Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/160,280, filed May 12, 2015. The contents of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/160,280, filed May 12, 2015, are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
- 1. Field of the Disclosure
- The present disclosure relates to a garment having a pocket, for example, a garment that is to be used at a beach or pool such as a swimsuit or bathing suit (“swimwear”). More particularly, the present disclosure relates to swimwear that has a brief body and/or bottom with a waistband that has a pocket formed therein with the pocket sized to hold a mobile phone in a manner so that the mobile phone cannot be discernable when a person simply views the pocket. The present disclosure relates to a garment that has the waistband with hidden pocket attached to a skirt or a short but does not have a brief attached.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Swimwear, in particular, bathing suits that include a brief as a bottom, do not allow a wearer to store an item such as a mobile phone in the bathing suit. Mobile phones, for example, the iPhone® and Samsung® Galaxy, are heavily relied upon by owners. For reasons such as emergencies and as a theft deterrent mobile phone owners commonly need to be in close proximity to their mobile phones. Some wearers place the mobile phone on a shoulder strap of a bathing suit, or next to the breast. This leads to visibility of the mobile phone, which can increase vulnerability of the wearer to theft of the mobile phone. Further, it is undesirable due to health concerns, whether real or perceived, such as breast cancer. Similarly, it is sometimes also necessary to secure a wallet for the same reasons.
- The current trend in mobile phones is that mobile phones are increasing in size. Accordingly, existing garment pockets cannot hold the newest mobile phones, let alone the newest mobile phone that includes a protective case surrounding the mobile phone.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a garment that is a brief having a pocket sized to securely hold a mobile phone and to obfuscate the contour of the mobile phone to deter theft.
- The present disclosure provides a garment for use on a beach, such as, for example, swimwear, having a pocket.
- The present disclosure also provides such a garment in which the pocket is constructed to obfuscate the contour of the item contained therein so that theft is deterred. The pocket can alternatively hold a personal care item in which the identity is obfuscated in the pocket.
- The present disclosure further provides such a garment with a pocket in which the garment has a brief body and/or bottom with a waistband that has the pocket formed therein.
- The present disclosure further provides such a garment that includes a body of fabric forming a garment body and a waistband connected to the garment body. The waistband has a first edge that is also connected to the garment body and a second edge opposite to the first edge. The waistband has a first layer of material and a second layer of material that are connected both at the first edge and the second edge and a waistband depth defined by the distance between the first edge and the second edge. The waistband has a pocket that is further formed by a third layer of material and a fourth layer of material. The pocket has an opening that accesses a space between the third layer of material and the fourth layer of material and a pocket depth between the opening and the first edge. The waistband depth is greater than the pocket depth.
- The present disclosure further provides such a garment that includes a body of fabric forming a garment body and a waistband connected to the garment body. The waistband has a first edge that is also connected to the garment body and a second edge opposite to the first edge. The waistband has a first layer of material and a second layer of material that are connected both at the first edge and the second edge and a waistband depth defined by the distance between the first edge and the second edge. The waistband has a pocket that is further formed by a third layer of material. The pocket has an opening that accesses a space between the third layer of material and one of the first layer of material and the second layer of material and has a pocket depth between the opening and the first edge. The waistband depth is greater than the pocket depth.
- The present disclosure also provides a garment that includes a garment body and a skirt connected to the garment body. The skirt has a skirt body, and a pocket connected to the skirt body by side seams. The side seams are on opposite sides of the pocket. The pocket, the side seams and the skirt body are layered together to form a fold so that opposite sides of the fold are connected by a bottom seam. The skirt has a skirt body, and one or two pockets connected to the skirt body by side seams.
- The present disclosure further provides a garment that includes a brief body and shorts connected to the brief body, with the shorts having a shorts body, and a pocket connected to the shorts body by side seams on opposite sides of the pocket. The pocket, the side seams and the shorts body are layered together to form a fold so that opposite sides of the fold are connected by a bottom seam.
- The above-described and other advantages and features of the present disclosure will be appreciated and understood by those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, drawings, and appended claims.

