configured to rest on the lower lip of a belt of waistline. The shirt is thereby held below the belt, providing the wearer confidence in his or her appearance while participating in an active lifestyle.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/939,847, filed Nov. 25, 2019.
- For the well-dressed person engaging in an active lifestyle, there's nothing more important than keeping their pants pulled up and their shirt tucked in. Belts, adjustable waist bands, elastics, snaps, buttons, and zippers are among the common trappings utilized for this purpose. Prior to cinching the pants around the waist, the finishing touch is tucking the shirt into the pants to present a streamlined torso. This look stays for a few moments, but after a few exaggerated motions while giving a presentation or hailing a taxi, and the shirt mushrooms around the waist and appears disheveled.
- Depending on body type, even a tightly cinched belt may not sufficiently solve the problem of holding pants up. This is often the case when the hips and butt are smaller than the waist and the clothing is not properly tailored to the body shape. Alternative approaches have included wearing a combination of inner and outer belt, wherein the first belt goes under the pants to provide extra friction and ridges around the waist, adhesive gripping tabs to be positioned around the waist, and padded underwear or shapewear, but these solution can be uncomfortable or create awkward situations.
- The afore mentioned solution aid in keeping pants up, but do not necessarily address the shirt untucking issue—and some may further exasperate the issue as re-tucking becomes more difficult. The military has addressed rising shirt tails by employing a garter system that attaches the shirt end to the wearer's socks under the pants, which is highly functional, but adds requirements and limitations on the wearer's socks. Another option in practice is tucking the shirt ends into the user's underwear, which is again functional but creates an awkward situation as the underwear waistband rises over the waistline.
- The solution to this two-part problem lies in a discrete method to keep the pant waistline and shirt in communication.

Three embodiments are presented herein which include a single and double grooved apparatus and an alternative threaded apparatus. The disclosure presents the features of each design as well as a method of use.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , a two-piece double-grooved apparatus 100 comprises a groovedreceiver body 150 and aring 110. Thering 110 and groovedreceiver body 150 are interlocking within a first groove and configured to entrap the continuous fabric of a shirt between them. A second groove is designed to catch the lower edge of a belt or waistband. -
FIGS. 2A-2G provide various viewpoints of the double-grooved apparatus.FIG. 2A shows an upper isometric view of the double-grooved apparatus with ring and grooved receiver body.FIG. 2B shows a left view of the double-grooved apparatus with ring and grooved receiver body.FIG. 2C shows a right view of the double-grooved apparatus with ring and grooved receiver body.FIG. 2D shows a top view of the double-grooved apparatus with ring and grooved receiver body.FIG. 2E shows a bottom view of the double-grooved apparatus with ring and grooved receiver body.FIG. 2F shows a back view of the double-grooved apparatus with ring and grooved receiver body.FIG. 2G shows a front view of the double-grooved apparatus with ring and grooved receiver body. When viewed from the front (FIG. 2G ) the double-grooved apparatus may be generally described as round, however, it should be understood that many of the concepts presented herein could be utilized in other geometries such oval or even as square, rectangular, hexagonal or a variety of shapes. -
FIG. 3 shows the double-grooved apparatus 100 separated into the two components: thering 110 and thereceiver body 150. Thedirectional arrows 130 indicates how the ring is attached and removed from the back of the receiver body. Thering 110 is configured to wrap around and encompass thegrooved area 156, and thus, the geometry of thegrooved area 156 generally conforms to the inner geometry of thering 110. In use, the fabric of a shirt is trapped between the interior or the ring and the secured position or back groove of the receiver body. -
FIG. 4 provides additional details of thering 110. Specifically, the ring comprises a toroidalshaped body 120 and a tabbedextension 116. The toroidal body is defined as having aninner diameter 114 and anouter diameter 112, and a cross-sectional diameter D1. In the preferred embodiment, thering 110 has an elastic property that allows it to radially expand and constrict. The elasticity provides the ring the ability to traverse over an entrapped fabric and the back rim of thereceiver body 150. - The ring can operate between two states known as a stretched state and secured state. The stretched state is defined as a condition allowing the inner diameter of the ring to extend beyond the diameter of the back face of the receiver body. The secured state is defined as a condition in which the inner diameter of the ring is smaller than the diameter of the back face of the receiver body.
