U vrrnn STATES RODMOND GIBBONS, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN POCKETS FOR WEARING APPAREL.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 175,428, dated J une 6, 1876; application filed May 25, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RonMoNn GIBBONs, of the city of San Francisco, in the State of (Jalifornia, have invented a, new and useful Improvement in the Pockets of Wearing-Apparel, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part'hereof.
I My invention consists of making a pocket for and in wearing-apparel, the opening of which pocket is without corners, curved upward to the perpendicular at both sides thereof, and stitched longitudinally in the direction of the strain to which said pocket is subjected in common use. a
The objects of this invention are to avoid the transverse strain upon the stitching which should support a pocket; to dispense withcross-tacks, corner-patches, gussets, and metallic fastenings as pocket-supporters; and to secure strength and durability in pockets by a neat, simple, and cheap device.
The said improvement is applicable to and in the pockets of all articles of suitable wearing-apparel, and admits, without change in the nature of my invention, of various shapes and fashionings of pocket-openings.
To enable persons skilled in the art of manufacturing wearing-apparel to utilize the invention, I describe the .same as follows, referring to the annexed drawing.
Figures 1 to 7 represent various forms of. said improvement, and the modes of constructing the same.
In Fig. 1, a represents an outside pocket, and b an inside pocket, particularly adaptable to overalls, the dots in said figure indicating stitching. In Fig. 2 the manner of forming the outside or hip pocket 'is shown. The outside shape of the piece forming said pocket is seen at c c c 0 0 0. By d is represented a smaller piece, laid face to face upon the other, the form of the pocket-opening having been marked upon it, as per dotted line.
The two pieces are then stitched, as per said dotted line, and both thicknesses of stuff out out, as per solid line 0 e 0, say, a quarter of-an inch from the seam. The piece (1 is "then turned over and inward close upon said seam forming the rim of the pocket-opening, which is then stitched, as shown in Fig. 1. The
outer edges 0 c 0 c c c are then turned under, and the pocket is sewed upon the garment, as also shown in Fig. 1 by a. r
Fig. 3 shows the detail of front pocket I)- in Fig.1. Byffff is represented a section of the right-side front fof the overall-pattern, as shown in Fig. 1. A piece of cloth, g g h h, is laid face to face upon the other, as in Fig. 2, except that the top edges of the two pieces should be even, the pattern of the pocket, indicated by the dotted lines, having been previously marked upon it, as in the other case. The sewing is then done as per said dotted line, the stuff out out as before, the piece turned over and inward close upon the seam, and the rim stitched, as shown in Fig. l. The piece 9 g h h is then folded at i, so that the edge h It shall be made to coincide with the edge 9 g, the fold thus forming the back face of pocket I), as shown in Fig. 1. There are two or more thicknesses of material brought together at g g, and in constructing the garment they are caught in the side seam it it as far down as Z, from about which point the pocket is allowed to hang, as shown by the broken and dotted line marked m. A perpendicular line or lines of stitching are made downward to a, Fig. 1. v
Figs. 4, 5, 6, and 7 are modifications in the shape of the pockets, the construction being substantially the same as that hereinbefore described. Figs. 5 and 6 show side pockets suited to coats, 850., the solid lines in Fig. 5 showing the cut in the cloth, and the dotted lines the pattern of the pocket-opening, and the first scam in the facing, as in the other cases. Fig. 6 shows the stitching of the finished pocket-opening, (shown incomplete in Fig. 5,) which may be made with or-without lappet.
The greatest strain and wear and tear upon a pocket-opening are upon that side thereof upon which the hand bears the hardest when entering the pocket. Therefore, the purposes of this invention may be partially fulfilled by curving that side alone of the pocket-opening, as shown in Fig. 7 but I prefer to curve both sides, as hereinbefore described. The waistband, as seen in Fig. 1, overlaps, and the buttons are incidentally made additional supports to the pockets.
I am aware that the so-oalled crescentshaped pocket, in common use, is often made to curve upward at the sides of the opening; bnt such pocket openings are invariably made dependent for support upon cross-tacks, patches, or gussets; and there is always a transverse strain upon the stitching that supports said pocket, all of which appliances are obviated by this invention.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and wish to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
l. In combination with pantaloons or other articles of wearing apparel, a pocket, the sides of whose opening are curved upward to the perpendicular, and stitched to the pocket and garment in parallel perpendicular lines extending above and below the mouth of the pocket-opening, whereby the strain to which both the pocket-opening and pocket are subjected in common use is resisted by vertical stitching, substantially as herein described.
2. In combination with a pocket, the sides of which curve to the perpendicular, a line or lines of stitching, coinciding and parallel with said sides of the pocket-pattern, and intersecting the upper extremity of the curve of the pocket-rim, substantially as and for the purposes herein specified.
In testimony whereof I have hereto subscribed my name this -22d day of May, in the year of our Lord 1876.
BODMOND GIBBONS.
