AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0004]The present invention is directed to a pants cuff clamp that allows the user to wear the posterior side of the pant leg cuff above the rim of the back of the shoe to prevent the pant cuff from becoming soiled, damaged, wet, or creating a safety hazard. The double dual shoe to pant hem protector clip clamp has a clamping component on each end of this device. One clamp component attaches to the top back rim of the back of a shoe or boot heel. The other clamp component attaches to the back hem of a pair of pants. There may be cushioning attached to the side of the clip facing the leg. The device therefore, enables the back of the pants to be held and lifted above ground level. This helps prevent the pant hems from getting soiled and damaged from dragging on the ground. It may also help to prevent accidental tripping over the excessively loose fabric. The double clamp device may be worn on one or both pant leg hems. This relatively small and portable device can be adapted to most baggy pants and / or shoes and boots. In addition, the device may be used by a wide and diverse group of individuals, and crosses age and gender barriers. This device is unique in that it eliminates the need for multiple devices necessary to attach pants to the back of a shoe. Instead of needing two or more gadgets or devices to attach the hem of pants onto the top of a shoe, the task can be accomplished by utilizing the dual clamp. In addition, the dual clamp is constructed with various interchangeable components that will enable the wearer to add versatility and pizzazz to their wardrobe.

[0005]The main function of the dual clamp is to connect the pant hem to the shoe heel rim or edge. However, another equally integral component of this device is that of a fashion accessory product. The basic clamp device may have little or no decoration. On the other hand, the device can be extensively and ornately embellished on the surface area of the device. In addition, the device can be adapted to accommodate additional external and separate paraphernalia to enhance the appearance of the device and add whimsy. These additional external components can be attached to the dual clamp device by means of magnets, double sided sticky tape, Velcro, screws, tensile clips and other forms or methods of attachment. The attachments may be permanent or temporary. The double dual clamp is a complete unit. It is comprised of an upper clamp component as well as a lower clamp component. An exemplary embodiment of the device is the capability to disconnect and reconnect at key points between the two separate clamp components. This may or may not include the use of connector elements. The components may be connected or disconnected upon the wearer's discretion. The device can therefore, function as one complete unit; or it can be temporarily de-constructed into two distinct components which continue to have clamping capability, as well as decorative function. The wearer can utilize only one of the components at a time, or both of them. However, maximum functionality and ornamentation may be achieved when both the upper and lower components are used. The device has great versatility. The double dual shoe to pant hem protector clip clamp can therefore be functional, as well as an interesting fashion accessory device.

Problems solved by technology

However, wearing baggy pants does pose some problems.

The hem of the pants frequently gets wet and dirty, and a safety hazard often exists due to tripping over excessively loose and long pant hems.
