Duty belt core constituting a rigid backbone of a duty belt, comprising a left hand side piece firmly attached to a left hand half of a front belt buckle, a right hand side piece firmly attached to the right hand half of the front belt buckle. Each of the left hand and right hand side pieces is connected to a common back piece via side-symmetrical length adjustment patterns and safety stops preventing accidental disengagement of the side pieces from the common back piece. A belt buckle provided with extensions, as well as use hereof is also disclosed.

A belt buckle structure includes a buckle body and a plate-based controller. The buckle body is provided with a coupling section and a connection section at two ends thereof. The coupling section is formed with a pivoting notch in a top side and a recess in a bottom side. A pin hole is formed in each of two sides of the buckle body. The plate-based controller includes a coupling axle having a pawl. The coupling axle is arranged in the coupling section. A fixing member has a protruding section fit into the recess. A pin is received through the pint hole to penetrate through the recess and extend into a positioning hole of the fixing member. A primary constraint frame has two side portions collaborating with the pin to attach to two sides of the buckle body.

A device for adjusting the fit of a garment may include a monorail track with a plurality of rail teeth spaced along a length thereof; a rail carriage slidably engaged with the monorail track; and a button operatively attached to the rail carriage, wherein at least one of the rail carriage and the button includes a locking device to removably engage with the plurality of track teeth. The locking device may be a trigger post with a button tooth, an engagement pin, a pinch clamp, a leaf spring, or the like. Size adjustment of a garment may be accomplished by sliding the button to a desired position of the monorail track and locking the button into place with the locking device.

The present invention relates to a sensing device (10) designed for being applied on a first flap (11) and on a second flap (12) of an opening (13) arranged in a wearable item (14). The sensing device (10) comprises: a triggering element (20) arranged on the first flap (11) of the opening (13) and comprising an activating component (23); a switch element (30) arranged on the second flap (12) of the opening (13) and comprising a sensing component (33); the sensing component (33) being designed for emitting an electrical output signal when it is put in a predetermined mutual position with respect to the activating component (23). According to the invention the triggering element (20) is provided with at least one alignment component (22; 22A, 22B) designed for interacting with a corresponding alignment component (32; 32A, 32B) of the switch element (30) so as to autonomously and automatically put in said predetermined mutual position the activating component (23) and the sensing component (33) when the first flap (11) is drawn close to the second flap (12), or viceversa. The invention also relates to a closure device comprising said sensing device (10) and to a method for manufacturing said sensing device (10).

A belt connection structure of a wearable product is provided. A first transmission rack is provided on a side wall of a first elongate hole. A second transmission rack is provided on a side wall of a second elongate hole facing the first transmission rack. A gear is engaged with the first and second transmission racks respectively. A connecting member coaxial with the gear is provided on a side surface of the gear. A sleeve communicating with a slide way is provided on the outer side wall of an outer cover. The inner side wall of the sleeve is provided with teeth extending in the axial direction. At least two annular grooves are formed on the outer side wall of the sleeve. A belt button is mounted on the sleeve, and comprises a pressing portion and a connecting column. The pressing portion and the connecting column are slidable in the axial direction but are not rotatable relative to each other. Position limiting teeth are provided on the outer side surface of the connecting column. The circumferential surface of the connecting column is further provided with a snap-fit flange spaced from the connecting column. The snap-fit flange is engaged with an annular groove.

A technique for closing garments provides a flexible line and a take-up component. The flexible line has a first end and a second end. Each end of the flexible line is coupled to a respective fastener, and each fastener is configured to attach to a respective garment portion, such as portions of a sweater, prayer shawl, scarf, or the like. The take-up component contains a segment of the flexible line and is adjustable to vary the segment's length. In this manner, a person can attach the two fasteners and adjust the take-up component to vary a degree of closure between the garment portions.

This invention relates to an apparatus and method for fastening apparel with a fastener having an integrated and adjustable tensioner that facilitates a precise fitment of the apparel when worn.

A belt buckle structure includes a buckle body and a plate-based controller. The buckle body is provided with a coupling section and a connection section at two ends thereof The coupling section is formed with a pivoting notch in a top side and a recess in a bottom side. A pin hole is formed in each of two sides of the buckle body. The plate-based controller includes a coupling axle having a pawl. The coupling axle is arranged in the coupling section. A fixing member has a protruding section fit into the recess. A pin is received through the pint hole to penetrate through the recess and extend into a positioning hole of the fixing member. A primary constraint frame has two side portions collaborating with the pin to attach to two sides of the buckle body.

An apparatus includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion generally comprises a channel feature. The second portion generally comprises a rib feature. The rib feature is generally configured to fit within the channel feature.

Disclosed herein is a fastening structure which enables objects to be easily removeably coupled, and enables a smooth slideable coupling and decoupling. The fastening structure includes a male and female component. The male component is cross shaped with a wing member and cross bar member. The female component has a complementary structure with an elongate slot and cross groove, such that the male component is slideably received and mated.
