Benefits of technology
"The present invention is a lightweight, adjustable, decorative belt with a thin elastic strap and a thin exchangeable buckle with an ornamental face plate. The belt has the appearance of a continuous belt with no visually apparent ends and has a symmetrical appearance on opposite sides of the buckle. The user can adjust and affix the belt's overall length and tension to a desired amount and selectively connect and disconnect the belt from the user's waist. The belt also conceals the section of excess strap material and the loose end of the strap when worn. The buckle can be detached from the strap and exchanged with another buckle with a different ornamental face plate to create different ornamental belts that can be used with different pants and outfits."
Problems solved by technology
Unfortunately, when the buckle is disconnected from the strap, the strap's overall length and tension is automatically released.
While decorative belts are common, many belts use relatively thick buckles or clasps and thick straps that make the individual's waist and hips appear wider or more bulky than desired.
If the excess strap material is too long or too short, the loose end may become detached from the loop and distracting.
