Abstract

A closure system for reversibly connecting interchangeable items of athletic wear includes at least one elongate connector. The connector has an anchor point attaching the connector to a first piece of athletic wear. The anchor point is located at a first end of the connector and defines a point about which a second end of the connector is angularly displaceable. At least one locking point is located on the first piece of athletic wear. The locking point is reversibly mateable with a locking point coupler located at the second end of the connector. At least one engagement point located on a second piece of athletic wear is capable of reversibly engaging a portion of the connector. When the locking point coupler is mated to the locking point, the connector and engagement point hold the first and second pieces of athletic wear towards one another.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 411,472 filed Nov. 8, 2010.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to a closure system configured to releasably engage two pieces of athletic wear.BACKGROUND[0003]Clothing often shifts positions during wear. An athlete's uniform shirt or compressive shirt often shifts during sports competitions. For example, at the beginning of a soccer game, a soccer player typically tucks his shirt into his shorts in order to adhere to a dress code or prevent an opponent from pulling on his or her shirt during the game. Throughout the game, as the athlete engages in sudden physical movements, such as running and jumping, the athlete's shirt often becomes un-tucked from his or her shorts. This can result in a violation of a league dress code or an opportunity for an opponent to tug at the athlete's loose shirt.[0004]The present invention is directed to a device that ...
