Description

The invention relates to a garment with an integrated pocket.

It is common to equip garments with pockets. In particular, jackets and trousers are almost always provided with pockets, with a wide variety of embodiments being known. For example, pockets can be sewn onto a garment or inserted into a garment. The open side of the bag, which gives access to the bag, may be exposed, covered by a flap, or closable with a button or zipper.

The present case is about bags that can be closed with a zipper. Such an embodiment has the advantage that objects are reliably prevented from falling out of the pocket when the zipper is closed and that a zipper is easy to open and close. Thus, one is dealing with a particularly practical embodiment of a closable pocket in a garment. However, the reach into the pocket is limited by the length of the zipper. Since the slide of the zip fastener in particular is generally in the open access area of the bag when the bag is open, if it were without a zip fastener, the pocket opening is actually reduced by the presence of a zip fastener. This can be undesirable, because sometimes it's a matter of a few millimeters if you want to put objects in a pocket of a garment. In the case of workwear and outdoor clothing in particular, such losses in comfort are extremely undesirable. Getting caught when removing or inserting objects should be avoided.

The object of the invention is to provide a garment with an integrated pocket which is particularly practical to use and which has a particularly large gripping area, the pocket itself being of simple construction and uncomplicated to manufacture. It is also desirable to be able to use standardized zippers with the garments of the present invention.

• - einen ersten Reißverschluss mit einem zugeordneten ersten Schieber, einem ersten Ende des ersten Reißverschlusses und einem zweiten Ende des ersten Reißverschlusses und
• - einen zweiten Reißverschluss mit einem zugeordneten zweiten Schieber, einem ersten Ende des zweiten Reißverschlusses und einem zweiten Ende des zweiten Reißverschlusses,
• - wobei die Reißverschlüsse in der Weise nicht parallel angeordnet sind, dass die ersten Enden der Reißverschlüsse benachbart sind und die zweiten Enden der Reißverschlüsse nicht benachbart sind,
• - wobei die Tasche mittels der Reißverschlüsse geöffnet und geschlossen werden kann und
• - wobei in einem vollständig geschlossenen Zustand der Tasche der erste Schieber an dem ersten Ende des ersten Reißverschlusses angeordnet ist und der zweite Schieber an dem ersten Ende des zweiten Reißverschlusses angeordnet ist, so dass die Schieber in dem vollständig geschlossenen Zustand der Tasche benachbart sind und
• - wobei die Tasche über die Gesamtlänge der Reißverschlüsse einen einheitlichen Öffnungsbereich aufweist.

The invention relates to a garment with an integrated pocket, the pocket comprising:

• - a first zipper with an associated first slider, a first end of the first zipper and a second end of the first zipper, and
• - a second zipper with an associated second slider, a first end of the second zipper and a second end of the second zipper,
• - wherein the zippers are arranged non-parallel such that the first ends of the zippers are adjacent and the second ends of the zippers are non-adjacent,
• - the bag can be opened and closed by means of the zippers and
• - wherein in a fully closed state of the bag the first slider is arranged at the first end of the first zipper and the second slider is arranged at the first end of the second zipper so that the sliders are adjacent in the fully closed state of the bag and
• - the bag having a uniform opening area over the entire length of the zippers.

Due to the presence of two zippers, there are several ways to open the bag. Initially, only the first zipper can be opened. It is also possible to open only the second zipper. Finally, both zippers can be opened. With the first two variants, i.e. opening a single zipper, the possibility of accessing the bag hardly differs from conventional bags. However, the user can choose how to access the bag. For example, if one of the zippers is longer than the other, it will likely tend to unzip the short zipper on smaller items, while the long zipper will definitely unzip large items that cannot fit through the short zipper. In the third variant, namely opening both zips, a particularly large bag opening can be made available, because when the zips are opened, the slides of the zips are moved in different directions, so that the bag has an opening area over the entire length of the abutting zips.

