Device and a method to protect trousers

Abstract

The current invention discloses a simple method and device to prevent trousers' hem sliding under the heels, no matter how long the legs are. The present invention discloses a unique way of using adhesive material, such as hook and loop fasteners (such as Velcro™) or magnetic material, to prevent legs of trousers or pants from getting caught under footwear. According to this invention adhesive material is applied on the back of the footwear and on the inner seams of the trousers. When the two parts of the adhesive material is attached together, the hem is locked to the shoe and it cannot slip under the heel. The invention according to this disclosure allows a method to attach the hems directly onto the shoe, without a need to have any separate parts. Moreover, once the parts of this invention are attached to the trousers and to the shoes there is no need to any adjustments or assemblies later on.

1 . A method to attach trousers' legs to back of a footwear to prevent slipping of the leg under footwear heel, said method comprising steps of:
 a) Providing hook and loop material having a hook member and a loop member,   b) Attaching one of the members onto back of the footwear and the other member onto inner seam of trousers; and   c) Attaching the loops of the loop member to the hooks of the hook member.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the hook and loop material is provided on a self adhesive tape. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the members are fastened to the footwear and to the inner seam of the trousers by applying heat on the members. 
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the member attached to the footwear back is covered with a detachable cover that is removed when the trouser leg is to be attached to the footwear. 
   
   
       5 . A method to attach trousers' legs to back of a footwear to prevent slipping of the leg under footwear heel, said method comprising steps of:
 a) Providing flexible magnetic material and a metal strip attachable to the magnetic material,   b) Attaching the magnetic material onto back of the footwear and the metal strip onto inner seam of trousers; and   c) Attaching the magnetic material to the metal strip.   
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the magnetic material and the metal strip are provided on a self adhesive tape. 
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the magnetic material and the metal strip are fastened to the footwear and to the inner seam of the trousers by applying heat. 
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the magnetic material attached to the footwear back is covered with a detachable cover that is removed when the trouser leg is to be attached to the footwear. 
   
   
       9 . A device to attach trousers' legs to back of footwear to prevent slipping of the leg under footwear heel, said device comprising:
 a) a piece of adhesive material fastened to back of a footwear,   b) a strip of material capable of attaching to the adhesive material, said strip being fastened to inner seam of trousers.   
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the adhesive material and the strip material are hook- and loop material. 
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the adhesive material is magnetic material and the strip is a metal strip. 
   
   
       12 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the attachable material is covered with a cover when not attached to the strip on the seam. 
   
   
       13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the cover contains ornaments, logos or advertisements.
