Abstract: A garment strap retainer for use in retaining a strap of one piece of garment in a relatively fixed position with respect to another piece of garment and includes a first resilient member having a first end, an intermediate portion and a second end, a second resilient member having a first end, an intermediate portion and a second end, wherein the second resilient member is disposed adjacent the first resilient member such that the first ends of the resilient members are disposed adjacent one another in a relatively fixed manner and have a first retention contact point formed therebetween, the intermediate portions are movably disposed adjacent one another and the second ends are movably disposed adjacent one another and have a second retention contact point formed therebetween and wherein the second ends may be forcibly displaced from one another in a manner to break the retention contact point and to permit the strap to be positioned between the intermediate portions and upon replacement of the second ends

Abstract: Apparatus mounting to the flat of the top blade of a scissors or like cutting device, intermediate its ends, and forming an assembly thereof in use, comprises a holder having a generally oblong substantially block-like configuration one surface portion of which provides its bottom and correspondingly its base as it seats to the aforementioned flat and projects therefrom in a perpendicularly projected relation thereto. This base is provided with means causing it to adhere to said flat. A second surface portion of this holder is distinguished by an inwardly directed slit which accommodates and defines a grip portion of the holder which receives, accommodates and retains a portion of a slide gage rule or its equivalent to establish the rule in a perpendicularly projected relation to that flat to which the holder seats.
