Abstract
Description
Domaine Technique
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of garment storage systems, for example, for a jacket, allowing the garment to be stored when not in use. The invention particularly relates to storage systems that can be worn around the waist by a user. These systems are especially useful during hiking, where hikers regularly need to put on or take off protective clothing, such as a jacket or rain pants, depending on the weather conditions. Technique antérieure
[0002] We know of storage bags designed to hold a garment, particularly a jacket, that are mounted on a belt worn around the user's waist. A zipper then allows the bag containing the garment to be closed.
[0003] One drawback of these storage bags is that the user has to manually place the jacket inside by stuffing it in. This process is particularly time-consuming and cumbersome, and risks creasing or even damaging the garment. In particular, it is often difficult to close the zipper without tearing the clothing.
[0004] Storage systems such as the one described in document WO2004103102 A1 are also known, which include a pocket formed inside a jacket. To store the jacket in the pocket, the user must remove the jacket, grasp the pocket in one hand and a jacket sleeve in the other. They then insert the jacket into the pocket, again manually stuffing it into the pocket.
[0005] One drawback is that inserting the jacket into the pocket is particularly difficult. Furthermore, the user must first pick up both the pocket and the jacket, meaning the pocket cannot be carried by the user, for example, on a belt. An alternative storage system is described in US patent 2009 / 205102 A1. Exposé de l'invention
[0006] One aim of the present invention is to provide a storage system that remedies the aforementioned drawbacks.
[0007] To this end, the invention relates to a garment storage system, for example a jacket, around the waist of a user, the storage system comprising a pocket including a first pocket part having at least one opening and a second pocket part connected to the first pocket part, said second pocket part having an end part cooperating with a fastener configured to be connected to said garment, said second pocket part being able to take a retracted position in which it extends at least partially inside the first pocket part, and a deployed position in which it extends out of the first pocket part, in line with said first pocket part, so as to define with said first pocket part an internal volume for the pocket,the storage system further comprising a pulling device cooperating with the end part of the second pocket part, the pulling device allowing the said end part of the second pocket part to be pulled so as to turn the second pocket part on itself and bring the second pocket part from the retracted position to the deployed position, whereby said second pocket part draws said garment into the interior volume of the pocket, via said opening of the first pocket part.
[0008] The storage system according to the invention is particularly suitable for storing all types of clothing, including jackets, trousers, or jerseys, around a user's waist. This storage system is also suitable for being worn by the user at waist level, for example, mounted on a belt or attached to another garment worn by the user at waist level.
[0009] This opening advantageously defines a free edge for the first pocket section. The first and second pocket sections preferably each have the shape of a sleeve. The first pocket section advantageously extends along a longitudinal direction.
[0010] Without limitation, the end portion of the second pocket part may include an opening.
[0011] Preferably, but not exclusively, the first pocket section and the second pocket section form two separate pieces joined together, for example by stitching. In this configuration, the first pocket section advantageously includes a first connecting edge, while the second pocket section includes a second connecting edge. The first connecting edge is then advantageously joined to the second connecting edge to form the pocket. The first connecting edge of the first pocket section is advantageously positioned opposite the opening.
[0012] Alternatively, the first pocket part and the second pocket part can form a single piece.
[0013] Preferably, the pulling device includes a handle and a cord connecting said handle to the end part of the second pocket part.
[0014] The second pocket section advantageously comprises a wall having a first face and a second face. When the second pocket section is in the retracted position, the first face advantageously extends outwards from the second pocket section, while the second face extends inwards from the second pocket section. In the retracted position, the second pocket section advantageously extends inwards, while in the deployed position, it extends upright.
[0015] Advantageously, the drawing device is connected to the end part of the second pocket part.
[0016] Without limitation, the pulling device may be attached to the end portion of the second pocket section. Alternatively, and without departing from the scope of the invention, the pulling device may cooperate with the end portion of the second pocket section without being attached to it. Also without departing from the scope of the invention, the pulling device may be slidably mounted to the end portion of the second pocket section.
