Benefits of technology
The present invention is a device for securing clothing to a person's body while they wear it. The device has two members that pivotally connect together and have a closure mechanism, such as magnets, attached to them. The first and second members have gripping surfaces and a cushioning surface for the person's comfort. The device forms a space between the two members to hold the clothing when engaged. The invention can be easily adjusted to different lengths and positions of the clothing. The technical effect is to provide a convenient and comfortable way to secure clothing to a person's body.
Problems solved by technology
It is sometimes difficult to cuff, roll up very light weight or very heavy weight fabric so that the material will remain secured in the modified position.
Therefore, these commonly employed techniques often result in the cuff falling out or the sleeves / legs rolling or sliding down through repeated use of the limbs, gravity, and / or stretching of the garment material.
A problem with this type of clip, however, is that the jaws can pull or tear the clothing material or scratch the skin of the wearer.
A problem with this type of clip is that continuous force exerted to the lever may weaken the clamping power of the clip, and since there is no closure on the open end of the clip, heavier material may not remain securely adjusted.

Embodiment Construction
[0026]With reference to FIGS. 1-12, the fabric clamping device 10 of the present invention generally comprises two elongated arms attached to each other at one end of the device 10 and separated from one another at the other end of the device 10 to form a device opening, open end, or mouth 11 for receiving an item such as a portion of clothing therein. A first arm may comprise an elongated first member 12 and a second arm may comprise an elongated second member 14. The first member 12, the second member 14, or both, may be arcuate or partially arcuate. In certain embodiments of the invention, the first member 12 and the second member 14 may each have a length ranging from about 0.5″ to about 4″ and a width ranging from about 0.25″ to about 2″. The first member 12 and second member 14 may each have a generally rectangular shape. Other possible shapes and sizes of the first member 12 and second member 14 may be, for example, circular, oval, square, or triangular shaped and of suitable...

Abstract
A device for securing an article of clothing to a desired length or position and a method for using the device are described. The device is comprised of a first member and a second member pivotally coupled together on corresponding ends thereof and a closure means attached at the opposing ends of the first and second members. The device can be used to secure an article of clothing by disengaging the closure means to open the device, sliding the second member of the opened device beneath the article of clothing to be secured, and engaging the closure means to close the device over the article of clothing.
Description
FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a device for securing an article of clothing. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device that releasably attaches to an article of clothing to secure the article to an adjusted length or position while being worn by a person.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]It is desired, or even necessary, at times for people to modify or adjust their clothing, whether to suit their particular style, to change the look of the clothing, for convenience, or comfort (e.g., accommodate weather changes, engage in a particular activity, etc.). For example, people often adjust the length of sleeves or pants by cuffing, scrunching up, or rolling.[0003]The fabrics used to make different articles of clothing come in a variety of different weights and textures. It is sometimes difficult to cuff, roll up very light weight or very heavy weight fabric so that the material will remain secured in the modified position. Therefore, these commonly...
