The textile portions (2, 3) are elastically stretchable. The upper portion (2) and the lower portion are connected to one another by at least two seams (5A, 5B) that are spaced apart from one another, the upper and lower portions (2, 3) having an edge (6, 7). The reach-through region (4) is formed between the portions (2, 3), the edges (6, 7) of the portions (2, 3), and the seams. At least one of the two seams (5A, 5B) connects only the upper and the lower portion (2, 3) to one another.

Description

The invention relates to an access barrier which is or can be arranged on a pocket, forms a reach-through region to the pocket and comprises an upper textile portion and a lower textile portion, wherein the upper textile portion overlaps the lower textile portion, wherein the upper textile portion and the lower textile portion are elastically stretchable, wherein the upper portion and the lower portion are connected to one another by at least two seams which are spaced apart from one another, wherein the upper and the lower portion have an edge, and wherein the reach-through region is formed between the portions, the edges of the portion and the seams. When items such as keys or mobile phones are stored in (clothing) pockets, for example, there is a risk of losing these items, especially during physical activity. To counteract this, fasteners such as zippers, Velcro fasteners, (snap) buttons and the like are primarily used. However, these have several disadvantages. Firstly, such fastening mechanisms can be very uncomfortable when worn during physical activity. Secondly, it is often very complicated to operate them with only one hand. Furthermore, these fastening mechanisms can easily break, often look unattractive, and are difficult to replace. These fastening mechanisms only fulfill their retaining function if they are specifically used / activated. For example, a zipper only provides protection if it is closed by the wearer of the garment. For automatically closing the reach-through opening of a pocket, barrier-like arrangements are known from the prior art, which are intended to prevent objects from slipping out of the pocket, but these in turn bring problems in handling. In particular, it is often difficult to transport the objects out of and / or into the usually quite narrow barrier openings. When overlapping materials are used as barrier openings, undesirable effects occur. If the barrier is used for a period of time, plastic deformations of the barrier opening occur. If the items stored in the bag are too heavy or too bulky, the opening of the barrier becomes deformed, the reach-through in the pocket becomes visible, and the risk of the item slipping out of the pocket increases. This can cause items to fall out of the pocket or be stolen by other people. These problems are to be solved with a novel access barrier. This problem is solved with an access barrier having the features of claim 1. The elastic access barrier according to the invention with the specially arranged connecting seams serves primarily to ensure that various objects can be safely stored in a pocket without the wearer having to actively close the reach-through opening. The reach-through opening is closed thanks to overlapping fabrics which are elastically deformed when the whole hand or fingers are used to reach through, and then return to their undeformed state after the reach-through process. Thanks to the specially positioned and executed connecting seams, the reach-through region in the undeformed state can be as small as possible, but the total available, elastically deformable region during the process of moving the hand (with or without objects enclosed in it) or fingers can be significantly larger than the reach-through region in the undeformed state. The elastic access barrier is incorporated into a defined region of a textile object, e.g., a garment, a carrier bag, etc. (sewn in, glued in, welded in, etc.). The elastic access barrier can also be designed as a reach-through barrier between two regions (e.g., between two pocket bags or between different layers) of a textile object. The main advantages are: - In its undeformed state, the reach-through region (hereinafter also referred to as the access opening) always remains closed. - In its undeformed state, the access opening always remains closed and can be kept small in relation to the size of the pocket and / or the objects being transported. - The access opening can be operated with just one hand or with the fingers of one hand. - Despite the narrow reach-through opening, it is easy to reach into even particularly deep pocket bags. - The overlapping fabrics of the elastic access barrier exhibit a corresponding elasticity that allows the elastic access barrier to be stretched sufficiently to move objects (such as telephones, keys, wallets, etc.) through the openings with one hand without significant effort. In this text, the term "textile object" primarily refers to the following product categories. The use of the term "textile" is here not restrictive. This term therefore also encompasses other objects not made from textiles in the narrow sense, which are listed below: - Clothing of all kinds and functions for people and animals. Outerwear, underwear, sportswear, workwear, etc. - Clothing accessories and add-ons, such as knee pad insert pockets, clothing with sports protector inserts, jockstraps, etc. - Carrier bags of all types and functions, including shoulder bags, tool bags, tool belts, cases, backpacks, waist bags, etc. According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the upper portion and the lower portion are also elastically stretchable on the side opposite the reach-through region of the seam connecting only the upper and the lower portion to one another. If both seams only connect the upper and lower portions to one another, preferably the upper and lower portions are also elastically stretchable on the side opposite the reach-through region of both seams connecting the upper and lower portions to one another. These embodiments of the invention have the advantage that the expansion range of the access barrier can be extended beyond the region between the seams. Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention, which do not limit the scope of protection, with reference to the attached drawings.

