It is also aesthetically pleasing and can be worn as is.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This new shoulder strap holder invention is compact and can be secured by simply screwing in the two monocoque parts together to the shoulder of a garment through an eyelet. According to one aspect of the present invention, the improvement comprising a shoulder strap holder having two monocoque parts, a bottom plate with a pin screw, and a top plate with a cylindrical portion with an interior cavity having a screw thread formed releasably retaining the pin screw. Once the pin screw has been passed through the eyelet placed on the shoulder of a garment and has been screwed in the cylindrical portion, it catches the material or fabric leaving an holding space to hold on any strap. According to one aspect of the present invention, the shoulder strap holder is to improve the look of the shoulder of a garment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to the drawings in greater details and by reference characters thereto, there is illustrated in the drawings an embodiment of the present invention. The shoulder strap holder is indicated generally by reference numeral 10 and comprises a monocoque bottom plate 12 and a monocoque top plate 22. Bottom plate 12 includes a bottom plate 14 which has a plurality of apertures 16 formed therein. In the illustrated embodiment, for such apertures 16 are illustrated; more may be provided if desired. A pin screw 18 extends outwardly from bottom plate 14, pin screw 18 may, if desired, be screw threaded or take another form so as to provide a releasable retaining movement as will be discussed in greater detail herein below. Monocoque top plate 22, includes a cylindrical portion 24, cylindrical portion 24 has an interior cavity 25 and terminates, at one end thereof, in a radially flange 26. At the other end of the cylindrical portion 24, there is provided a top plate 28, which may be of a various configuration although a generally configuration such as may be seen in FIG. 1 if preferred. It will be noted that apertures 29 are for the purposes of illustration only, apertures 27 and 16 are provided to permit sewing of the monocoque top and bottom plate to a shoulder of a garment, they are provided in flange 26 and bottom plate 12 respectively. Top plate 22 has a surface grooved desing 30. In one embodiment, cylindrical portion 24 base an interior cavity having a screw thread formed on the inside thereof.
In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an optional eyelet element 32 having an aperture 34 located centrally thereof, this eyelet may be of a flexible material for protecting the fabric of the garment. Depending on the manufacturing process, these shown oval and round drawings can be made in many other shapes, irregular shapes, forms, sizes and thickness. Also this invention can be made of any material such as: plastic, thermoplastic, wood, metal or other like, gold, silver, copper, enamel, nacre, glass, ivory, aluminum, ceramic, brass, celluloid, and of any other elements not described herewith if desired.
