Universal garment pocket and method

Abstract

Abstract A MACHINE STITCHED, FLAT COMPLETELY TAILORED AND FINISHED UNIVERSAL POCKET IS ATTACHED WHILE BEING CONSTRUCTED, TO ANY TYPE OF, AND AT ANY POINT OF, AN UNLINED GARMENT IN WHICH POCKETS ARE VISIBLE, SUCH AS TROUSERS, UNLINED COATS, SKIRTS AND THE LIKE. IT IS REVERSIBLE FOR OUTSIDE ARRANGEMENT AND VISIBILITY. THE POCKET BAG RECEIVES A GUSSET FOR EXPANSIBILITY. IT IS SECURED TO THE GARMENT ONLY AT THE SLIT OR ENTRANCE OPENING OF THE POCKET BY A SINGLE CONTINUOUS LINE OF MACHINE STITCHING. THE POCKET SHEET IS FOLDED IN HALF WITH THE FOLD AS CLOSELY ADACENT THE SLIT AS THE STITCHING PERMITS. THE SLIT IS A STRAIGHT, CURVED, CROOKED OR BENT LINE. THE CORRESPONDING END PORTIONS OF THE STITCHING ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF, AND CIRCUMSCRIBING, THE SLIT CONVERGE TO MEET AT A RELATIVELY OR SLIGHTLY DULL POINT. DURING CONSTRUCTION, THE POCKET SHEET OR FINISHED POCKET BAG IS TURNED BACK AND FORTH THROUGH THE SLIT AS MANY TIMES AS REQUIRED TO GIVE COMPLETE ACCESS FOR CONTINUOUS MACHINE STITCHING OF ALL PARTS, SUCH TURNING BEING POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE POCKET BAG OR SHEET FROM THE GARMENT EXCEPT FOR THE SLIT STITCHING. EMBELLISHMENT SUCH AS FACINGS, FLAPS, TAPES, ZIPPERS, STRIPES AND THE LIKE ARE APPLIED DURING CONSTRUCTION.
