Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a method is provided for adjusting the length of a belt having right and left front portions and a back portion, the right and left front portions of the belt each moveable with respect to the back portion of the belt. Opposite ends of a strap are attached to the right and left front portions of the belt. The strap includes a middle section including opposing portions detachably coupled to one another. The strap is coupled to the back portion of the belt between the opposite ends of the strap such that movement of the right and left front portions of the belt away from the back portion of the belt causes detachment of the opposing portions of the middle section of the strap from one another. The right and left front portions of the belt are moved away from the back portion of the belt to adjust the length of the belt, the detachable coupling of the opposing portions of the middle section of the strap ensuring that the right and left front portions of the belt move in approximately equal amounts relative to the back portion of the belt.
