Definitions

  • This invention relates to pockets, and in particular to stitched pockets.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to pockets of garments, but is also applicable to pockets used on other articles such as luggage (e.g. rucksacks) .
  • an article having a pocket comprising: a flap attached to a surface of the article; a front pocket wall attached to the surface below the flap so that the flap covers an upper pocket entry between the front wall and the article surface; and a waterproof lining disposed between the front pocket wall and the surface and having a flap extension disposed under the flap and attached to the flap at a position below the upper pocket entry, so that water penetrating under the flap at its point of attachment to the article surface is prevented from entering the pocket by the lining.
  • prior art stitched pockets water can leak into the pocket via stitch holes, for example along the top of a flap positioned above the opening of the pocket, or at the sides of a zip provided at the pocket opening.
  • the pocket is formed by a lining inserted into a garment, except for a flap extension which projects outwardly of the garment.
  • the top region of the flap extension is attached to the garment by stitching, but additional measures are taken to prevent leakage through the stitch holes at this region, e.g. by waterproofing the area with tape.
  • an article has a pocket which is taped on its inside surface in the region of stitching in order to prevent the ingress of water through the stitch holes.
  • a first line of stitching which attaches the pocket to the article
  • a second ⁇ line within the first line, which defines the inner pocket area
  • the tape extends around the inside along the second line of stitching.
  • the flap is preferably secured along its top edge to the article, and preferably has tape extending along its underside in the region of the stitching used to attach it to the article so as to prevent water leakage through the stitch holes.
  • Figures 2(A) and (B) show a pocket according to the present invention
  • Figures 3(A) and (B) , 4, 5 and 6 show modified versions of the embodiment
  • Figures 7(A) and (B) show a further embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the invention.
  • Figures 9(A) and (B) and Figures 10(A) and (B) show different types of pockets, constituting modifications of the embodiment of Figures 2(A) and
  • Figure 1(A) shows a layer 2 of a garment (or other article) , the layer being made of waterproof material.
  • the garment may have a single layer, or may be multi-layered in which case the layer 2 is the outermost layer.
  • the front surface of the layer 2 has a pocket generally indicated at 4 attached thereto.
  • the pocket is shown in front elevation in Figure 1(B) , which also shows the stitch lines 6 and 8 by which a main body 10 and a flap 12 are attached to the layer 2.
  • the main body 10 comprises a front pocket wall 11 which is generally rectangular, and has stitching around its bottom and its side edges, the margins of which are folded over as shown in Figure 1(A) .
  • the flap 12 covers the pocket opening 14, and is stitched to the layer 2 along its upper edge (the flap 12 is shown turned up in Figure 1(B)).
  • a waterproof tape 16 is attached to the inner surface of the layer 2 to prevent penetration of water through the stitch holes and thus ensure that the garment remains waterproof.
  • the tape may be melted on to the back of each row of stitching by hot air. However, water is able to penetrate the interior
  • the pocket could have a rear wall which extends upwardly such that the flap 12 becomes an extension of the rear wall.
  • this would allow some of the water (20') penetrating behind the flap to pass down between the front of the garment and the pocket without penetrating to the interior 18 of the pocket, this does not prevent the rest of the water leaking into the pocket.
  • the pocket is provided with an inner waterproof liner 22.
  • This has front and rear sections 24 and 26, respectively. These may be attached together at a line shown at 27 in Figure 2 (B) , possibly by welding or by stitching, in the latter case with a waterproof tape extending around the stitch line.
  • the rear section 26 is integral with a flap extension 28 (although this may be separately formed and joined thereto using tape) . This is positioned f ce-to- ace with the flap 12.
  • the inner pocket 22 is attached to the garment by stitching to the flap 12 along the line 30 and by stitching of the front section 24 along the line 32.
  • the flap extension 28 prevents the ingress of water leaking through the top section of the flap 12.
  • the line 30 of stitching to the flap 12 is mainly positioned below the entry 14, so that any leakage cannot reach the interior 18 of the pocket.
  • the other line of attachment is along the top of the front section 24, which is protected by the flap extension 28. Sideways ingress of water through stitching 6 is also prevented from reaching the interior 18. There is thus provided a fully waterproof pocket.
  • Figures 3(A) and 3(B) are respectively longitudinal section and elevation views of a variant which provides a slightly greater degree of protection, and includes a lower flap section 34 formed by folded-over integral extensions 34' and 34" of the front 11 of the main body 10 of the pocket and the front section 24 of the inner liner.
  • the side edges (not shown) of the extension 34' of the front wall 11 are attached to the side edges of the flap 12, and the side edges of the extension 34" are attached to the flap extension 28, so that a mouth-like structure is formed as indicated in Figure 3(B).
  • the stitch line 32 at which the front section 24 is affixed to the garment is positioned at the bottom of the lower flap section 34 below the entry 14, so that any moisture which happens to penetrate via these stitch holes would not reach the interior 18 of the pocket.
  • the main body 10 of the pocket has a rear wall 36, and the front wall 11 and flap 12 are integral with this rear wall. However, this is not essential.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show further variants of this embodiment, the thicknesses of the various layers in these cases (and in Figures 6, 8, 9(B) and 10(B)) being shown by single lines for simplicity. For clarity, parts are shown separated even when in reality they would be in contact or adhered together.
