ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an accessory base for use with lifting belts. Typically, lifting belts have flaps extending from a lumbar section containing loop fastening material on the exterior sides, and side pulls containing hook fastening material on the interior sides, whereby the hook fastening material on the side pulls can matingly engage the loop fastening material on the exterior sides of the flaps. In effect, the side pulls and flaps utilized according to the present invention for the "sandwiching-type" securement of the accessory base between the side pull and the belt flaps. The accessory base has a hook fastening portion on its inside and a loop fastening portion on its outside to the end that the accessory base can secure itself to the underlying belt flaps, and then be locked in place by the side pulls in sandwich effect. The accessory base has a fold-over cummerbund panel that depends from the upper portion of the accessory base, which panel, after the side pulls are secured, is reversely folded downwardly over the front of the side pulls and masks the flaps and side pulls, while displaying a smart cummerbund facade. The fold-over portion keeps the lifting belt clean by shielding against crumbs, lint, and other debris. The fold-over portion also helps to secure the accessory base to the lifting belt by providing multiple layers of securement.
