Combined Collar Stabilizer and Button Closure Tool

Abstract

A combined collar stabilizer and button closure tool adds a utility that facilitates securing a button to an accessory that fits into the collar pocket of a shirt, and provides an aesthetically pleasing, straight, crisp, well-groomed appearance of the shirt collar. The combined collar stabilizer and button closure tool increases the efficiency and eases the process required to secure the button closure of a shirt for buttons with a range of diameters needed for buttons of various sizes. The combined tool is made of a substantial material without limiting pliability, is a single form, consists of two distinct ends, and is shaped to substantially fit within the collar stay pocket. One end of the tool is angular in shape and accommodates the angle of the collar pocket tip. The other end, proximate to the end of the collar pocket, is designed to facilitate the closure of a button closure system.

Problems solved by technology

These devices, most commonly known as button hooks, exist independently of the textile and have no utilization in improving the appearance of textiles.

Additionally, the independence of these devices not only make them difficult to access at the time of need (getting dressed), but if the time of need occurs away from the traditional storage area of such a device, it requires an additional expenditure of funds to have the device accessible.