[0017] The drawing device is advantageously connected to the second face of said wall of the second part of the pocket.
[0018] In the retracted position, the second pocket section advantageously extends inside the first pocket section for more than half its length, preferably almost entirely inside the first pocket section. Furthermore, when the second pocket section is retracted, it advantageously extends through the opening of the first pocket section so that its end portion advantageously extends beyond the first pocket section.
[0019] The said attachment is advantageously connected to the first face of the said wall of the second pocket section. The said attachment advantageously extends out of the second pocket section when the said second pocket section is in the retracted position.
[0020] Advantageously, the end part of the second pocket part is equipped with the fastener.
[0021] Preferably, the fastener is configured to be connected to said garment in order to secure said garment to the second part of the pocket.
[0022] Without limitation, said fastener may be attached to the end portion of the second pocket section. Alternatively, and without departing from the scope of the invention, said fastener may cooperate with the end portion of the second pocket section without being attached to said end portion of the second pocket section. Without limitation, said fastener may be slidably mounted to the end portion of the second pocket section.
[0023] Thanks to this invention, when the garment is outside the pocket, particularly when worn, the second pocket section, in its retracted position, extends inside the first pocket section, significantly reducing the bulk of the pocket and therefore the storage system. Consequently, the storage system can be easily worn by the user at waist level, for example, attached to a belt, without causing any discomfort. This storage system is especially useful for hiking, where the bulk of the equipment carried must be minimal.
[0024] To stow the garment and bring it into the pocket and around their waist, the user removes the garment and then applies a pulling force to the end of the second pocket section using the draw device. This pulling force is advantageously directed in the opposite direction to the opening of the first pocket section. This pulling force is advantageously directed along the longitudinal direction of the first pocket section. This force is advantageously directed substantially horizontally. This pulling force is, for example, applied by pulling on a handle of the draw device.
[0025] This pulling force causes the second pocket section to move along the same longitudinal direction as the first pocket section. The second pocket section is pulled out of the first pocket section and simultaneously folded back on itself. Using the fastener, the garment is pulled and guided into the pocket through the opening of the first pocket section. The garment then expands within the pocket's interior volume.
[0026] Said attachment is preferably configured to pass through said opening of the first pocket part when the second pocket part is brought from the retracted position to the deployed position.
[0027] Preferably, when the second pocket section is in the deployed position, the garment extends partly inside the first pocket section and partly inside the second pocket section. Alternatively, the garment could extend entirely inside the second pocket section.
[0028] The internal volume of the pocket corresponds to the internal volume of the first part of the pocket plus the internal volume of the second part of the pocket in the deployed position.
[0029] The second part of the pocket therefore acts as a guide to bring the garment into the pocket, but also as a housing to receive the garment.
[0030] When the second pocket section is in the deployed position, the first face of the wall of the second pocket section advantageously extends inwards while the second face of said wall extends outwards. In other words, the second pocket section extends in its upright position when deployed.
[0031] In the deployed position, the second pocket section protrudes from one side of the first pocket section opposite the opening.
[0032] Thanks to the invention, the deployment of the second pocket section guides the garment into the pocket's interior. The garment is then easily and quickly placed inside the pocket with a single pulling motion using the pull mechanism. Specifically, the user does not need to directly manipulate the garment to place it inside the pocket, as it is guided inward during the deployment of the second pocket section. In other words, the invention eliminates the particularly tedious step of stuffing the garment into a pocket. Consequently, the garment stored in the pocket of the system according to the invention is less wrinkled, and the risk of damage to the garment is reduced.
[0033] The user is also not required to hold the pocket in their hands to store the garment, allowing the pocket to be left attached at the user's waist, for example on a belt, behind the user's back. Storing the garment is further simplified.