The drawings show embodiments of devices according to the invention, which are, however, only examples and, apart from the features according to the invention as defined in the claims, can also be designed differently with regard to many components within the scope of the present invention without this requiring special mention below. In particular, components and features described in the various embodiments of the invention can be combined with one another as desired, even without this being expressly mentioned in every possible case. The components described in the various embodiments of the invention can be combined with each other as desired. Description of embodiments of the elastic access barrier (also called elastic barrier or simply barrier): The elastic access barrier 1 (see Fig. 1) is elastically deformable at least in the reach-through region 4. The elastic access barrier 1 (see Fig. 1) is elastically deformable in all directions in and beyond the reach-through region 4, thus at least: - along the short side A - along the long side D - in all transverse directions of A and D. The elastic access barrier 1 (see Fig. 1) is therefore elastically deformable not only within the region D, but also beyond the region D in the longitudinal direction, here parallel to F, and thus also beyond the original relative position between the connecting seams 5A and 5B. Since elastically deformable material is also present outside the reach-through region in the longitudinal direction, the elastic deformation can also occur in a wider region than D. The elastic access barrier and its respective (sub-)portions can take on all possible forms. They can be designed as triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, polygonal symmetrical or asymmetrical figures, circles, ovals, ellipses, and in any other desired shape. The variety of available shapes offers application-specific, technical, as well as optical and design-related advantages. Examples can be seen in the drawings. The reach-through region: For the purpose of a clearer illustration of the functional and component parts of the elastic barrier, region 4 is defined as the reach-through region of the elastic access barrier (or reach-through region for short) based on the schematic drawing shown in Fig. 1. The region is schematically represented in Fig. 1 as a rectangle with adjacent sides A and D. The elastic access barrier 1 (see Fig. 1) consists of an upper portion 2, which in the illustrated embodiment in turn consists of two sub-portions 2A and 2B (see Fig. 5). However, the upper portion 2 can also be single-layered and only have the sub-portion 2A or 2B. The upper portion 2 consists of an elastic material. The elasticity of the upper portion 2 is preferably higher than the elasticity of the adjacent region (upper part of the insert) 17. Optionally, the elasticity of the upper portion 2 can be lower or the same as that of the adjacent region 17, depending on the application. Optionally, the elasticity of the upper portion 2 can be higher, lower or the same as that of the lower portion 3, depending on the application. The elastic access barrier (see Fig. 1) also consists of a lower portion 3, which in the illustrated embodiment in turn consists of two sub-portions 3A and 3B (see Fig. 5). However, the lower portion 3 can also be single-layered and only have the sub-portion 3A or B. The lower portion consists of an elastic material. Preferably, the elasticity of the lower portion 3 is higher than that of the adjacent region 18. Optionally, the elasticity of the lower portion 3 can be lower or the same as that of the adjacent region 18, depending on the application. Optionally, the elasticity of the lower portion 3 can be higher, lower or the same as that of the upper portion 2, depending on the application. The elastic access barrier 1 further consists of connecting seams 5A and 5B (see Fig. 1) which connect the upper portion 2 with the lower portion 3. The elastic access barrier optionally has only one connecting seam 5A or 5B. The second connecting seam is the seam that connects the elastic access barrier to the adjacent fabric (in this case) of the insert. The elastic access barrier 1 can optionally be reinforced with auxiliary seams. To reinforce the connections between portions 2 and 3, auxiliary seams 8A, 8B, 12A, 12B (see Fig. 1) can preferably be used. The elastic access barrier 1 also optionally consists of edge reinforcement elements. The portions 2 and 3 can be reinforced by additional edge reinforcement elements. Optionally, both edge reinforcement elements (in each of the folding edges) or only one edge reinforcement element (in one of the folding edges) can be used. The elastic access barrier 1 can form a unit with the lower part of the insert 18 (see Fig. 1). The elastic access barrier 1 can form a unit with the upper part of the insert 17 (see Fig. 1). The elastic access barrier 1 can form a unit with the lower part of the insert 18 and the upper part of the insert 17 (see Fig. 1). The elastic access barrier 1 can optionally be used as part of a pocket insert 23, which preferably has all the elements of the access barrier of Fig. 1. In this case, the pocket insert consists of the elastic access barrier 1, the upper part of the insert 17 and the lower part of the insert 18. Optionally, the pocket insert consists only of the upper portion of the elastic access barrier 1 and the lower part of the