second embodiment

[0177] SECOND EMBODIMENT

[0178] A second embodiment is describer hereafter. FIG. 15 is an exploded perspective view of a hook assembly according to a second embodiment of the invention.

[0179] In a hook assembly 100 according to the second embodiment, a hook attachment plate 103X of a hook element 100X has accommodating dents 103b at a jointed portion with the hook body 102 so as to accommodate the hook claws 102b, in contrast with the hook assembly of the first embodiment. Moreover, a socket attachment plate 105X of a socket element 100BX has accommodating dents 105b at a jointed portion with the socket body 104 so as to accommodate the socket claws 104c. The hook attachment plate 103X has through holes 103ax corresponding to the through holes 103a. Furthermore, the socket attachment plate 105X has through holes 105ax corresponding to the through holes 105a.

[0180] In addition, the socket attachment plate 105X has a bulged portion 105c configured by an X-shaped groove between those tw...

third embodiment

[0183] THIRD EMBODIMENT

[0184] A third embodiment is describer hereafter. FIG. 16 is an exploded perspective view of socket element 100BY of a hook assembly 100 according to a third embodiment of the invention.

[0185] In the third embodiment, a socket attachment plate 105Y of a socket element 100BY has accommodating dents 105by at a jointed portion with the socket body 104 so as to accommodate the socket claws 104c.

[0186] At the jointed portion of the socket attachment plate 105Y with the socket body 104, the accommodating dents 105by are provided only at an area where the socket claws 104c are housed. Thus, there is provided a room where connecting bridges 104b of the socket body 104 are fitted without interruption. The socket attachment plate 105Y has through holes 105ay corresponding to the through holes 105a.

[0187] In addition, the socket attachment plate 105Y has a bulged portion 105c configured by an X-shaped groove between those two accommodating dents 105b.

[0188] The hook asse...

fifth embodiment

[0194] FIFTH EMBODIMENT

[0195] A fifth embodiment is describer hereafter. FIG. 18 is an exploded perspective view of a hook assembly according to a fifth embodiment of the invention.

[0196] The fifth embodiment of hook assembly 100 can be structured to have the conventional hook element 200A and the first embodiment of socket element 100B. Specifically, the socket element 100B has the plural sockets 141, 142 formed at a fixed interval in the hooking direction so as to be caught by the hook 221 of the hook body 202.

[0197] With such structure, the hook element 200A can be easily assembled by inserting the bendable hook claws 202b in the through holes 203a of the hook attachment plate 203 and bending them thereafter. Similarly, the socket element 100B can be easily assembled by inserting the bendable socket claws 104b in the through holes 105a of the socket attachment plate 105 and bending them thereafter. Then, the hook element 200A is attached to one of the parted portions of the waist...

Abstract

A front center opening can be opened and closed by a zip fastener. A hook assembly joins upper ends of the front center opening in a separable way and adjusts a waist size of pants within a fixed range. An adjusting cloth is sewed between one of fastener tapes of the zip fastener and an outer cloth of the front center opening. The adjusting cloth has an overlap to provide an extra length on the waist size of the pants. The hook assembly adjusts the waist size of the pants so as to fit a waist size of a user. The overlap of the adjusting cloth is extended in a specified manner so as to adjust a size of the pants corresponding to a portion lower than the waist of the user.