[0034] In addition, the internal volume of the pocket when the second part of the pocket is in the deployed position is greater than its volume when the second part of the pocket is in the retracted position, allowing it to accommodate the entire garment, regardless of its size.
[0035] The garment stored in the pocket is then positioned at the user's waist. When the second part of the pocket is in the deployed position, the pocket can be rolled, at least partially, around the user's waist.
[0036] When the user wishes to wear the garment again, they pull on the garment to remove it from the pocket, through the opening.
[0037] Through the fastening, this pulling force on the garment causes the second pocket section to move inside the first pocket section, into the retracted position. The second pocket section folds back on itself when moving from the deployed to the retracted position.
[0038] According to a first advantageous variant, the storage system further includes a belt configured to encircle the user's waist, with the first part of the pocket being mounted on this belt. One advantage is that it allows the user to easily carry the pocket, at their waist, both when the garment is being worn and when the garment is stored in the pocket. The pocket can remain attached to the belt when the garment is stored in the pocket.
[0039] The pocket is advantageously mounted on a rear portion of the belt configured to extend into the user's back, whereby the said pocket extends into the user's back when the belt is worn.
[0040] The said pocket is advantageously mounted in a removable manner on the said belt.
[0041] According to a second advantageous variant, the storage system further comprises a belt portion extending between a first end and a second end of said first pocket portion and configured to encircle the user's waist. This belt portion is advantageously attached to said first and second ends of the first pocket portion. This belt portion allows said pocket to be held in place around the user's waist.
[0042] Advantageously, the end portion of the second pocket part in the deployed position is configured to be connected to the first pocket part so that said pocket forms a loop encircling the user's waist.
[0043] One advantage is the ability to wrap the pouch around the user's waist and hold it in that position, reducing its bulk and making it easier to carry when the second part of the pouch is deployed and the garment is stored inside. It follows that the garment stored in the pouch also extends around the user's waist.
[0044] The end part of the second pocket part can be connected directly or indirectly to the first pocket part.
[0045] Preferably, after pulling on the second pocket section using the pulling device, the user wraps the pocket around their waist, for example by continuing to pull on the end section of the second pocket section. They can then connect this end section to the first pocket section to form the loop and secure the pocket around their waist.
[0046] Advantageously, the first pocket part, the belt or the portion of the belt includes a connection means, the end part of the second pocket part being provided with a linking member configured to cooperate with said connection means when said second pocket part is in the deployed position, in order to connect the end part of the second pocket part to the first pocket part.
[0047] The connection device can be located on the first pocket section, on the belt if the storage system includes one, or on the belt portion if the storage system includes one. The connection device is preferably located near the opening of the first pocket section.
[0048] When the first pocket section includes said connection means, the end portion of the second pocket section is directly connected to the first pocket section. When the belt or portion of the belt includes said connection means, the end portion of the second pocket section is indirectly connected to the first pocket section.
[0049] The means of connection cooperating with the linking organ allows the pouch to be kept wrapped around the user's waist.
[0050] The connecting means may include, but are not limited to, a hook, a connecting tab, a portion of a quick-release buckle, or a portion of hook-and-loop fastener. The connecting element may also include, but is not limited to, a hook, a connecting tab, a portion of a quick-release buckle, or a portion of hook-and-loop fastener.
[0051] According to a particularly advantageous aspect, the pulling device includes said linking member, by means of which the pulling device makes it possible to bring the second part of the pocket into the deployed position but also to connect the end part of the second part of the pocket to the first part of the pocket.
[0052] One advantage is that it allows the user to more easily connect the end of the second pocket section to the first pocket section to form the loop around their waist. Holding the pull device with one hand, the user can pull the garment into the pocket and then continue pulling to engage the connecting element with the connecting means. The handle of the pull device can, for example, incorporate the connecting element and be configured to work with the connecting means.
