Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods, and software for value transfer between disparate systems. One such embodiment includes receiving a transfer request to transfer a value from a first account provider to an account maintained with a second account provider and including data identifying an individual or entity that initiated the transfer request. This method also includes identifying the second account provider based on data included in the transfer request and generating a request to transfer the value of the transfer request to the account in a format compatible with the second account provider. The method may then transmit the generated request to the second account provider.

A hook-and-eyelet retainer protects a brassiere hook-and-eyelet clasp from becoming detached in the laundry to prevent damage to the brassiere, other undergarments in the laundry and/or the laundry machine. A hook-and-eyelet retainer has a first and a second retainer portion that are coupled together by a hinge. The first and second retainer portions pivot about the hinge to receive a hook-and-eyelet clasp and wing band. The hook-and-eyelet retainer is then closed and a post on a first retainer portion extends through a closure aperture on a second retainer portion to secure the hook-and-eyelet retainer in a closed position. A plurality of teeth extends up from one or both of the retainer portions to grip onto the hook-and-eyelet clasp and/or the wing band. One or both of the planar retainer portions may be recessed to accommodate the thickness of the brassiere hook-and-eyelet clasp or clasp strap or hook-and-eyelet and wing band.

Brassiere comprising a pair of cups and a rear fastening band wherein the rear fastening band comprises two end pieces, each of which is attached to one of said cups and an intermediate piece positioned between said end pieces and which is attachable at its ends to said end pieces.

The intermediate piece comprises at its ends some fastening elements complementary to the fastening elements of the end pieces, this intermediate piece that occupies the user's back is made up of fancy elements.

A thin garment closure includes a male member with a bar having a ball on at least one end and a female member having a trough shaped complementary to the bar. The bar is positionable in the trough when the male and female members in a substantially transverse orientation, and when one member is rotated so that both members are substantially coplanar the closure is closed. The male and female members each have a flat surface which contacts the flat surface of the mating member when the closure is closed, enabling a thin and narrow closure. In an embodiment, the trough has sidewalls which guide the bar into position in the trough for improved manipulation of the closure. In another embodiment, a detent resists decoupling of the closure while allowing coupling over a range of insertion angles.

An ultra-slim fastener for a garment includes male and female parts engagable by inclining the male part while inserting a foot into a cavity of the female part, and pivoting the parts to a co-planar orientation. The female has a roof thickness, and the foot may be offset by at least the roof thickness. The male and female may include flanges which have a symmetrical appearance when engaged. The male and female may include a plurality of protrusions distributed throughout a weld region for welding the parts to a garment piece. Features of the fastener improve tensile strength, increase flexibility, and improve comfort.

A bra, a garment, an article of clothing, and a fastener for such items. A bra includes: two cups located at a front-side of the bra; and a fastener located at a back-side of the bra. The back-side of the bra has a first region and a second region. The fastener enables (A) attachment of the first region to the second region, and (B) detachment of the first region from the second region. The fastener includes: (I) a male member located in the first region of the back-side of the bra, and (II) a female member located in the second region of the back-side of the bra. The male member includes a single wide hook. The female member includes a set of multiple spaced-apart wide bridges, each bridge protruding outwardly and generally-perpendicularly relative to the second region of the back-side of the bra. Each bridge is generally perpendicular to the longest dimension of the back-side of the bra.

A ladies undergarment in the form of a body, comprising shaping cups, support elements (1), a length adjuster (10), connecting means (2, 3), where, as support elements, only vertical support elements (1) are used, which fasten to the upper and lower side parts of the shaping cups with the aid of connecting means (2, 3), and connecting means (2) consists of a closed portion, which is sewn into a vertical support element (1), and an open portion having an elongated G-shape.

A bra including a closure system, the closure system including a first layered fabric body, a second layered fabric body, a loop assembly secured to the first layered fabric body, and a hook assembly secured to the second layered fabric body. The hook assembly is configured to interface with the loop assembly to secure the first layered fabric body to the second layered fabric body, and the first layered fabric body includes a flexible supporting layer, where the flexible supporting layer is configured to provide rigidity to the second layered fabric body such that the second layered fabric body maintains a flat configuration when it is secured to the first layered fabric body.

An aftermarket bra strap ensemble has two adjustable straps, each having an unattached end, and a strap buckle on the other end, and two double straps, one passing through a loop of the strap buckle on the end of each of the two adjustable straps. The double straps also pass through an anchor loop at ends away from the strap buckles of the adjustable straps, and opposite ends of the double straps attach to separate anchor rings, one of which is adapted to hook to the other.

The present disclosure is directed to various embodiments of a quick adjust cord lock. The cord lock includes a base portion and a cap portion. The base portion includes a base outer protrusion and a base inner protrusion. The cap portion includes a cap outer protrusion and a cap inner protrusion. The base inner protrusion has a plurality of holes configured to receive a first cord and a second cord. A first pressure is applied to the first cord and the second cord between the cap outer protrusion and the base outer protrusion. A second pressure is applied to the first cord and the second cord by the cap inner protrusion.
