A support belt (10) includes an elongate belt (12) having a dead end region (14) and a live end region (16) and buckling (18) to releasably connect the dead and live end regions in a relaxed tightness condition of the support belt and secure the dead and live end regions in a tightened closed condition of the support belt in which a free end of the live end region overlies a free end of the dead end region. The buckling (18) has a first anchor portion (24) fixed to the live end region (16), a second anchor portion (26) configured to releasably engage apertures 28 provided in the dead end region and a locking mechanism (30) pivotally connected with the first and second anchor portions and operable to draw the first anchor portion towards the second anchor portion to change the tightness condition of the support belt from the relaxed tightness condition to the tightened closed condition.

A sports accessory belt having a belt strip having an attachment mechanism and a base strip, and a hem, wherein an interior surface of the attachment mechanism is connected to an exterior surface of the base strip.

A weightlifting belt includes a flexible strap portion with a first major surface (e.g., a front), a second major surface (e.g., a back), a first longitudinal end, a second longitudinal end, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side. An anchor assembly is in contact with the first major surface of the flexible strap portion near the first longitudinal end of the flexible strap portion. A lever-actuated hook assembly is in contact with the first major surface of the flexible strap portion near the second longitudinal end of the flexible strap portion. The lever-actuated hook assembly is configured to engage the anchor assembly so as to hold the first longitudinal end of the strap portion close to, or in physical contact with, the second longitudinal end of the strap portion so as to form a loop that can fit around a waist of a human.

A duty belt for providing visibility and awareness of the user wearing the belt is disclosed. The belt is worn about the waist and generally provides a lighting element which illuminates in order to improve the visibility and awareness of a person viewed from a distance.

Despite the ordinary appearance of the belt apparatus, it includes airbags internal thereto whose expansion is controlled by a control apparatus. Responsive to a falling event in a particular direction with respect to the person, the control apparatus triggers the rapid expansion of an airbag that is situated on the belt element in the particular direction with respect to the person and takes other actions.

An article may include a base structure with a strand and an adjustment member. The adjustment member may include a course with a plurality of loops, and the strand of the base structure may be inlaid within the course of the adjustment member adjacent to a first loop and a second loop of the plurality of loops. The adjustment member may be configured to slide along the base structure from a first state to a second state such that the first loop and the second loop define a first loop distance in the first state, and the first loop and the second loop define a second loop distance in the second state. The first loop distance may be greater than the second loop distance.

A wearable strap 10 comprising releasable connection means 14 for securing the strap 10 around part of a person's body, a detector for wirelessly detecting an electronic device, a controller 16 programmed with at least one predetermined threshold for a distance between the strap 10 and electronic device, and at least one of: a) alert means 26a, 26b including at least a speaker or vibrator in the strap 10, and b) signalling means in the strap for sending a signal to a remote location, such as initiating an alert from the electronic device; the controller 16 being configured to use the detector to monitor the distance between the strap 10 and electronic device, and the controller 16 being configured to initiate the alert means 26a, 26b and/or signalling means to provide an audible or vibrating alert when the distance between the strap 10 and electronic device exceeds the predetermined threshold.

A shoulder-pad system includes various components, including an impact-plate assembly and one or more sub-layers. The shoulder-pad system may be substantially retained in an arrangement or configuration using one or more securing garments. An exemplary securing garment includes an upper-body garment that at least partially wraps over, and attaches to, the impact-plate assembly.
