System for securing a load to a garment

Abstract

A system for securing a load to a garment is disclosed, including an internal belt built into a garment. A holster is configured to be attached to the internal belt and a tab is provided which is accessible from outside of the garment to permit the user to selectively tighten the holster. The internal belt is disposed within a sleeve positioned within the interior of the garment.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for securing a load to a garment, comprising:
 an internal belt built into a garment;   a holster configured to be attached to the internal belt; and   a tab accessible from outside of the garment, the tab to tighten the belt which secures the holster.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the garment is an overall. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the garment is a coverall. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the tab is a pull tab to permit the user to selectively tighten the belt. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising an external segment configured to open or close via a clasp to permit the holster to releasably engage with the internal belt. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the internal belt is at least partially contained within a sleeve positioned inside the garment. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a discontinuous sleeve disposed within the garment and which houses the internal belt. 
     
     
         8 . A system for securing a load to a garment, comprising:
 a garment;   at least one inner sleeve disposed within the garment;   an internal belt having a first end and a second end, the internal belt being at least partially disposed within the at least one sleeve;   at least one clasp connected to the first end, and a portion of the internal belt in mechanical communication with the clasp; and   wherein the second end is accessible from outside of the garment to tighten the belt.   
     
     
         9 . A system as in  claim 8 , wherein the at least one sleeve is a plurality of sleeves attached to an interior portion of the garment and which houses the at least one belt. 
     
     
         10 . A system as in  claim 8 , wherein the clasp comprises at least one parachute clasp, slide adjustable cinch, buckle, clasp, tensioning mechanism, lockable lace, or lever tightening mechanism. 
     
     
         11 . A system as in  claim 8 , wherein the at least one sleeve is discontinuous. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the garment is an overall. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the garment is a coverall. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the second end comprises pull tab to permit the user to selectively tighten the belt. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 8 , further comprising an external segment configured to open or close via the clasp to permit the holster to releasably engage with the internal belt. 
     
     
         16 . A system for securing a load to a garment, comprising:
 a garment;   at least one first inner sleeve disposed within the garment;   a first internal belt having a first end and a second end, the first internal belt being at least partially disposed within the at least one first sleeve and at least partially exposed outside of the garment;   at least one first clasp connected to the first end, and a portion of the first internal belt in mechanical communication with the clasp, wherein the second end is accessible from outside of the garment to tighten the first internal belt;   at least one second inner sleeve disposed within the garment; and   a second internal belt having a third end and a fourth end, the second internal belt being at least partially disposed within the at least one second sleeve and at least partially exposed outside of the garment, wherein the fourth end is accessible from outside of the garment to tighten the second internal belt.   
     
     
         17 . A system as in  claim 16 , further comprising:
 a first attachment mechanism disposed on the second; and   a second attachment mechanism disposed on the exterior of the garment constructed and arranged to engage with the first attachment mechanism to secure the second end.   
     
     
         18 . A system as in  claim 17 , wherein the first attachment mechanism and second attachment mechanism comprise a plurality of magnets. 
     
     
         19 . A system as in  claim 17 , wherein the first attachment mechanism and second attachment mechanism comprise a plurality of buttons. 
     
     
         20 . A system as in  claim 17 , wherein the first attachment mechanism and second attachment mechanism comprise a plurality of connectors.