In this sense, it is provided that when the bag is in a partially open state, the first slider and/or the second slider is/are not arranged at the first end of the associated zip fastener.

Furthermore, it is useful that in a fully opened state of the bag, the first slider is arranged on the second end of the first zipper and the second slider on the second end of the second zipper.

The item of clothing is advantageously further developed in that the first zipper runs essentially vertically when the item of clothing is worn by a person standing. The bag can be opened via the first zipper so that a side access is available.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the second zipper runs essentially horizontally when the item of clothing is worn by a person standing. The bag is opened via the second zipper in the same way as you are used to from most conventional clothing. Access to the pocket is from above. Objects are unlikely to fall out even when the second zipper is open.

In particular, it can be provided that the second zipper runs in a straight line and encloses an angle of more than 90 degrees with the first zipper. The zippers do not have to run at a strict 90° angle to each other. Rather, an obtuse angle can be enclosed between the zip fasteners, as a result of which the inside of the bag can be larger than with zip fasteners arranged perpendicular to one another.

The invention is usefully further developed in that a cover is provided for at least one of the zippers.

In particular, it can be provided that a cover is provided for the second zipper. If the second zipper is a vertical or near-vertical zipper, the cover will prevent moisture from entering the zipper from above. The first zipper, when positioned vertically, is less likely to be infiltrated by large amounts of liquid, since far less moisture running down the garment from above comes in contact with the vertical zipper.

In this connection it is particularly advantageous that the cover for the second zip fastener also covers an intermediate space between the first zip fastener and the second zip fastener and also partially covers the first zip fastener. In the area in which the sliders abut one another or lie adjacent to each other when the zip fasteners are closed, there is naturally a small gap in conventional zip fasteners, in which area the pocket is not completely closed. This gap is particularly critical when it comes to foreign matter entering the pocket. Consequently, it is useful that the cover also covers this gap.

Furthermore, it is advantageous that the cover is elastic. This allows the cover to be easily folded away from the zipper so that the zipper covered by the cover can be opened and closed without hindrance.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that both sliders each have a slider handle and that both slider handles or extensions of the slider handles can have an access position in the fully closed state of the bag in which they are not completely covered by the cover. So you don't have to first put your hands under the cover to open a covered zipper, but you can simply grab the slider handle or an extension of the slider handle and open the bag without thinking about the cover. This is particularly important when gloves are worn, which naturally make handling a zipper difficult anyway.

In this connection it is particularly useful that the access positions of the slider handles or extensions of the slider handles are taken when the garment is worn by a standing person and the slider handles or extensions of the slider handles are oriented vertically downwards.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that an outside of the pocket is designed in one piece with at least part of an outside of the item of clothing. In this way, all you can see of the bag are the two zippers and, if applicable, the cover. Seams with which the pocket would be sewn onto the garment are also not required. This makes the bag tight and robust.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, it is provided that the outside of the bag, when the bag is in a fully open state, can be folded away from the garment essentially about an imaginary axis which includes the second end of the first zipper and the second end of the second zipper connects with each other. The outside of the bag is so flexible that it can be folded away. In this way can be measured stow particularly large and bulky objects in the bag on the inside of the bag.

The invention is based on the finding that a garment can be equipped with a practical pocket that can be used in a variety of ways by providing this pocket with two zippers. The zippers are arranged in such a way that when the bag is fully closed, the two sliders of the zippers are adjacent. When the bag is fully opened, the sliders are pushed away from the bag closed position and an extra large bag opening results. Likewise, using a single zipper, the bag can be used like a traditional bag.

The invention will now be explained by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings using a particularly preferred embodiment.

• 1 ein erfindungsgemäßes Kleidungsstück mit zwei integrierten Taschen;

In the following description of the drawings, the same reference symbols designate the same or comparable components.

