Abstract:

A Trouser Guard Coil () is a watch spring shape strip () of springable material used to bind objects together. The Trouser Guard Coil has a first end (), a second end (), a top edge (), and a bottom edge (). Top and bottom edges ( and ), are parallel volute coils that extend from the first end () to the second end (). The strip () has a front surface () on the exterior side of the coil, and a rear surface () on the interior side. The Trouser Guard Coil is employed by simultaneously uncoiling the strip () from the volute form and recoiling it in a helical manner to bring the rear surface () into contact with a mounting surface (), such as a trouser leg worn by a user. In a preferred embodiment, the front surface () is highly reflective of optical light, and the strip () has a cushion material () to aid comfort and positional stability.
