Description
- This invention relates generally to zipper securing devices and, more particularly, to a gripping zipper securing ring that may be coupled to a zipper and then selectively tightened about a button of an article of clothing.
- Drooping pants or an unzipped zipper opening as a result of a zipper that won't stay up may lead to embarrassing circumstances. Zippers that tend to open unintentionally may occur due to poor design or workmanship in a pair of pants or perhaps if the wearer is overweight and this condition may put pressure on the zipper assembly. In any case, the potential for this circumstance may cause a wearer to become self-conscious or worried that his pants may fall down, droop, or cause an undesirable and embarrassing situation.
- Various devices have been proposed in the art for securing a zipper to a button on the waistband of a pair of pants or jeans. Although presumably effective for their intended purposes, the existing devices may not fit securely about the button of the pants to which they are attached, resulting in the securing device potentially becoming dislodged from attachment thereto and the zipper sliding down. This may be the result of the many variations in button sizes with which the zipper securing devices may be used.
- Therefore, it would be desirable to have a zipper securing ring that is adjustable to securely attach to buttons of various sizes. Further, it would be desirable to have a zipper securing ring that requires an intentional act of a user to remove it from the button of an article of clothing.
- A gripping zipper securing ring according to the present invention includes a ring member having a first portion pivotally coupled to a second portion for movement between open and closed configurations. The first portion includes a locking arm having a plurality of teeth. The second portion includes a locking receiver configured to selectively receive the locking arm therein. A release mechanism is situated in the locking receiver that is selectively movable between a locked configuration at which the locking arm is not removable from the locking receiver and a released configuration in which the locking arm is removable therefrom. The release mechanism includes a user operable release member with which to move the release mechanism between locked and released configurations.
- Therefore, a general object of this invention is to provide a zipper securing ring for securing a zipper to an article of clothing, such as to a waistband button.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a securing ring, as aforesaid, that may be adjusted to grip buttons of various sizes.
- Still another object of this invention is to provide a securing ring, as aforesaid, that is user-friendly to operate.
- Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein is set forth by way of illustration and example, embodiments of this invention.

FIG. 6A is an isolated view on an enlarged scale taken from a portion ofFIG. 5A ; and -
FIG. 6B is an isolated view on an enlarged scale taken from a portion ofFIG. 5B . - A gripping zipper securing ring according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to
FIGS. 1 to 4 b. The gripping securingring 10 includes aring member 12 having first 14 and second 30 annular portions and arelease mechanism 46 for allowing movement of thering member 12 between open and closed configurations. - The first 14 and second 30 portions of the
ring member 12 each includeproximal ends hinge 28 although other pivotal fasteners may also be used. Each of the first 14 and second 30 portions also include respectivedistal ends proximal ends - A
locking arm 20 is attached to thedistal end 18 of the ring memberfirst portion 14 and extends away therefrom having a free end 26 (FIG. 2 a). Thelocking arm 20 continues the same generally annular configuration of thefirst portion 14. It is understood that thelocking arm 20 and thefirst portion 14 may have a unitary construction. Thelocking arm 20 includes an outwardly facing side 22 (which may also be referred to as a forwardly facing edge) that defines a plurality of adjacentlysituated teeth 24. - A
locking receiver 36 is attached to thedistal end 34 of the ring membersecond portion 30 and extends away therefrom having a free end 38 (FIG. 2 a). Thelocking receiver 36 continues the same generally annular configuration of thesecond portion 30. It is understood that thelocking receiver 36 and thesecond portion 30 may have a unitary construction. Thelocking receiver 36 defines a generally hollow interior area 40. Further, thelocking receiver 36 defines aninlet 42 at the free end 38 thereof and anoutlet 44 spaced therefrom, both of which are in operative communication with the interior area for receiving thelocking arm 20 as will be described in greater detail later. - The
release mechanism 46 is positioned in the lockingreceiver 36 and is selectively movable between a locked configuration that engages the lockingarm teeth 24 so as to hold the lockingarm 20 at a selected configuration when the lockingarm 20 is inserted into the interior area of the lockingreceiver 36. More particularly, therelease mechanism 46 includes arelease member 47 or similar mechanism for receiving a user input force. Preferably, therelease member 47 includes anouter portion 48 that extends through an outer surface of the lockingreceiver 36 or is otherwise positioned on that outer surface (FIGS. 5A and 5B ). Therelease member 47 includes aninner portion 50 that extends into the interior area for selectively engaging theteeth 2 of lockingarm 20 when the lockingarm 20 is received into the lockingreceiver 36. Therelease mechanism 46, including therelease member 47 andinner portion 50, are normally positioned to engage theteeth 24 of the lockingarm 20 when the lockingarm 20 is inserted into the lockingreceiver 36. The plurality of lockingarm teeth 24 and theinner portion 50 have a ramped configuration such that theteeth 24 may be inserted past theinner portion 50 but may not return backwards. In other words, a user may push thelocking arm 20 in a forward or insertion direction into the lockingreceiver 36 but the lockingarm 20 is prevented from moving in a reverse or release direction. However, upon operation of therelease member 47—such as by a sliding movement or even outward pivotal movement—theinner portion 50 is moved out of engagement with the lockingarm teeth 24 and the lockingarm 20 is free to move in a reverse or release direction. It is understood that therelease member 47 andinner portion 50 may be spring biased toward the normally engaged configuration, such as with a spring steel, flexible plastic, or spring construction. -
FIGS. 2A and 3A show the first 14 and second 30 portions in a generally open configuration and with the lockingarm 20 in a released configuration.FIGS. 2B and 3B show the first 14 and second 30 portions in a generally closed configuration with the lockingarm 20 inserted into the lockingreceiver 36 so that theteeth 24 are engaged with the release mechanism. The lockingarm 20 is thereby prevented from being released. Thefree end 26 of the lockingarm 20 is inserted into theinlet 42 and extends out of theoutlet 44 in the engaged configuration. - The gripping
zipper securing ring 10 includes afastener 60 connect to the ring memberfirst portion 14 that is configured to be coupled to a zipper on a pair of jeans or pants. Thefastener 60 may be a metal ring although other fasteners such as clasp may be used. It is understood that the metal ring may include separated prongs that may be crimped together about the traditional hole in a zipper. - In use, the gripping
zipper securing ring 10 may be coupled to thezipper 2 of a person's jeans or pants. This is accomplished by connecting thefastener 60 to thezipper 2 such as by crimping sections of the metal ring to thezipper 2. Then, when thezipper 2 is pulled upward adjacent a button 4 of the pants, the lockingarm 20 of the ring memberfirst portion 14 is inserted into the lockingreceiver 36 of the ring membersecond portion 30. Thering member 12 may then be clipped onto the button 4. Finally, the lockingarm 20 should then be further inserted into the lockingreceiver 36 until thering member 12 is tightly secured to the button 4. When a user desires to release thering member 12, he may operate therelease mechanism 46 as discussed above such that the lockingarm 20 is released from the lockingreceiver 36. - It is understood that while certain forms of this invention have been illustrated and described, it is not limited thereto except insofar as such limitations are included in the following claims and allowable functional equivalents thereof.
