Patent ID: 7640602

Claim:
An assembled anti-creep waist-clothing stay device comprising: a stay strip having a free side coated with a first adhesive which is a contact adhesive for pre-application positioning of the stay device on the waist-clothing, the contact adhesive on the free side having a peel-off cover thereon to protect the adhesive prior to use; and a patch having front and back surfaces and being sized for application to a crotch-adjacent inner-seam area of the waist-clothing, the stay strip being affixed to the back surface and being sized and positioned thereon such that the patch extends beyond the edges of the stay strip, the back surface including a second adhesive thereon which is a heat-activated adhesive such that, when the patch is applied to the waist-clothing with iron-on heat and pressure, the patch adheres at its back surface to the waist-clothing, thereby to secure the stay strip in position to prevent the waist-clothing from riding up and bunching in the crotch area.
