Adjustable collar stay device

Abstract

An adjustable collar stay device, including a body structure including a length extensible portion coupled to a width extensible portion. The length extensible portion includes a sleeve structure disposed about a first track structure, wherein the sleeve structure is configured to translate with respect to the first track structure, thereby extending the length of the length extensible portion. The width extensible portion includes a first body member disposed about a second track structure, wherein the second track structure is configured to translate with respect to the first body member, thereby extending the width of the width extensible portion. The width extensible portion further includes a second body member coupled to the second track structure.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An adjustable collar stay device, comprising:

         2 . The adjustable collar stay device of  claim 1 , wherein the length extensible portion comprises a sleeve structure disposed about a first track structure, wherein the sleeve structure is configured to translate with respect to the first track structure, thereby extending the length of the length extensible portion. 
     
     
         3 . The adjustable collar stay device of  claim 2 , wherein the first track structure comprises a peg structure and the sleeve structure defines a plurality of detent holes along its length configured to receive and retain the peg structure in various degrees of extension of the length extensible portion. 
     
     
         4 . The adjustable collar stay device of  claim 1 , wherein the width extensible portion comprises a first body member disposed about a second track structure, wherein the second track structure is configured to translate with respect to the first body member, thereby extending the width of the width extensible portion. 
     
     
         5 . The adjustable collar stay device of  claim 4 , wherein the second track structure comprises a peg structure and the first body member defines a plurality of detent holes along its width configured to receive and retain the peg structure in various degrees of extension of the width extensible portion. 
     
     
         6 . The adjustable collar stay device of  claim 4 , wherein the width extensible portion further comprises a second body member coupled to the second track structure. 
     
     
         7 . The adjustable collar stay device of  claim 6 , wherein the first body member and the second body member comprise complimentary angled portions that provide the overall width extensible portion with a pointed tip. 
     
     
         8 . The adjustable collar stay device of  claim 1 , wherein the length extensible portion and the width extensible portion comprise a unitary structure. 
     
     
         9 . A method for manufacturing an adjustable collar stay device, comprising:
 providing a body structure comprising a length extensible portion coupled to a width extensible portion.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the length extensible portion comprises a sleeve structure disposed about a first track structure, wherein the sleeve structure is configured to translate with respect to the first track structure, thereby extending the length of the length extensible portion. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first track structure comprises a peg structure and the sleeve structure defines a plurality of detent holes along its length configured to receive and retain the peg structure in various degrees of extension of the length extensible portion. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the width extensible portion comprises a first body member disposed about a second track structure, wherein the second track structure is configured to translate with respect to the first body member, thereby extending the width of the width extensible portion. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the second track structure comprises a peg structure and the first body member defines a plurality of detent holes along its width configured to receive and retain the peg structure in various degrees of extension of the width extensible portion. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the width extensible portion further comprises a second body member coupled to the second track structure. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the first body member and the second body member comprise complimentary angled portions that provide the overall width extensible portion with a pointed tip. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the length extensible portion and the width extensible portion comprise a unitary structure. 
     
     
         17 . A method of using an adjustable collar stay device, comprising:
 adjusting one or more of a length and a width of a body structure of an adjustable collar stay device comprising a length extensible portion coupled to a width extensible portion; and   disposing the adjustable collar stay device in a collar pocket of a collar of a shirt.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the length extensible portion comprises a sleeve structure disposed about a first track structure, wherein the sleeve structure is configured to translate with respect to the first track structure, thereby extending the length of the length extensible portion, and wherein the first track structure comprises a peg structure and the sleeve structure defines a plurality of detent holes along its length configured to receive and retain the peg structure in various degrees of extension of the length extensible portion. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the width extensible portion comprises a first body member disposed about a second track structure, wherein the second track structure is configured to translate with respect to the first body member, thereby extending the width of the width extensible portion, and wherein the second track structure comprises a peg structure and the first body member defines a plurality of detent holes along its width configured to receive and retain the peg structure in various degrees of extension of the width extensible portion. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the width extensible portion further comprises a second body member coupled to the second track structure, and wherein the first body member and the second body member comprise complimentary angled portions that provide the overall width extensible portion with a pointed tip.
