DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the described embodiments of the application and uses of the described embodiments. As used herein, the word “exemplary” or “illustrative” means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration.” Any implementation described herein as “exemplary” or “illustrative” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other implementations. All of the implementations described below are exemplary implementations provided to enable persons skilled in the art to practice the disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, background, brief summary or the following detailed description.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the pouch assembly 10 generally comprises a panel 12 that may be removably inserted into a pocket 14 in an article of clothing 16. The article of clothing 16 may be a pair of pants or a pair of shorts of any conventional design. Additionally, the pocket 14 may be a front pocket in the article of clothing 16. The panel 12 may be comprised of a resiliently deformable material such as neoprene or other similar material.

The panel 12 has a width that is less than a height of the panel 12. Additionally, the panel 12 has a rectangular shape that may have a width between 10 cm and 13 cm. Further, the panel 12 may have a height between 15 cm and 20 cm. Lastly, the panel 12 may have a thickness between 1 mm and 3 mm.

A bottom edge 18 of the panel 12 is folded upwardly toward a middle 20 of a front side 22 of the panel 12. Moreover, a rear surface 24 of a folded portion 26 of the panel 12 is positioned proximate a front surface 28 of a flat portion 30 of the panel 12. The folded portion 26 of the panel 12 is defined proximate a bottom 32 of the flat portion 30 of the panel 12. Lastly, the folded portion 26 of the panel 12 may have a height between 5 cm and 8 cm.

A first lateral edge 34 of the folded portion 26 of the panel 12 is coupled to a first lateral edge 36 of the flat portion 30 of the panel 12. Continuing, a second lateral edge 38 of the folded portion 26 of the panel 12 is coupled to a second lateral edge 40 of the flat portion 30 of the panel 12. The folded portion 26 of the panel 12 may be sewn to the flat portion 30 of the panel 12.

The panel 12 is positionable in the pocket 14 in the article of clothing 16. Moreover, the panel 12 is coextensive with the pocket 14 in the article of the clothing 16. An upper first lateral corner 42 of the panel 12 is exposed when the panel 12 is positioned within the pocket 14 in the article of clothing 16. The first lateral corner 42 defines a distal end of a top panel edge 43 that defines the topmost portion of the panel 12 of the assembly 10.

The folded portion 26 of the panel 12 is positioned proximate a bottom 44 of the pocket 14 in the article of clothing 16. A back side 46 of the panel 12 abuts a back side 48 of the pocket 14 in the article of clothing 16. Further, a front side 50 of the folded portion 26 of the panel 12 abuts a front side 52 of the pocket 14 in the article of clothing 16.

An object 54 is inserted through an open top end 56 of the folded portion 26 of the panel 12. Moreover, the object 54 is selectively stored in the folded portion 26 of the panel 12. The object 54 is discrete from the pocket 14 in the article of clothing 16. Lastly, the object 54 may be a golf tee or other object related to the game of golf. It shall be noted that a secondary object 540 may be inserted into the pocket 14 of the article of clothing 16. The secondary object 540 may be a golf ball.

The assembly 10 is further defined with a divot repair pocket 70 that is also included on the front side 22 of the panel 12. Moreover, the divot repair pocket 70 is configured to store a divot repair tool 72 therein. The divot repair pocket 70 is positioned above the folded portion 26 so as to not interfere with the use of the folded portion 26. The divot repair pocket 70 is further defined with a tool opening 71 that is oriented upwardly, and enables the divot repair tool 72 to slide into from above the divot repair pocket 70. The tool opening 71 is provided beneath the top panel edge 43 by a divot repair pocket distance 75.

In use, the panel 12 is positioned within the pocket 14 in the article of clothing during play of the game of golf. The object 54 is stored within the folded portion 26 of the panel 12. Moreover, the panel 12 prevents the object 54 from soiling the pocket 14 in the article of the clothing 16. The panel 12 is removed from the pocket 14 in the article of clothing 16 after the game is completed. Lastly, the panel 12 is cleaned after the panel 12 is removed from the pocket 14 in the article of clothing 16.

With respect to the above description, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationship for the various components of the pouch assembly 10, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function, and the manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the pouch assembly 10.

It shall be noted that those skilled in the art will readily recognize numerous adaptations and modifications which can be made to the various embodiments of the present invention which will result in an improved invention, yet all of which will fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the following claims. Accordingly, the invention is to be limited only by the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
