Slidable button on a monorail track for tightening and loosening of a garment
A device for adjusting the fit of a garment may include a monorail track with a plurality of rail teeth spaced along a length thereof; a rail carriage slidably engaged with the monorail track; and a button operatively attached to the rail carriage, wherein at least one of the rail carriage and the button includes a locking device to removably engage with the plurality of track teeth. The locking device may be a trigger post with a button tooth, an engagement pin, a pinch clamp, a leaf spring, or the like. Size adjustment of a garment may be accomplished by sliding the button to a desired position of the monorail track and locking the button into place with the locking device.

Button attachment by resilient gates trapping mechanism
A button assembly configured for fast button attachment onto a garment cloth. The assembly comprises a buttoning structure and a retaining structure. The buttoning structure includes a button attached to a spacer attached to a pole attached to a terminal element. The retaining structure comprises a trapping mechanism housed in an aperture with upper opening with a rim attached to a planar plate which is divided into resilient flaps by concentric slits. Attaching the buttoning structure to the garment cloth entails piercing the cloth by the terminal element and inserting it into the retaining structure while bending the flaps. Further insertion releases the flaps which unbend and trap the terminal element inside the retaining structure and preventing its attached button from detachment. Thereby, attaching the button onto the garment cloth. The terminal element could attain a hemispherical or cylindrical shapes. A replaceable ornamental cap fits snugly the button's top.

Instant No-Sew and Removable Fabric Fastener
An instant no-sew and removable fabric fastener is similar to a spring push-pin fabric fastener, and thus, the instant no-sew and removable fabric fastener includes a fastener socket and a fastener stud. However, the instant no-sew and removable fabric fastener is different than a standard spring push-pin fabric fastener by incorporating a rotational-type attachment mechanism and by being completely removable. The rotational-type attachment mechanism allows the fastener stud and the fastener socket to be deadlocked to each other. The fastener stud cannot be detached from the fastener socket even with a force until either the fastener socket or the fastener stud is rotated 90 degrees. After the fastener socket or the fastener is rotated 90 degrees, the fastener stud can be detached from the fastener socket. Additionally, this means the instant no-sew and removable fabric fastener does not permanently attach to fabric and thus, can be removed when desired.

Removable fastener for a loop shank button
An improved one-piece fastener for retaining a loop shank button in the buttonhole of a garment. The fastener is in the form of a planar disk having a solid margin and a central portion within the margin that is notched to define a pair of mutually parallel deflectable legs sized and spaced to permit their partial insertion through the loop shank of the button. The legs of the fastener are contoured to define a detent position in which the loop shank seats to securely attach the fastener to the loop shank and thereby retain the loop shank button in the buttonhole of the garment. One longitudinal end of the fastener margin is provided with an extension or tab by which a user can conveniently grasp the fastener during its installation and removal.

BUTTONS, BEADS, AND REMOVABLE CLIPS BEARING BRAILLE INDICIA FOR FABRIC
A clip bearing Braille indicia removably attachable to fabric comprises a body member having a face bearing Braille indicia and a clipping member configured to removably clip the body member to the fabric with the Braille indicia facing outwardly. A button bearing Braille indicia for attachment to fabric includes a body having a face bearing Braille indicia and attachment means for facilitating attachment of the body of the button to the fabric with the Braille indicia facing outwardly. A bead bearing Braille indicia for attachment to an article using thread comprises a body having a face bearing Braille indicia and a passage, through the body beneath the face, for receiving the thread.
TEMPORARY WEARABLE MODIFICATION SYSTEM FOR GARMENTS
A garment modification system comprising at least one garment modification device, comprising a primary face, a connecting mechanism, a transitioning section, an adjustable arm, and a joint connecting the transitioning section and the adjustable arm. The adjustable arm is operable to be positionable in a first orientation such that a portion of a garment is retained by the garment modification system and in a second orientation where the portion of the garment is not retained by the garment modification system. The connecting mechanism is operable to couple to a connecting mechanism of an adjacent garment modification device.
