Abstract: A shoulder strap organizer operative to secure the shoulder straps, either in the front or back of a garment, particularly a child's garment, in place, preventing their falling off the shoulders which results in loss of garment support. The shoulder strap organizer is provided with hook and pile or similar release-fastening material, to permit it to form two loops, which are fully adjustable around each of the shoulder straps. The body of the shoulder strap organizer is typically a nylon web material which can be washed when desired. It is a convenient aftermarket item which can be used with any garment that has shoulder straps. The preferred use position for a child is in the rear, making the child less aware of its presence and less likely to remove it. An adult user may wear it in the front where it is more easily affixed.

Hook-and-loop connector halves are located on the nonelastic strip and base of the V on the second elastic strip for adjustable and releasable securement.

Abstract: An improved body restraint comprising a vest body having a front panel and a pair of separable back panels. A first strap is connected to the lower edge of each back panel and extends transversely across the vest body and is received within a loop or slot in the other back panel. The ends of the first straps are adapted to be attached to an outside object, such as the side rails of a bed. Second straps are connected to the vest body at locations beneath each arm opening, and each second strap extends diagonally across the vest body and is adapted to be attached to the head rail of the bed. The body restraint will securely restrain a patient and yet the diagonally extending straps permit the patient to move from side-to-side without danger of release. During movement of the patient, tension is concentrated under the arms to eliminate any possibility of stress being concentrated on the neck of the patient.
