Abstract

The disclosure provides a system for engaging and keeping an individual's garment confined. The device comprises at least one engagement clip comprising an interior and exterior surface, a channel extending between the interior surface and exterior surface, at least one anchor positionable within the engagement clip to define a space between the engagement clip and anchor for engaging the garment, and a belt ledge retainer to at least partially retain a belt in close proximity to the engagement clip. The disclosure further provides a system including ferromagnetic elements that define an additional space adapted to engage a belt, garment, or combination thereof. A security belt may also be used in conjunction with the system to allow for even alignment of the individual engagement clips. The disclosure further provides for the utilization of the system in relation with hand gun holsters, pockets, electronic device holders, eye glass cases, and body armor.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for engaging and keeping an individual's garment in a confined state, comprising:
 at least one engagement clip comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface, wherein said at least one engagement clip further comprises a channel extending between said interior surface and said exterior surface of said engagement clip;   at least one anchor, wherein a portion of said at least one anchor being positionable within said at least one engagement clip for defining a space between said engagement clip and said anchor for engaging said individual's garment;   and   a belt ledge retainer configured to at least partially retain a belt in close proximity to said engagement clip.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a housing, wherein the housing comprises an interior surface and an exterior surface. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2  wherein said interior surface of said housing is textured. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2  wherein said exterior surface of said housing is textured. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising at least one ferromagnetic element that defines an additional space adapted to engage a belt, garment, or combination thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5  wherein said at least one ferromagnetic element is adjacent to said exterior surface of said engagement clip. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 5  wherein said at least one ferromagnetic element is removably attached to said system. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a belt with a length sufficient to circumnavigate said individual. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8  wherein said belt comprises at least one securing wire. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8  wherein said belt comprises at least one C-wire. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said engagement clip is of a flexible material. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said exterior surface of said engagement clip is textured. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said interior surface of said engagement clip is textured. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the diameter of said anchor is smaller in diameter than said interior surface of said engagement clip. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said belt ledge retainer is an elongated ridge. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said belt ledge retainer is at least one ferromagnetic element. 
     
     
         17 . A system for engaging and keeping an individual's garment in a confined state, comprising:
 at least one engagement clip comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface, wherein said at least one engagement clip further comprises a channel extending between said interior surface and said exterior surface of said engagement clip, further wherein said channel extends less than the entire length of said at least one engagement clip;   and   at least one anchor, wherein a portion of said at least one anchor being positionable within said at least one engagement clip for defining a space between said engagement clip and said anchor for engaging said individual's garment.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17  wherein at least one engagement clip is associated with a first member of an electronic device and eyeglass holder and further wherein at least one anchor is associated with a second member of an electronic device and eyeglass holder. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 17  wherein at least one engagement clip is associated with a first member of a gun holster and further wherein at least one anchor is associated with a second member of a gun holster. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 17  wherein at least one engagement clip and at least one anchor is associated with a pocket. 
     
     
         21 . The system of  claim 17  wherein at least one engagement clip is associated with a first member of an element of body armor and further wherein at least one anchor is associated with a second member of an element of body armor. 
     
     
         22 . A system for engaging and keeping an individual's garment in a confined state, comprising:
 an engagement clip comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface, wherein said interior surface of said engagement clip is textured to allow said engagement clip to further engage a garment and further wherein the engagement clip comprises a channel extending between said interior surface of said engagement clip and said exterior surface of said engagement clip;   at least one anchor, wherein a portion of said at least one anchor being positionable within said at least one engagement clip for defining a space between said engagement clip and said anchor for engaging said individual's garment and further wherein said anchor comprises a diameter smaller than the diameter of said interior surface of said engagement clip;   a belt ledge retainer comprising an elongated ridge and configured to at least partially retain a belt in close proximity to said engagement clip;   at least one ferromagnetic element adjacent to said exterior surface of said engagement clip, wherein said at least one ferromagnetic element defines an additional space adapted to engage a belt, garment, or combination thereof and further wherein at least one of said at least one ferromagnetic element is removably attached to said engagement clip;   a housing comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface;   and   a belt with a length sufficient to circumnavigate said individual.