[0053] According to another advantageous embodiment, the storage system comprises a belt configured to encircle the user's waist, the first pocket portion being mounted on the belt, the belt comprising a connecting means, the end portion of the second pocket portion being provided with a linking member configured to cooperate with the connecting means when the second pocket portion is in the deployed position. Preferably, the connecting means is disposed in a front portion of the belt configured to extend in front of the user, thereby extending the connecting means in front of the user when the belt is worn.
[0054] Advantageously, the pulling device includes said connecting element.
[0055] Preferably, the second pocket section, when deployed, is designed to fold over the first pocket section before connecting the linking device. One advantage is that the second pocket section also extends down the user's back and does not interfere with their movement. This also reduces the pocket's bulk when the garment is stored.
[0056] Preferably, the first and second pocket sections are made of different materials. The first pocket section is preferably made of a waterproof material, for example, a woven membrane material. The second pocket section is preferably made of a stretch material, for example, stretch fabric.
[0057] Advantageously, the second pocket section is elastically deformable, so its volume in the extended position is greater than its volume in the retracted position. One benefit is that the second pocket section deforms elastically when brought from the retracted to the extended position, due to the pulling force exerted by the draw device on its end. This deformation allows the garment to be drawn deeper into the pocket. Furthermore, when not being pulled, for example, when the garment is being worn, the second pocket section retracts, thus reducing its bulk.
[0058] The second part of the pocket advantageously exhibits greater elasticity than the first part of the pocket.
[0059] Preferably, said opening is made on a first side of the first part of the pocket, so that said garment is brought into said inner volume of the pocket by said first side of said first part of the pocket.
[0060] Said opening is advantageously formed in said first side of the first part of pocket.
[0061] The garment is therefore not brought into the pocket from the top or bottom, but laterally. The garment is advantageously moved into the pocket along the longitudinal direction of the first part of the pocket.
[0062] Preferably, the end of the second pocket section is horn-shaped. One advantage is that it reduces the bulk of the second pocket section. In other words, the second pocket section has a pointed or tapered shape.
[0063] Advantageously, said attachment extends inside said second pocket part when the latter is in the deployed position.
[0064] Advantageously, said attachment extends outside said second part of pocket when the latter is in the retracted position.
[0065] Preferably, the pulling device comprises a handle and a cord connecting said handle to the end of the second pocket section. One advantage is that it facilitates deploying the second pocket section by allowing easy application of a pulling force by pulling on said handle. The pulling force applied to the handle is transmitted to the end of the second pocket section via the cord.
[0066] When the second pocket section is in the retracted position, the cord preferably extends at least partially inside the second pocket section, and even more preferably over more than half of its length.
[0067] The said cord is advantageously elastically deformable.
[0068] In an advantageous embodiment, the pull device is slidably mounted on the end portion of the second pocket section. In this embodiment, the pull device is not fixed to said end portion of the second pocket section. One advantage is that the pull device can be retracted inside the second pocket section when the latter is in the retracted position.
[0069] Preferably, an opening is provided in the end part of the second part of the pocket, the drawing device further comprising a locking member cooperating with the cord, the cord of the drawing device passing through the opening so that said handle and said locking member extend on either side of the opening.
[0070] By pulling the handle, the cord slides inside the opening until the locking mechanism presses against the end of the second pocket section, at the level of the opening. By continuing to pull the handle, the locking mechanism pulls on the end of the second pocket section, turning the second pocket section in on itself and bringing it from the retracted to the extended position.
[0071] Because the cord slides through the opening, it can be more easily routed inside the second pocket section when it is in the retracted position, thus reducing the bulk of the pull device and preventing the cord and handle from dangling at the user's side. Another advantage is the ability to shorten the cord.
[0072] Without limitation, said opening may be provided with an eyelet to facilitate the sliding of the cord.
[0073] Advantageously, when the second pocket section is in the retracted position, the locking mechanism extends out of both the first and second pocket sections. Advantageously, when the second pocket section is in the deployed position, the locking mechanism extends inside the second pocket section.
