Two fastener suspenders

Abstract

Clip-type fasteners for suspenders, particularly for pants (trousers, slacks, etc.) as well as suspenders with clip-type fasteners. The fasteners have a secure locking mechanism and have all of its components made of non-metallic materials, such as plastic, graphite, or composite materials. Preferably, the fasteners also have slots or rings for attachment to, and adjustment of, suspender straps. The suspender straps preferably have a plurality of tiny loop members along one entire side of the straps. Pieces of hook-type material are positioned on the straps in order to allow the length and fit of the suspender straps to be easily adjusted.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . Suspenders for wearing over the shoulders of a person for attachment to the waistband of the person's pants at two locations, the suspenders comprising:
 a first strap member and second strap member, each strap member adapted to be positioned over a shoulder of a wearer and having a first end and a second end and a first surface and a second surface.   said first surface of each of said first and second members having a plurality of loop members extending substantially over said first surface, said loop members being loops of a hook and loop type fastener material;   a hook-type member secured on said first surfaces of each of said first and second strap members adjacent said second ends;   said hook-type member having a plurality of hook members thereon, said hook members being hooks of a hook and loop type fastener material;   said second end of said first strap member being connected to a third strap member adjacent said first end of said second strap member; and   said second end of said second strap member being connected to a fourth strap member adjacent said first end of said first strap member;   fastener members positioned on said third and fourth strap members;   said first ends of each of said first and second strap members being connected to said third and fourth strap members, respectively, and being adjustable to adjust the length of said first and second strap members;   wherein said hook-type members on each of said first and second strap members are selectively secured to said loop members at any position along said first surfaces.   
     
     
         2 . The suspenders as described in  claim 1  wherein said fastener members are clip-type fastener members. 
     
     
         3 . The suspenders as described in  claim 1  wherein said first and second strap members are connected together at a position corresponding to the back of a wearer. 
     
     
         4 . Suspenders for wearing over the shoulder of a person for attachment to the waistband of the person's pants at two locations adjacent the hips of the wearer, the suspenders comprising:
 a first strap member and second strap member, each strap member adapted to be positioned over a shoulder of a wearer and having a first end and a second end and a first surface and second surface;   at least said first surface of each of said first and second members having a plurality of loop members extending substantially over said first surface, said loop members being loops of a hook and loop type fastener material;   at least one hook-type member secured on said first surfaces of each of said first and second strap members adjacent said second ends;   said hook-type member having a plurality of hook members thereon, said hook members being hooks of a hook and loop type fastener material;   said second end of said first strap member being connected to a third strap member adjacent said first end of said second strap member; and   said second end of said second strap member being connected to a fourth strap member adjacent said first end of said first strap member;   a first fastener member positioned adjacent one end of said third strap member and a second fastener member positioned adjacent one end of said fourth strap member;   said first ends of each of said first and second strap members being connected to said third and fourth strap member respectively and being adjustable to adjust the length of said first and second strap members;   wherein said hook-type members on each of said first and second strap members are selectively secured to said loop members at any position along said first surfaces;   wherein said first fastener member is adapted to attach both the first end of said first strap member and said second end of said second strap member to one location at a waistband of a person's pant; and   wherein said second fastener member is adapted to attach both the first end of said second strap member and the second end of said first strap member to a second location at a waistband of a person's pants.   
     
     
         5 . The suspenders as described in  claim 4  wherein said fastener members are clip-type fastener members.
