POCKET WITH MAGNETIC CLOSURE

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The application claims priority to Russia patent application No. 2023126780, filed on Oct. 19, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The proposed invention relates to details of garments and can be used in various garments, including jackets, trousers and skirts, preferably for everyday wear, and can furthermore be used in garments that have pockets with a substantially vertical or inclined opening, as well as in bags.

BACKGROUND

There is a multifunctional pocket made of a polymer material, which is made using seams, including a first cavity of the main pocket formed by a rectangular elongated back wall and a front wall located at the bottom and inseparably connected to it, a second elongated rectangular cavity formed by back and front parts that are inseparably connected along the lower and lateral sides and a symmetrical shaped closure, the upper edge of the rear part of which is inseparably connected to the upper edge of the front wall of the main closure, and the closure itself has vertical sections with an upper opening and a lower section to accommodate part of the magnetic fastener, and a third cavity located above the line of the upper edge of the front wall of the main closure at a distance of 1.5-2 cm, formed by the upper part of the elongated back wall and inseparably connected to it along an intermittent contour by an overlay rectangular part, with its separation by seams on the lower section with a side opening and three sections located above it sequentially in a row: the two sections outermost to accommodate the parts of the magnetic fasteners and the middle section between them with the upper opening, whereas fastening to the garment is provided using two removable strips of textile material with an adhesive gasket inside with magnetic fasteners located on them on one side, respectively, and on the other side, an adhesive web, with the strip with two mating parts of the magnetic fasteners located on the garment at the top, and the strip with one magnetic fastener located below it at the place where the part of the magnetic fastener matches the magnetic fastener at the bottom of the shaped pocket closure, the lower edge of which protrudes beyond the lower edge of the main pocket by at least 2.5 cm (RF U.S. Pat. No. 2500316, published on 10 Dec. 2013).

The disadvantage of the known pocket is its low reliability, which is due to the joints between the elements by means of seams, which are non-removable joints, and if they are damaged, for example, if the pocket becomes heavier, the integrity of the material of the pocket parts is lost (fabric rupture).

There is a slash pocket for garments, which is located on the inner side of the article and includes a lining connected to the main fabric of the article, the walls of which form a pocket cavity, and edge elements, and is also equipped with magnetic locking connections, whereas the lining and edge elements, on which a reinforcing layer is placed, are interconnected by additional fastening, the edge elements are additionally equipped with reinforcing elements made of elastic materials connected to locking connections, which are placed along the entire length of the reinforcing elements, whereas edge and reinforcing elements with magnetic locking connections form a pocket closure that closes the opening to the pocket cavity (RF Patent No. 197471, A41D 27/20, published on 29 Apr. 2020 Bul. No. 13).

The disadvantage of the device is the jamming of small parts in the elements of the pocket, insufficient protection against small objects falling out of the pocket, as well as the possible turning of the closure outward during use.

SUMMARY

The technical result consists in preventing the likelihood of objects falling out of a pocket or of small items getting caught in elements of the pocket, while also rendering the pocket easy to use without the risk of the closure thereof turning inside out, and furthermore making it less labour-intensive to sew articles having the claimed pocket with a magnetic closure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The claimed pocket is formed from a lining, the material of which is made up either of the main fabric of the article and/or of a lining fabric. The pocket can be formed from a single panel of lining folded along a fold line, or from at least two interconnected parts that make up the walls of the pocket and form the interior cavity (volume) of the pocket. The lining can be single-layered or multi-layered.

Each of the walls of the pocket has edge elements made of rectangular, trapezoidal, or oval fabric strips. The long sides of the edge elements are proportional to the free edges (sections) of the lining. One of the long sides of each edge element and the lining sections are connected to the main material of the article by means of overlocked seams and form, depending on the cut, a vertical or inclined opening to the pocket. The edge elements are made of dense thin fabric, mainly synthetic, for example, caprone, nylon, etc., including waterproof, for example, raincoat.

The edge of the long side of each edge element is folded and stitched with a wallpaper seam to form a small open cavity with an opening/exit, into which locking elements are installed, which are two interlocking strips made of polymer materials with integrated magnets, for example, polyethylene terephthalate, with magnetic elements. Neodymium magnets can be used. The magnetic elements can automatically close together.

Edge elements and interlocking strips with magnetic elements form a pocket closure, which closes the free opening to the pocket, whereas the closure is made in the form of a sleeve.

The closure can be removable. Concealed zippers are sewn at the opening to the pocket and along the outer edge of the closure, allowing the closure to be removed and installed.

On the inner side of each edge element mating with the lining wall, an additional reinforcing layer of lining material can be placed, which can be any of the known semi-synthetic nonwoven materials based on adhesive and non-adhesive, modified and unmodified cellulose fibers with the addition of polyester, for example. These can be polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, viscose, polyester, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride or mixtures thereof, as well as fibrides, non-woven fabric, etc.

Locking elements in the form of interlocking plastic strips with integrated magnetic elements prevent displacement and deformation of the edge elements and ensure their reliable fixation, which improves the operational performance of the structure.

The joints of the lining and edge elements with the fabric of the article are reinforced with additional multiple stitching.
