SAFETY-POCKET FOR GARMENTS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 11, 191 '1.,
, Application led April 12, 1917. Serial No. 161,516.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, SIMON DUINsKY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bonne Terre, St. Francois county, Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Safety-Pockets for Garments, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the artto which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had familiar with the construction of the entire pocket.
By virtue of my improved construction it is possible for the. wearer of the garment provided with the pocket to carry his money and valuables with a comparatively high degree of safety by reason of the fact that it is practically impossible for a thief or pickpocket to gain access to the safety pocket.
A further object of my invention is to provide a safety pocket which is comparatively simple in construction and which can be readily combined with any ordinary pocket, and said safety pocket being entirely hid from view 'and occupying little, if any, space.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts, hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompany ing drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an elevational view of a pair of trousers and showing my improved safety pocket combined with the hip pocket of said trousers;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical section taken approximately on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a cross section taken approximately on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.
Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings, 10 designates the garment fabric in which the usual pocket opening l1 is formed. The edge of the material infimeA diately above this opening is .folded inwardly and upwardly, and said folded edge is secured to the body of the goods 10 in any suitable manner, preferably by a row of stitching 12, the same being arranged immediately above and parallel with the opening 11.
Positioned against the inside of the fabric l0 and immediately above the pocket opeir ing is a facing strip 15, preferably of fabric, the same overlying the inwardly turned edge of said fabric 104 and being secured thereto by the row of stitching 12. Secured to this facing strip 15 by the row of stitching 12 is a depending flap 16, preferably of fabric, the saine extending a substantial distance below the pocket opening 11 and secured to the rear side of the upper portion of this flap by the row of stitching 12 is the upper edge of a section of fabric 17 which. forms the inner wall of the inner or primary pocket of the garment. This fabric extends a substantial distance below the pocket opening 11 and then extends upward as designated by 18 to form the outer wall of the primary pocket. The upper portion of this outer Vwall 18 passes through the pocket opening 11 and extends from said opening downward as designated by 19, said down- `ward-ly extending portion forming a lining for a iiap 20, the latter being preferably formed of the same fabric or goods of which the garment is formed and said flap being secured to the lining in any suitable manner, preferably by means of rows of stitching 21. rlfhe ends of the flap 21 and the portion 19 of fabric section 16 are secured to each other and to the fabric 10 at points below the ends of the pocket opening 11 by vertically disposed rows of stitching 22.
Secured to the lower portion of the outer wall 18 of the inner or primary pocket, preferably by stitching, is the lower end of a section of fabric '23, the same extending upward parallel with the wall 18, said section of fabric forming the outer wall of an intermediate or secondary pocket, the mouth or opening into which is beneath the flap 20.
Secured to the inside of the fabric 10 immediately below the pocket opening llis one edge of a strip of fabric 24, the same lying immediately beneath the flap 20 and its lin ing 19, and the body of said strip is folded downwardly as designated by 25,. thus formI ing a flap for the safety pocket and which iap lies between the upper portions of walls 18 and 23.
If desired, a fastening device 26 of the ball and socket type may be utilized `between the depending edge of iiap 25 and the upper edge of wall 23, although such fastening is not absolutely essential.
Secured to the lower edge of flap 25 is one edge of a fabric section-27, the same lying immediately against the member 24 and eX tending downward between the fabric section 23 Vand the goods 10 of the garment below the pocket opening 11, said fabric sectioni27 forming the outer wall for the outer or safety pocket7 and the lower end of said fabric section is `secured to the lower portion of section 23.
It will be understood that the side edges of fabric sections 17, 1S, -23 and 27 are secured'together in any` suitable manner, preferably by means of rows of stitching 28 and the space a 4between the walls 17 and 18constitutes the yprimary' or inner pocket; the space ZJ between the walls 1S and 23 constitutes thersecondary or intermeditae pocket, andthe space c between the walls 23 and 27 constitutes the third or safety pocket.
.Access is gained to primary pocket a through the mouth or opening 11 at the upper end of said pocket and access is gained to the secondary pocket Z2 by raising the central `portion vof flap 19 and then passing` the hand downward between flap 25 and upper portion of wall `1S.
To gain access to the third or safety pocket it is necessary to raise flap 20 and then raise flap 25 which is reversely positioned with respect to said flap 20. Thus, a person un familiar with the construction of the pocket and attempting to pick the same, might insert his hand in the primary pocket 4or even in the secondary pocket, but the flap 25 overlying the mouth of the safety pocket effectually closes the opening thereinto and reduces to a kminimum the chances of said pocket being found and entered.
A safety pocket of my improved construction is comparatively simple, can be readily a'bles mayl be Vcarried .without Adanger of their being 'taken by pickpockets like.
Itlwill be readily understood'that minor and the changes in the size, form and construction of the'various parts of my improved :safety .pocket can be made and substituted for those herein shown and described7 without departing from the `spirit of my invention7 the scope of whichis set forth in the vappended claims.
I claim: Y
l. A garment having a pocket opening, pocket walls depending from said opening, one of which wallsis provided at its upper end with a flap whichextends outwardly through and downwardly from the pocket opening7 a third pocket `wall arranged-parallel with the first mentioned pocket walls and secured at its lower portion to one ofthe latter, andthe upper end of said third pocket wall being folded downward over the uppsr edge of one the first mentioned pocketwalls to form a flap which is arranged beneath and oppositely disposed relative to thepfirst mentioned flap.
2.A garment `provided with a pocket opening, walls dependingfroni said opening and disposed so as to form three pockets, one of which walls is provided with a depending flap which extends' through and downwardly from the pocket olaeninganother one'of said walls being provided at its upper 'edge with av flap which'is arranged beneath and oppositely disposed with respect to the first mentioned flap, and said second flap extending'into the mouth of one of the pockets so as to close the mouth of another one of said pockets.
In testimony whereof I hereunto -afiiX my signature in the presence of two witnesses, this 24th day of March, 1917.
