Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a removable pocket structure, of the type which can be applied to garments, such as trousers, shirts, sports tops, T-shirts, tracksuits, etc., but also to other objects which are commonly used such as bags, containers, tents, rucksacks, blankets, and other objects made of fabric or other flexible sheet-like materials.
  • the pocket structure according to the invention may be applied to a basic support consisting of a fabric or a flexible sheet-like material and comprises a enclosure element in the form of flat pocket formed by a back sheet and by a front sheet which are peripherally joined together along three edges, as well as one or more members for removably connecting together the pocket-type enclosure element and the basic support.
  • a pocket is intended to store temporarily internally thereof small- size objects used for various purposes, such as money, credit cards, personal items, tools, documents, etc.
  • the user does not always have one or more pockets in his/her clothing sufficient in number to contain all the items in his/her possession, especially in the case of occasional trips and journeys.
  • one or more additional pockets which, once no longer used, may be removed without altering the configuration of the basic support so as to ensure that the article of clothing or object on which they are mounted retains its original appearance.
  • the removable pocket could be left permanently mounted, providing the article of clothing with an aesthetic effect and a novel and more useful function.
  • US-A-4, 779,655 describes an additional removable pocket which is fastened to the garment by means of a fastening surface fixed to the top edge of the said pocket and inserted between the garment and the user's body.
  • a drawback of this known pocket consists in the fact that it may be applied solely to openings or hems of the article of clothing.
  • US-A-4, 389, 801 describes an additional pocket which is fixed to the fabric of the garment, in the desired position, by means of adhesive elements situated along three sides of the pocket.
  • Another American patent describes an additional pocket fixed in the desired position by means of continuous velcro strips provided on the garment itself.
  • a drawback of this known pocket consists in the considerable quantity of velcro which is used and the tendency of the latter to collect impurities and dirt.
  • US-A-4,266,300 describes an additional pocket fixed to the fabric of the garment by means of an adhesive distributed along the top edge of the pocket and fixed by means of pressure onto the garment.
  • a drawback of this known pocket consists in the fact that it may be reused only a limited number of times owing to the deterioration in the properties of the adhesive. Moreover, this constructional form is unable to ensure a good loading capacity and therefore is unsuitable for use on articles of clothing used for leisure activities. Disclosure of the invention
  • the main object of the present invention is that of eliminating the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a removable pocket structure which has the characteristics of constructional simplicity, reliability and low cost.
  • a further object is that of providing a pocket structure which has a simple and robust form and can be easily applied to and removed from the basic support with which it is associated.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a pocket structure which ensures reliable and permanent fixation to the basic support.
  • Yet another object is that of providing a pocket structure which can be made from materials easily found on the market and which is advantageous from a purely economic point of view.
  • a removable pocket structure which can be fixed to a basic support consisting of a fabric or another flexible sheet-like material, in which said structure comprises a enclosure element in the form of a flat pocket formed by a back sheet and by a front sheet which are peripherally joined together along three sides, and at least one member for removably connecting said enclosure element to the basic support, characterized in that said removable connecting member comprises at least one male element and at least one female element which can be coupled together by means of snap-engagement with the arrangement of said basic support in between.
  • the shape of the connecting member is such as to ensure a stable and permanent fixing action so as to provide the said structure with the property of being reliable during use.
  • FIG. 1 shows a general view of a removable pocket structure applied to a shirt or a similar garment
  • FIG, 2 shows a general perspective view of the removable pocket structure according to the invention not applied to the basic support 2;
  • FIG. 3 shows a partially sectioned view of the pocket structure according to Fig. 2 applied to the basic support 2;
  • FIG. 4 shows a sectional view of a detail of the pocket structure according to Fig. 3 along a plane indicated by IV-IV;
  • FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 show some perspective views of details of the pocket structure according to the invention in a few preferred embodiments.
  • a removable pocket structure may be applied to a basic support 2 consisting, for example, of a shirt or another article of clothing, as illustrated schematically in Fig. 1.
  • the pocket structure 1 may be applied without substantial modifications onto a different basic support 2, for example a bag, a rucksack, a tent, a travel blanket and other objects, not shown in the drawing, provided that they are made of a fabric or a natural or synthetic, flexible, sheet-like material.
  • the structure 1 may comprise a enclosure element 3 in the form of a flat pocket, formed by a back sheet 4 and by a front sheet 5 which are peripherally joined together, for example by means of stitches, along three sides, and at least one removable connecting member, denoted overall by 6.
  • the removable connecting member 6 comprises at least one male element 7 and at least one female element 8 which are coupled together by means of snap-engagement with the arrangement of the basic support 3 in between.
  • the male element 7 has a widened portion 9 with a predetermined maximum width W intended to interact with a narrow portion 10 of the female element having a minimum width B less than the maximum width W of the male element 7.
  • the male element 7 and the female element 8 have coupling surfaces with a substantially cylindrical geometry, having generatrices parallel to a longitudinal main axis L and substantially constant cross-sections.
  • the male element 7 may consist of an elongated body in the form of a rail, with a substantially omega-shaped cross-section, having a widened upper portion 9 with a maximum transverse width W and transverse end edges 7'.
  • the female element 8 may consist of a hollow, elongated, dome-shaped body, with a cross-section substantially in the form of a U, having longitudinal internal edges facing each other and defining a transverse restriction, and with transverse end edges 8'.
  • the minimum width B of the transverse restriction 10-10 will be less than the maximum width W of the cross-section of said male element so as to allow coupling, by means of snap-engagement, of the elements 7, 8.
  • the female element 8 may have a substantially flat connecting portion 11 which extends from one of its longitudinal internal edges 10.
  • At least one of the male and female elements is relatively elastically yielding, while the other one is relatively undeformable in a substantially transverse direction with respect to the main longitudinal axis L.
  • an incision 12 may be made along the longitudinal extension of the male element 7, so as to allow the widened portion 8 to be contracted.
  • the removable connecting member 6 may be joined to the back sheet 4 of the pocket-type containing means 3 by means of suitable removable or fixed fastening means denoted overall by 13.
  • These fastening means 13 may be arranged in the zone where said connecting portion of the female element 8 and a side edge of the back sheet 4 are joined together.
  • the fastening means 13 are fixed and consist of stitches 14.
  • the fastening means 13 are removable and consist of one or more pins 15 with a substantially cylindrical shank 16 and expanded head 17, which can be inserted into corresponding eyelet-shaped holes 18, not shown in the drawings, having a narrow portion with a width equal to the diameter of the shank 16.
  • the fastening means 13 are removable and consist of "pile and hook” arrangements 19 commonly known as "velcro".
  • the second removable connecting member 20 may have male and female elements with coupling surfaces which have a cylindrical geometry with a substantially transverse main axis, perpendicular to the plane of extension of said basic support, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