insert 18. In this case, the lower part of the insert 18 fulfills the role of the lower portion 3, provided with corresponding elasticity. The folding edges 6 and 7 (see Fig. 1) run parallel to each other. Optionally, to facilitate access to the reach-through region in application-specific ways, the folding edges 6 and 7 can also run obliquely towards each other (example Fig. 14). Description of embodiments of the positioning, connections and reinforcements of elements of the elastic access barrier: Positioning: A portion 2 or 3 is preferably created by bending / folding centrally a flat piece in half along one side and then folding it together. This results in two sub-portions 2A and 2B or 3A and 3B and folding edges 7 or 6. The upper portion 2 (see Fig. 1) is preferably positioned offset above the lower portion 3, so that portions 2 and 3 have a common surface overlap of width A. The upper portion 2 lies, viewed away from the body of the garment worn by the wearer, in a plane external to the body. The upper portion 2 is positioned optionally offset above the lower portion 3, so that portions 2 and 3 have a common surface overlap of width A. In that case, A=B=C. The upper portion 2 is positioned, optionally offset, over the lower portion 3, so that portions 2 and 3 overlap each other, but the folding edge 7 is positioned congruently with the seam 19. Purpose: Estetic advantages. Optionally, the respective sub-portions 2A and 2B or 3A and 3B can each consist of a flat piece. Two pieces are respectively placed on top of each other and joined together along one side by an elastic connection, preferably by an ultrasonic weld, taking into account a seam allowance. By subsequently folding over the sides of the sub-portions 2A and 2B or 3A and 3B along the connecting seam, a portion with two sub-portions is created. Purpose: This achieves, among other things, a reinforcement of edges 7 and 6, as well as improved protection against the plastic deformation of edges 7 and 6. Connections: The upper portion 2 is preferably connected to the lower portion 3 by at least connecting seams 5A and 5B (see Fig. 5). Both elastic and inelastic yarns can be used. For all connecting seams and auxiliary seams mentioned in this document, ultrasonic welding, adhesive seams and other joining techniques can be used instead of sewing threads, adapted in particular to the elasticity requirements of the respective connection. As shown in Fig. 5, the connecting seams 5A and 5B preferably run continuously through the sub-portions 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B. This design offers the strongest and most stable connection of the four sub-portions mentioned. In another embodiment (no figure available), the connecting seams run over three sub-portions 2B, 3A and 3B. Purpose: This variant offers estetic advantages on the surface of sub-portion 2A, as no seams are visible on the surface in this case. The auxiliary seams 8A, 8B, 12A, 12B can follow the same logic. Elastic access barriers can also be extended by additional reinforcing seams outside the reach-through region 4 along the folding edges 6 and 7. All connecting seams 5A, 5B can extend along the entire width of A. All connecting seams can also be shorter or longer than A and / or consist of several smaller seams. The connecting seams 5A, 5B preferably run in a straight line normal (at an angle of 90°) to edge 7 in the region of A. The connecting seams constitute a central element of the present invention. Thanks to these specially arranged connecting seams, the reach-through region 4 can be kept as small as possible in the undeformed state. However, since in the left region DL (see Fig. 1) and in the right region DR (see Fig. 1) there is also elastically formable material of the elastic access barrier next to the reach-through region 4, an additional expansion capacity can be created for the reach-through region 4. The connecting seams 5A, 5B (see Fig. 1) can optionally run obliquely to the edge 7. These can run at different angles and orientations to each other, depending on the application, and thus, for example, assume a funnel-shaped / trapezoidal shape in the region between A and D. The connecting seams 5A, 5B can optionally run obliquely to the edge 7. The connecting seams can be aligned at different angles relative to the folding edge 7, depending on the application, but must run parallel to each other, thus forming a parallelogram in region A and D. The connecting seams 5A, 5B can also be rounded (e.g. quarter-circle shaped) or beveled in the region of edges 6 and 7, regardless of their orientation. This helps to reduce the number of cracks at the connecting corners between 5A and 8A or 5B and 8B, especially with finer elastic fabrics, which in turn increases the service life of the connection. The connecting seams 5A, 5B can be executed as convex or concave arcs or circular segments along the seam line, regardless of their orientation. The seams 5A and 5B can have any shape. Purpose: In specific applications, this can further facilitate the movement of the hand through the barrier and achieve an even more efficient retention function of the barrier. The use of alternative seam patterns also has design-related advantages. Reinforcements: With particularly demanding operation of the barrier (especially if larger objects are frequently pushed through the barrier), permanent plastic deformations of the folding edges 6 and 7 can occur over time, especially in portion D. To counteract the deformation, portions 2 and 3 can be reinforced by additional reinforcement options. Solutions with and without additional reinforcing elements can be used. For solutions with reinforcement elements, elastic textile bands or silicone bands, hot transfers and similar materials, as well as combinations thereof, can preferably be used. For example, a reinforcing element 10 (see Fig. 5) is