The four color waistbelt may comprise a strap, a buckle, and a twist coupling. The four color waistbelt may be a belt that may be reconfigured to display any one of four colors. In a first configuration, the strap may be folded in half to reveal two initial colors on opposing sides of the strap. The belt may display one side of the strap as a first color and may be reversed to display the opposite side of the strap as a second color. In a second configuration, the strap may be folded in half in the opposite direction to reveal two additional colors on the opposing sides of the strap. The belt may display one side of the strap as a third color and may be reversed to display the opposite side of the strap as a fourth color.

A fastener connecting two materials, with a first material having a strap aperture. A second material had an edge, and a strap extending past the edge toward the first material. The strap has a top and bottom side affixing mechanisms. The second material has a second material affixing mechanism and a hinged material panel disposed proximate the second material affixing mechanism comprising a hinged panel affixing mechanism. The fastener has a fastened where the strap passes through the strap aperture, reverse back upon itself and passes the edge. The bottom side affixing mechanism is affixed to the second material affixing mechanism; and the top side affixing mechanism is affixed to the hinged panel affixing mechanism. The strap is interposed between both the second material affixing mechanism and the hinged panel affixing mechanism resulting in a secure, protected independent double-sided material fastener which can be engaged and disengaged repeatedly and adjusted.

A belt with knob for adjustable elasticity is disclosed, including a belt body. The belt body includes a support part and fixing belts connected to both sides of the support part, the support part is configured to be connected with a plurality of adjusting belts, and the adjusting belts are arranged symmetrically along a center of the support part to the both sides. Two fixing belts are configured with adjusting knobs, the adjusting knobs are configured with elastic strings, and the adjusting knobs are connected with the adjusting belts of corresponding sides by linkage of the elastic strings. The belt of the present disclosure can improve effects of tightening and pulling, and thereby achieving adjusting elasticity effect. Moreover, due to the adjusting knobs are one-way adjusting knobs, which can effectively prevent human body muscles from contracting and expanding action influencing an optimal adjustment of the belt elasticity.

Described herein are examples of restraining bands for footed portions of children's clothing, such as footed pajamas, the restraining bands having a rectangular geometry with a horizontal length and a vertical height, wherein the horizontal length of the restraining band is greater than the vertical height of the restraining band. The restraining band includes a front side and a back side. The restraining band further includes a body section prepared from an elastic material. The body section further includes a front side fastening section, with a horizontal length greater than the vertical height of the front side fastening section. Additionally, the restraining band includes a sheath configured to cover the body section.

An adjustment device includes a housing supporting a rotatable spool that is operably coupled to a tension line. The spool is configured to rotate about a first axis in a first direction to wind the tension line around the spool and is configured to rotate about the first axis in a second direction opposite the first rotational direction to unwind the at least one tension line from the spool. The device includes a lever pivotally coupled to the housing and configured to rotate about a second axis. The lever is selectively coupled to the spool to drive rotation of the spool in the first direction. The device also includes a release mechanism that is configured to selectively release the spool such that the spool is free to rotate in either the first or second direction in response to manual forces applied to the release mechanism.

The present invention relates to a belt with a rechargeable battery comprising: a buckle housing that contains the at least one rechargeable battery; wherein the buckle housing has an adjustment mechanism to adjust length of at least one belt member extending from the buckle housing and wherein the at least one rechargeable battery is connected to or connectable to a charging cable for connecting to an electrical device to be charged or for connection to a power supply to charge the rechargeable battery.

A cord lock includes various components used to slidably adjust a cord length, such as one or more housing components that releasably clamp around the cord. In one aspect, the cord lock includes an arrangement of magnets that bias the cord-lock housing components away from one another, in order to secure the cord between the housing components. The housing components can be pressed towards one another to slidably adjust the cord. In a further aspect, the cord lock may also include a magnetized excess-cord retainer that attaches to a portion of the cord and that releasably attaches to the cord lock in order to help gather excess cord pulled through the cord lock.
