ALBERT BEE CARSON, ()F PAPINSVILLE,MISSOURI.
SAFETY-POCKET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 243,506, dated June 28, 1881.
Application filed March 23, 1881. (No model.)
1 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT B. CARSON, a citizen of the United States, and residing in Papinsville, in the county of Bates and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Safety-Pockets, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to furnish a pocket which can neither be picked nor cut open without the knowledge of the wearer, and which may be put in the place of the ordinary pockets in coats, vests, pantaloons, or other articles of wearing-apparel.
My invention consists in providing a pocket with a mouth-piece consisting of two plates of steel or other suitable material, the main or back plate having its extremities slotted and bent upon itself, and the front plate having its extremities fitted to slide in the slots of said back plate, and provided with T-shaped ends to prevent it slipping from place.
It further consists in quilting rubber strips lengthwise and crosswise of the front of the pocket.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section.
The front of the pocket A is composed of two pieces of cloth or other suitable material, between which strips of rubbera are quilted lengthwise and crosswise, and is sewed to the leather covering ofthe front plate, B. The extremities of the front plate, extending beyond the leather covering, work in slots 0 in the bent ends of the back plate, D, and are held in place by the Tends E. The ends of the back plate, D, are bent upon the latter and tempered, if of steel, in that position, so as to form springs to keep the pocket closed, which is its normal condition, while the slots in the springs, in conjunction with the T-shaped ends of the front plate, allow the spreading apart of the plates to give access to the pocket.
The operation of the invention is as follows: When'the mouth of the pocket is forced open the front plate draws forward the extremities of the back plate, while the extremities of the front plate slide through-the slots in said back plate until stopped by the T-shaped ends coming in contact with the sides of said slots. When released, the spring action of the back plate causes the fron t plate to instantly resume its first position and shut closely the pocket. The rubber bands a are used to prevent the pocket from being out without the knowledge of the wearer, such bands being practically so difficult and requiring such force to sever that it is impossible to cut them without giving warning to the wearer.
I am aware that safety-pockets are not broadly new; but heretofore the bodies of the pockets have been protected by metal chains, which are undesirable, not only because of their weight, but also because of their liability to rust and stain the clothes. Ido not therefore claim, broadly, a safety-pocket but What I do claim is- 1. Asafety-pocket constructed, substantially as described, of the front, A, having rubber strips aquiltedlengthwise and crosswise there- 'in, the plate D, provided with bent springing