The Samsung® Galaxy s5 has a length of 5.59 inches and a depth of 2.85 inches.Pocket 140 can also be used to hold a wallet or another item, e.g., lipstick, baby wipes, feminine products in which discretion is desirable.Waistband 130 andpocket 140 are of a material that is resilient and a construction that allows expansion to accommodate phones of different sizes and protective case for the mobile phone. -
Pocket 140 is sized so that an object contained therein is obfuscated. Obfuscated means that the object to item in the pocket cannot have its contours or an exact shape precisely determined by another person viewing the garment when worn by the wearer. Preferably, the obfuscation is such that the other person cannot even determine that an object is in the pocket when the garment is worn by the wearer. -
Pocket 140 is sized to balance an amount of slack in thematerial forming pocket 140 to hide the object inside and a compressive force desired in thematerial forming pocket 140 of active wear and/or swim wear.Pocket 140 is made of a resilient material so that length L can be stretched to between 4 inches and 10 inches and depth D can be stretched to between 3 inches and 7 inches. - Referring to
FIG. 2 ,waistband 130 preferably has a vertical-like seam 134.Seam 134 connects ends of two rectangular shaped pieces of fabric that formwaistband 130. The stitching ofseam 134 is between two plies of material that formwaistband 130. - Referring to
FIGS. 3 and 4 ,waistband 130 has a first ply ofmaterial 141 and a second ply ofmaterial 142 connected by aseam 143, as shownFIG. 4 .Pocket 140 has anopening 155 between first ply ofmaterial 141 and second ply ofmaterial 142.Opening 155 extends along less than the entirety of length L ofpocket 140.Opening 155 has a length LO that is between 3.5 inches and 7.5 inches. In a preferred embodiment,pocket 140 has a third ply ofmaterial 144 and a fourth ply ofmaterial 145. Third ply ofmaterial 144 is connected to second ply ofmaterial 142 by aseam 146. Fourth ply ofmaterial 145 is connected to first ply ofmaterial 141 by aseam 147. Third ply ofmaterial 144 and fourth ply ofmaterial 145 are connected together byseam 148.Seam 148 is connected tofirst edge 150 ofwaistband 130.Brief body 110 has aseam 111 in acrotch area 107 connecting alining panel 121, or a front panel ofmaterial 120, as shown inFIG. 3 andFIG. 5 , and a back panel ofmaterial 124 ofbrief body 110. As shown inFIG. 3 andFIG. 5 , front panel ofmaterial 120 is connected to liningpanel 121. Liningpanel 121 that is a control lining material is made of a material in Table 1C below. Liningpanel 121 can alternatively be replaced with a material that is made of a material having 100 percent nylon or polyester as provided in Table 1D below so that it does not provide the control characteristics so that liningpanel 121 is a non-control lining panel. Another alternative, although less preferable, is liningpanel 121 can be omitted entirely and front panel ofmaterial 120 will serve the purpose as a liner. - Referring to
FIGS. 5 and 6 , front panel ofmaterial 120 and back panel ofmaterial 124 ofbrief body 110 are connected on opposite sides byseams panel 121 extends betweenseam material 120 insidebrief body 110 and, significantly, provides support and shaping to a wearer's abdomen. - Referring to Tables 1A-1D,
waistband 130, front panel ofmaterial 120 and back panel ofmaterial 124 ofbrief body 110, andpocket 140 are made of a material having elasticity or stretch.Waistband 130 is made with two plies of fabric, namely, first ply ofmaterial 141 and second ply ofmaterial 142. Front panel ofmaterial 120 and back panel ofmaterial 124 ofbrief body 110 are each made with a single ply fabric.Pocket 140 is made with two plies of fabric, namely, third ply ofmaterial 144 and fourth ply ofmaterial 145 forming 4 plies of fabric with first ply ofmaterial 141 and second ply ofmaterial 142 ofwaistband 130. Further properties of the material ofwaistband 130, liningpanel 121 that is a control lining panel, liningpanel 121 that is a non-control lining panel,pocket 140, andbrief body 110 are found in Tables 1A-1D below. All the data in Tables 1A-1 D below refers to stretch and modulus measured in a direction that extends betweenside seams arrows 1600 inFIG. 1 . - First ply of
material 141 and second ply ofmaterial 142 ofwaistband 130 provides two ply of fabric so elongation percentage (%) is shorter and modulus is higher than each of front panel ofmaterial 120 and back panel ofmaterial 124 ofbrief body 110. -
Pocket 140 inwaistband 130 has four ply of fabric, namely, third ply ofmaterial 144 and fourth ply ofmaterial 145 with first ply ofmaterial 141 and second ply ofmaterial 142 ofwaistband 130 so that the elongation % is shorter and the modulus is higher than each of front panel ofmaterial 120 and back panel ofmaterial 124 ofbrief body 110. -

