The present invention discloses a string adjuster that can adjust the length of a string by winding the string. A string adjuster of the present invention includes a fixed unit and a rotation unit, in which a knob of the rotation unit includes a first extension having a counter-anti-separator formed on the interior circumferential surface and preventing separation from a housing, a second extension having a winding determination protrusion formed on the interior circumferential surface and determining winding and releasing modes, and a spacing groove formed between the first extension and the second extension.

A band length-adjustable hook-fixing type belt buckle according to the present disclosure comprises a band having a plurality of fixing holes formed in a surface thereof and configured to extend in a longitudinal direction; a pushing member provided at one end of the band and including a pushing portion fixing part extending in a width direction of the band and having a fitting groove perforated therein along the extension direction, a spring inserted into the fitting groove to give elasticity, and pushing portions provided at both ends of the fitting groove to be pushed from an inner side of the fitting groove to an outer side by means of the spring; and a buckle provided at the other end of the band and having a slide groove perforated therein and extending along the longitudinal direction so that the pushing portion slides therein.

A bathrobe construction including a continuous main body having a left-side front flap, a right-side front flap, a back, a right sleeve, a left sleeve and optionally a hood. A gathered waistband extends continuously across the left-side front flap, the back, and the right-side front flap. A tab affixed to one of the right-side front flap and the left-side front flap includes a hook fastener attachable to a first non-loop fastener positioned on an inside of the waistband when the bathrobe is in an open condition. A second non-loop fastener positioned on an outside of the waistband of the other of the right-side front flap and the left-side front flap to which the tab is not affixed is used to removably attach the tab to hold the bathrobe in a closed condition.

An adjustable tightening device is provided, including: a fastening, an actuating member and a rotatable member. Wherein when the rotatable member is rotated toward a first direction, each abutting rib of the rotatable member is located in the third position, each of the two abutting ribs abuts against one of two elastic arms of the actuating member so that a ratchet is not meshed with an annular gearing portion of the fastening mechanism and a gear portion of the actuating member is rotatable toward the first direction; wherein when the rotatable member is rotated toward a second direction, each of the two abutting ribs is located in the fourth position, each of the two abutting ribs abuts against one of the two elastic arms so that the ratchet is meshed with the annular gearing portion and the gear portion is unidirectionally rotatable toward the second direction.

A garment closure is provided for closing a gape formed between first and second panels of a garment. The garment closure has a first retainer including a biasing member, for retaining the first panel of the garment; and a second retainer, coupled to said first retainer, for retaining the second panel of the garment, to thereby close a gape between the lower panel and the upper panel of the garment.

An ultralight belt, ultralight crossbody strap, ultralight pocketbook, ultralight tote, ultralight backpack, and ultralight footwear, each having an endoskeletal structure having improved properties such stability, lightness, breathability, expandability, comfort, and/or superior biomechanical alignment and load/weight management distribution.

A garment, preferably a garment for infants, toddlers and children, includes a zipper for securing the wearer within the garment. A locking device is provided for securing the zipper in a closed position when the wearer is received within the garment. The locking device has a retaining element for preventing movement of the zipper slider once it has reached its fully closed position, and a first closure element for enclosing the zipper and the retaining element. The locking device protects the and maintains the zipper in its fully closed position in two separate ways, namely, by retaining element preventing movement of the zipper from its fully closed position, and by the closure element which prevents access to the zipper and the retaining element when the zipper is in its fully closed position. Preferably, the zipper and the locking device are provided at a position on the garment which further prevents access to the zipper and locking device by the wearer.

A buckle operable with a securement strap. In a most preferred form, the buckle is a belt buckle for a belt including a belt strap having a free end, a connection end and an inner surface having one or more belt strap abutment portions. The buckle includes a body having a first end, a second end and a surface disposed between the first and second ends. The body further includes at least one buckle abutment portion extending outwardly or inwardly from the surface. The first end of the body is configured to be connected to a connection end of a belt strap. The at least one buckle abutment portion is configured to engage (i.e., to contact directly or be positioned to act with) at least one belt strap abutment portion. A release can be movably connected to the body. The moveable release (if used) can slide, pivot or otherwise move relative to the at least one buckle abutment portion.

A pulley for a wearable article includes a frame defining an aperture and a slot spaced apart from the aperture. A pulley wheel is disposed exterior to the frame, and a hub extends from the pulley wheel through the aperture. The hub engages the frame in a locked position, and is disengaged from the frame in an unlocked position. The hub is further from the slot in the locked than in the unlocked position. The hub and the pulley wheel are rotatable relative to the frame in the locked position. In another pulley, a frame defines an internal void and a slot extending through the frame and spaced apart from the internal void. A pulley wheel disposed exterior to the frame is spaced apart from the slot. A plurality of legs extends from the pulley wheel and is locked to the frame. The frame may include an anchor bar.

A device for adjusting the fit of a garment may include a track having a plurality of track teeth; and a button including a shoe designed to removably engage with the track; a spring operatively engaged with the shoe; and a plurality of button teeth operatively attached to the spring. When the spring is not compressed, the plurality of button teeth may be designed to removably engage with the plurality of track teeth, and when the spring is compressed, the plurality of button teeth may be designed to disengage from the plurality of track teeth. The device may be attached to the waistband of a garment, resulting in a garment with an adjustable sized waist.