1 shows a garment 10 according to the invention with two integrated pockets. The item of clothing 10, here a jacket, includes two pockets in the chest area. The pockets are mirror-symmetrical to each other, which is why it is sufficient to describe one of the two pockets. The pocket 12 has an exterior 42 which is integral with the exterior 44 of the garment 10. As shown in FIG. The bag 12 is equipped with two zip fasteners 14, 22, only the first zip fastener 14 being shown in accordance with FIG 1 can be seen, while the second zipper 22 is covered by a cover 30. Both zip fasteners 14, 22 have a slider, with none of the sliders being visible here. Rather, both slides are covered by the cover 30 . Only elements that are directly or indirectly connected to the slider can be seen. A slide handle 34 is only partially covered by the cover 30 . An extension 38 hangs on this slider handle 34. In relation to the second zipper 22, only one extension 40 can be seen. The cover 30 covers the slide and slide handle. Both zippers 14, 22 are in the in 1 state shown closed. Thus the pocket 12 is completely closed. This state is reached when both slides are arranged adjacent to one another. That this is the case can be seen from the adjacent arrangement of the extensions 38, 40 which hang from the slider handles of the zippers 14, 22, respectively.

2 12 shows a zipper arrangement for a garment 10 according to the invention in a partially opened state. Both zippers 14, 22 can be seen in this illustration. While the second zipper 22 is in the same condition as 1 , namely in the closed state, the first zipper 14 is open, in contrast to the state in FIG 1 . In the open state of the first zipper 14, the slider 16 of the first zipper 14 is located at the second end 20 of the first zipper 14. While the first end 18 of the second zipper 14 is adjacent to the first end 26 of the second zipper 22, this is true for the second end 20 of first zipper 14 does not. Thus, the sliders 16, 24 of the two zippers 14, 22 are not adjacent. The second zipper 22 is exposed because the cover 30 is slightly lifted. In addition to the second zip fastener 22 in this state, it also releases an intermediate space 32 between the first zip fastener 14 and the second zip fastener 22 . In addition to the sliders 16, 24 of the first zipper 14 and the second zipper 22, the slider handles 34, 36 and the extensions 38, 40 hanging thereon can also be seen. Overall, with the first zip fastener 14 open and the zip fastener 22 closed, the pocket 12 is in a partially open state. Of course, a quasi-infinite number of partially open states can be realized, namely in which the zip fasteners 14, 22 are in any intermediate states. The zippers 14, 22 are sewn into the garment at a seam 48 in a conventional manner.

3 Figure 12 shows a zipper assembly for a garment 10 according to the present invention in a fully open condition. Here you can see the pocket 12 in a fully open state. Both sliders 16, 24 are located at the non-adjacent second ends 20, 28 of the first zip fastener 14 and the second zip fastener 22, respectively , 22 are folded away, so that the components of the zip fasteners 14, 22 that are associated with one another are no longer adjacent in most areas. The components which are arranged at a distance from one another are characterized in that they are additionally described in the drawing with a lower-case letter a or b, respectively. Thus, the zipper 14 consists of the components 14a, 14b, the zipper 22 consists of the components 22a, 22b, the first ends of the zippers 14, 22 consist of the components 18a, 18b or 26a, 26b and the space between the zippers 14, 22 is identified by reference numerals 32a, 32b. In the present representation according to 3 So you don't look at the outside of the pocket 12, but in the area to the right of the imaginary axis 46 at the inside 50 of the pocket 12.

The so related to the 1 until 3 The bag described in detail is easy to use. In particular, extensions 38, 40, which are directly or indirectly connected to the sliders of the zip fasteners 14, 22, can be reached easily, in particular without folding away the cover 30, which completely covers the second zip fastener 22 and the one space 32 between the zip fasteners 14 , 22 and a part of the first zipper 14 covers. Water flowing down the jacket from the shoulder area is kept away from the second zipper 22 by the cover 30 . The covers 30 of the zip fasteners can also be used for imprints, in particular those of an individual nature, such as company names, trademarks, proper names, telephone numbers, etc.

The features of the invention disclosed in the above description, in the drawings and in the claims can be essential for the realization of the invention both individually and in any combination.
