ABSTRACT:
A brassiere strap retainer includes a first strip of Velcro material bearing hooks on one side thereof, and a second strip of Velcro material having a hook-receiving pad on one side thereof. The pad of the second strip faces the hooks and one end of the pad strip is secured to the hook-bearing strip, as by glue, sewing or the like. In one embodiment, the pad-bearing strip is shorter in length than the hook-bearing strip and is positioned thereagainst so as to expose both opposite ends of the hook-bearing side of the hook strip. The pad-bearing strip forms an openable flap, between which flap and the adjacent hook-bearing strip surface a brassiere strap can be releasably trapped. The exposed hook portions of the strip are used to releasably anchor the strap to the interior of a woman's upper garment so as to conceal the strap. In another embodiment, one end of the pad-bearing strip is secured to one end of the hook-bearing strip so that the two strips extend away from each other. The hook-bearing strip can be wrapped around a brassiere strap and then anchored to the pad strip. The exposed hooks of the hook-bearing strip can be used to anchor the retainer and strap to the interior of a woman's blouse, etc. In a third embodiment, one end of the pad-bearing strip is secured, as by heat sealing, to either an end or intermediate portion of the hook-bearing strip so that the pad-bearing strip overlies the hook-bearing strip. The pad-bearing strip can also bear hooks on the opposite side thereof.
