Expandable pouches combined with belt
The belt is shown broken away in
The broken lines showing the buckles, slides, and the stitch tacks and snap hooks at either end of the zipper fastener are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
The article in which the present design is embodied is a belt with two compact yet expandable pouches, each formed from a single piece of elastic fabric and having pleats in the rear. When empty, each pouch is preferably approximately the same width and thickness as the belt holding the pouches in place, and yet each pouch's width and thickness (and thus its internal volume) can expand up to 300–400% or more to hold larger items or a large number of small items.
Claims
I claim the ornamental design for the expandable pouches combined with belt, as shown and described.
