DEFINITION

These include (1) a member or members attached to the belt which act to increase friction, such as pads or buttons, which press on the garment to be held, (2) elements on the inside of the belt which are chordal, i.e., would intersect the arc of belt when it is curved, or (3) belts having impaling members but no other structure to hold the impaling means.
