Claim 17:
18. A belt alternatively forming a tightened closed state and a released state, the belt including:
a first belt element comprising a first flexible elongate length with a first rigid end, the first flexible elongate length coupled with a first strip of hook and loop fastener fabric, and at least one aperture extending fully through the first rigid end;
a second belt element comprising a second flexible elongate length with a second rigid end, the second flexible elongate length coupled with a second strip of hook and loop fastener fabric;
a basic buckle assembly, comprising at least a frame and a tongue, coupled to the second rigid end, such that when the basic buckle assembly is detachably engaged with the at least one aperture of the first rigid end by (a) passing at least a leading portion of the first rigid end through the frame of the basic buckle assembly and positioning the at least one aperture of the first rigid end within the frame of the basic buckle assembly, (b) extending the tongue of the basic buckle assembly through the at least one aperture of the first rigid end, whereby when the second rigid end is securely coupled with the first rigid end, and the first strip of hook and loop fastener fabric and the second strip of hook and loop fastener fabric are detachably coupled, the tightened closed state is instantiated;
the released state is instantiated when either (1.) the tongue does not extend through the at least one aperture, or (2.) the first strip of hook and loop fastener fabric and the second strip of hook and loop fastener fabric are detached; and
wherein the first and second flexible elongate lengths are fully separable.
