Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) members Terry R. Brassfield and Steven L. James display the Mini-Belts they invented. After years of helplessly watching their patients at South Beach Psychiatric Center use whatever means at their disposal to hold their pants up, often unsuccessfully, they put their minds together with a nurse at the center and devised a kinder, safer way for patients to keep their pants and dignity in place. They recently obtained a Patent Pending trademark and related business certificates for the Mini-Belts and Tenoren Technologies L.L.C. The CSEA is New York State's largest union.