[0074] The locking device is preferably connected to the cord, or even more preferably, attached to the cord. The locking device may be in the form of a cord stop, a ring connected to the cord, or a knot formed on the cord.
[0075] In an advantageous embodiment, the fastener is slidably mounted on the end of the second pocket section. One benefit is that the fastener can be retracted more easily and efficiently inside the second pocket section when it is in the deployed position.
[0076] Preferably, an opening is provided in the end part of the second pocket part, the attachment comprising a strap and a locking piece cooperating with said strap, said strap passing through said opening so that the locking piece extends out of the second pocket part when the latter is in the deployed position.
[0077] By pulling on the garment, the strap slides inside the opening until the locking piece rests against the end of the second pocket section, at the level of the opening. By continuing to pull on the garment, the locking piece pulls on the end of the second pocket section, turning the second pocket section in on itself and bringing it from the deployed to the retracted position.
[0078] As the strap slides through the opening, the garment can be brought deeper into the pocket by pulling on the portion of said strap extending out of the second part of the pocket, when the second part of the pocket is in the deployed position.
[0079] The locking piece preferably extends inside the second part of the pocket when the latter is in the retracted position.
[0080] The fastener advantageously includes a loop portion connected to said strap.
[0081] Preferably, said attachment and said pulling device together form a pulling element which is mounted to slide relative to the end part of the second pocket part.
[0082] Preferably, an opening is provided in the end portion of the second pocket section, and the traction element comprises a slender element that slides through said opening. Preferably, the fastening strap and the cord of the traction device together form the slender element of the traction element. The slender element slides advantageously within said opening. One advantage is that it allows the use of a single slender element whose length is less than the combined lengths of a strap and cord that would be attached to the end portion of the second pocket section. It is understood that the locking mechanism and the locking piece cooperate with said slender element, preferably are connected to said slender element, or even more preferably are fixed to said slender element.
[0083] Preferably, the locking piece and the locking mechanism extend on either side of the orifice. Preferably, the locking piece and the locking mechanism are spaced apart.
[0084] The invention also relates to a clothing set comprising a garment, for example a jacket, and a storage system as described above, said fastener being connected to a portion of the garment for securing it.
[0085] Preferably, the fastening portion includes a fastening element configured to cooperate with the fastener. The fastening element may, for example, include a quick-release buckle or a hook-and-loop fastener.
[0086] Preferably, this fastener is connected to the securing portion in a removable manner. One advantage is the ability to disconnect the garment from the storage system when it is desired to use or store them separately.
[0087] Preferably, the garment is a jacket.
[0088] To put the jacket in the pocket, the user first unfastens the jacket so that it hangs from the pocket, before using the pull mechanism to bring it into said pocket.
[0089] Without going outside the scope of the invention, and in a non-limiting manner, the garment could be trousers or a jersey.
[0090] Advantageously, said garment fastening portion is located between a shoulder portion and a waist portion of the jacket. Said fastening portion is advantageously arranged on one side of the jacket.
[0091] Without departing from the scope of the invention, the fastening portion can be located at the level of a portion of the jacket's pelvis.
[0092] This bonding portion extends advantageously inside the jacket. Brève description des dessins

Description des modes de réalisation
[0094] The invention relates to a system for storing a garment, for example a jacket, around the waist of a user.
[0095] There figure 1 illustrates a clothing outfit 10 according to the invention, comprising a garment 12, in this case a jacket 12 and a first method of implementing a storage system 14 according to the invention allowing the said jacket to be stored 12. Without straying from the scope of the invention, the garment 12 It could be trousers or even a jersey. In this non-exhaustive example, the storage system 14 is designed to be worn around a user's waist. The storage system 14 includes a belt 16 configured to be arranged around the waist of a user.
[0096] On the figure 1 , the storage system 14 extends under the jacket 12,on the back of the user, and is therefore shown through transparency and illustrated with dotted lines.
