BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

This invention relates generally to the field of clothing and more particularly to a system and method for removably coupling a clear pocket to clothing to hold pictures for display on the clothing.

(2) Background of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to displays and, more specifically, to a garment display frame that provides apparel with at least one display frame releasably incorporated into said apparel where the apparel has one part of a mating pair of fasteners and the display frame has the other part. The display frame has a border mounted to the edge of the display frame with a plastic transparent or translucent receptacle bound thereby having a pocket so that the user can insert a visual display of their choosing therein.
The apparel display frame has a receptacle that can be incorporated into any garment so that a user can selectively insert any picture, image, message, graphic or artwork as desired. The garment has a first part of a mating fastener while the display frame has the second part incorporated therein whereby the display frame can be removed prior to washing the garment. As illustrated, the garment has at least one display frame of any shape thereon that can occur on any part of the garment forming an integral part therewith.
However, none of the known prior art teaches of a removable pocket, having multiple layers or dividers therein, that also provide for a traditional pocket for placing items there behind the clear pocket display.

SUMMARY

In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of apparatus to degrade pollution percent or like in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved apparatus to provide for a removable pocket, having multiple layers or dividers therein, that also provide for a traditional pocket for placing items there behind the clear pocket display. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved perfume applicator clear pocket with all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a garment display frame comprising: the garment having sleeves, a collar, front and back surfaces, the frame being transparent and removably mounted on a front or back surface of the garment and forming a receptacle on the garment; a window supported by and in contact with the frame exterior to the and adjacent the receptacle whereas a visual display item is contained within the receptacle and visible through the window; the frame having a border peripheral to the window, said border having a front surface adjacent to the window and disposed about a periphery of said window and a rear surface opposite the front surface; an access opening providing access to the receptacle; a plurality of fasteners for removably affixing the frame to an outer surface of the garment, each of the plurality of fasteners having a first portion mounted on an outer rear surface of the border, a second portion secured on a front surface of the garment, and a separate reinforcement portion mounted on an inner surface of the garment so as to align with each of the second portions; and wherein the plurality of fasteners are selected from the group consisting of snaps, mating hook and loop fasteners, zippers, and buttons.
Another feature that may be part of the invention is to have multiple dividers in the removable pocket to enable to hold the holding of pictures that are not viewable but may be moved to the front window to now be viewable, and allow the previously viewable picture to be placed in a pocket section that is further away from the front window.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated.
Numerous objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon a reading of the following detailed description of presently preferred, but nonetheless illustrative, embodiments of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of descriptions and should not be regarded as limiting.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To further clarify various aspects of some example embodiments of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof that are illustrated in the appended drawing. It is appreciated that the drawing depicts only illustrated embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawing in which:

FIG. 1 is perspective view of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The embodiments of the present disclosure described below are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure to the precise forms disclosed in the following detailed description. Rather, the embodiments are chosen and described so that others skilled in the art may appreciate and understand the principles and practices of the present disclosure.
The following embodiments and the accompanying drawings, which are incorporated into and form part of this disclosure, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention. To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects of the invention are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the invention can be employed and the subject invention is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents. Other advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
This section summarizes some aspects of the present disclosure and briefly introduces some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions in this section as well as in the abstract or the title of this description may be made to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, the abstract and the title. Such simplifications or omissions are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure nor imply any limitations.
Turning now to FIG. 1, the present invention 10 discloses a display frame 12 attachable to dungaree apparel 14. The apparel display frame 12 has a frame border 16 and a receptacle 24 behind the plastic window 18 so that a user can selectively insert any picture, image, message, graphic or artwork as desired. The apparel 14 and display frame 12 have mating fastener elements 26 whereby the display frame 12 can be removed prior to washing the apparel 14. As illustrated, the apparel 14 has at least one display frame 12 of any shape thereon that can occur on any part of the apparel 14 forming an integral part therewith.
Although the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 1 illustrates a single pocket it is contemplated to include multiple dividers in the single pocket. Whereby, with multiple dividers placed like in an according accordion folder as used in portable files with separated dividers to divide multiple documents, it is now possible to have multiple pictures stored in a single pocket, so that a user may now move the picture that is on the outer most viewing position and place it in another pocket or further back in the divider order, and select a picture that was in a further back divider section and place it in the prominent viewable pocket section. In other words, there are multiple picture dividers to store un-viewable pictures that will be moved to the front portion where the picture is now viewable.
Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any arrangement, which is calculated to achieve the same purpose, may be substituted for the specific embodiment shown. This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the present invention.
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