  • Figure 4 shows a modification of the embodiment of Figures 3 (A) and (B) , wherein the continuous rear wall 36 is omitted, and a shortened back section 38 is provided.
  • Figure 5 shows a different variant, in which the outer flap 12, the upper flap extension 28 of the inner liner 22 and the lower flap section 34 are all sewn together at their lowermost ends, as shown at 33, and a zip 40 is provided in the lower flap section 34 for permitting access to the pocket without allowing water to reach the pocket interior 18.
  • FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment wherein the pocket comprises an inserted pocket bag accessed by an aperture 14 in the garment layer 2.
  • the front wall of the pocket is thus formed by the layer 2 itself, rather than a separate section attached thereto.
  • the rear section 26 of the liner 22 is also the rear wall of the pocket, it is desirable that it be attached to the garment along its upper edge as shown generally at 42. This is achieved by stitching 44, with a layer of tape 46 being provided to prevent water leakage into the interior 18 of the pocket.
  • the types of materials generally used do not permit waterproof tape to be applied to opposed surfaces of the material. Accordingly, it may not be possible to use tape on the reverse of the rear section 26 to seal the line of stitching 44. Accordingly, water may penetrate the layer 2 via the stitching 8 of the flap 12 and then via the stitching 44.
  • This embodiment is therefore of most value when used with articles in which the layer 2 is an outer layer, which is not necessarily waterproof, the article further comprising a waterproof layer 56.
  • This may be the inner layer of a two layer structure, or an intermediate layer sandwiched between the outer layer 2 and an inner layer 58. It will thus be noted that a waterproof pocket can be provided even when the outer layer of the garment is not made of waterproof material. It is also to be noted that any of the other embodiments may be applied to such multi-layer articles.
  • FIGS 7(A) and 7(B) show an alternative embodiment, in which a patch pocket is attached to a layer 2 generally as in the embodiment of Figures 2(A) and 2(B), except that the inner liner 22 is omitted.
  • Water leaking behind the top of the flap 12 passes down behind the continuous rear wall 36 of the pocket and therefore does not leak into the interior of the pocket. Water is prevented from leaking through the top of the flap 12 to the interior 18 by the use of a waterproof tape 48 attached to the underside of the flap 12 and the top of the rear wall 36 along the line of stitching 8.
  • the pocket is attached to the garment by stitching 50, which would permit water penetration.
  • an inner line of stitching 52 is provided, and a tape 54 extends around the interior of the pocket along this inner line of stitching 52 so as to prevent water ingress.
  • the easiest way of providing this tape is to apply it to the pocket while this is turned inside-out, and then to turn the pocket the right way before attaching it to the garment.
  • the stitching 52 could be omitted and the tape attached around the line 50 of stitching, although in practice this is more difficult to achieve because the pocket has to be turned inside out while attached to the garment.
  • front (11) and rear (36) walls are formed from separate pieces of material, they could be formed from a single piece, folded for example along the bottom of the pocket.
  • FIG 8 The embodiment illustrated in Figure 8 is similar to that of Figure 3 except for the following aspects.
  • the flap extension 28 is no longer integral with the rear section 28 of the liner 22.
  • the top margins of the flap extension 28 and the rear section 26 are both attached to the layer 2, desirably by using the same stitching 8 as is used to attach the top of the flap 12 to the layer.
  • a waterproof tape 59 attached along the line of stitching 8 under the flap 12 to the flap extension 28 and the rear extension 26 prevents ingress of water into the interior 18 of the pocket.
  • This embodiment also omits the rear wall 36 of the main pocket body 10, although the wall could be provided if desired.
  • the rear section 26 and flap extension 28 of the inner liner formed a continuous impermeable barrier to moisture because they were not stitched to the garment.
  • Figure 8 shows that such stitching is possible where there is an impermeable rear surface (in this case the section 26) , to which a tape can be adhered to cover the line of stitching, just as in the embodiment of Figure 7 wherein the rear wall 36 of the main body section 10 provides a surface permitting the tape 48 to be adhered over the line of stitching.
  • any of the pockets described above may have an additional space which is not waterproof and which serves as a hand warmer.
  • the space 61 may be behind the rear wall 36 as shown in Figures 9(A) and 9(B) , access being gained by leaving one edge 62 of the pocket unstitched.
  • a zip may be provided.
  • Figures 10(A) and 10(B) A further modification is shown in Figures 10(A) and 10(B), in which the space 63 is provided between the front of the pocket and an additional layer 64, access being gained via a side entry 66 which may also have a zip.
  • the material forming the inner pocket can be anything which is waterproof and which can be sealed at the edges, and therefore could be substantially cheaper than the main outer fabric of the garment.
  • Thermally insulated material for the hands could be stitched inside the pocket, e.g. in the form of a hanging bag, and would stay dry. Normally fleecy or other such insulating materials are not used in outer pockets of rainwear as they merely become saturated. Because the pockets may be stitched-on rather than welded, they are significantly stronger.
  • the waterproof materials used to form a garment may be made from nylon, polyester, polycotton, cotton or many other materials.
  • the material used to waterproof the article could be, for example, polyurethane, PTFE, PVC, neoprene or wax.
  • the upper openings 14 of the pockets described above are horizontal, they could instead be inclined.
