Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for widening the waistband of a skirt, pants or the like.
• Skirts, pants or similar items of clothing with a waistband are made up and therefore only fit for a certain size.
• such items of clothing may become too small; be it that the wearer has gained weight or that it has shrunk by washing.
• the spreading device can advantageously be placed on the inside of the federal government and has contact elements which can be moved relative to one another and can be adjusted to the spreading force required for expansion.
• the expansion device has two contact elements which are semicircular and against which the collar rests during the expansion process.
• these contact elements are connected by a carrier which can be changed in length.
• the variability of the length of the carrier can be achieved according to a further feature of the invention in that the carrier is provided with a threaded bore for receiving the threaded rod arranged on the one attachment element.
• the other contact element is rotatably connected to the carrier.
• the one contact element has means for fixing the federal government; these means can be tensioning screws which are arranged at a distance from one another on the contact element. The distance is chosen so that the zipper or button or similar closing means are gripped by the tensioning screws on both sides in order to prevent tearing out during the wide operation .
• This is also the purpose of arranging a preferably vertical corrugation on the contact elements, since this effectively prevents slipping during the wide operation.
• Fig.l shows the device in a plan view; 2 shows a side view.
• the two contact elements 2 and 3 connected by the carrier 1 are essentially semicircular.
• the contact element 2 here has a threaded rod 4 which engages in a corresponding threaded bore 5 of the carrier 1.
• the other contact element 3 is rotatably connected to the carrier.
• the carrier has an attachment 6 which projects into this contact element, the attachment 6 being provided with a groove 7 into which a grub screw 8 projecting through the contact element engages.
• the contact element 2 has two clamping means 9.
• Each clamping means 9 consists of an angle element 10, which receives the clamping screw 11 so that the clamping screw 11 points in the direction of the semicircularly curved surface of the contact element 2.
• the contact elements are provided with a vertically extending corrugation 12.
