An improved corset structure of a half-body type, capable of extending to the thigh. A reinforcing structure is provided in the corset in contact with the private part of a user. The reinforcing structure includes a first zipper, that can be opened for the user to urinate; and two second zippers, each disposed on a side of the first zipper. The second zippers are used to increase width of the reinforcing structure, while rigidity of the second zipper is the same as the first zipper. As such, the second zippers are able to support the first zipper, and prevent it from getting inward to the private parts of the user when the user making movements, and the ensuing discomfort to the user.

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 finger restraint glove prevents restrained individuals from using their hands and fingers in undesired ways, with the gloves completely limiting the ability of restrained individuals to use their hands and fingers by encapsulating their hands. The gloves contain straps and fastening elements, and can be used in conjunction with handcuffs and other wrist restraint devices.

An adaptable shirt stay for maintaining shirttails in a flat and fully extended position. The shirt stay is provided in a kit that includes a pair of thigh bands, a crotch panel, a plurality of thigh belts and a plurality of straps having at least one clasp on one end for anchoring the shirttail to the thigh bands, the crotch panel or a combination of thigh bands and crotch panel. The straps are adjustable for accommodating a plurality of shirts of many different lengths and styles of shirttails. The shirt stay provides easy access to undergarments through a crotch panel that selectively opens when the shirt stay is in place. The shirt stay optionally has a plurality of downward straps with clasps attaching to the thigh bands for maintains stockings in place.

A quick fastening and disconnecting buckle fastener system is configured for improved ease of one handed adjustment. For reliable locking, and convenient operation the system incorporates lateral pivoting latches assembled within a receiving enclosure shell having entry and exit openings accommodating a lengthwise semi rigid insertion structure containing lateral opposing ridges. Said ridges cooperate with said latches in a manner allowing ease of continued entry directional movement and securely locking should motion be reversed. Purposeful disconnection is activated thru simultaneous press in of side levers releasing latch locking of insertion structure thereby allowing movement in a reversed direction. Use of aforementioned fastening device removes need for having to re-lace belt thru attachment loops or additional sliding hardware as means of adjustment.

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 control system for controlling tension applied to a lace cable coupled to a support structure of an adaptive support garment is discussed herein. The control system can include a lace spool, a damper mechanism, and a locking ring. The lace spool can include a lace groove to receive the lace cable and a rotary bias member to apply rotational tension to resist extension of the lace cable out of a housing holding the control system. The damper mechanism is engagable with the lace spool to generate an additional rotational tension resisting extension of the lace cable out of the housing. The locking ring is frictionally coupled to the lace spool, and the locking ring can include a lock wedge adapted to disengage the damper mechanism upon rotation into a pre-determined rotational position relative to the damper mechanism.

A fastener for incorporation into an article of clothing, for example an adjustable cap, is disclosed. The fastener includes a first fastener counterpart and a second fastener counterpart that are co-operatively configured to define a plurality of co-operating connection systems. Each one of the plurality of co-operating connection systems, independently, includes a plurality of first interlocking counterparts and a plurality of second interlocking counterparts. The first and second fastener counterparts are cooperatively configured for disposition in a plurality of connected configurations. The plurality of connected configurations includes at least one multi-coupled connected configuration defined by at least one operative adjacent pair of releasably coupled relationships and participating first interlocking counterparts are releasably coupled with corresponding or participating second interlocking counterparts so that at least one non-participating second interlocking counterpart is disposed between the participating ones of the second interlocking counterparts of the operative adjacent pair of releasably coupled relationships.

Disclosed herein is a controller which allows a movement of a band in a first direction to be free but allows a movement of the band in a second direction to be selective.

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.
