Suspender system and kit

Abstract

The present invention relates to a suspender system in which fastener members attached to suspender straps provide expeditious attachment to a corresponding attachment member attached to a garment. The attachment member can be a no-sew button stud, a sew-in button, a rivet, a ring, rod or cloth loop. The fastener member can be a suspender clip, or a plastic or metal garter grip. The suspender system can hold pants or trousers in just the right position all day and the “tuck around” sew-in or pinned-in attachments let the wearer tuck in their shirt if they choose. The attachment member can be an attachment ring. The fastener and/or the attachment member having a height of predetermined distance from a garment, such as pants, to allow a worn second garment, such as a shirt, to be tucked around the attachment members.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A suspender system comprising;
 a plurality of suspender straps,   a plurality of fastener members, each of said fastener members attached to a first end of a respective on of the suspender straps, and   a plurality of attachment members, each of said attachment members adapted to be attached to a first garment at a position below the top of the waistband, said attachment member adapted to allow a worn second garment to be placed over said attachment member,   wherein each of said fastener members can be removably received over worn second garment and coupled to a respective one of said attachment members.   
     
     
         2 . The suspender system of  claim 1  wherein said fastener member includes a coupling extension, said coupling extension having an extension opening and a coupling section below said opening, said attachment member being adapted to be received in said opening and slidably moved into said coupling section. 
     
     
         3 . The suspender system of  claim 2  wherein said attachment member includes a no-sew button, wherein said no-sew button is received in said opening and slidably moved into said coupling section. 
     
     
         4 . The suspender system of  claim 3  wherein said coupling section includes a coupling opening, said coupling opening being a smaller diameter than said coupling opening. 
     
     
         5 . The suspender system of  claim 4  wherein said no-sew button includes a female head and a male insert, the female head being a diameter larger than said coupling opening. 
     
     
         6 . The suspender system of  claim 5  wherein said female head is positioned adjacent an inner surface of said coupling section. 
     
     
         7 . The suspender system of  claim 5  wherein said female head is positioned adjacent an outer surface of said coupling section. 
     
     
         8 . The suspender system of  claim 2  wherein each of said fastener members includes a fastener ring, said fastener ring adapted for attaching said fastener member to one of said straps. 
     
     
         9 . The suspender system of  claim 1  comprising three suspender straps and further comprising a junction member, a first end of first and second of the suspender straps being attached to one edge of the junction member and a first end of a third of the suspender straps being attached to an opposite edge of the junction member. 
     
     
         10 . The suspender system of  claim 1  wherein the first and second of the suspender straps each include a buckle, a second end of the first and second suspender straps being inserted into said buckle, wherein said buckle can adjust a length of the first and second suspender straps. 
     
     
         11 . A kit comprising
 a plurality of suspender straps,   a plurality of fastener members, each of said fastener members attached to a first end of a respective on of the suspender straps, and   a plurality of attachment members, each of said attachment members adapted to be attached to a first garment at a position below the top of the waistband, said attachment member adapted to allow a worn second garment to be placed over said attachment member,   wherein each of said fastener members can be removably received over worn second garment and coupled to a respective one of said attachment members.   
     
     
         12 . The suspender system of  claim 11  wherein each of said fastener members is a clip, said clip includes a pair of clip members coupled to one another with a bias member, wherein said clip can be opened by pressing on said bias member to move said clips members away from one another and said clip can be closed by releasing said bias member to move said clip members toward one another. 
     
     
         13 . The suspender system of  claim 11  wherein each of said fastener members includes a fastener ring, said fastener ring adapted for attaching said fastener member to one of said straps. 
     
     
         14 . The suspender system of  claim 11  wherein said attachment member comprises a coupling ring and said coupling ring has a diameter for extending the predetermined distance and said clip is removably attached to said coupling ring. 
     
     
         15 . The suspender system of  claim 11  wherein said attachment member further comprises an attachment ring coupled or integral with said coupling ring, said coupling ring has a diameter D 1  which is larger than diameter of D 2  of said attachment ring, said attachment ring adapted to be attached to said inner surface of said waistband. 
     
     
         16 . The suspender system of  claim 11  wherein the diameter D 1  is in the range of about 0.50 to about 0.075 inches and the diameter D 2  is in the range of about 0.125 to about 0.25 inches. 
     
     
         17 . The suspender system of  claim 11  wherein said coupling ring and said attachment ring have a circular or elliptical shape. 
     
     
         18 . The suspender system of  claim 11  wherein said coupling ring has a circular shape and said attachment ring has an elliptical shape. 
     
     
         19 . The suspender system of  claim 11  wherein said attachment member includes an attachment rod which has length L 1  which is sufficient to removably attach to said fastener member. 
     
     
         20 . The suspender system of  claim 11  wherein a first attachment rod member is positioned at a first end of said attachment rod and a second attachment rod member is positioned at a second end of said attachment rod, said first attachment rod member and said second attachment rod member being adapted to be attached to the inner surface of said waistband.
