DUSTPROOF WATCH IE'OCKET.

Application filed February 19, 1921?. Serial No. 169,535.

permit the discharge of dust or dirt or other foreign matter, to prevent the same from accumulating within the pocket, thereby eliminating damage or injury to the contents of the pocket, particularly a watch when carried therein.

Another object of the invention is the pro vision of a pocket construction of this character, wherein the body thereof is made up in a novel manner so that accumulation of dirt, dust or other foreign matter will be eliminated, yet the pocketwill retain its cntent without possibility of the loss there- A further object of the invention is the provision of a pocket construction of this character, which is simple in construction, thoroughly reliable and efficient in its purpose, strong, durable, and inexpensive in manufacture and installation.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing showing the preferred embodiments of the invention, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a fragmentary elevation of a garment, of trouser type, showing the pocket construction mounted therein and made in accordance with the invention, the garment being broken away to disclose in detail the pocket construction.

Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a side elevation of the pocket construction, a portion being broken away.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary sectional view on the line 4-4; of Figure 3 looking in the direction of the arrow.

Figure 5 is a sectional view on the line 55 of Figure 3 looking in the direction of the arrow. 1

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing.

Referring to the drawing in detail, A designates generally a portion of trousers or other like garment having the usual inner lining B at the waist line thereof, while cut into the portion A at the proper point is the customary slit C, providing the usual mouth for a watch or change pocket D, the latter being hereinafter more fully described in detail.

The improved pocket I) is formed of opposed or confronting wall forming sections and 11, respectively, these being of identical shape and made from fabric or cloth ordinarily empioyed for making pockets. The

sections

10 and 11 at their upper edges are stitched or otherwise secured at 12 to the portion A, whereby the slit C will serve as the mouth or entrance opening to the pocket I) as will be clearly apparent.

The

sections

10 and 11 at opposite side marginalportions are inturned and stitched together at 13 for the joining of said sections to each other and in this manner forming a continuous wall for the pocket D.

Carried the lower ends of the

sections

10 and 11 is a folded tape section 14-, which at its ends is inwardly tucked or folded and stitched at 15 for the closing of the ends of the tape section 1 1. This tape section 14 constitutes the bottom closure for the pocket 1) and the same in opposite faces thereof and at the extreme botton'i along its fold line is provided with a, series of openings or holes 16. 17 and 18, respectively, these being formed by drop stitching of the fabric tape and constitute discharge ports or openings for dirt, dust or other foreign matter accumulating within the pocket D in the use thereof.

The pocket 1), has along its side edges adjacent the

stitching

13, and 15, rows of stitching E26, which prevents the breaking out of the pocket. Also the

holes

16, 17 and 18, are reinforced by lock stitching 27, to prevent the raveling or increasing in their size during the use of the pocket.

It will also be apparent that by reason of the pocket construction due to the reinforcement at the bottom thereof, the said pocket will have greater life and wearing qualities than the ordinary pocket devoid of any reinforcement at the bottom thereof.

From the foregoing it is thought that the construction and manner of use of the pocket, which use is in the ordinary manner,

tit)

will be clearly understood and therefore a more extended explanation has been omitted.

lVhat is claimed is 1. A pocket construction comprising a pair of opposed, correspondingly shaped wall forming sections having the side marginal portions thereof inturned in opposed relation, a row of stitching securing the opposed inturned marginal portions together, a folded tape having its folds overlapping and projecting from one end of each section and further having the ends of the folds inturned and secured together. said tape provided with spaced perforations in each fold thereof above the bend formed by the folds. said perforations arranged outwardly of said ends of saidsections. said tape further formed with spaced perforations at said bend, and means for securing each of the folds of the tape to one of said sections above the first mentioned perforations.

2. A pocket construction comprising a pair of opposed, correspondingly shaped wall forming sections having the side marginal portions thereof inturned in opposed relation, a row of stitching securing the opposed inturned marginal portions together, a folded tape having its folds overlapping and projecting from one end of each section and further having the ends of the folds inturned and secured together, said tape provided with spaced perforations in each fold thereof above the bend formed by the folds. said perforations arranged outwardly of said ends of said sections, said tape further formed with spaced perforations at said bend, and means for securing each of the folds of the tape to one of said sections above the first mentioned perforations. and a pair of spaced rows of stitching, each row extending through said sections and the folds of the tape inwardly with respect to said intnrned side marginal portions of the sections and intnrned ends of the folds.

In testimony whereof. we atlix our signatures hereto.
