Abstract: A metal-less waist belt includes a belt member integrally made to have an elongated belt strap and a fastening arrangement. The elongated belt strap has a first end portion, a second end portion and a belt body portion integrally extended between the first end portion and the second end portion. The fastening arrangement has at least two locking holes spacedly and intervally formed at the first end portion of the belt strap and a locking and alignment mechanism which is integrally formed at the second end portion of the belt strap and configured to lock with the at least two locking holes such that the first end portion is locked and aligned with the second end portion to form a fastening loop with a predetermined circumferential length. The metal-less waist belt has no metal component and is configured to be able to wear without taking off during the security test and allow the wearer to take off and to wear and fasten with one hand operation.

Abstract: One possible embodiment of the invention could be a wader retention system comprising of a front leg securing portion and a back leg securing portion, the front leg securing portion attaches to an interior wall of a wader; the back leg securing portion comprises a belt, the belt having two ends, a first end permanently connects to the first leg securing portion while a second end adjustably and reversibly connects to the front leg securing portion to allow the two portions to form a leg channel through which at least a portion of an operator's leg and foot may be reversibly pass though when inserted into the wader; wherein the placement of the belt upon the front leg securing portion adjusts the circumference of the leg channel to allow the portions to reversibly and securely envelope a leg of an operator as located within the leg channel.

Abstract: An article of jewelry attaches to a garment which has a belt loop and a fly closure. The article includes a fly closure fastener adapted to be secured to the fly closure of the garment, a belt loop fastener having an opening and adapted to be positioned over the belt loop of the garment, a first elongate flexible member connecting the fly closure fastener and the belt loop fastener together, and a second elongate flexible member connecting an ornamental body or pouch to the belt loop fastener. The fly closure fastener is typically a closed loop, and may have an openable portion. The belt loop fastener may have a flat base portion and depending branches. In addition, the branches may converge to define a narrower opening to secure the fastener to the belt loop. The elongate flexible members may be provided by chains or strands.

Abstract: A leg ornamentation device including an upper strap adapted to form an upper loop when worn by a user. Three upper male fasteners on the front face of the upper strap are capable of securing the upper loop around the leg below the knee by coupling with an upper female fastener on the rear face of the upper strap adjacent the second edge of the upper strap. A lower strap adapted to form a lower loop when worn by a user. Three lower male fasteners on the front face of the lower strap are capable of securing the lower loop around an ankle of the leg by coupling with a lower female fastener on the rear face of the lower strap adjacent the second edge of the lower strap. A vertical connecting strap that extends between the upper and lower strap and has a top looped portion capable of receipt therethrough the upper strap and a bottom looped portion capable of receipt therethrough the lower strap and a middle portion therebetween.

Abstract: An elastic (1) belt with a buckle (2) and having an adjustment slide (3) for waist size adjustment and "Race Number Attachment System" (4 and 5) which consists of 2 small dangling elastic pieces which are stitched (7B and 7C) at one end to the belt. These 2 dangling elastic pieces (4) are fed through the 2 top holes in a race number indicator sign. The 2 dangling elastics (4) are long enough to accept a variety of different size race numbers. The number is held in place and adjustment made using 2 cord locks (5A and 5B).

Abstract: As is well-known in the prior art, flexible elongate rope-like tethers have a leadward-end attached to a leadwardly-impelled aquamarine equipment (e.g. surfboard, towed water-ski, etc.) and having a trailward-end securely attached to the towed operator (e.g. a surfboarder, a water-skier, etc.). It is also well known in the prior art that the aquamarine's tethered operator might find himself/herself in a visually discernible perilous situation and wherein the elongate tether should be disengaged from the towing aquamarine device. Accordingly, the present invention provides a vertical-pin type releasably-lockable device that has the required secure attachment to the operator's body, but wherein the operator can manually vertically withdraw the vertical-pin portion of a releasable-lockable device to quickly withdraw himself/herself from the leadwardly tethered aquamarine equipment whenever the operator somehow discerns a perilous condition.

Abstract: An elastic band comprising a plurality of spaced elastic members and a pair of flexible sheet materials on opposed sides of the elastic members, the elastic members being secured in a stretched position to each of said flexible sheet materials.

Abstract: A garter belt for athletes has a stretchable band extending about the body with its free ends meeting at the front in a shallow upward V. Four straps depend from the forward portion of the band located in pairs on opposite sides of the free end junction. The four straps are each adjustable as to length and there is a fastener on each strap.
