Embodiment Construction

[0025] While this present invention is susceptible of embodiments in many different forms, there are shown in the drawings and will be described in detail herein, a preferred embodiment, with like parts designated by like reference numerals and with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the claims to the illustrated preferred embodiment.

[0026] Referring now to FIGS. 1-3, the pocket loss prevention device 20 is shown to contain a threaded shaft 24 containing a first end 36 and a second end 38. The first end 36 contains a head 22. The second end 38 of the threaded shaft 24 is inserted through the fabric on the exterior 32 of a pocket. Contact with the fabric prevents the head 22 from passing through the pocket, and the head 22 remains on the exterior 32 of the pocket with the threaded shaft 24 protruding inward. The size and shape of the head 22 can be varied so ...

Abstract

Disclosed is a device which removably attaches to a pocket or other type of open enclosure in a garment to prevent the loss of items through accidental loss or theft. The device is comprised of a threaded shaft with a generally flat head which is received by a nut with corresponding interior threads. The threaded shaft extends through the interior and exterior fabric of the pocket and is held in place by the nut, thereby closing off the opening in the pocket and securing the items carried therein. The degree to which the pocket opening is enclosed is controlled by the user so that a balance can be struck between security and convenience of access to the items in the pocket according to the needs of the particular user. The nut is preferably contained in a housing constructed of a material which can be comfortably worn next to the body.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to devices designed to prevent the loss of items carried in pockets or other enclosures in garments through accidental loss or theft, and more particularly, to devices detachably mounted to clothing to close off the opening of a pocket to prevent the loss of such items. [0003] 2. The Prior Art [0004] The desire to prevent the accidental or unauthorized removal of an object from a pocket or other open enclosures in garments has led to the development of many types of devices directed thereto. However, all such devices suffer from drawbacks of one kind or another. Some devices do not sufficiently secure objects in the pocket and still allow a wallet or other items to fall out. On the other end of the spectrum, some devices secure objects so forcefully that removal of objects in the pocket requires an inordinate amount of force or otherwise becomes awkward. Some devices are too bulky and a...