[0097] According to the invention, the storage system 14 includes a pocket 20 particularly visible in figure 5 . With reference to the said figure 5 , we observe that the pocket 20 includes a first pocket-sized part 22 and a second pocket-sized part 24 connected to the first pocket section. The first pocket section 22 defines a pocket. It has the shape of a sleeve. It is made of a textile material, which in this example is flexible but has low elastic deformation. The first part of the pocket 22 includes an opening 26 formed on a first lateral side 25 of the first pocket-sized section. Said opening 26 defines a free edge 22a for the first part of the pocket 22.The first pocket part 22 extends along a longitudinal direction L.
[0098] The second pocket-sized part 24 It has the shape of a horn, or a truncated cone or pointed shape. It includes an end part 24a. Said end part 24a forms a point for the second part of the pocket 24. The second pocket section is also elastically deformable. It exhibits greater elasticity than the first pocket section. 22.
[0099] In this non-limiting example, the first part of the pocket 22 and the second pocket-sized part 24 are distinct from one another. In other words, they form two separate pieces. The first pocket section and the second pocket section are joined together by stitching. More precisely, the first pocket section 22 includes a first connecting edge 22bwhile the second pocket-sized part 24 includes a second connecting edge 24b secured to the first connecting edge 22b by sewing. The second connecting edge 24b is opposite to the end part 24a from the second pocket-sized part 24. The first connecting edge 22b is opposed to the free edge 22a.
[0100] The second pocket-sized part 24 includes a wall 28 having a first face 28a and a second side 28b opposite to the first side.
[0101] Still on this figure 5 , we observe that the storage system 14 also includes a drawing device 30 cooperating with the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24. The pulling device 30 is here connected to the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24.This pulling device 30 includes a handle 32, in this case a ring, as well as a cord 34 connecting said handle 32 at the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24. The cord 34 is attached to the second face 28b of the wall 28 of the second pocket section. This cord 34 is elastic. Without departing from the scope of the invention, said handle 32 could take any other form allowing a user to grasp it.
[0102] Now, referring to the figure 2 , we observe that the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24 also includes an attachment 40 configured to be connected to the jacket 12. The attachment 40 is attached to the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24,here by sewing. More precisely, the fastening 40 is fixed to the first face 28a of the wall 28 from the second pocket section 24. In this non-limiting example, said attachment 40 includes a first loop portion 42 and a first strap 44 connecting said first loop portion 42 at the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24.
[0103] There figure 1 shows a user, seen from behind, wearing the jacket 12. This configuration might be suitable for a situation where the user wants to cover up, for example, in case of rain during a hike. The jacket 12 extends out of the pocket 20, so that the storage system 14 is not in use. The latter is shown through the transparent material. It can be seen that the user is wearing the storage system 14 to his size. The pocket20, and more specifically the first pocket part 22 mounted on said belt 16. Without limitation, the said first pocket part 22 It is sewn to the belt here. However, it could also be mounted to slide along the belt. The pocket extends across the user's back, between the belt and the back of the jacket. 12, and does not hinder its movements.
[0104] Alternatively, the storage system 14 may include a portion of belt 16 extending between a first end of the first part of the pocket formed by the free edge 22a and a second end of said first part of pocket formed by the first connecting edge 22b.
[0105] We observe on the figure 1 that the belt 16 also includes a means of connection 33, including here a hook 33, mounted on said belt16. Without straying from the scope of the invention, the first pocket-sized part 22 This could include the means of connection. The function of the means of connection 33 will be described later.
[0106] As can be seen in figure 1 , the attachment 40 of the storage system 14 is connected to a portion of solidarity 46 of the jacket 12. This portion of solidarity 46 is located between a portion of shoulder 15 and a portion of size 17 of the jacket 12, on one side of the jacket. More specifically, as illustrated in figure 2 , the solidarity portion 46 includes a second loop section 48 attached to the jacket via a second strap 50 sewn onto the jacket 12. The first loop section 42 of the attachment 40cooperates with the second loop portion 48 of the solidarity portion 46 in order to secure the jacket 12 at the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24.