an elastic textile band that is inserted between sub-portions 2A and 2B or 3A and 3B. These reinforcement elements are then connected to the respective portions 2 and 3. The reinforcement elements 10 can optionally also be attached to the outer surfaces of the subportions. Purpose: (Manufacturing) advantages, but also design-related advantages. The reinforcements can thus also be used as decorative elements on the visible side. Furthermore, the reinforcement elements used can be applied in the construction using ultrasonic welding. A reinforcement element can be used in both portion 3 and portion 2. Extending the seam allowance creates a space between the ultrasonic seams into which a reinforcement element can be inserted. These reinforcement elements are preferably connected to portions 2 and 3 at the connecting seams 5A and 5B. Furthermore, reinforcement of edges 6 and 7 can be achieved without the use of reinforcement elements. There can be one or more rows of ultrasonic welds running in different orientations, but preferably parallel to edges 6 and 7. Instead of an ultrasonic weld, other joining techniques that meet the elasticity requirements of the joint can also be used. Reinforcements of the barrier by means of an ultrasonic weld can optionally also be used to reinforce the connecting seams 5A, 5B. Description of embodiments of the arrangement and connection of elements of the elastic access barrier with surrounding elements of a textile object: In order for the elastic access barrier to function optimally, it must be incorporated in a position that is optimal for the respective textile object and its pocket type (e.g., inserted, attached, partially attached pocket, or as a special pocket insert, etc.). The following schematically illustrates the positioning of the elastic access barrier using the example of a pocket insert 23 inside the front side pocket of trousers. An insert 23 (see Fig. 1) with an elastic access barrier 1 is preferably sewn onto the rear surface of a pocket bag 21 (see Fig. 6) of an inserted trouser pocket, thus forming an additional pocket bag, the front wall of which consists of a total surface of the elements of the insert 23, i.e. the interconnected pieces 2, 3, 18 and 17 and the rear surface of the pocket bag 21. Alternatively, the front wall can consist of the interconnected pieces 2, 3, 18. Alternatively, pieces 3 and 18 can be made from the same material and / or from a single piece. Purpose: If design requirements, especially application-specific ones, allow it, such a combination offers manufacturing advantages by eliminating seams and sewing processes. Similarly, pieces 17 and 2 can be made from the same material and / or from a single piece. Purpose: If design requirements, especially application-specific ones, allow it, such a combination offers manufacturing advantages by eliminating seams and sewing processes. Optionally, the elastic access barrier 1 is an integral part of the textile object, made of the same material as the portions of the elastic barrier. That is, the elastic pocket barrier is built from parts of the textile object. One use case is elastic sports suits (especially tights), cycling jerseys, etc.). In this case, parts of the elastic object fulfill the role of the upper portion 2 and lower portion 3. In Fig. 6, the total area of the insert 23, i.e., of the interconnected pieces 2, 3, 18 and 17, is smaller than the area of 21. Alternatively, these regions can be congruent, so that the total area of the insert 23 and the area of 21 completely overlap each other. Positioning angle of the elastic access barrier 1 in the textile object 24: The positioning angle a of the elastic access barrier (formed between the auxiliary lines F and E, see Fig. 1) can range from 0° to 90°. 0° means that the edge 7 runs parallel to auxiliary line 7. 90° means that the edge 7 runs perpendicular to auxiliary line E. When used with a front side pocket of trousers, the optimal angle a is in the range of 15°-50° depending on the type of pocket (approx. 35° in the illustration). In the application shown, the positioning in this angular range ensures that when the wearer of the trousers assumes a sitting position, the unfavorable trapezoidal deformation of the reach-through region 4 is minimized. The trapezoidal deformation (using trousers as an example) usually occurs in the wearer seated position due to the hip and thigh coming closer together (at an angle of approximately 90°). This leads to the fact that the so called pocket mouth is deformed in length D, and this can lead to a partial opening of the reach-through region 23, and the objects stored in the pocket could fall out. To counteract this, the choice of positioning angle is particularly essential. Another element for optimal positioning of the elastic access barrier 1 is the positioning of the reach-through region 4 and thus of D along the edge 7. The choice of distances between the intersection point 5A with 7 and the reference point 22 is essential for the application-specific optimal positioning. On the one hand, the point must not be too close to the reference point 22, and on the other hand, it must not be too close to the intersection point 5A with 7. If the distances are chosen incorrectly, the operation of the elastic access barrier is made more difficult, particularly due to the lack of accessibility of the reach-through region 4. To counteract the aforementioned negative effect of the trapezoidal deformation of the reach-through region 4, in addition to the application-optimized selection of the positioning angle, the dimensioning and the size relationship of dimensions A and D are also important. The reach-through region 4 shown in Fig. 1 has the approximate dimensions A = 3 to D = 11. These depend in particular on the following influencing factors: application-specific requirements of the respective textile