Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to a reinforced denim garment construction, and more particularly to a reinforced construction designed and configured to increase the strength in areas of stress when attaching decorative and constructive elements such as pockets, belt loops or the like to a pair of trousers or the like. The construction of the present invention will be successfully accomplished without increasing the bulkiness of the article or decreasing its aesthetic appeal. Inherently providing for a comfortable and one that has increased wearability and durability. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] It is undeniable that denim is one of the most popular fabric used in constructing various garments, such as jackets, skirt, pants, bags or the like. This fashionable material offers comfort, versatility and durability, consequently providing for a product that can be used for clothing any individual, regardless of their age. Pants made from denim, known, as jeans are particularly popular. [0005] Denim clothing design may vary tremendously, but construction of these garments remains generally the same. Pieces are sewn together in order to form the garment. Pockets are generally formed via cotton lining material. High stress points, such as belt loops and the like, are generally sewn via a larger stitch and/or a several rows of stitching. [0006] Though successful, this method still suffers drawbacks. One obvious drawback is that even though multiple and/or larger stitching may increase the strength of the stitch; it weakens the denim even though stitching is the most optimal method of adhering the various components together. There still exists the chance of breakage to occur, from weakening the denim, causing one element, such as the belt loop, to detach from the second element, such as the waistband. Defeating the purpose of the stitch and thus causing the clothing article to be ruined. [0007] Other methods of dealing with these high stress areas are the use of rivets or the like. Though somewhat successful, these rivets also have some drawbacks. One is that the rivet can snag or scratch to another material or even detach from the material itself. In addition, the rivets can be uncomfortable when one is sitting, leaning or lying on the rivets. Others may find the rivets to be unattractive and distracting. A no rivet jean resulted in no metallic objects on the garment. [0008] Accordingly, it is seen that there exists a need to increase the durability of clothing, especially in the areas of high stress, such as belt loops, pockets or the like, without compromising on aesthetics or quality of the particular garment, and specifically with jeans. Preferably the process should not only be easy to achieve successfully, but should also be economically feasible. [0009] As will be seen, the present invention achieves its intended purposes, objectives and advantages, by accomplishing the needs as identified above, through a new, useful and unobvious combination of component elements, which is simple to use, with the utilization of a minimum number of functioning parts, at a reasonable cost to manufacture, assemble, test and by employing only readily available material. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0010] The present invention is a reinforced denim garment construction which can be used in the fabrication of any type or style of clothing, wherein there exist the opportunity of high stress, such as in pockets, belt loops, waist band, or the like. The reinforced garment construction is particularly useful in the construction of jeans, pants made of denim. The present invention has not only proven to be successful in the durability of the jeans, but is clearly an article of clothing having attractive appeal. [0011] Providing for a reinforced denim garment construction, the present invention, a pair of jeans, includes reinforcing features and elements that are subjected to high stress, waist band, belt loops, yokes and pockets or the like by reinforcing the conventional material denim with nylon. This will provide for a lightweight configuration, as well as provide for a design that is durable and non-bulky. [0012] Each element is carefully designed and configured to optimize the performance. When constructing a belt loop for the jeans, a first layer or strip of denim is folded in a half. A nylon layer is then sandwiched interiorly within the fold of the denim. This lower or folded area along with the lower end of the nylon layer is stitched into a fixed position. The tips or top ends of the strip of denim are folded. This allows for one end to enclose the tip of the nylon layer. The upper tip is then stitched, causing the stitch to occur between five layers of material. [0013] The waistband, like the belt loop is sewn in a similar fashion. For added reinforcement, the waistband preferably includes additional layer of material, such as interfacing, cotton, or the like, for added stiffness and structural stability. This added layer would be located opposite the nylon and would be design to face the nylon material. [0014] For constructing the yoke of the garment, the yoke would be lined with a nylon material. The upper lined end would be attached to the waistband as described above. The lower portion of the yoke would be folded up, causing a portion of the nylon material to fold upwards as well. A remainder of denim material would then wrap inward, down and over the folded portion of the nylon. The top portion or end of rear of the garment would lock into the folded area and be stitched into place. This would provide for a secure fit. [0015] Pocket construction would be accomplished by lining the pocket with the nylon material with nylon. For added strength, a separated piece of nylon material would adhere and enclose the denim to the lining, hence forming the pocket area The jeans of the present invention can be configured to include an additional smaller pocket located above the opening of the front pocket. This pocket is made from denim and is directly sewn to the front surface of the larger front pocket. [0016] Overall, at least one or all the features as described can be used in the construction of the jeans of the present invention. This will allow for stronger and more durable apparel that will not be affected aesthetically. [0017] Accordingly, it is the object of the present invention to provide for jeans having reinforced construction, which will overcome the deficiencies, shortcomings, and drawbacks of prior garment construction methods thereof. [0018] A further object of the present invention is to provide for jeans having reinforced construction that decrease stress loads on specific areas of an article of clothing to inherently increase the wearability and durability of the particular garment. [0019] Yet another object of the present invention, to be specifically enumerated herein, is to provide for a pair of jeans having reinforced construction in accordance with the preceding objects and which will conform to conventional forms of manufacture, be of simple construction and easy to use so as to provide a device that would be economically feasible, long lasting and relatively trouble free in operation. [0020] The present invention meets the requirements of the simplified design, compact size, low initial cost, low operating cost, ease of installation and maintainability, and minimal amount of training to successfully employ the invention. [0021] The foregoing has outlined some of the more pertinent objects of the invention. These objects should be construed to be merely illustrative of some of the more prominent features and application of the intended invention. Applying the disclosed invention in a different manner or modifying the invention within the scope of the disclosure can obtain many other beneficial results. Accordingly, a fuller understanding of the invention may be had by referring to the detailed description of the preferred embodiments in addition to the scope of the invention defined by the claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
