AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a pocket that can overcome disadvantages of conventional pockets. The pocket can be located anywhere on the clothing item and offers flexibility and usefulness. The process of attaching and detaching the pocket is simple and convenient. The pocket can be used for mitigating magnetic interference and can enclose magnetic therapy magnets for customized magnetic therapy. The pocket allows for adjustment of magnet strength, protection of sensitive pocket contents, personalized clamping force, dynamic arrangement of magnets, and user embellishment and customization of the pocket.

Problems solved by technology

For example, pockets which are permanently sewn into the clothing item provide no flexibility in the location of the pocket or additional utility of the pocket.
Even if the pocket was detachable, the process for detaching and reattaching the pocket may be timely and cumbersome and the clothing item may become torn in the process.
If the pocket is attached via a pin, the result may be a loosely attached pocket which may be liable to become detached from the clothing item without the knowledge of the wearer.
Furthermore, pockets with printed indicia or affixed logos or artwork are usually permanent and fixed with respect to the pocket and clothing item and do not permit the pocket or clothing item itself to have versatility in their appearances.
