SAFETY WATCH POCKET.
SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 699,425, dated May 6, 1902.
Application filed January 24:, 1902. Serial No. 91,042. (No model.)
To (ZZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, MAURICE M. STRAUSS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety \Vatch-Pockets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention has for its object to provide a watch-pocket for garments-such as waistcoats, trousers,or the likewith means whereby the felonious withdrawal or accidental slipping of the watch from the pocket may be guarded against; and this object I have accomplished by the novel construction hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly defined in the claims at the end of this specification.
Figure l is a front View of a pocket embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but showing the guardflap outside of the pocket. Fig. 3 is a view in vertical section on line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a front view of a modified form of the invention. Fig. 5 is a View in vertical section on line 5 5 of Fig. 4.
A designates the pocket proper of a garment, andB denotes the guard-flap. In Figs. 1 to 4 of the drawings the flap B is shown as made of the same material as the body of the garment and is adapted to lie within the pocket, as shown in Fig. 1, or to lie outside of the pocket, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The guard-flap B has its upper edge stitched to the material along the inner side of the mouth of the pocket and along the line of the pocketopening, and this guard-flap is made a trifle shorter than the opening of the pocket, so that the flap may lie either within the pocket or outside of the pocket, as shown, respectively, in Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawings. Within the guard-flap B is formed ahole I), through which the watch-chain will be passed, and this hole 1) extends parallel with the pocket-opening and is located adjacent the upper edge of the flap B and near the front end thereof.
The location of the hole I? of the guard-flap at the top of the flap and adjacent the end thereof is attended with several advantages. In the first place when the opening of the guard-flap is located at such point it is scarcely noticeable, being in line with the line of stitching that unites the guard-flap to the body of the garment. Again, by locating the opening, or hole I) at the top of the guard-flap, which flap isstitched to the inner edge of the pocket-opening, it takes the weight of the watch-chain,and thus prevents the chain from causing the free edge of the pocket to sag and prevents the chain also from chafing and wearing the edge of the pocket. Moreover, when the hole or opening b is located adjacent the end of the flap it allows the chain to pass through the flap directly from the watch, as the watch naturally lies in the end of the pocket, and the chain passes from the pocket at such point.
An advantage incident to forming the guard-flap B so that it may be tucked inside the pocket and a further advantage incident to forming the hole for the watch-chain adjacent the upper edge of such style of flap is that when the flap is within the pocket it tends to prevent the accidental falling of the watch from the pocket, as when the wearer of the garment is undressing. If the hole or opening I) were located at a distance from the upper edge of the guard-flap,- then even if the flap were tucked inside the pocket the weight of the watch and of the chain, particularly if the latter be heavy, would tend to withdraw the flap from the pocket, which is not the case when the hole for the watchchain is located at the upper edge of the guardflap, as shown.
In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 40f the drawings the guard-flap B is intended to lie at all times within the pocket and may be formed of the same material of which the pocket is composed; but in this form of the invention, as in that above described, the hole I) for the watch-chain is located adjacent to and parallel with the upper edge of the guardflap and near one end thereof.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-'- 1. The combination with a pocket, of a guard-flap having its upper edge stitched along the top of the pocket at the inner side of the pocket-mouth and provided adjacent its line of attachment with a hole extending lengthwise of the pocket adjacent the line of its line of attachment with a hole extending stitches at its upper edge for the passage of a lengthwise of the pocket near one end of the 10 watch-chain. guard-flap and parallel with its line of attach- 2. The combination with a pocket, of a ment to the pocket. guard-flap shorter than the mouth of the pocket and having its upper edge stitched along the top of the pocket at the inner side of the pocket-mouth and provided adjacent MAURICE M. STRAUSS. Witnesses:
