  • Patent number: 5542156
    Abstract: A restraining device for trouser legs provides ornamentation and includes a central elastic strap to which link chains are affixed at each end. Folded elastic fabric end segments are attached at opposite ends of the link chains and a conventional snap fastener is securely affixed to the elastic end segments. Mating snap fasteners are also affixed interiorly to the inside and outside of each trouser leg to engage the fasteners of the end segments. The restraining device is placed across the sole or bottom of a boot or shoe so when the wearer's knee is bent, and the pant legs moves up the wearer's leg as a result, the restraining device resiliently urges the leg of the trousers to return to its fully extended or normal position against the boot or shoe. Decorative charms are joined to excess lengths of the chains as desired by the wearer.