[0107] The first and second loop sections 42,48 cooperate in a detachable manner. With the help of figures 2 à 6 , We will describe the steps for storing the jacket 12 in the pocket 20.
[0108] On the figures 2 et 3 , we note that the second part of the pocket 24 is in the retracted position. It extends inside the first part of the pocket 22 along virtually its entire length. Only the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24 protrudes from the first part of the pocket, at the level of the opening 26. The attachment 40, connected to the jacket 12,also extends beyond the first pocket section 22. In this retracted position of the second pocket section 24, pocket bulk 20 is reduced.
[0109] By referring to the figure 3 , in which the second part of the pocket 24 is shown by transparency, we observe that, in this retracted position, the first face 28a of the wall 28 from the second pocket section 24 extends outwards from said second pocket section while the second face 28b of said wall extends inwards.
[0110] It is also noted that in the retracted position of the second part of the pocket 24, the handle 32 of the pulling device 30 extends beyond the first pocket section 22 from a second lateral side 27 from the first pocket-sized part 22opposite the first lateral side 25. The handle 32 is accessible to the user, even when the pocket extends across their back. In the stowed position, the handle 32 of the pulling device and the attachment 40 extend on either side of the first part of the pocket 22.
[0111] In the retracted position, the cord 34 connecting the handle 32 at the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24 extends essentially within the first part of the pocket 22.
[0112] On the figures 2 et 3 , the user took off the jacket 12 and the leash hangs from the storage system 14, along his leg. The jacket is held in place by the fastener. 40.
[0113] To store the jacket 12 in the pocket 20, the user pulls on the handle with one hand 32of the pulling device 30, as illustrated in figure 4 . Ideally, but not exclusively, this traction force is directed along the longitudinal direction. L from the first pocket-sized part 22, or slightly inclined with respect to said longitudinal direction L. The pulling force is exerted in the opposite direction to the opening 26 from the first paperback part.
[0114] The pulling device 30, via the cord 34, then pulls on said end part 24a from the second pocket section 24. The second pocket section is then gradually turned inside out and extracted from the first pocket section. 22, as can be seen in figure 4 . Together, the jacket 12, which is integral with said end part 24a,is pulled and guided inside the first part of the pocket via the opening 26. The said attachment 40 also crosses the opening 26.
[0115] This tensile force also has the effect of elastically deforming the second part of the pocket 24, so that its volume increases compared to its volume when folded. One advantage is to offer a larger volume for storing the garment, but also to be able to pull the jacket deeper into the pocket. 20.
[0116] The tensile force on the end part 24a is pursued until the second part of the pocket is brought in 24 in the deployed position, illustrated in figure 5 , in which it extends in line with the first pocket section and beyond the first pocket section. The first pocket section 22 and the second pocket-sized part 24then define an interior volume V for the pocket 20, in which the jacket is brought 12. When the second part of the pocket 24 When in the deployed position, the jacket extends advantageously partly inside the first part of the pocket and partly inside the second part of the pocket.
[0117] Between the retracted and deployed positions, the second pocket section 24 has turned back on itself, so that in the deployed position the first face 28a of the wall of the second part of the pocket 24 extends inwards into said second pocket section while the second face 28b extends outwards. The attachment 40 then also extends inside the pocket. The pulling device 30, and in particular the cord 34 and the handle 32, then extend beyond the second part of the pocket 24and out of the pocket 20.