- The tab extension or pull tab of the ring allows users to easily remove the ring from the receiver body and aids in applying the ring to the receiver body. In some embodiments, the tab extension has a series of ribs to provide friction or a grip as the tab is pulled between finger and thumb.
- A side view of the
receiver body 150 of the double-grooved apparatus is shown inFIG. 5A . The receiver body is defined as having aback rim 154, amiddle rim 158, and afront rim 164. A first groove or backgroove 156 exists between the back rim and the middle rim. A second groove orfront groove 162 exists between themiddle rim 158 and thefront rim 164. The receiver body also has aback face 152 and afront face 160. - The
front face 160 andback face 152, as shown inFIGS. 5B and 5C respectively, have a plurality of frictional members arranged on each face. As shown inFIG. 5B , the front facingfrictional members 168 of thefront face 160 are illustrated as an arrangement of pyramids. The front facing frictional members face the inside pant fabric and may therefore be pointed without concern. As shown inFIG. 5C , the back facingfrictional members 170 on theback face 152 are shown as a series of rounded bumps. As the back facingfrictional members 170 may engage with a lighter material of a shirt and pressed against the body, a less aggressive and sharp design may be used. Alternative designs may be employed for both the front facing frictional members and back facing frictional members (168 and 170) including cones, pyramids, bumps, or any variety of shapes. - The
back face 152 of the receiver body is shown as generally flat. In an alternative embodiment the back face, which is in communication with the wearer's body, may have an outwardly convex or an inwardly concave outer face corresponding to the curvature a man or woman's body. - In some embodiments the
ring 110 may have a cross sectional area D1 of 2 mm to 4 mm, anouter radius 112 between 8 mm and 12.5 mm, and aninner radius 114 of 5 mm to 9 mm. In some embodiments, the back groove which is designed to secure the ring may have a width (W1 ofFIG. 5A ) of 4 mm to 8 mm—and preferably approximately 6 mm. In some embodiments, the front groove which is designed to interface with a belt or waistband may have a width (W2 ofFIG. 5A ) of 4 mm to 10 mm—and preferably approximately 6 mm. - In some embodiments the back face of the receiver body is either manufactured or coated with a soft membrane such as silicon or cloth. In some embodiments, the receiver body is either manufactured or coated with a gel-like material such as santaoprene.
- The double-
grooved apparatus 100 includes a front groove used to interface with a belt or waistband, and a back groove which uses a ring to secure the fabric of a shirt. First, the back face of thereceiver body 150 is positioned on the exterior bottom edge or lower torso area of a shirt generally corresponding to a position on the hip below the beltline. The receiver body is oriented such that theback face 152 of the receiver body is positioned towards the wearer's body. Next, thering 110 is positioned on the interior bottom edge of the shirt corresponding with theback rim 156 of the receiver body. Thering 110 is oriented such that the inner diameter of the ring is concentric to the back rim. With the shirt positioned between thering 110 and theback face 150 of the receiver body, pressure is applied on thering 110 to cause thering 110 to expand over the back rim, and constrict and settle into theback groove 156, thereby securing the shirt fabric with the ring within theback groove 156 and between theback rim 154 andmiddle rim 158. The result of securing the receiver body with the ring is shown inFIG. 6 . with the pants folded back. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , the wearer then raises his pants up such that thebelt 415 is positioned above thefront rim 164. The belt may then be guided into thefront groove 162 between thefront rim 164 andmiddle rim 158.

