Description
JAMES N. WITI-IEY, 0F CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
COAT-POCKET.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed 0ctober 4, 1909.
946,301. Patented J an. 11, 1910.
Serial No. 520,889.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES N. WITHEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CoatPockets, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to the forl mation of a pocket intended for the carrying of a watch, which pocket will be located on the inside of a coat; and has for its objects, to construct a pocket which will be of easy access to the wearer of the coat; which will be diicult of access to a thief, without attracting the attention of the wearer; which will permit the chain of the watch to be secured and displayed on the outside of the coat and be fastened to t-he watch, which is carried in the inside pocket; which will eliminate the bulging usually manifest l when a watch is worn in the upper outside pocket of the coat; which will not interfere with the wearers making use of the breast pocket of the coat for the carrying of a handkerchief, etc.; and which will not change or detract from the appearance of the outside of the coat in any particular.
The invention consists in the features of construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an outside view of a coat buttoned; Fig. 2 a View showing the coat unbuttoned and one side thrown back to expose the pocket on the inside; and Fig. 3 an enlarged sectional detail through the outer breast pocket and inner watch pocket and showing the slit in the coat through which the watch chain is passed.
The drawings show an ordinary coat 4 having side pockets 5 and a breast pocket 6. Located at a point on the inside of the breast pocket is a slit or opening 7, which is cut through the material and extends to the inside of the coat, this slit or opening being of a size to permit the insertion therethrough of the watch chain, but too narrow to permit the passing therethrough of the watch; and located at a suitable point below said opening is an inside pocket S adapted to carry a watch 9. As shown, attached to the watch 9 is a cha-in 10 which is fastened in a butt-on hole of the lapel 11 of the coat, the chain passing on the inside of the pocket 6 through the opening 7 to the inside of the coat, where it is connected to the watch 9.
The present custom is to carry the watch in the breast pocket of the coat. This causes it to lie in a position in line with the upper pockets of the vest, and as these upper' vest pockets are generally filled to a greater or less extent with articles, and as the middle I portion of the coat is generally fitted tight to the wearer, it will be readily seen that a bulging will be produced by the Watch, which will spoil the shape and appearance of the coat. The inside pocket, as shown in the coat of the present invention, is located below such central point, eliminating the bulging effect. The pocket is so located that the wearer will have easy access to the pocket for the removal of the watch and inspection thereof, and is so located that a thief, in order to gain access to the pocket, would be forced to reach underneath and back into the coat,-an act very difficult to accomplish Without attracting the attention of the wearer; and as the slit in the coat is not of sufficient width to permit of the withdrawal of the watch through it the removal of the watch by unfastening the chain from the lapel is impossible. The chain passing through the breast pocket 6 does not in any way prevent the carrying of a handkerchief or other article in this pocket, and the chain also passing on the outside of the coat between the lapel and the breast pocket produces the same appearance as when the watch is carried in the breast pocket of the coat.
By locating the inner pocket below the slit or opening, a considerable portion of the chain or guard will be exposed on the inside of the coat and above the watch pocket, which is important, in that it affords easy access to the chain or guard in withdrawing the watch from the watch pocket without wrinkling the coat or straining the fabric in proximity to the slit or opening. Furthermore, by locating the inner and outer pockets at different levels, the coat will not be unduly bulged or expanded by the presence of a handkerchief or other article in the outer breast pocket.
I claim:
A coat having an outer breast pocket and an inner pocket adapted to carry awatch and located below the upper pocket, said coat having a slit or Opening formed therein 1 outside of the coat, substantially as deoeated at a point on the interior of the scribed.
rreast pocket and above the to 0 the inner l T pocket, said slit enabling thepwateh chain JAMES N' VITHEX 5 to be passed therethrough and extend along Witnesses:
the inside and outside of the Coat, and WM. P. BOND,
means for securing the Watch chain on the EPHRAIM BANNING.
