A zippered garment includes an abdominal body portion having a front zipper and a rear zipper extending from a neck portion to a crotch portion of the body portion. The garment has tubular legs each having a zipper along the length thereof. All four zipper have a closure member which is at the crotch portion when the garment is closed. Advantageously, mentally ill garment wearers cannot open the garment since they are used to opening zippers which close at the top. Accordingly, such patients would not be able to access their lower abdominal or crotch region. Conversely, long-term care workers can open the garment to replace an incontinence product for example. The garment may be used with adults or children alike, and may be made in one piece or multiple pieces that mate together.

Provided is a polyamide resin composition for a slide fastener that includes at least one polyamide resin and reinforcing fibers, wherein a total mass of the polyamide resin and the reinforcing fibers accounts for 90% by mass or more of the composition; wherein poly(m-xylylene adipamide) (MXD 6) accounts for 60% by mass or more of the polyamide resin; wherein reinforcing fibers account for 45 to 70% by mass of the total mass of the polyamide resin and the reinforcing fibers; wherein both first reinforcing fibers having a fiber diameter of from 5 to 7 m and second reinforcing fibers having a fiber diameter larger than that of the first reinforcing fibers by more than 2 m account for 90% by mass or more of the reinforcing fibers; and wherein the first reinforcing fibers account for 20% by mass or more and less than 50% by mass of the reinforcing fibers.

A unitary garment having arm sleeves or pants legs in which the length of the arm sleeves or pants legs is selectively adjustable by the user. The arm sleeves or pants legs of the garment include upper and lower sections and an intermediate section therebetween. The intermediate section includes a fabric integrally extending between the upper and lower sections, and matching the fabric of the arms or legs of the garment, and a storage compartment with a closure element for receiving the fabric of the intermediate section in a folded state. The length of the arm sleeves or pants legs of the garment is at a minimum when the fabric of the intermediate section is folded in the storage compartment, and is at a maximum when the fabric is released from the storage compartment. The unitary garment enables the user to selectively adjust the length of the arm sleeves or pants legs without physically attaching or detaching extension sections to the arms and legs, and without the use of separate external adjustment components. The length of the main body of the garment can also be selectively adjustable by the user in the same manner as the arm sleeves or pants legs.

Two mattresses, of a same a different depth, share a same length and width. Each is in a shape of a rectangular prism and when placed one on top of the other, a larger rectangular prism is created. In order to hold the two mattresses in place when used together, a connector or connectors emanating from the sides or corners of each mattress are used. Such connectors can include hoop and loop fasteners, rings, hooks, lengths of fabric, and any combination thereof which hold the mattresses together in a taut manner.

Covers for a duvet include a first panel and a second panel substantially similar to the first panel and overlying the first panel, the first panel and the second panel being complimentarily configured with the duvet and each having a common periphery defined by a first edge, a second edge opposite the first edge, a third edge extending between the first edge and the second edge, and a fourth edge extending between the first edge and the second edge opposite the third edge, and a detachable fastener for selectively fastening a portion of the first panel to the second panel, the detachable fastener being attached to the first panel and to the second panel along a detachable portion of the second edge, the third edge, and a detachable portion of the fourth edge, wherein the first panel is fixed to second panel along the first edge.

The present invention relates to a baby carrier belt, and more particularly, to a no-noise detachable baby carrier belt, which does not generate noise when the belt is fastened and unfastened so as to prevent a baby or an infant who is sleeping in a baby carrier from awaking from sleep due to noise generated when the belt is fastened and unfastened.
