A button assembly includes a top assembly, an attachment body, and a resilient member. The top assembly includes a cap and a locking ring defining a receiving area, and the locking ring includes a top protrusion extending into the receiving area. The attachment body includes a locking feature that includes a body protrusion and a notched portion. The resilient member is located between the cap and the attachment body such that the cap is movable toward the attachment body. In some examples, the top assembly is selectively engageable with the attachment body by aligning the top protrusion of the locking ring with the notched portion of the locking feature, pushing the top assembly toward the attachment body, and rotating the top assembly relative to the attachment body such that the top protrusion of the locking ring is aligned with the body protrusion of the locking feature.

The present invention is directed to apparel constriction systems that avoid both unraveling and the sag effect for articles of apparel having two sides that overlap for closure of the article of apparel, through the use of more customized constriction. In particular, the present invention offers supplemental apparel constriction anchor systems suitable for customized constriction of an article of apparel having two sides that overlap for closure of the article of apparel comprising at least one constriction clasp and one constriction anchor that are positioned on opposite sides of the apparel and that reversibly couple in locked position for customized constriction of the article of apparel. Such systems afford customized constriction that prevents constriction unraveling and the resulting sag effect.

A garment includes a torso portion having a neck opening and is configured to be supported by shoulders of a wearer. A hood is coupled to a back of the torso portion about the neck opening and is configured to fit on a head of the wearer in a hood up position. A first fastener is supported by a back of the hood and is spaced a first distance from the neck opening. A second fastener is supported by a back of the torso portion and is spaced a second distance from the neck opening to releasably secure the hood via engagement with the first fastener in a hood down position.

The improved button is of the type having: a metal backer, the backer carrying one of a safety pin and a magnetic clasp; and an overlay disposed upon and in gripping relation to the backer. The improvement includes: a chip disposed between the overlay and the backer, the chip being selected from the group consisting of Near Field Communication tag and RFID chip; and a layer of blocker disposed between the chip and the backer, the layer being adapted to permit operation of the chip.

Attachment systems for attaching a wearable electronic device to a user including a sizing band and a retaining band are disclosed. The retaining band can include a plug assembly (e.g., actuatable button, retractable arms, etc.) configured to be inserted in a selected eyelet of the sizing band. Upon insertion into the eyelet, the plug assembly can resist unintended separation of the sizing and retaining band by increasing its outer dimension. Release can be achieved by allowing the user to decrease the outer dimension of the plug assembly so that removal from the selected eyelet is easily achieved.

A hand fixation band includes a fastening band, a sliding arm and a damping element. The fastening band has a main portion, and a connecting portion protruded outward from one end of the main portion. A bottom surface of the connecting portion is defined as a contact surface. The sliding arm is connected with the fastening band. One end of the sliding arm disposed under the connecting portion is recessed downward to form an accommodating groove. A top of a peripheral wall of the accommodating groove is inclined outward from bottom to top to form a first inclined surface. The damping element is disposed in the accommodating groove and contacts with the contact surface. A periphery of a bottom surface of the damping element is inclined outward from bottom to top to form a second inclined surface. The first inclined surface contacts with the second inclined surface.
