Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to clothing, and more particularly, is directed to a reversible garment having a two-sided pocket. [0002] U.S. Pat. No. 6,182,296, having a common inventor herewith, describes a reversible denim jacket and pants. The pants have patch pockets on the outside left and right hip fronts and on the outside left and right hip rears. Since the pants are reversible, similar patch pockets are on the inside left and right hip fronts, and the inside left and right hip rears. The jacket has patch pockets on the outside left and right chest fronts, and the inside left and right chest fronts. [0003] A problem with the conventional method of attaching mirror patch pockets to the outside and inside of a garment is that the layers of fabric result in bulkiness and stiffness, interfering with the fabric's draping on the body and presenting an unattractive appearance. [0004] FIG. 1A shows a patch pocket attached to a garment. FIG. 1B shows a cross section of the patch pocket of FIG. 1A along view line 1 of FIG. 1A, which is a chain-dot line showing where the cross-section of FIG. 1B is taken. [0005] The cross section of FIG. 1B is taken at the edge of the patch pocket, where the fabric is folded to protect and hide the raw edge of the fabric. Accordingly, there are five layers of fabric at the cross section: two layers from the pocket on the first side of the reversible garment, one layer from the main piece of the garment, and two layers from the pocket on the second side of the reversible garment. These five layers, as well as the two folds at the edge of the pocket, create the undesired bulkiness and stiffness. [0006] Accordingly, there is a need for an improved method of constructing a patch pocket on a reversible garment. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] In accordance with an aspect of this invention, there is provided a reversible garment with a two-sided pocket, comprising a main piece with an access opening, a pocket piece with an access opening that is aligned with the access opening of the main piece, and a lining piece between the main piece and the pocket piece, and having an edge present in the access openings of the main piece and the pocket piece. [0008] The reversible garment may further comprise a subsidiary piece coupled to the main piece and to the edge of the lining piece that is present in the access openings of the main piece and the pocket piece. [0009] In accordance with another aspect of this invention, there is provided a two-sided pocket, comprising a main piece with an access opening, a pocket piece with an access opening that is aligned with the access opening of the main piece, and a lining piece between the main piece and the pocket piece, and having an edge present in the access openings of the main piece and the pocket piece. [0010] In accordance with a further aspect of this invention there is provided a method of making a reversible garment, comprising forming an access opening in each of a pocket piece and a main piece, aligning the access openings of the pocket piece and the main piece, placing a lining piece between the aligned access openings of the pocket piece and the main piece, and coupling the main piece, the pocket piece and the lining piece. [0011] It is not intended that the invention be summarized here in its entirety. Rather, further features, aspects and advantages of the invention are set forth in or are apparent from the following description and drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0012] FIGS. 1A-1B are diagrams of a conventional reversible patch pocket; [0013] FIGS. 2A-2D are diagrams showing the pieces used in making a pocket according to the present invention; [0014] FIGS. 3A-3B are diagrams showing access openings in main piece 20 and pocket piece 30; [0015] FIGS. 4A-4B are diagrams showing how to attach lining piece 40 to pocket piece 30; [0016] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing pocket piece 30 and lining piece 40 attached to main piece 20; [0017] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a French seam between yoke piece 10 and main piece 20; and [0018] FIGS. 7A-7C are diagrams showing a garment with a two-sided pocket according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0019] A reversible garment is provided with a two-sided pocket comprising a main piece with an access opening, a pocket piece with an access opening that is aligned with the access opening of the main piece, and a lining piece between the main piece and the pocket piece, and having an edge present in the access openings of the main piece and the pocket piece. Stitching around the edge of the pocket piece couples the pocket piece to the lining piece and the main piece. This two-sided has less bulk and more flexibility than the conventional method of attaching mirror patch pockets to either side of a reversible garment. [0020] FIGS. 2A-2D are diagrams respectively showing yoke piece 10, main piece 20, pocket piece 30 and lining piece 40. Yoke piece 10 may be referred to as subsidiary piece 10. Although pocket piece 30 and lining piece 40 are seen to be U-shaped, in other embodiments they may be rectangular or another suitable form. As used herein, the U-shaped portion of pocket piece 30 is considered one edge. Continue reading about Two-sided pocket for reversible garment...
