Single Strap Fastening System

Abstract

A single strap fastening system is provided that can selectively fasten close and/or adjust a wearable article. The system may comprise two-sided fabric strap comprised of a first connectable fabric operable to releasably attach to a second connectable fabric of a wearable article. The system may also comprise a wearable article comprised of the second connectable fabric operable to releasably attach to a first connectable fabric of the two-sided strap. The first connectable fabric of the single fastening strap may be releasably coupled when joined to the second connectable fabric of the wearable article, thus fastening, closing and/or adjusting the wearable article.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A single strap fastening system that selectively fastens, closes and/or adjusts a wearable article, the system comprising;
 a two-sided fabric strap; wherein the inward-facing side has a first connectable fabric operable to releasably attach to a second connectable fabric;   a wearable article comprised of a second connectable fabric operable to releasably attach to a first connectable fabric; wherein the second connectable fabric comprises ten percent or more of the surface area of the wearable article;   wherein the strap is releasably coupled to the wearable article when the first connectable fabric of the inward-facing side is joined to the second connectable fabric of the wearable article;   wherein the wearable article is larger than the strap.   
     
     
         2 . The fabric patch system of  claim 1 , wherein the wearable article is at least one of a hat, baseball cap, helmet, backpack, jacket, vest, pants, gloves, headband, bag, luggage, shoes. 
     
     
         3 . The single strap fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the second connectable fabric comprises ten percent or more of the surface area of the wearable article. 
     
     
         4 . The single strap fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first connectable fabric and the second connectable fabric is at least one of a hook fabric and a loop fabric. 
     
     
         5 . The connectable hook fabric of  claim 4  comprises a plastic composite material. 
     
     
         6 . The single strap fastening system wherein one end of the two-sided strap is fixed, e.g. bonded, sewed, bound to the wearable article;
 wherein the opposite end of the two-sided strap of  claim 1  has a first connectable fabric on its inward-facing side operable to releasably attach to a second connectable fabric of a wearable article.   
     
     
         7 . The single strap fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the two-sided strap is an independent article;
 wherein both ends of the two-sided strap has a first connectable fabric operable on its inward-facing side to releasably attach to a second connectable fabric of a wearable article.   
     
     
         8 . The single strap fastening system, wherein the two-sided strap is of any shape, e.g. triangle, half-circle, circle, crescent, star, etc.;
 wherein the inward-facing side has a first connectable fabric operable to releasable attach to a second connectable fabric of a wearable article of  claim 1 .   
     
     
         9 . The single strap fastening system of  claim 6 , wherein the two-sided strap is of any shape, e.g. triangle, half-circle, circle, crescent, star, etc.;
 wherein the inward-facing side has a first connectable fabric operable to releasable attach to a second connectable fabric of a wearable article.   
     
     
         10 . The single strap fastening system of  claim 7 , wherein the two-sided strap is of any shape, e.g. triangle, half-circle, circle, crescent, star, etc.;
 wherein the inward-facing side has a first connectable fabric operable to releasable attach to a second connectable fabric of a wearable article.   
     
     
         11 . The single strap fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the two-sided strap comprises an elastic fabric and/or material that has elastic qualities of compression and elongation;
 wherein the inward-facing side has a first connectable fabric operable to releasable attach to a second connectable fabric of a wearable article.   
     
     
         12 . The single strap fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the two-sided strap is embedded and/or concealed into the wearable article, e.g. a baseball cap sweatband;
 wherein one end of the two-sided strap is fixed, e.g. bonded, sewed, bound to the wearable article;   wherein the opposite end of the two-sided strap has a first connectable fabric on its inward-facing side operable to releasably attach to a second connectable fabric of a wearable article.   
     
     
         13 . The single strap fastening system of  claim 1 , wherein the two-sided strap comprises a flexible rubber, plastic, synthetic fabric or composite fabric material.
