Cuff Loop Fastening Devices and Methods of Using

Abstract

A cuff loop fastening device can include a button section with a button having a first magnetic member extending therefrom, and a loop section with a second magnetic member having a polarity opposite that of the first magnetic member with a length of cord extending therefrom and forming a loop for engaging a shirt cuff button. In at least some embodiments, the cord is elastic. In operation, the button section is inserted through the shirt cuff buttonhole and is held in place by the button. In at least some embodiments, the loop section is attached to the shirt cuff button and then connected to the button section by the attraction of the first and second magnets.

         2 . The cuff loop fastening device of  claim 1  wherein said button has a closed button attachment hook extending downwardly therefrom; and wherein said first magnetic member has a closed first magnetic member attachment hook extending upwardly therefrom, wherein a link connects said closed button attachment hook and said closed first magnetic attachment hook. 
     
     
         3 . The cuff loop fastening device of  claim 1  wherein said second magnetic member has a closed second magnetic member attachment hook extending downwardly therefrom, wherein said length of cord extends through said closed second magnetic member attachment hook. 
     
     
         4 . The cuff loop fastening device of  claim 1 , wherein said length of cord is elastic. 
     
     
         5 . The cuff loop fastening device of  claim 1 , further comprising a compressible stud for forming a pair of loops in said length of cord. 
     
     
         6 . The cuff loop fastening device of  claim 1 , further comprising a T-bottom member extending from a bottom portion of said length of cord. 
     
     
         7 . A cuff loop fastening device comprising:
 (a) a button having a top decorative surface and a bottom surface having a closed button attachment hook extending downwardly therefrom;   (b) a first magnetic member having a closed first magnetic member attachment hook extending upwardly therefrom;   (c) a link interconnecting said closed button attachment hook and the closed first magnetic member attachment hook;   (d) a second magnetic member having a closed second magnetic member attachment hook extending downwardly therefrom, the second magnetic member having a polarity opposite that of said first magnetic member; and   (e) a length of cord extending through said closed second magnetic member attachment hook and forming a loop for engaging a shirt cuff button, wherein said length of cord is elastic;   (f) a compressible stud attached to said length of cord for forming a pair of loops in said length of cord; and   (g) a T-bottom member extending from a bottom portion of said length of cord.   
     
     
         8 . A cuff loop fastening device set comprising:
 (a) a button section comprising:
 (i) a button having a top decorative surface and a bottom surface; and 
 (ii) a first connection member, wherein said first connection member is attached to said button; 
   (b) a first loop section comprising:
 (i) a second connection member, wherein said second connection member is configured to connect to said first connection member; and 
 (ii) a first length of cord wherein said first length of cord is connected to said second connection member, wherein said first length of cord forms a loop for engaging a shirt cuff button; 
   (c) a second loop section comprising:
 (i) a third connection member, wherein said third connection member is configured to connect to said first connection member; 
 (ii) a second length of cord, wherein said second length of cord is connected to said third connection member; and 
 (iii) a T-bottom member extending from a bottom portion of said second length of cord. 
   
     
     
         9 . The cuff loop fastening device set of  claim 8  wherein said button has a closed button attachment hook extending downwardly therefrom; and wherein said first connection member has a closed first connection member attachment hook extending upwardly therefrom, wherein a link connects said closed button attachment hook and said closed first connection member attachment hook. 
     
     
         10 . The cuff loop fastening device set of  claim 8  wherein said second connection member has a closed second connection member attachment hook extending downwardly therefrom, wherein said first length of cord extends through said closed second connection member attachment hook. 
     
     
         11 . The cuff loop fastening device set of  claim 8 , wherein said first loop section further comprises:
 (iii) a compressible stud for forming a pair of loops in said first length of cord.   
     
     
         12 . The cuff loop fastening device set of  claim 8 , wherein said first connection member, said second connection member, and said third connection member are magnets. 
     
     
         13 . The cuff loop fastening device set of  claim 8 , wherein said first connection member, said second connection member, and said third connection member are snaps. 
     
     
         14 . The cuff loop fastening device of  claim 8 , wherein said first length of cord is elastic. 
     
     
         15 . The cuff loop fastening device set of  claim 8  wherein said first loop section further comprises
 (iii) a compressible stud for forming a pair of loops in said first length of cord, and 
 wherein said button has a closed button attachment hook extending downwardly therefrom; and wherein said first connection member has a closed first connection member attachment hook extending upwardly therefrom, wherein a link connects said closed button attachment hook and said closed first connection member attachment hook,
