Sept. 4, 1962 B, LlPPMAN 3,051,962
POCKET IDENTIFICATION Filed April 27. 1960 INVENTOR. AA/AAD l /P/WA/v Y CP1/i HM United State 3,051,962 POCKET IDENTIFICATION Bernard Lippman, New York, NIY., assignor to B. Lippman, Inc., a corporation of New York Filed Apr. 27, 1960, Ser. No. 25,057 3 Claims. (Ci. 2--247) This invention relates to pocket identification, and more particularly to pocket identification having a removable insert with identifying indicia thereon.
It is an object of this invention to provide a novel pocket identification.
It is another object of this invention to provide a novel pocket identification having a removable insert with identifying indicia thereon.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an article of clothing with a pocket identification which is easy to attach and detach.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
For the purpose of illustrating the invention there is shown in the drawings forms which are presently preferred; it being understood, however, that this invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown.
FIGURE 1 discloses a person wearing an article of clothing on which the novel pocket identification will be attached.
FIGURE 2 discloses a plan view of a pocket and flap with the novel pocket identification inserted therebetween.
FIGURE 3 shows the pocket of FIGURE 2 with the flap unbuttoned.
FIGURE 4 discloses the fiap of FIGURE 3 unbuttoned and with the identification insert detached.
FIGURE 5 is a view partly in section taken along the lines 5-5 of FIGURE 4.
FIGURE 6 is another embodiment of applicants invention with the flap buttoned to the pocket.
FIGURE 7 is a plan view of the pocket of FIGURE 6 with the flap unbuttoned.
FIGURE 8 is a exploded view of the pocket in FIGURE 7 with the identification insert detached.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, where like numerals indicate like elements, there is shown in FIGURE 1 a person wearing the shirt generally designated by numeral 10.
It will be seen that the shirt 10 is of conventional construction having pockets 12 and 14 thereon, each pocket having a fiap which is buttoned to its respective pocket. Applicants identification insert may be attached to either pocket 12 or pocket 14. Since each of the pockets` 12 and 14 are identical, only pocket 12 will be discussed in detail.
The fiap 16 is attached to the shirt 10 by a line of stitching along one side thereof. 'Ihe flap 16, as is conventional in the art, is composed of two plies of material and is provided with a buttonhole 18 which cooperates with button 50 on the pocket 12 to hold the fiap in closed disposition. It will be seen that the flap 16 has parallel side edges 42 and 44 and converging edges 34 and 36. While the flap 16 is shown in the drawings as having five sides, it will be appreciated that the flap 16 may take the form of a rectangle. An identification insert 22 having substantially the same configuration as the flap 16 is provided. Identification insert 22 is provided with side edges 38 and 40 which are slightly of greater length than the sides edges 42 and 44 on the fiap 16. The identification insert 22 has converging edges 30 and 32 which are comparable to the tapered edges 34 and 36 on the fiap 16. Since the side edges 38 and 40` on insert 22 are longer than the side edges 42 and 44 on the fiap 16, the insert 22 will extend beyond the edges 34 and 36 of fiap 16.
3,051,962 Patented Sept. 4, 1962 Thus, a portion has been provided on the identification insert 22 for carrying indicia between the parallel edges 30 and 34 and parallel edges 32 and 36. The indicia is preferably sewn to the identification insert 22 and can identify either the person, a team', or the name of a persons employer.
The identification insert 22 is attached to 4the fiap 16 by a plurality of buttonholes 24, 26, and 28.` Buttons 46 and 48 on the flap 16 extend through buttonholes 24 and 28 respectively, for `attaching the identification insert 22 to the fiap 16. The buttonhole 26 on the identification insert 22 is coextensive with Ibuttonhole 18 on the fiap 16. The button 50 on the pocket 12 will extend through buttonholes 18 and 26 when the flap is in its closed disposition.
Since the flap 16 is comprised of two plies 52 and 54 of material, the buttons 46 and 48 are sewn to the inner ply 52 so as not to =be visible when the fiap 16 is in its closed disposition.
FIGURES 6 through 8 disclose `an alternative embodiment of `applicants invention. It will be noted .that when the ap 16 is in its closed disposition, see FIGURE 6, the alternative embodiment appears identical with the embodiment shown in FIGURE 2. The flap 16 is provided with a buttonhole 18 which cooperates with button 50 on shirt pocket 12 to hold the fiap 16 in its closed disposition. The identification insert 22 can be used with either of the embodiments. In this embodiment, the identification insert 22 is attached to the pocket 12 by buttons 46 and 48 which cooperate with : buttonholes 24 and 28 respectively. When the fiap 16 is in its opened disposition, the button 50 will extend only through the buttonhole 26 on the identification insert 22. When the fiap 16 is in its closed disposition, the button 50 will extend through buttonhole 26 and buttonhole 18. Since flaps 16 and 16' have the same configuration, the insert 22 will have a portion extending along one edge of the flaps for carrying indicia. When the flap 16 is in its closed disposition, buttons 46' and 48 Will be concealed.
In each of the above embodiments, it is contemplated that the identification insert 22 will be of a different color than the pocket and fiap if desired. For example, the waitress uniform or nurses uniform' could be made of white material and the insert made of red material. Since the identification insert 22 is readily detachable fromy the article of clothing, the insert need not be thrown into the same wash with the article of clothing and is readily substituted by `another insert if the personnel using the clothing is changed. Many fields of endeavor such as waitresses, airline hostesses, milkmen, etc., where there is `a large turnover of personnel, can utilize this novel identification insert to great advantage. Since the indicia is not sewn directly on the article of clothing, it need not be subjected to the rigorous treatment given to commer cial uniforms by commercial laundry establishments.
While the iapplicants novel identification insert is shown as being on a shirt, it will be appreciated that applicants novel identification insert can be utilized with pockets on jackets, coats, pants, etc.
The present invention m-ay be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof and, accordingly, reference should be made to the appended claims, rather than to the foregoing specification as indicating the scope of the invention.
I claim:
1. A pocket identification comprising an article of clothing having a pocket with an open top, a double ply flap secured to said article of clothing above said open top of said pocket, said flap extending down over said open top and overlapping said pocket, an insert of clothlike material between said flap and said pocket, said insert having a portion extending along and projecting beyond the lower edge of said flap for carrying indicia, and fastening means on one of the overlying plies of the ap and underlying pocket ap for removably mount- 5 ing said insert.
2. A pocketidenticatio-n in .accordance with claim l wherein said fastening means includes a plurality of fastener elements on the inner ply vof said flap, complernentary fastener elements on said insert cooperating 10 with the fastener elements on the inner ply of said ap to secure said insert to said ilap.
3. A pocket identification in accordance with claim 1 l wherein said fastening means includes a plurality of fastening elements on the pocket, complementary fastening elements on said insert, and the fastener elements on said insert cooperating with the fastener elements on the pocket to secure the insert to said pocket.