object into which an elastic access barrier is installed; type and size of the objects to be transported through the barrier (possibly including the operator's hand, which grasps the object to be transported); garment size of the object, etc. These mentioned dimensions and their ratio can vary depending on the constellation of influencing factors, i.e., according to requirements. Special versions of the elastic access barrier with the surrounding elements of a textile object: Application of two and more adjacent, elastic access barriers (Fig. 23) using the example of a (horizontal) application in a cyclist's jersey. What is special here, besides the arrangement of the pockets, is that in this case the sewing edge 28 of the elastic access barrier also serves as a connecting seam. When reaching through, the material is elastically deformed as follows. - D1 into regions D2 and D4. - D2 into regions D1 and D3 - D4 into regions D1 and D5 Application of two or more adjacent elastic access barriers in a vertical position in combination with two or more fully overlapping or offset superimposed pocket bags (Fig. 22). When reaching through, the material is elastically deformed as follows. - D2 into regions D3 and D4. - D4 into regions D2 and D5 Reach-through barrier between two (partially) superimposed pocket bags: Lower pocket bag 26 and upper pocket bag 27. These pocket bags can be independent of each other or connected by a barrier 25. This barrier can also be designed as an elastic access barrier. The elastic access barrier has only one connecting seam 5A or 5B. The seam at the opposite end serves as the second connecting seam. This variant is shown in the figure with several adjacent elastic access barriers. However, this variant can also be designed as a single barrier (see Fig. 13). The elastic access barrier is not directly connected to the actual pocket. The elastic access barrier 1 lies over a pocket bag 26. The access barrier and the pocket bag are only indirectly connected via a common third surface 24 (see Fig. 29) on which they are attached. The elastic access barrier 1 (see Fig. 31, 32) with a pocket bag 26 connected to it form a shoulder bag. The elastic access barrier 1 (see Fig. 33) can also be used as a trousers fly instead of a zipper. The same principle can also be applied to underwear. The elastic access barrier can be positioned differently here. Perpendicular, horizontal or oblique to the belt line or waistband 35. Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of the invention with further openings 101 and 101'. Another opening 101' is arranged above the reach-through region 4. Through the further opening 101', items 103, in particular mobile phones (for example a smartphone), can be placed in the pocket. These then fall into the lower region 18 of the pocket. The further opening 101' can essentially run parallel to the (trouser) waistband 106. The further opening can also run vertically or at a different angle to the (trouser) waistband. Another opening 101 can optionally be arranged at the same height as the reach-through region 4. Optionally, another opening can also be located below the reach-through region. The further opening 101, 101' can be elastic, partially elastic or inelastic. An inelastic further opening 101, 101' is somewhat safer against an object accidentally slipping out. An elastic additional opening 101, 101' is somewhat more comfortable to use and fits more easily into elastic garments, such as jogging pants. An elastic, partially elastic or inelastic further opening 101, 101' can be reinforced by a stiffening element to further increase safety. The stiffening element (10) can be arranged inside or outside (visible / not visible) the first opening (1). The stiffening element (10) may contain polyester, polyamide, nylon, cotton, thermal fabrics, rubber, silicone, and mixtures of these materials and similar materials. The further opening can have a width of at least 1.5 cm. This also allows smaller items such as a small pocket knife, small tools, etc. to be placed inside. The further opening can have a width of at least 3 cm. The further opening can have a width of at least 7 cm. The further opening can also have a width of 8 cm to 12 cm. The further opening can be covered by a layer of fabric 108, in particular a layer of fabric 108 of the textile object or actual garment. The further opening can be concealed by a cover strip. The further opening 101' can be arranged in an outermost layer of fabric 108 of the garment. The additional opening can be located in a layer of fabric within the garment pocket. The further opening can be slit-shaped, circular, oval / elliptical, triangular or polygonal. The further opening can have an additional protective layer of fabric 120 connected to it from the inside (see Fig. 4, 18). This protective fabric layer 120 can additionally be connected to the pocket bag of the pocket by a connection of the protective fabric layer 120. The further opening can have an additional protective fabric layer 120 connected to the further opening from the inside (see Fig. 4). This protective fabric layer 120 can additionally be connected to the fabric layer 108 by a connection 120'. The reach-through region 4 can be arranged at an angle to a side seam 109 (see Fig. 1) of 15° to 85°. This ensures quick, ergonomic access to the pocket. The reach-through region 4 and the further opening(s) 101, 101' extend into the same pocket. The pocket can be a separate pocket from the actual clothing pocket (especially trouser pocket). The pocket can replace the actual clothing pocket (especially trouser pocket). The openings 4, 101, 101' extend into the actual clothing pocket (especially trouser pocket). To prevent items 103 from accidentally slipping through the reach-through region 4 when inserted through the further opening 101', a guide element 113 (see Fig. 2, 3, 4) can preferably be used in the form of a seam. Depending on the chosen arrangement of the first opening to the reach-through region 4, the seam can take on 4 different sizes, shapes (bars, lines, circles, semicircles, triangles, etc.) and positions. Figures 2, 3, and 4 show an example of a guide element 113. As an alternative to a guide element , the upper portion of the reach-through region 4 can be extended by an inner protective portion 118 (Figs. 24 to 28). This prevents objects from unintentionally sliding through the reach-through region 4. Application of the arrangement of the reach-through region 4 and a further opening 101' using a carrier bag: In Fig. 16 the further opening 101' is located on the outer surface of the carrier bag 115. The reach-through region 4 is located inside the carrier bag 115. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 16, the pocket bag is located inside the carrier bag 115. This is illustrated by a dash line as the edge of pocket bag 114. The pocket bag with the elastic pocket barrier 1 can optionally also be positioned outside the outer surface of the carrier bag. The pocket bag with the elastic pocket barrier 1 can optionally be designed as a removable pocket bag on the outer surface or inside the carrier bag as an element that can be attached and removed without damage (using, for example, straps, buttons, Velcro fasteners, etc.). Depending on the design of the respective carrier bag 115, in all the above-mentioned design options only the reach-through region 4 may be present and used simultaneously for putting in and taking out items. Optionally, in all the above-mentioned design options, the additional opening 101' and the reach-through region 4 can be positioned within the carrier bag 115. The principle described in connection with a carrier bag can also be applied to clothing (especially outerwear such as blazers, coats, jackets, etc.). With a jacket, the additional opening can be located for example in the outer layer (e.g., pocket square pocket) and allow an object to be inserted. The removal is done from the inside of the jacket, which of course does not preclude removal from the outside. Interconnected openings of a security arrangement. In one embodiment, an opening 101 (see e.g. Fig. 25), which is hereinafter referred to as a "further opening", is preferably located partly between the inner protective portion 118 at the reach-through region 4 and partly between parts of the pocket bag (mainly in the case of inserted pockets) or the fabric layer 108 of the textile object (mainly in the case of attached pockets). The inner protective portion 118 can also be pulled upwards again at a fold-over edge 148, thus forming a folded region 119 (outer protective portion). Because the material from which the protective portion 118 and the folded region 119 are made is more elastic than the material of the pocket bag or fabric layer 108, 149 of the textile object, the further opening 101 can deform elastically (expand) without damage when objects (which have a larger circumference than the further opening 101) are pushed through into the pocket insert 127 and then (after the object has been moved through the opening) deform back into its original state (shrink). This is particularly important because the items (e.g. mobile phones) inserted into the pocket insert 127 should no longer slip out through this opening. The further opening 101 (see Fig. 25) is preferably created by connecting the inner protective portion 118 with the parts of the pocket bag of the fabric layer of the textile object 149 or the folded region 119 by means of connections 121 and 122. The course of the connections 121 and 122 shown in Fig. 25 represents one of the possible variants. These can change depending primarily on the type of textile object, the type of pocket (inserted, attached, etc.), the positioning of the pocket on the textile object, the orientation of the pocket opening, and the use of additional closure elements such as zippers, buttons, etc. Between the upper connection 140 on the left (see Fig. 26) and the upper connection 139 on the right lies the further opening 101. As mentioned, this insertion opening 101 is a guide between the inner protective portion 118 and the folded region or outer protective portion 119. The object is guided past the connections 146, 147 through an elastic opening 145 in the folding edge 148 into the bag of the insert 23. The orientation angle to be selected for the folding edge 129 of the inner protective layer 118 (see Fig. 12) to a side seam 109 corresponds to the ergonomic requirements of the respective pocket access. This alignment angle can range from 0° (parallel to the side seam) to over 90°. However, this angle (for example in jacket pockets) is usually between 15° and 85°. This ensures quick, ergonomic access to the pocket insert 127 or the pocket 104. The arrangement can also include more than one additional opening in the pocket insert 127. As an example, a second further opening 101' (see Fig. 12) is shown in combination with a first further opening 101. The purpose of this combination is to allow items to be placed into the pocket insert 127 without having to open the zipper 126 to place items through the first further opening 101. In another arrangement there is also more than one further opening in the pocket insert 104 (see Fig. 20). In the arrangement (see Fig. 12) there can also optionally be an additional separating seam 131 in the pocket insert 127, which is generally known from the prior art. This serves to organize the items positioned in the pocket insert 127 and to store them separately in a kind of not completely separated compartments. In combination with the arrangements described above with more than one further opening (see Fig. 12), for example an item 103, which is inserted through the further opening 101', falls into one of the