Garment waistband expander apparatus

A garment waistband expander apparatus arranged for positioning within a waistband portion of a garment, wherein the apparatus comprises,

• a first plate and a second plate, the first plate having a first plate outer arcuate end wall, and the second plate having a second plate arcuate end wall for engagement with the waistband of the garment, and the first plate having a first plate interior end wall spaced from the first plate outer arcuate end wall, and the second plate having a second plate interior end wall spaced from the second plate outer arcuate end wall, the first plate interior end wall and the second plate interior end wall arranged in a spaced parallel relationship to define a gap therebetween,
• and
• cam means mounted to the second plate for engagement with the first plate for effecting separation of the first plate interior end wall relative to the second plate interior end wall,
• and
• the cam means is mounted within the gap,
• and
• spaced parallel slots directed through the second plate, with the slots orthogonally oriented relative to the second plate interior end wall, and the slots mounting spaced parallel mounting plates, and the cam means includes a cam plate mounted between the mounting plates, the cam plate having a major axis and a minor axis, with the major axis having a first length, the minor axis having a second length, wherein the first length is greater than the second length, and the cam plate having a cam plate axle directed through the cam plate on a first side of the minor axis and orthogonally directed through the mounting plates within the gap, and a handle mounted fixedly to the cam plate on a second side of the minor axis to effect rotation of the cam plate, with the cam plate having a cam plate periphery and the cam plate periphery in engagement with the first plate interior end wall, whereupon rotation of the handle effects displacement of the first plate relative to the second plate.
