Benefits of technology

"The present invention aims to provide a functional belt with a flexible structure that can reduce pressure on the belly and waist, preventing disc disease and promoting health. Additionally, the belt should maintain its function even if a flexible portion is torn, and have a smaller number of components to reduce costs. Furthermore, the belt should have a ruler on the inner circumference to allow users to determine their waist circumference."

Problems solved by technology

However, one inconvenience is that this kind of belt does not have flexibility once it is worn on the waist, and thus applies strong pressure to the belly.
After a meal, the pressure increases to an extent of causing the user to suffer from indigestion.
This is not only inconvenient but also creates a negative impression on others.
A conventional rubber belt completely surrounds the waist when attached to trousers or a skirt, and thus causes problems such as furling and wrinkling of clothes.
The rubber belt also tends to increase frictional force against the skin, thereby leaving a mark on the skin, or cause sweat or pain, thereby forming itchy areas on the skin.
Furthermore, since the pressure is distributed to the whole belt, the user can feel less pressure on the belly, and thus may excessively tighten the belt, thereby causing adverse metabolic effects.
However, since the flexible section A is formed of the band, it tends to excessively stretch in accordance with the movement of the user.
Thus, this belt cannot overcome problems such as marks on the skin due to an increase in frictional force against the skin, and itching of the skin due to sweat or pain.
Furthermore, if the flexible section A is torn or cut, the belt cannot be used any longer.

first embodiment

[0049]FIG. 3 is a bottom view illustrating the assembled state of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, a fixing bar 20 is formed at one end of connecting bars 21, which extend toward and are attached to the buckle 92, and the flexible part 90 is connected to the fixing bar 20, so that flexibility can be imparted to the belt.

[0050]FIG. 4 illustrates the side view of the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the fixing bar 20 is laterally restrained in a flexible member 22, which is placed inside a cover 26, so that applying force to the belt stretches the flexible member 22 to increase the total length of the belt, thereby alleviating the pressure applied to the waist.

[0051]Hereinafter, the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 will be described in greater detail with reference to the exploded perspective view.

[0052]In the functional belt, the flexible part 90 is integrally provided at one end of the belt to allow the belt ...

second embodiment

[0065]FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating the present invention. Fixing the belt member 30 by pressing the end with the protrusions 34 of the fixing sections 32 is inconvenient. When the user finds that the belt member 30 is longer than necessary, the belt member 30 is disassembled from the connector by spreading the fixing sections 32 using a tool, the end of the belt member 30 is cut away, and then the belt member 30 is fixedly coupled again. Therefore, a front lever plate 72 and a rear lever plate 74 are provided, so that the flexible part 90 and the belt member 30 can be easily adjusted in length by pivoting the lever plates 72 and 74.

[0066]Described in greater detail, the front lever plate 72 fixes the flexible part 90, and the rear lever plate 74 fixes the belt member 30. The front lever plate 72 has a protruding central portion (in the form of an upside-down “T”) in order to enhance pressure, and the rear lever plate 74 has a U shape with a recessed central portion and ...

Abstract

A functional belt having a flexible structure can relatively reduce pressure applied to the belly and the waist, thereby reducing the possibility of disc disease, prevent hypometabolism due to the belt that does not stretch, thereby promoting good health, and maintain its function as a belt even if a flexible portion is torn. The functional belt includes a flexible part 90 integrally provided at one end of the belt to allow the belt to stretch and contract in length, a buckle 92 coupled with one end of the flexible part 90 to allow the user to adjust the length of the belt, which is fastened to clothes such as trousers, in order to prevent the clothes from slipping down, and a connector 94 connecting the other end of the flexible part 90, coupled with the buckle 92, to a belt member 30 that is made of a predetermined material.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to a functional belt, and more particularly, to a functional belt having a flexible structure, which can decrease pressure applied to the belly and the waist, thereby reducing the possibility of disc disease, prevent hypometabolism attributable to belts that do not stretch, thereby promoting good health, and maintain its function as a belt even if the flexible portion is torn.[0003]The present invention also relates to a functional belt, in which one end of the belt is directly fixed to a fixing bar of a buckle, and a flexible member is disposed in a first opening at one end of the belt. The functional belt has a simple structure and includes a smaller number of components, thereby remarkably reducing product costs. The flexible member is not easily torn since it is not exposed to the outside. Even if the flexible member is torn, the functional belt does not lose its function as a...
