Systems and methods for monitoring the location of a patient using an integrated belt and sensor for alarm for patient furniture. The belt may include a plurality of straps configured to be releasably attached to one another and an alarm system that is triggered when at least one of the straps is disengaged from the other strap or straps. By requiring multiple straps to be released from one another, the amount of time it takes to remove the belt can be increased, which provides medical personnel additional time to reach a patient. Additionally, the system may include additional components to allow a patient to move side-to-side relative to the furniture or device. For instance, where the furniture is a bed, side-to-side movement is desired for added comfort. The system may include a slider enabling the belt to be adjustable for patients of any number of different sizes.

Examples of a waistband for a garment are disclosed. The waist band includes a front portion for covering at least a portion of an abdomen of a wearer, a back portion for covering at least a portion of a lower back area of the wearer, a first inner panel extending from a front central line at the front portion to a back central line at the back portion, a second inner panel extending from the front central line at the front portion to the back central line at the back portion, and at least one bonding adhesive panel bonding together the back portion with the first and second inner panels. The inside of the disclosed waistbands are seamless.

A wearable counting and score keeping apparatus is attachable to or integrated with an item of apparel. Scores for games played are tabulable upon the apparatus whereby a user need not write down scores but may signal a score in real time while actively involved in the game.

The Perfect Assistant is a garment with shapewear built into the inside. It is manufactured by sewing pieces of fabric together to match a specific waist measurement. Channels that contain strips of boning are inserted along the seams and throughout the width of the sewn pieces of fabric. The completed structure is then sewn to the wrong side of the garment's waist line creating a discrete compression feature that alters the body's measurements.

A child restraint assembly for inhibiting a child from wandering away from a caregiver includes a waist belt that is wearable around the waist of a caregiver. The waist belt has a plurality of connection points thereon being distributed along a full length of the waist belt. A strap is matable to a respective one of the connection points on the waist belt. A bell is coupled to the strap to emit an audible sound when the strap is moved. A wrist belt is coupled to the strap and the wrist is wearable around a wrist of a child when the strap is coupled to the waist belt. In this way the strap inhibits the child from moving away from the caregiver.

A waist belt for trousers, skirts and similar garments that are equipped with belt loops is formed from a band flat material that includes a central straight portion that has a predetermined length and covers a wearer's back. The central straight portion is orthogonal to a central symmetry plane. First and second terminal straight portions have a predetermined length and include respective buckle elements for mutual removable connection. The terminal straight portions are arranged orthogonal to a same terminal symmetry plane. First and second curved portions are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central portion and connect the central straight portion to the first and second terminal straight portions, respectively. The curved portions are configured to keep the terminal and central symmetry planes at a distance from each other between 3.2 and 20 cm. The belt enables a related system and a modified garment configured to fit the belt.
