ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A novel suspender fastener is disclosed. The fastener comprises a first lever, a second lever pivotally connected to the first lever in a manner so as to form a fulcrum therebetween with the first and second levers having a first pair of mutually proximate end portions longitudinally spaced from the fulcrum, and at least one of the first and second levers having garment- engageable means thereon at the first pair of end portions for securing a garment thereto. That garment-engageable means comprises a plurality of teeth with each respective one of the plurality of teeth being disposed toward the other one of the first and second levers, and with each respective one of the plurality of teeth being further disposed toward the fulcrum. A ratchet is provided and the first and second levers have a second pair of mutually proximate end portions longitudinally spaced in distal relation to the first pair of end portions with at least one of the first and second levers having ratchetable means thereon at the second pair of end portions engageable by the ratchet for variably urging the second pair of end portions apart and thereby variably urging the first pair of end portions together. The ratchetable means comprises a plurality of serrations with each respective one of the serrations being laterally spaced relatively farther from the other one of the first and second levers than an adjacent one of the serrations which is longitudinally spaced relatively farther from the fulcrum than the one of the serrations, and the ratchet comprises rotatable-catch means for engaging at least one of the plurality of serrations. The rotation of the rotatable-catch means through a predetermined angle about an axis transversely disposed intermediate the first and second levers thereby causes the catch means to disengage from at least one of the plurality of serrations for progressively urging the first pair of end portions together.
