ABSTRACT:
A hip belt comprises a number of substantially similar pieces successively connected by snap fasteners. Each individual piece possesses a pliant construction of substantially uniform thickness and has a perimeter edge. The side edge portions of the perimeter edge of each piece impart a taper to the piece. The snap fasteners are located in the end edge portions of the pieces and enable each piece to swivel with respect to its immediately adjacent pieces. When worn, the belt assumes a configuration in which side portions are supported by the wearer's hips. Front and back portions extend from the side portions across the wearer's abdomen and lower back respectively, and they may have slight downward curvatures. In a belt for a typical wearer, there may be from eleven to fifteen of the individual pieces. Various forms of indicia and/or decoration may be imparted to the individual pieces.