FIG. 16 shows the threaded apparatus positioned on ashirt 405 with the waistline of the pants pulled down (i.e. showing the inside flap of the pants flipped open). The threadedapparatus 200 is used to provide a subtle ridge that the pants waistline can rest on, possibly with the assistance of a belt. The following description outlines how to create the ridge. First, themale member 250 is positioned on the interior bottom edge of ashirt 405 generally corresponding to a position on the hip below the beltline. Themale member 250 is oriented such that the flat surface of the male member is against the wearer's body and the threaded portion protrudes laterally. Next, thefemale member 300 is positioned on the exterior bottom edge of theshirt 405 corresponding with the male member. Thefemale member 300 is oriented to axially receive the threaded portion of themale member 250. With theshirt 405 positioned between the mating sections, pressure is applied to thefemale member 300 to engage the threaded area of the male and female members. Thefemale member 300 is rotated as to capture theshirt fabric 405 between the threaded area and secure the male and female member together with the results shown inFIG. 16 . Thewearer 400 then raises hispants 410 up such that thebelt 415 is positioned above the ridge created by thethreated apparatus 200.FIG. 16 illustrates the positioning of the threadedapparatus 200 positioned below the user'sbelt 415. In the preferred embodiment, the apparatus is used as a pair positioned on generally laterally opposing sides along the hip as shown. - Single Grooved Apparatus
- As shown in
FIG. 17 , the two-piecegrooved apparatus 500 comprises thegrooved member 520 and thering 510. Like the double-grooved apparatus, thering 510 andgrooved member 520 are interlocking and configured to entrap the fabric of a shirt between them. - The
ring 510 is generally toroidal shaped having aninner diameter 514 and anouter diameter 512, as shown inFIG. 19 , and a cross-sectional diameter L4, as shown onFIG. 21 . In some embodiments, thering 510 has an elastic property that allows it to radially expand and constrict. The ring with the extended tab shown in the double groove design may also be used with this single groove design. - In one embodiment, the
grooved member 520 comprises two opposingpartial hemispheres grooved area 545 as shown inFIG. 18 . Thefirst hemisphere 530 has aperimetric radius 540, and thesecond hemisphere 525 has aperimetric radius 535. In some embodiments, theperimetric radius 535 of thesecond hemisphere 525 is larger than theperimetric radius 540 of thefirst hemisphere 530. In some embodiments, the perimetric radius of the first andsecond hemispheres perimetric radii inner diameter 514 of thering 510. - A
grooved area 545 exists between the first andsecond hemispheres ring 510 is configured to wrap around and encompass thegrooved area 545, and thus, the geometry of thegrooved area 545 generally corresponds to the inner geometry of thering 510. - In an alternative embodiment the second hemisphere, which is in communication with the wearer's body, may have a generally flat or inwardly concave outer face corresponding to the curvature a man or woman's body—as opposed to the
convex face 525. -
FIGS. 20 and 21 show thegrooved apparatus 500 with thering 510 in thegrooved area 545 of thegrooved member 520. In some embodiments, a fillet perpendicular to the perimetric radius of the first andsecond hemispheres ring 510 from the groovedarea 545. - In some embodiments the
ring 510 may have a cross sectional area L4 of 1 mm to 3 mm, anouter radius 512 between 8 mm and 12.5 mm, and aninner radius 514 of 5 mm to 9 mm. In some embodiments, the grooved member has a thickness L3 of 4 mm to 8 mm—and preferably approximately 6 mm. - In some embodiments the outer face of the
second hemisphere 525 is either manufactured or coated with a soft membrane such as silicon or cloth. In an alternative embodiment the outer face of the first hemisphere and second hemisphere may have a plurality of frictional members arranged on each face similar to the double-groove design. Frictional members may include cones, pyramids, bumps, or any variety of shapes. - Similar to the double-grooved apparatus, the single
grooved apparatus 500 is used to provide a subtle ridge that the pants waistline can rest on, possibly with the assistance of a belt. The following description outlines how to create the ridge. First, thegrooved member 520 is positioned on either the interior or exterior bottom edge or lower torso area of a shirt generally corresponding to a position on the hip below the beltline. Thegrooved member 520 is oriented such that the largerconvex surface 525 of grooved member is positioned against the wearer's body. Next, thering 510 is positioned on the opposite side (either exterior or interior) bottom edge of the shirt corresponding with the smallerconvex surface 530 of thegrooved member 520. Thering 510 is oriented such that theinner radium 514 is parallel to thegroove 545 of thegroove member 520. With the shirt positioned between thering 510 and the smallerconvex surface 530 of thegrooved member 520, pressure is applied on thering 510 to cause thering 510 to expand over the smallerouter radius 540 of thegrooved member 520, and constrict and settle into thegroove 545, thereby securing the shirt fabric within thegroove 545 between thegrooved member 520 and thering 510. The wearer then raises his pants up such that the belt is positioned above the ridge created by thegrooved apparatus 500. Like the double-grooved apparatus shown inFIG. 7 , the single-grooved apparatus 100 positioned below the user's belt. In the preferred embodiment, the apparatus is used as a pair positioned on generally laterally opposing sides along the hip.
