Zilla'ims.
:l This invention relates to improvements vin garment pockets and 'has particular reference to `pockets for outer garments such a's shirts and jackets.
During the warm -seasons of the year, many workmen wear no coats nor tblouses, l'but work *in what is popularly called the xshirt sleeves. As
an example of `workmen for which this invention is more especially intended, attention is calied ltot-filling station operators; such workmen "frequent-ly collect 'money and are in need Avof a safe and convenientpoclset in which to Vcar-ry the imum resistance to accidental ,-removal.
The above and other objects that -wil-l appear as this description ,proceeds -are obtained by means of a construction and an arrangement of parts x.that will now be described in detail and reference rvfor this .purpose willnotv be had vto the ,accompanying drawing in which the invention has been illustrated, and V in which:
Figure il a front elevational iview :of a man showing a shirt provided With the improved pocket;
Figure 2 is a fragmentary plan View of a portion of a garment showing the double pocket in place thereon, portions being broken away to better disclose the construction;
Figure 3 is a section taken on line 3 3, Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a section taken on line 4 4, Figure 2;
Figure 5 is a fragmentary plan view similar to that shown in Figure 2, in which the greater portion oi the outer pocket material has been removed to show the inner or side opening pocket; and
Figure 6 is a section taken on line 6-6, Figure 2.
Referring now to the drawing, reference numeral le designates a shirt and reference numeral il designates the patch pocket secured thereto and to which this invention relates. In the remaining iigures reference numeral l2 designates the garment material and reference numeral I3 the material of the patch pocket which material may be the same kind as that used for the garment. In the drawing the pocket material i3 has been shown as provided with two pleats I4 forming a boxpleat il 5, which may or rnay :not :be v`used in the actual construction. The pocket material i3 issecured `to the garment material along a vertical side .and the bottom edge by means -of stitching it. The stitching also-extends upwardly along the other vertical side to a `point `designated by numeral il?. The lupper corner of the pocket material is connected with the garment material at IS by means of sui-tablefstitching.
'it will be `observed 'that so `tar as :the :description :has proceeded, the pocket Vvis merely an ordinary patch pocket open Aat the -top and 4openfor substantially half the vheight of the pocket along l:the edge Adesignated lay *reference numeral 1.9. The opening formed by the unstitchedrportion .L9 Lis `the 'throat `or `entrance to the safety pocket which has been designated by reference ,numeral "28. The safety pocket ihaslthe appearance-of `an lelbow, :the convex .edge '2l `thereof being .at the top Y:and the :concave ledge l22 at the bottom. In
this can lbe varied-so yfas to :provide :a more gradual lcurve than that shown. -lt .is also Ipermissible :to
make -the entrance -to .the `pocket .somewhat nar.-
urower, in which lcase the :lower edge @of the :safety pocket can be upwardly slanting falong .the line designated by reference numeral 23.
Referring now to Figure 2, it will be observed that the two side walls of the safety pocket have their edges along the entrance opening secured to the garment member i2 and to the edge of the pocket material i3 by means of stitching. The inner wall member of the safety pocket is secured to the garment material l2 by stitching Z4 and the corresponding edges of the outer safety pocket wall are secured to the corresponding edge of the pocket material I3 by a row of stitching 25. A folded strip of cloth of a different color is interposed between the inner surface of the pocket material i3 and the corresponding edge of the outer wall of the safety pocket. The purpose of strip 2e is to give the parts a finished appearance and since this may be made from clo-th of a different color, it adds an ornamental and pleasing eiect and also serves to give the garment a distinctive appearance that can be employed in the nature of a trade-mark to indicate origin.
The pocket material i3 is unattached to the garment material i2 along the upper horizontal edge and access can therefore be had to the patch pocket through the opening at the top. Access to the safety pocket can only be had through the opening I9 which extends downwardly from the upper edge of the pocket material.
Referring now to Figure 1, it will be evident that due to the fact that the safety pocket opens along a vertical edge, it will be readily accessible without necessitating the awkward position of the arm and hand that is required to permit the ngers to enter the pocket from above.
Referring now again more particularly to Figure 5, attention is called to the peculiar construction of the safety pocket which terminates in that portion which has been designated by reference numeral 2, which is bounded by the upwardly extending edge 28 providing a sacklike recess that serves to keep any objects therein in place.
When the pocket is worn by lling station operators, for example, the safety pocket is very convenient for the purpose of keeping paper and silver money temporarily until it can be deposited in the cash register. The downwardly extending portion of the safety pocket that has been referred to above and designated by reference numeral 2?, although it is easily accessible by inserting a finger of the right hand thereinto in the manner indicated by Figure 1, also makes it practically impossible for the contents of this pocket to accidentally fall out during normal working positions.
This safety feature is further enhanced by the fact that the safety pocket is not attached to the garment cloth or to the outer pocket material I3, thereby permitting it to move freely with respect to the materials between which it is positioned.
From the above description and from the drawing it will be apparent that the double pocket that has been shown and described results in an added convenience to the wearer of a garment thus constructed. The handkerchief, for example, may be inserted in the patch pocket from above and any other articles such as cash or cigaret packages or tools may be inserted in the safety pocket so that it can be readily removed when desired, but which will resist forces tending to remove such material accidentally.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A safety pocket for shirts and the like, consisting of a patch pocket open at the top, one vertical side and the bottom being stitched to the garment, the other vertical side being stitched at its extreme top to the garment and open thence downwardly, for substantially onehalf its length, forming a pocket opening, stitching along the vertical side aforesaid extending from said pocket opening to the bottom stitching, the patch pocket thereby forming a pocket space bounded by said stitchings and a safety pocket of substantially elbow shape having its open end stitched to the garment and the edge portion of the patch material at the pocket opening, said safety pocket being disposed within the pocket space formed by the patch pocket, the convex portion of the safety pocket being towards the top.
2. In a double pocket construction of the patch pocket type, comprising a garment, a substantially rectangular patch positioned thereon with two edges vertical and two horizontal, one vertical edge and the lower horizontal edge being stitched to the garment along their entire length, the other vertical edge being secured for a portion of its length upwardly from the lower edge by stitching and at its top, leaving a pocket opening, a curved, elbow shaped, pocket having its open end secured to the wall of the pocket opening soY that it may be entered through said opening, the convex edge of the pocket being at the top, whereby objects positioned in the pocket will be supported at the lower end thereof and prevented from falling out by the convex inner edge of the pocket.
