AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent introduces an athletic shirt with a pocket for receiving and securing a mobile device. The shirt includes a band system to hold the phone, which can be securely attached to the shirt without the need for an armband. The pocket is designed to be aesthetically pleasing when worn in casual environments. The technical effect of this invention is an athletic shirt that provides a convenient way to carry a mobile device while performing physical activities.

Problems solved by technology

Some individuals simply carry a mobile device in the pocket of pants or shorts while exercising, but in carrying this way, the mobile device can (a) fall out, (b) cause discomfort, or (c) impede an individual's performance while exercising.

All of these forms of carrying a mobile device can be uncomfortable, impede performance, or even look aesthetically unappealing.

However, neither Diakite nor Echelson discloses an athletic shirt with an integrated pocket for receiving a mobile device, an interior pocket for personal items, and a built in hook or clasp mechanism for receiving a band that can strap the mobile device securely in place—and later be removed.
