An apparatus including a belt; and a flap; wherein the flap is configured to be attached to the belt so that the flap covers a rear end of a person, when the belt is worn around a waist of the person. The apparatus may further include a first pouch, a second pouch, and a washcloth configured to be attached and detached to the belt so that a majority of the flap can be seen when the first pouch, the second pouch, and the washcloth are attached to the belt; and wherein an inner chamber of the first pouch and the second pouch can be accessed while the first pouch and the second pouch are attached to the belt. A method may include attaching a flap to a belt so that the flap covers a rear end of a person, when the belt is worn around a waist of the person.

In various example embodiments, devices, systems, and methods for a waist measuring belt are provided. An example waist measuring belt is made up of a belt buckle frame with attachments for a belt strap. The belt further includes a position measuring module coupled to the belt buckle frame that measures an attachment position of a second end of the belt strap to the belt buckle frame. The belt also includes a tension measuring module coupled to the belt buckle frame that measures a tension through the belt buckle frame and the belt strap. A memory and a wireless communication module attached to the belt may be used to store measurements and communicate with a mobile device or server. In various embodiments, estimated user waist sizes over time using measured values and belt-specific data may be used to estimate a user's waist size and generate a waist size history.

A belt apparatus is configured to support the trousers worn by a person and to include a number of airbags that are deployable in a falling event to protect the person from bone breakages. The belt apparatus includes a flexible belt element and a fastener that appear and function in much the same way as an ordinary trouser belt, i.e., fitting through belt loops in trousers and being fastenable to itself to support the pair of trousers at the waist of the user. Despite the ordinary appearance of the belt apparatus, it includes one or more airbags internal thereto whose expansion is controlled by a control apparatus. Responsive to a falling event in a particular direction with respect to the user, 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 user.

A utility belt is disclosed. The utility belt comprises a belt track, a ball bearing assembly, and an extender assembly. The belt track includes a first belt section having a first male locking mechanism and a first female locking mechanism, and a second belt section having a second male locking mechanism and a second female locking mechanism. The first male locking mechanism connects to the second female locking mechanism. The second male locking mechanism connects to the first female locking mechanism. The first belt section and the second belt section each comprises an outer sheath and an inner tube. The inner tube includes a plurality of C-shaped rings. The ball bearing assembly has a ball bearing and a joint. The ball bearing rotates about the belt track. An extender assembly is coupled to the belt track and includes at least one connector and at least one spacer.

Disclosed is a quick release tool belt for the waist of a user, which includes a support strap, a release band with belt teeth on a first end and a binding with a release mechanism on the second end and slidably coupled to the release band. The binding has a base, a release rotationally attached to the base with a tooth lock, a tooth coupling rotationally attached to the base and engaged with the release and the release band, and a lever rotationally attached to the release and engaged with the release band with a tightening tooth. When the release is in the engaged position the tooth coupling and the lever are engaged with the release band and when the release is in the release position, the tooth coupling is operably engaged with the release and the tooth coupling and the lever are disengaged with the release band.

A hand warmer with viewing window includes an insulated hand warmer with a viewing window, a protective cover flap, and a sliding viewing surface of polycarbonate or acrylic plastic the user opens to remove prevent condensation.

A belt has a strap. A detachable buckle is attached to a first end of the strap. The detachable buckle has a base. A cutout is formed on a front surface of the base. A removable is faceplate inserted and held within the cutout. A ratchet mechanism secures a second end of the strap within the detachable buckle.

An expandable semirigid cummerbund for removable attaching to an object, such as tactical or outdoor equipment, to be carried in a manner that secures the object to a wearer's waist, the cummerbund comprising two segments wherein each segment comprises: an attachment member having a first side panel and an opposite second side panel that is connected to the first side panel to define a pocket between said side panels with an open end and an opposite closed end; a semirigid belt portion with an end slidably received within the pocket; an elastic member connecting the enclosed end of the belt to the closed end of the pocket and that expands in response to a pulling force on the belt portion to permit partial extraction of the end of the belt portion from the pocket, and to contract on withdrawal of the pulling force to pull the end back into the pocket; and a first connector on an outward facing surface of the first side panel operable to removably connect the attachment member to the object.

A garment with an integrated belt. The garment includes a top bottom, front, a first side portion, second side, and rear portions. The belt is attached to the garment and includes: a belt member having front, first rear, and second rear portions, and a belt fastener connected to the first rear portion of the belt member. The front portion of the belt member is attached to at least one of the front portion, first side portion and second side portion, of the garment, at one or more attachment regions, such that the front portion of the belt member is unable to move relative to the garment. In a fastened configuration, the belt fastener connects the first rear portion of the belt member to the second rear portion of the belt member, and the belt fastener is located adjacent to the rear portion of the garment.
