Abstract
This redesigned suspender clasp alleviates the problem of suspender clasps coming unfastened when the wearer slides across a surface such as a vehicle seat by extending the middle toothed plate upward beyond the top (lever) plate.
Claims1
A commonly used suspenders clasp, consisting of three plates hinged together, two of which are toothed, and the third of which (called the top plate) acts as a lever to push the middle, toothed plate onto the bottom toothed plate is altered by having the middle plate extended on one or both sides and turned upward so as to reach above the top plate. The turned upward portions are extended beyond the end of the top plate and curved slightly around the free corners of the top plate. This design results in the suspender clasps staying closed when the wearer slides across a surface.
