Temporary pants hemming/cuffing devices

A device for engaging one or more layers of fabric comprising:

• a longitudinally extending outer body having a distal end portion and a base portion, wherein the outer body distal end portion comprises a seam recess;
• a longitudinally extending and substantially planar tongue having a first end and a second end;
• a hinge connecting the outer body base portion and the second end of the tongue, the outer body base portion being offset from the second end of the tongue in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base portion;
• the hinge biased to position the first end of the tongue on a rear side of the outer body and the second end of the tongue on a front side of the outer body;
• and
• the tongue and the outer body defining a tapered slot generally congruent to a periphery of the outer body, wherein the tapered slot is configured to receive material and to frictionally engage the material between the tongue and the outer body.

A hemming device detachably securable to a material, the hemming device comprising:

• a longitudinally extending and substantially planar outer body having a length extending from a distal end portion to a base portion and width that is smallest at a point about midway between the distal end portion and the base portion;
• the distal end portion being generally round and the base portion being generally angular;
• the outer body defining a generally keyhole shaped opening;
• a longitudinally extending and substantially planar tongue having a generally circular first end and a generally elongated second end and a tongue transition point between the first end and second end;
• the tongue having a size smaller than the outer body and a shape generally complementary to the outer body;
• a hinge attaching the outer body base portion and the second end of the tongue;
• the hinge having a width between about 4 millimeters and about 30 millimeters;
• the outer body base portion being offset via the hinge from the second end of the tongue in distance equal to the width of the hinge and in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base portion;
• the hinge biased to position the tongue to extend from the second end through the opening when detached from the material, such that the tongue passes through the outer body proximate the tongue transition point, the hinge enabling the tongue to be displaced out of the opening so as to define a receiving recess bounded by the tongue, the outer body, and the hinge, such that the material may be received and detachably secured within the receiving recess.

A hemming device detachably securable to a material, the hemming device comprising:

• a longitudinally extending outer body having a distal end portion and a base portion, and defining a generally U-shaped opening;
• a longitudinally extending and substantially planar tongue having a first end and a second end;
• wherein the tongue is generally T-shaped, and the tongue further comprises parallel dependent arms extending proximally from the first end of the tongue, and
• a hinge connecting the outer body base portion and the second end of the tongue, the outer body base portion being offset via the hinge from the second end of the tongue in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base portion, the hinge biased to position the tongue to extend from the second end through the opening when detached from the material, the hinge enabling the tongue to be displaced out of the opening so as to define a receiving recess bounded by the tongue, the outer body, and the hinge, such that the material may be received and detachably secured within the receiving recess.
