TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a trousers pocket. More particularly, the present invention relates to a trousers pocket capable of preventing items contained in the trousers pocket from unintentionally falling out of the trousers pocket through an inlet of the trousers pocket. [0002] Most people habitually wear trousers for the sake of convenience. Trousers are provided at both the top of the front portion thereof with pockets in order to allow users to carry items, such as coins, paper money, keys, cellular phones or seals. Thus, the users can conveniently use the items by taking the items out of the pockets, when necessary. Pockets are also provided in women's skirts. In the following description, the pocket provided in trousers or skirts will be referred to as a trousers pocket. [0003] However, when users wearing the trousers sit on low chairs, such as driver's seats, or when users wearing the trousers bend their knees towards the chest while sitting or laying on the ground, the items contained in the trousers pocket may unintentionally falling out of the trousers pocket through the inlet. This problem may derive from the structure of the trousers pocket. BACKGROUND ART [0004] FIGS. 10 and 11 show a conventional trousers pocket 610 provided in typical trousers. Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the trousers include an outer cloth 620 forming an external appearance of the trousers and the trousers pocket 610 having an inlet 640 formed at the top of the outer cloth 620. According to FIGS. 10 and 11, the trousers pocket 610 is formed on a front portion 623 of the trousers adjacent to a lateral line 621. [0005] Besides the above elements, a plurality of belt loops can be provided at the top of the outer cloth 620 and a zipper can be provided at the center of the front portion 623 of the trousers. However, they are not illustrated in the figures and description thereof will be omitted below because they are not essentially required for the present invention. [0006] The outer cloth 620 is divided into the front portion 623 and a rear portion 625 about the lateral line 621 formed at both sides of the trousers. [0007] The trousers pocket 610 is formed at an inner part of the front portion 623 of the trousers and includes the inlet 640 formed at the front portion 630 of the trousers and a sack-type pocket body 630 coupled to the inlet 640. The pocket body 630 includes an outer fabric 631, which makes contact with the back of the user's hand when the user puts the hand into the trousers pocket 610, and an inner fabric 633 positioned opposite to the outer fabric 631 and making contact with a palm of the user when the user puts the hand into the trousers pocket 610. Peripheral portions of the outer and inner fabrics 631 and 633 are overlapped and sewn to each other. Reference numeral 655 represents a third suture line formed when the peripheral portion of the outer fabric 631 is sewn to the peripheral portion of the inner fabric 633. [0008] In particular, the pocket body 630 leans toward the front portion 623 of the trousers from the lateral line 621. In addition, a peripheral portion of the pocket body 630 adjacent to the lateral line 621 is sewn to the lateral line 621. [0009] The inlet 640 slants upward from the lateral line 621 to the top of the front portion 623 so that the user can easily put the user's hand into the pocket body 630 or take the user's hand out of the pocket body 630. The inlet 640 is defined by a first suture part including a suture line 651, which is formed when an upper edge portion of the outer fabric 631 adjacent to the lateral line 621 is sewn to an incised edge part of the front portion 623 formed when an upper edge part of the front portion 523 is incised, and a second suture part including a suture line 653, which is formed when the lateral line 621 is sewn to a peripheral portion of the inner fabric 633 of the pocket body 630. At this time, an end portion of the first suture part (that is, end portions of the outer fabric 631 of the pocket body 630 and the incise edge part of the front portion 623) is treated with the first suture line 651, so the end portion of the first suture part has a thickness larger than that of the outer cloth 620. [0010] However, items may unintentionally fall out of the conventional trousers pocket 610 because one side of the pocket body 630 is sewn to the lateral line 621. In detail, the items may fall out of the conventional trousers pocket 610 when the users wearing the trousers sit on low chairs, such as driver's seats, or when users wearing the trousers bend their knees toward the chest while sitting or laying on the ground. In these cases, a predetermined portion of the lateral line 621 positioned above the knee of the user may be inclined upward over a horizontal line. Accordingly, the items contained in the pocket body 630 may move into a side portion of the pocket body 630 and unintentionally fall out of the pocket body 630 through the inlet 640 of the trousers pocket 610. DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION Technical Problem [0011] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a trousers pocket capable of preventing items contained in the trousers pocket from unintentionally falling out of the trousers pocket through an inlet of the trousers pocket. [0012] To accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a trousers pocket in which a pocket body formed at a front portion of the trousers is expanded toward a rear portion of the trousers beyond a lateral line of the trousers, thereby preventing items contained in the trousers pocket from unintentionally falling out of the trousers pocket through an inlet. Technical Solution [0013] According to the present invention, there is provided trousers pocket comprising: an outer cloth divided into a front portion and a rear portion about a lateral line; an inlet formed at one side of the front portion; and a sack-type pocket body connected to the inlet and provided at an inner portion of the outer cloth, wherein the pocket body extends from the front portion toward the rear portion beyond the lateral line by a predetermined distance. [0014] According to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the pocket body includes an outer fabric facing the outer cloth and an inner fabric facing the outer fabric. Peripheral portions of the outer and inner fabrics, which are overlapped with each other, are sewn to each other, thereby forming a cavity for receiving items. [0015] The inlet includes a first inlet formed by incising an upper part of the front portion by a predetermined length and a second inlet formed by incising the outer fabric by a predetermined length corresponding to the first inlet. Peripheral portions of the first and second inlet, which are overlapped with each other, are sewn to each other. The inlet slants upward from an upper portion of the lateral line to a top of the front portion or horizontally extends from an upper portion of the lateral line along the front portion. The inlet is formed in the front portion while vertically extending downward from an upper portion of the lateral line. [0016] The inlet includes a first inlet, which is formed by incising the front portion such that the first inlet slants upward from an upper portion of the lateral line to a top of the front portion, and a second inlet, which is formed by incising the outer fabric such that the second inlet is positioned in front of the first inlet with a first end connected to one end of the first inlet and a second end facing the first end and being positioned in front of the first inlet. At this time, a predetermined peripheral part of the first inlet adjacent to the lateral line is sewn to the outer fabric, and a predetermined peripheral part of the second inlet remote from the lateral line is sewn to the front portion. The first end of the second inlet is formed adjacent to the lateral line and the second end of the second inlet is formed at a top of the front portion. Alternately, the first end of the second inlet is formed at a top of the front portion and the second end of the second inlet is formed in a vicinity of an upper portion of the lateral line. [0017] The inlet includes a first inlet, which is formed by horizontally incising the front portion from an upper portion of the lateral line, and a second inlet, which is formed by incising the outer fabric such that the second inlet slants downward from the first inlet with a first end connected to one end of the first inlet and a second end facing the first end and being positioned below the first inlet. At this time, a predetermined peripheral part of the first inlet adjacent to a top of the front portion is sewn to the outer fabric, and a predetermined peripheral part of the second inlet remote from the top of the front portion is sewn to the front portion. Advantageous Effects [0018] Therefore, according to the present invention, the cavity of the pocket body extends from the front portion towards the rear portion beyond the lateral line, so the items contained in the pocket body can be prevented from unintentionally falling out of the pocket body through the inlet of the trousers pocket. That is, the pocket body formed in the front portion extends toward the rear portion while passing through the lateral line, so that the items contained in the pocket body may move into the cavity portion aligned in the rear portion, other than the inlet of the trousers pocket, so that the items can be prevented from unintentionally falling out of the pocket body through the inlet.