waistband 130 andpocket 140 provide support of the upper abdomen of the wearer ofbrief 100 and shaping to the wearer's body, and the four (4) ply of fabric ofpocket 140, which has two (2) ply of fabric on each side of the contents, minimize or hide the contents ofpocket 140 creating a more desirable appearance. Obfuscating or hiding the contents ofpocket 140, such as a mobile phone, from view of another and does not affect the aesthetics of the brief 100. Similarly,pocket 140 can hold a wallet and theft is deterred, since another party cannot discern the contents of the pocket, and thus not alert potential thieves that the wallet is in the pocket. The four ply of fabric ofpocket 140 minimize protrusions caused by the contents ofpocket 140 so thatpocket 140 blends with the rest ofbrief 100.Pocket 140 inbrief 100 allows a wearer to place their mobile phone by the wearer's torso, rather than by the breast which is a concern, whether real or perceived, for breast cancer.Pocket 140 inwaistband 130 also prevents theft due to lack of visibility of the contours of themobile phone 170 by keepingmobile phone 170 close to a wearer's body. The stretch ofwaistband 130,brief body 110 andpocket 140 allows for changes in the shape of mobile phone designs from present dimensions. The stretch capabilities ofpocket 140 allowmobile phone 170 to “lock in” due to being sandwiched in between stretch fabrics that surround the mobile phone.Resilient material 117 adds to this to “lock in” to maintainmobile phone 170 inpocket 140. This construction ofpocket 140 minimizes for the possible falling out of themobile phone 170.FIG. 1 showsmobile phone 170 in a horizontal position inpocket 140.Mobile phone 170 can be rotated 90 degrees to be inpocket 140 in a vertical position. The stretch capabilities ofpocket 140 allowmobile phone 170 to “lock in” in the vertical position due to being sandwiched in between stretch fabrics that surround the mobile phone andresilient material 117.Mobile phone 170 can be similarly placed in the vertical position in all of the pockets described herein. -
Pocket 140 can have a closure such as a snap, button, Velcro®, zip lock, magnet, zipper, or other (not shown).Pocket 140 can have a waterproof liner or a water resistant liner with a closure, such as, for example, a welded, bonded or fused on zipper, to maintain a dry interior ofpocket 140. The material ofbrief 100 can have a DWR (durable water repellent) coating added to the fabrics to make them water-resistant. Antimicrobial can be added to the material ofbrief 100, and, in particular, to liningpanel 121 orcrotch area 107.Pocket 140 can be water resistant, and possibly waterproof. - Referring to
FIGS. 7-12 , another exemplary embodiment of a brief of the present disclosure is generally referred to by 200.Brief 200 is the same asbrief 100, however, as shown inFIG. 8 , brief 200 has aseam 218 connecting two separate pieces of material of back panel ofmaterial 224.Seam 218 connects two separate pieces of the material of back panel ofmaterial 224.

FIG. 46 ,pocket 1140 has pocket ply of material 1143 to provide obfuscation of the contents inpocket 1140. This obfuscation also acts as a theft deterrent. -
Resilient material 1118 is connected to pocket ply ofmaterial 1143 and forms a “lock in” feature to a top ofpocket 1140 to hold the contents and, in particular, a mobile phone insidepocket 1140 more securely. This feature also allows for phones with or without cases, to be held inpocket 1140 more securely.Opening 1155 is on the outside ofwaistband 1130 to provide an “easier in-easier out” feature aspocket 1140 is on outside ofwaistband 1130 with more accessibility to retrieve contents and put away contents while still maintaining some camouflage from view by pocket ply ofmaterial 1143. -
Pocket 1140 can have a closure, such as a snap or zipper (not shown).Pocket 1140 can have a water resistant liner or a waterproof liner with a closure, such as, for example, a bonded, fused, or welded on zipper, to maintain a dry interior ofpocket 1140.

Moreover, opening 1155 is hidden from view in brief 1200 when on the body of the wearer since depth D8 of opening 1155 onpocket 1140 is less than depth D9 ofwaistband 1130. This feature provides interior or inside (against the body) pocket entry throughopening 1155 intopocket 1140 that further conceals contents ofpocket 1140, e.g., phone/valuables. This “Hidden Pocket Entry” is completely hidden from the outside ofwaistband 1130.Resilient material 1119 of brief 1200 also forms a “dead bolt action” feature at a top ofwaistband 1130 that further ensures that the contents ofpocket 1140 belowresilient material 1119 onwaistband 1130 will not fall out. This feature created by yet another row of elastic that simultaneously holds the top ofwaistband 1130 to a waistline of the wearer when stretched onto the wearer's body as well as around the body, places further tension on an area abovepocket 1140 and withresilient material 1118 creates what can be referred to as “dead bolt action” or a second dynamic “lock in” effect or “double lock in effect”. -
