Abstract

Belt adjustment systems are configured for wearing around a user's waist and permit a continuum of belt loop sizes or a larger selection of belt loop sizes. The belt adjustment system includes an elongate belt member having a first end, a second end and a series of teeth positioned on an inner surface near the second end and a fixation member having first and second adjustment elements.

Claims (9)

1. A belt system, comprising:

an elongate belt member comprising a first end, a second end and an inner surface near the second end;

a buckle on the first end of the belt member, the buckle adapted to engage the second end of the belt member in a pinless manner such that the belt does not require holes and the buckle does not require a pin, the buckle defining an opening sized to receive the second end of the belt when worn by a user; and

a belt container having an internal cavity sized and shaped to store the elongate belt member in a rolled state and to also store the entire buckle, the container having a rectangular prism shape such that the belt and the buckle fits snugly within the container such that the belt will not rattle or move within the container when the container is closed, wherein the container has a container door and a base, and wherein the base defines an external and internal rectangular prism shape and the container door has a curved shape, and wherein the container door rotates and pivots to an open position while remaining attached to the base of the belt container and wherein the container door is rigid so that the container door retains the curved shape when opened, and wherein the base of the belt container forms an opening sized to receive the belt and the belt buckle, wherein both the belt member and the entire buckle are contained within the cavity of the belt container.

2. The belt system as in claim 1 , further comprising a buckle door on the belt buckle that opens and closes to reveal a hidden compartment.

3. The belt system as in claim 2 , wherein the compartment is sized and shaped to contain at least one of a ball marker and a divot repair tool.

4. The belt system as in claim 2 , wherein the buckle door separates from the body of the belt buckle.

5. The belt system as in claim 4 , wherein the buckle door is pivotably attached to the body of the belt buckle.

6. The belt system as in claim 1 , wherein the container door has an upper external, convex surface and a pair of external, opposed flat surfaces.