compartments defined by the separating seam. The positioning and size of the separating seam 131 is adapted to the specific circumstances of the application of a pocket insert 127 or the pocket 104. This separating seam can be used in all variants and types of pocket inserts 127 or pocket 104. The position and size of the opening 101 is primarily determined by the connections 121 and 122. The position of the opening 101 can be located centrally along the folding edge 129 of the inner protective layer 118 of the further opening 101, as shown, for example, in Fig. 25. The position of the opening 101 can also be located in a decentralized position along the folding edge 129 of the further opening 101, as shown in Fig. 12. For example, in a pocket with a zipper 126 (see Fig. 12). Purpose: When the zipper 126 is not closed, this positioning ensures that smaller items, which are already in the pocket insert 127, do not fall out. The further opening 101 can have an additional protective fabric layer 120 connected to the further opening from the inside (see Fig. 18). This protective fabric layer 120 can additionally be connected to the pocket bag of the pocket by a connection 120'. The further opening can have an additional protective fabric layer connected to the further opening from the inside. This protective fabric layer can additionally be connected to the fabric layer 108 by a connection 120'. Optionally, another opening can also be part of a separate fabric portion. This separate fabric portion is preferably connected to the inner protective portion of the reach-through region 4 by means of the connection. This solution can be particularly advantageous for patch pockets. The separate fabric portion, and thus the further opening, can optionally be covered from above by means of a cover strip over the entire area or partially, in order to provide additional (weather) protection. Instead of the inner protective portion, a separate fabric portion sewn onto (or otherwise connected to) the access barrier 1 can also be used. In addition to the connecting seams 121 and 122, further seams can also be used to reinforce the further opening or the entire arrangement. Depending on the application and / or the type and size of the objects being conveyed through the further opening 101, the connecting seams may have different seam paths and distances from each other. This type of arrangement of a further opening 101, 101' can be implemented as a pocket insert 127 in a pocket or on the surface of the garment as a pocket 104. Both openings extend into the same pocket insert 127. The pocket insert 127 can be a pocket separate from the actual pocket of the textile object (especially trouser pocket). The pocket insert 127 can replace the pocket 104 of the textile object. Depending on the construction of the textile object, there may only be the reach-through region 4. In this case, the reach-through region 4 fulfills both functions, including the function of further opening. This means that only one opening can be used at a time for inserting and removing items. Depending on the construction of the textile object, there may be only the further opening in the embodiments represented above. The reach-through region 4 can alternatively be designed with a conventional, open pocket access. Alternatively, the reach-through region 4 can be fitted with a zipper, Velcro closure, button closure, or other conventional closure of the pocket access. Application of the arrangement of the reach-through region 4 and the further opening using a carrier bag. In Fig. 16, the further opening 101' is located on the outer surface of the carrier bag 115. The reach-through region 4 is located inside the carrier bag 115. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 16, the pocket bag 114 is located inside the carrier bag 115. This is illustrated by a dash line as the edge of pocket bag 114. The pocket bag can optionally also be positioned outside the outer surface of the carrier bag. The pocket bag can optionally be designed as a removable pocket bag on the outer surface or inside the carrier bag as an element that can be attached and removed without damage (using, for example, straps, buttons, Velcro fasteners, etc.). Depending on the design of the respective carrier bag 115, the reach-through region 4 can fulfill both functions in all the above-mentioned design options, including the function of further opening. In this case, only the reach-through region 4 can be used simultaneously for inserting and removing items. Optionally, in all the above-mentioned design options, the further opening and the reach-through region 4 can be positioned within the carrier bag 115. Safety arrangement of the further opening 101 (see Fig. 11): The elastic further opening 101 has, among other things, the connections 132 and 133, the edge connections 39 and 40, and the inclined connections 137 and 138. This arrangement can be used as a pocket insert 127', i.e., inside a pocket of a textile object. This arrangement can also be used as an attached pocket (as shown in Fig. 11) on the upper fabric layer 108 of a textile object. The arrangement has the technical feature that objects can easily be inserted through such an opening. This solution offers better protection against objects falling out than a conventional open pocket. This is made possible in particular by a tension at the further opening 101, which is ensured by the connections 139 and 140 and - depending on the respective embodiment - possibly also by the connections 132 and 133. Even if the fabric layer of the textile object is inelastic or only slightly elastic, the wider opening, which is elastic to at least 180°, can expand and contract elastically and without damage when objects are inserted and removed. This solution can be applied equally to textile objects whose fabric layer (i.e., the fabric from which the