Abstract
A garment clip device includes a strap, a distal-end clip and a proximal-end clip. The garment clip device is useful for providing a simple, convenient, and comfortable method of keeping bras, underwear, and slips secure in a non-visible manner, and for providing decorative straps for strapless garments. The device is very versatile in use.
Claims20
A garment clip device, the garment clip device comprising:
- a strap including a distal-end, a proximal-end opposite the distal-end and a strap-length therebetween;
- a distal-end clip attached to the distal-end of the strap, the distal-end-clip having a first distal-end clip-member, a second distal-end clip-member joined to the first distal-end clip-member via a first-hinge, and a first actuator-lever, the first distal-end clip member including at least one first mating-protrusion, the second distal-end clip member including at least one first mating-aperture configured to mateably-receive the at least one first mating-protrusion, and the first actuator-lever being configured to selectively open and close the first distal-end clip member and the second distal-end clip member;
- and
- a proximal-end clip attached to the proximal-end of the strap, the proximal-end-clip having a first proximal-end clip-member, a second proximal-end clip-member joined to the first proximal-end clip-member via a second-hinge, and a second actuator-lever, the first proximal-end clip member including at least one second mating-protrusion, the second proximal-end clip member including at least one second mating-aperture configured to mateably-receive the at least one second mating-protrusion, and the first actuator-lever being configured to selectively open and close the first proximal-end clip member and the second proximal-end clip member.

- a strap including a distal-end, a proximal-end opposite the distal-end and a strap-length therebetween;
- a distal-end clip attached to the distal-end of the strap, the distal-end-clip having a first distal-end clip-member, a second distal-end clip-member joined to the first distal-end clip-member via a first-hinge, and a first actuator-lever, the first distal-end clip member including at least one first mating-protrusion, the second distal-end clip member including at least one first mating-aperture configured to mateably-receive the at least one first mating-protrusion, and the first actuator-lever being configured to selectively open and close the first distal-end clip member and the second distal-end clip member;
- and
- a proximal-end clip attached to the proximal-end of the strap, the proximal-end-clip having a first proximal-end clip-member, a second proximal-end clip-member joined to the first proximal-end clip-member via a second-hinge, and a second actuator-lever, the first proximal-end clip member including at least one second mating-protrusion, the second proximal-end clip member including at least one second mating-aperture configured to mateably-receive the at least one second mating-protrusion, and the first actuator-lever being configured to selectively open and close the first proximal-end clip member and the second proximal-end clip member;
- a distal-end clip cover for attachment to the distal-end clip, and wherein the distal-end clip includes a first attachment-means for receiving the distal-end clip cover;
- a proximal-end clip cover for attachment to the proximal-end clip, and wherein the proximal-end clip includes a second attachment-means for receiving the proximal-end clip cover;
- and
- a storage-pouch for compact storage of the strap, the distal-end clip and the proximal-end clip;
- and
- wherein the strap-length is at least five inches;
- wherein a strap-width of the strap is 2 mm;
- wherein the strap is made from a flexible-material;
- wherein flexible-material is elastic;
- wherein the strap-length is adjustable;
- wherein the strap is transparent to prevent viewability of the strap through a garment;
- wherein the strap includes a strap-thickness of 1 mm to further prevent viewability of the strap through the garment;
- wherein the distal-end clip and the proximal-end clip are made from a silicone-material;
- wherein the distal-end clip and the proximal-end clip each include a padding-material thereon to provide comfort to the user when attached to the at least one garment;
- wherein the padding-material is silicone;
- wherein the distal-end clip and the proximal-end clip are transparent to prevent viewability of the distal-end clip and the proximal-end clip through the garment;
- and
- wherein the distal-end clip and the proximal-end clip each include a clip-thickness of 2 mm to further prevent viewability of the strap through the at least one garment.
