Trouser leg retaining device

An apparatus comprising:

• an elongated elastomeric band of adjustable length having opposed top and bottom end sections;
• a bell shaped ring having a flat portion and a curved portion wherein said top end section of said elastomeric band encircles said flat portion of said bell-shaped ring to secure said top end section of said elastomeric band to said bell-shaped ring;
• a locking clip having a pair of jaws pivotally affixed to each other by a spring and wherein said locking clip is secured to said bottom end of said elastomeric band and wherein said clip engages the top back portion of a shoe;
• an elongated support member having a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein said support member lies adjacent to and in a longitudinal direction with said elongated elastomeric band, and wherein said top portion of said elongated support member defines a hole therein and wherein said bottom portion terminates in a U-shaped channel;
• a fastener means comprised of a snap, wherein said snap has a first portion and a second portion wherein said first portion of said snap has a flat section with an elongated receptacle extending therefrom and wherein said receptacle has an inside and an outside surface, and wherein said second portion of said snap has a flat section with a prong extending therefrom and wherein said elongated receptacle passes through said bell-shaped ring and through said hole in said support member to lie adjacent to the interior surface of the pant leg and wherein said second portion of said snap passes through said pant leg to slidably engage with said receptacle of said first portion of said snap
• a locking clamp for adjusting the length of said elastomeric band, wherein said locking clamp is fixedly secured to said elastomeric band.

An apparatus comprised of:

• an elongated elastomeric band of adjustable length having opposing top and bottom end sections;
• a bell shaped ring having a flat portion and a curved portion wherein said top end section of said elastomeric band encircles said flat portion of said bell-shaped ring to secure said top end section of said elastomeric band to said bell-shaped ring and wherein said curved portion of said bell-shaped ring lies adjacent to said first section of said snap that protrudes through said bell-shaped ring;
• a split O-shaped ring with a coupling wherein said bottom end section of said elastomeric band encircles said O-shaped ring to secure said bottom end section of said elastomeric band to said O-shaped ring;
• an elongated support member having a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein said support member lies adjacent to and in a longitudinal direction with said elongated elastomeric band, and wherein said top portion of said elongated support member defines a hole therein and wherein said bottom portion terminates in a U-shaped channel having a shorter side and a longer side, each of said sides of said U-shaped channel having inside and outside surfaces, wherein said shorter side contains a plurality of gripping teeth on said inside surface;
• a fastener means comprised of a snap, wherein said snap has a first portion and a second portion wherein said first portion of said snap has a flat section with an elongated receptacle extending therefrom wherein said receptacle has an inside surface and an outside surface wherein said inside surface of said receptacle of said first portion of said snap is lined with a plastic holding material and wherein said second portion of said snap has an outside surface and an inside surface whereby a prong extends from said inside surface and wherein said outside surface of said second portion of said snap is imprinted with a predetermined logo or design, and wherein said elongated receptacle passes through said bell-shaped ring and through said hole in said support member to lie adjacent to the interior surface of the pant leg and wherein said second portion of said snap passes through said pant leg to slidably engage with said receptacle of said first portion of said snap;
• a locking clamp for adjusting the length of said elastomeric band, wherein said locking clamp is fixedly secured to said elastomeric band, said clamp being selectively clampable to said elastomeric band, the positioning of said clamp on said elastomeric band adjusting the length thereof.