textile object is made) is as elastic as or less elastic than the arrangement. Connections 137 and 138 primarily serve to facilitate the removal of items from the pocket insert by guiding the items through the approximately funnelshaped channel. The edge 128 of the pocket insert is connected to the fabric layer 108. When used in a pocket with a pocket bag, the pocket insert is connected to the surface of the pocket bag (see edge 128 of the pocket bag). The upper connection 132 and the lower connection 133 are optional and can also be omitted. In that case, the edge connections 139 and 140 and the oblique connections 137 and 138 would be directly connected to each other. The upper connection 132 and the lower connection 133 can be made relatively shorter or longer than shown in Fig. 11. Extending the connections has, among other things, the positive effect of making the movement of the user hand more pleasant to the touch due to the wider opening. Arrangements with more than one additional opening 101 can be provided, i.e. further openings next to, below and / or above each other. The access barrier 1 shown in Fig. 26 has a protective portion 118 and a fabric portion 119, as well as the further opening 101, which leads into the region between the fabric portion or the folded region 119 and the protective portion 118. The protective portion 118 and the folded region 119 are connected to each other via two connections 146, 147. The distance between the two connections 146, 147 decreases in the direction away from the further opening 101. This design offers additional protection for preventing the object already in the pocket or insert from moving out through the insertion opening 101. In the variant shown in Fig. 26, the protective portion 118 and the folded region 119 are also connected to each other and to the wall 149 via the edge connections 139 and 140. The access barrier 1 shown in Fig. 27 has a protective portion 118 and a fabric portion 119, as well as the further opening 101, which leads into the region between the fabric portion or the folded region 119 and the protective portion 118. The protective portion 118 and the folded region 119 are connected to each other via two connections 146, 147. The distance between the two connections 146, 147 decreases in the direction away from the further opening 101. The sides of the protective portion 118 and the folded region 119 lying outside the connections 146, 147 are not connected in portions to any other element of the textile object and / or the access barrier 1. This is represented by the edges 150 of the funnel (other shapes are also possible here). In the variant shown in Fig. 27, the protective portion 118 and the folded region 119 are also connected to each other and to the wall 149 via the edge connections 139 and 140. This design offers additional protection for preventing the item already in the pocket or insert from moving out through the insertion opening 101. The access barrier 1 shown in Fig. 28, the protective portion 118 and the fabric portion 119 have the shape of a circular segment. This shape is designed for ergonomic positioning and thus better accessibility of the access barrier 1 and the further opening 101. The protective portion 118 and the folded region 119 are connected to each other via two connections 146, 147. The course of the connections 146, 147 from the further opening 101 (see folding edge 129) in the direction of edge 153 has a cone-like course. Other forms of connections 146 and 147 are also possible. The routing of the connections 146, 147 is intended to provide additional protection against an object located in the pocket or insert moving out through the insertion opening 101. In the variant shown in Fig. 28, a protective portion of the insertion outlet 154 of the protective portion 118 is folded over the folding edge 157 onto the fabric portion 119. This also is intended to provide additional protection against an object located in the pocket or insert moving out through the insertion opening 101. Objects can be inserted into the pocket or insert through the insertion opening 101. When the object reaches the region around the folding edge 157 during insertion, the protective portion of the insertion outlet 154 is momentarily pushed away. As soon as the item 103 is in the pocket or insert, the protective portion of the insertion outlet 154 moves back into the overlapping state. The protective portion of the insertion outlet 154 can be applied analogously to the embodiments of Figs. 24 to 28. The same protective function can also be applied analogously to the insertion opening shown in Fig. 18 with a protective fabric layer 120. The fabric of the protective layer 120 is folded over from the lower edge upwards and connected to the guide element 113. This creates the same protective effect, namely that an object located in the pocket or insert does not move out through the insertion opening 101'. The embodiment of an access barrier 1 shown in Fig. 35 on a T-shirt illustrates two applications of the present invention using the example of outerwear. The illustrated breast pockets show different positionings of the access barrier 1 in combination with that of the insertion opening 101'. In the left breast pocket, the objects are inserted from above through the insertion opening 101' and removed via the access barrier 1, which is arranged horizontally here. This corresponds in essence to the operating principle shown in Fig. 26. The right breast pocket shows an embodiment in which the insertion opening 101 is positioned differently than the access barrier 1. This in turn corresponds analogously to the functional principle shown in Fig. 3. The positions and angular orientations of the insertion opening 101 and the access barrier 1 chosen here are only exemplary and can be chosen differently according to the application and ergonomics.
