OVERALL POCKET.

Application filed December 16, 1924. Serial No. 756,311.

This invention relates to overall-pockets and, more particularly, to those adapted for special use in holding a measuring-rule in convenient position on the outer face of the trousers or other desired garment, and the principal object of the invention herein is to provide in addition to said measuring-v rule receptacle or pocket an adjunct or immediately-coupled pocket that forms a substantial and helpful part thereof in order to hold or contain, or to easily accommodate, one or more additional useful articles, such as pencils, screw-drivers, markingehalk, twine and the like that are common for the workman and without interfering in the least with the presence of the said measuring-rule, or, for that matter, any of the articles in the combined pockets, or doublecompartment pocket, interfering materially with each other in either holding or removing them, or inserting them, as desired.

The composition or make-up of the duplex7 pocket by using but two pieces of goods and thus creating such aA form of pocket, by the complete rule and adjunct sections or pocket content-elements herein, will be fully and clearly described hereinafter in connection with the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a fragment of a piece of textile overall-fabric on which is stitched my duplex pocket herein; Fig. 2, a plan view or diagram of the piece of goods forming the rule-section of my duplex or composite pocket; Fig. 3, a plan view or diagram of the piece of goods forming the adjunct part of my duplea7 pocket, auch piece being used in super-posed position upon the lower portion of the said rule-piece in the finished duplex pocket seen in Fig. 1; Fig. 4, a vertical section taken on the dotted-line 4, 4, of Fig. 1 showing very minutely the inanner in which the parts or sectional-elements of the duplex pocket are assembled and attached in their respective places for independent, as well as combined use; and Fig. 5, a horizontal section taken on the dottedline 5, 5, of Fig. 1, showing very clearly how the rule-piece and the adjunct-piece of the two sectional-elements of the duplex pocket herein arel assembled upon and duly stitched to the goods of the garment.

A indicates a fragmentary portion of the garment goods or fabric upon which my cduplex pocket herein is placed and attached for convenient use of the workman wearing said garment.

6 indicates the upper or main sectionalelement of my composite pocket, and 7 the lower or adjunct sectional-element of the said duplex pocket. These two sectionalelements are cut out in the respective outlines shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and, in assembling them for attachment to the outer face of the garment, the upper right-corner 8 of the said main or rule element 6 is folded inwardly on the oblique-line 9, as best seen in Fig. 2, and the upper edge 10 of said adjunct-element 7 is folded inwardly on the horizontal dotted-line 11, as best seen in Fig. Both of these folds are then immediately afterward stitched or hemmed at 9L and 10a, respectively, in place prior to the final easy-attaching of the said two sectionalelements in their next union or entirety to the outer face of the garment, the upper or main part of the adjunct-element 7 being laid or lapped upon the lower part yof the main part of the main or rule element 6, with the eXtreme lower edge of the latter terminatingr a short distance above the bottom of the said adjunct-element 7, as shown at 12 in Fig, 4 and by a dotted-line 12 in Fig. 1. The stitching along the vertical side-edges 13 and 14 and the horizontal top and bottom edges 15 and 16, respectively, is then effected to securely attach the now combined sectional-elements in using place or position on the outer face of the garment, convenient for the workman in holding and handling his tools or articles of multiple use contained in the duplex pocket that has preferably but one bottom, as shown at 17 in both Figs. 1 and 4, that is common alike to the rule and adjunct elements thereof. The curtailed lower edge 12 of the rule-element 6 saves goods and any unnecessary thickening of the lower part of the duplex pocket.

In use, the duplex pocket herein is laid at a slight angle to the perpendicular, as shown in Fig. 1, and as customary in arranging rule-pockets on the outer face of overall trousers, and the rule-element is open at its side, as shown at 18 in Fig. 1, while the adjunct-element is open at its upper edge or top, as seen at 19 in said Fig. 1 and, also, in Fig. 4. The eXtreme horizontal upper edge 15 of the said rule-element is closed so as to form a cap to that pocket, and

llO

thereby prevent rising of the objects or their removal except through the vertically-i slanting side-opening 18.

lt will be readily seen that my duplex pocket is at once very simple, very easily and cheaply made, either out of whole or scrap fabric, as desired, and extremely easy to apply to a new or to an old garment already in use, or the adjunct-element itseli'l taken and applied to the ordinary form of ruleelement that would already be on the garment but with its lower edge hemmed and stitched in secured-place on the garment to form a separate bottom tor the rule and another separate bottom for the additional articles of use for the workman. Uf course, the rule-element, it desired and otherwise expedient, could be continued on down into the lower hem of the adjunct-element and thus provide a partition, as it were, between the two elements clear down to the bottom of the composite pocket.

I claimt l. A composite or' duplex pocket for overalls comprising a main sectional element having a closed horizontal upper end and an outside adjunct sectional element partly superposed or laid upon the lower part of said main sectional element and thence extending downwardly beyond the lower edge of the said main sectional element whereby the said two overlapping :sectional elements are set and attached in assembled-place on the outer face of the garment and a single bottom is provided that is used in common by bot-h of said sectional elements 'herein and lwith an access or inlet side-opening to the main sectional element and, also, with an independentaccess upper-opening to the said adjunct sectional element, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination with a garment, ot a pocket comprising two pocket members secured to the garment in partial superposed relation with the outer of the two pocket members opening at its top and constituting an extension for and the bottom oit' the inner pocket and the inner of the two pockets being closed at its top and opening at its side above the outer pocket.

3. The combination with a garment, ot a compound pocket comprising` a pocket memer secured to the garment at its top, one vertical edge and part ot' its other vertical edge thereby leaving a pocket opening at the upper portion of one vertical edge and a second pocket member arranged over said first pocket and with its upper edge below the pocket opening of said first pocket and extending below the lower edgel ot said iirst pocket and constituting an extension and a bottom for said first pocket.

4. The `combination with a garment, of a composite pocket comprising a pocket member closed at its top and secured to the garment to provide a side pocket opening and an unattached bottom edge and a second pocket member overlapping the lower open end of said tir'st pocket member and secured to the garment at its sides and bottom to provide a top pocket opening and to form a bottom for said first pocket member.
