The disclosure concerns an inner duty belt and related system. The inner duty belt has an inner side and an outer side, and includes a waist portion having a first touch fastener coupled to the outer side, an attachment portion having a connecting element configured to engage with the waist portion, and a flexible portion disposed between the waist portion and the attachment portion. The flexible portion is configured to fold upon convergence of the waist and attachment portions. The flexible portion of the inner duty belt allows the inner duty belt to easily increase and decrease in circumference while engaged with an outer duty belt.

The invention encompasses devices and methods that at least partially entrap the droplets and aerosols from a person undergoing an aerosol/droplet-generating procedure, thereby reducing a heath care worker's direct exposure to such health hazards. The device includes a planar cover structure impermeable to aerosols, droplets, fluids and gas. The planar cover structure providing a barrier between a health care worker and the body cavity or orifice of a patient. A hollow tubular extension forming an opening on the planar cover structure and the opening is configured to he positioned approximately on top of the body cavity or orifice of the patient. The opening configured to be reversibly closed via a closure mechanism.

A bottom clothing, in particular for the practice of tennis, including a waist part formed by one or several panels and including an upper end delimiting a waist opening, and a lower end delimiting at least one opening for the passage the user's legs, and a pocket formed by at least one upper panel mounted on the waist part and covering a portion of the waist part, the pocket being accessible through an opening delimited by the free edge of the at least one upper panel. The pocket opening extends substantially parallel to the waist opening, and is oriented towards the lower end of the waist part. The at least one upper panel and the waist part portion covered by the at least one upper panel are made of compressive materials and have an elasticity, particularly a 50% elongation force, which is different.

A garment with safety features is described. The garment includes a covering configured to cover at least a portion of a wearer. The covering extends between a first location and a second location spaced apart from the first location. The garment includes a flexible panel with the covering overlaying the flexible panel. The flexible panel is attached to the covering at the first location and the second location. The covering comprises excess material between the first location and the second location, the excess material being configured to accommodate stretching of the flexible panel.

Adjustable belt loop fastening devices and associated methods of using the same to extend between two or more belt loops on a garment and to selectively lessen the distance there between the belt loops to secure the waistline of a garment to a wearer while concurrently minimizing the force and/or pressure applied to the wearer's abdominal region, especially for wearer's having chronic diseases and/or illnesses (e.g., Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, etc.) that frequently result in increased abdominal sensitivity and tenderness.

A dynamically expandable rigid waistband system includes one or more rigid belt portions coupled to an expandable and adjustable waistband portion. The ends of one or more rigid belt portions are movably coupled to form a dynamically adjustable rigid belt ring. The dynamically adjustable rigid belt ring can expand or contract as the movably coupled ends of the one or more rigid belt portions move relative to each other by greater or smaller amounts. The dynamically adjustable rigid belt ring is then coupled to the expandable and adjustable waistband portion so that when the expandable and adjustable waistband portion expands or contracts, the dynamically adjustable rigid belt ring similarly expands or contracts to provide the comfort, range of motion, and adaptability of an expandable and adjustable waistband as well as a rigid structure for attaching devices safely and securely to the waistband.

A garment cover for an adjustment fit bottom including apparatus, systems, and methods including an adjustment fit band secured by an adjustment fit attachment along the adjustment fit band. The adjustment fit attachment may be covered by a garment cover.

An article of clothing, the article of clothing including a fabric. The fabric defines a waistband portion having an interior. The fabric also defines a base fabric panel. Additionally, the article of clothing includes an elastic layer. The interior of the waistband faces the elastic layer. Moreover, the interior of the waistband is defined by one or more folds forming a border between the base fabric panel and the waistband. The one or more folds include an initial bottom fold and a final bottom fold of the fabric. The one or more folds further include a top fold at a top edge of the waistband. The waistband is attached to the elastic layer through the initial bottom fold and the top fold. Additionally, an interior of the final bottom fold and the interior of the top fold are common to the interior of the waistband.
