Application December 18, 1944, Serial No. 568,715
My invention relates to a new and useful pocket construction for trousers and more particularly the back pocket of such garments, and has for one of its objects to provide a novel structure and means for assembling the same in a garment.
Another object of this invention is to bind the edges of the pocket with tape to provide strong, neat and clean seams resulting in a highly desirable pocket construction.
Another object of the invention is to enclose the edges of the pocket in the fold of the tape to secure said tape in place and close the meeting edges of the pocket by one stitching operation.
A further object of the invention is to produce a strong and durable back pocket from a piece of material folded upon itself and having its side meeting edges and the folded edge bound with tape.
With the above and other objects in view this invention consists of the details of construction and combination of elements hereinafter set forth and then designated by the claims.
In order that those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains may understand how to make and use the same, I will describe its construction in detail, referring by numerals to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof, in which:
Fig. l is a back view of a pair of trousers having the back pockets therein.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the inside of the trousers in the region of one pocket.
Fig. 3 is a further enlarged vertical sectional view of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a View, on a reduced scale, of the pocket prior to being folded into shape and bound with the tape.
In carrying out my invention as herein embodied 5 represents the garment material of a pair of trousers 6 having one or more back pocket openings l each leading to a pocket 8 of novel and strong construction suspended on the inside of the garment.
When the pocket opening is formed in the garment material, a strengthening strip 9 is sewn to a portion IB of the severed material by the stitches ll and both the strip 9 and the portion of garment material turned in and upward as shown in Fig. 3. Another portion l2 of the severed material is turned in and downward.
Prior to turning in the portions of the garment provided by the making of the slit for the formation of the pocket opening, a strip of pocket material I3 having a slit is placed on the obverse 2 Claims. (Cl. 2-248) face of the garment material with the slit ln the pocket material registering with the pocket opening of the garment material.
When the portions l0 and I2 of the garment material are turned in, similar portions I4 and l5 of the pocket material are turned in with said garment material turned in portions. A finishing strip i6 having one edge previously sewn to the pocket material by the stitches Il, is placed against the downwardly turned in portions of the garment and pocket materials in the region of the pocket opening and all sewn together by the stitches I8.
A facing strip I9 is sewn along one edge to what will be the inside face of the outer wall of the pocket by stitches 2U so that when the pocket material is folded upon itself at approximately the line 2l, Fig. 4, said facing strip will be opposite the pocket opening and is finally sewn in place along with the strengthening strip 9, the upwardly turned in portions of the pocket and garment materials and the outer wall of the pocket by the stitches 22.
The pocket material after being folded upon itself may be kept in the shape produced or the corners contiguous the fold may be cut to arcuate shape as preferred. In either case a piece of tape or binding 23 is folded over the side meeting edges and the fold of the pocket material so as to completely enclose both the side and folded edges and said tape is fixed in place by the stitches 24 thus completing the pocket 8. The stitches 24 may be a single or double row passing through both layers of the tape as well as both layers of the pocket material or one row may pass through the tape and pocket material and the other row through only said pocket material. In either event, the stitching is done in one operation so that the tape is secured in place and the open sides of the pocket closed at the same time in one sewing operation.
The pocket material that projects above the row of stitches 22 may be further sewn in place along with the waist band 25 or lining of the garment by the stitches 26.
From the foregoing it will be apparent that I have not only provided an exceedingly strong pocket construction but also one in which any raw edges are completely covered to prevent ravelling thereof.
Of course I do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction herein shown and described as these may be varied within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having described my invention what I claim as new and useful is:
1. The method of making a garment pocket which comprises placing a double length of pocket material on a garment, slitting both the pocket material and garment and folding said pocket material upwardly upon itself, stitching the upturned portion of the pocket material to the garment above the slit, and stitching a strip of tape over the side edges of the pocket material to close the pocket.
2. The method of making a garment pocket which comprises placing a double length of pocket
