Problems solved by technology

This creates a problem in that the pants legs, which are sewn or chosen with a longer length to accommodate moderate or higher heels, will drag on the ground when the wearer puts on the more comfortable low-heeled shoes for travel.
During that travel, the bottoms of their pants legs are dragging on the ground causing them to become dirty and, over time, frayed.
Hemming the pants legs at a shorter length so they will not drag during the commute is not a realistic option becaus

Embodiment Construction

[0020]FIG. 1 shows a strip 10 having an original, extended length defined by edges 15 and 16 and a length after manufacture defined by edges 13 and 14. During manufacture, one end of the strip 10 is folded over on itself at the section defined between edges 13 and 15 and the folded-over portion is sewn down by peripheral-edge stitches 18. Similarly, the other end of the strip 10 is folded over on itself at the section defined between edges 14 and 16 and is sewn down by peripheral-edge stitches 17. The respective peripheral-edge stitches are made, as shown around three peripheral edges to form enclosed pockets 19 and 21. Prior to the stitching, magnets 20 and 22 are placed, respectively, into pockets 19 and 21 so the stitching keeps the magnets in place within the pockets.

[0021]Optionally, the magnets can be arranged on spacers within the pockets 19 and 21, to provide some cushion and spacing between the magnets and metal objects, such as metal furniture, that the magnets may encount...

Abstract

A support for a temporary pant rollup is described. A strip of flexible material includes magnets located at opposing ends. The strip is wrapped around a temporary pant rollup to support the pant rollup. The magnets are enclosed in pockets on the strip and are magnetically attracted to each other when the strip is wrapped around the pant rollup. The magnets attract each other with the pant fabric sandwiched between them, to physically support the strip, and thereby the rollup, in place.

Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]This disclosure relates to a free-hanging magnetic fastener to temporarily support pant leg rollups at readily adjustable lengths.INTRODUCTION[0002]Pant legs are usually purchased or altered to a length suitable to the leg length of the wearer, using a typical shoe height (or a shoe height chosen by the wearer for the particular pants). Particularly in women's fashion, where shoes may have very different heel heights from “flats” having relatively minimal heel height to “high heels” having relatively high heel heights, the hem of the pants legs are sewn or chosen to coincide with the heel height that the wearer will expect to use when wearing those pants.[0003]Women's dress pants and business pant legs are typically sewn or chosen to accommodate moderate to high heels that are more typically worn in formal or business settings. But, when traveling to and from those formal or business settings, women will frequently choose to wear more comfortable flats, ...