[0118] As illustrated in the top view, in cross-section, of the figure 6 , the user can continue the pulling effort on the handle 32 of the pulling device 30 and roll up the said pocket 20 around his waist in such a way as to form a loop 52 around his waist. The user connects the handle 32 via connection 33 and therefore crocheted 33, in order to keep the pocket 20 surrounding its waist. The end part 24a from the second pocket section 24 is then connected to the first part of the pocket. In this non-limiting example, said handle 32 forms a linking device configured to cooperate with said means of connection 33. In other words, the drawing device 30includes said connecting element. Without departing from the scope of the invention, the connecting element could be separate from the connection device.
[0119] As can be seen in figure 6 , said pocket 20 containing the jacket 12 then extends along the waistband 16, around the user's waist. The jacket extends partly inside the first pocket section and partly inside the second pocket section. The pocket 20 It is then compact and does not hinder the user's movements.
[0120] To remove the jacket 12 from the pocket 20, the user disconnects the handle 32 of the means of connection 33. He then grabbed the jacket 12 passing his hand through the opening 26. He then pulls on the jacket to take it out of the pocket 20 via the opening 26.The second pocket-sized part 24 is drawn inside the first part of the pocket 22 and turns around, until it returns to the retracted position illustrated in figures 2 et 3 .
[0121] As illustrated in figure 7 , the jacket 12 can be detached from the second part of the pocket 24 by disconnecting the second loop portion 48 and the first loop section 42 of the attachment 40. The jacket 12 It can then be removed, for example for storage or drying. The storage system 14 can be maintained at the user's waist level, independently of the jacket.
[0122] There figure 8 illustrates a clothing outfit 10 including a second embodiment of a storage system 14 according to the invention. In this embodiment, the attachment 40and said drawing device 30 together form a traction element 60 which is mounted sliding relative to the end portion of the second pocket section. In addition, the drawstring 34 of the pulling device 30 and the first strap 44 of the attachment 40 together form a long, thin element for the traction element 60. Furthermore, an opening 54 is provided in the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24. The long, thin element of the traction element 60, and so the said first strap 44 and the said cord 34, pass through said orifice 54. The long, thin element slides inside the said opening 54. The traction element 60 is therefore mounted sliding relative to the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24.
[0123] The pulling device30 includes a locking mechanism 56 cooperating with the cord 34 and therefore with the longitudinal element of the traction element 60. The locking mechanism 56 and the handle 32 of the pulling device 30 extend on either side of the opening 54.
[0124] In this embodiment, the drawing device 30 is mounted in a sliding fashion at the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24 without being fixed to it. Furthermore, the attachment 40 is mounted in a sliding fashion at the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24 without being fixed there.
[0125] Furthermore, the attachment 40 includes a locking piece 58 cooperating with the first strap 44 and therefore with the longitudinal element of the traction element 60. In this non-limiting example, the locking mechanism56 and the locking piece 58 are attached to the longitudinal element and therefore to the tension element 60. As can be seen in figure 8 , the locking piece 58 and the locking mechanism 56 extend on either side of the opening 54.
[0126] As illustrated in figure 8 , when the second part of the pocket 24 is in the retracted position, the locking mechanism 56 extends out of the second pocket section 24 while the locking piece 58 extends inside the second part of the pocket 24.
[0127] As illustrated by the passage from the figure 8 to the figure 9 , when the user pulls on the handle 32 of the pulling device 30, the traction element 60slides relative to the end portion of the second pocket section. More precisely, the elongated element of the traction element 60 slides into the opening 54 until the locking mechanism 56 come to rest against the end part 24a of the second part of the pouch, at the level of the opening 54. By continuing to pull, the locking mechanism 56 pull on the end part 24a from the second pocket section 24 and the latter is turned back on itself and brought from the retracted position to the deployed position.
[0128] As can be seen in figures 9 And 10 , when the second part of the pocket 24 is in the deployed position, the locking mechanism 56 extends inside the second part of the pocket 24 while the locking piece extends 58 outside of the second pocket section 24.
[0129] When the user wants to put away the garment, they pull on it, which in turn pulls on the long, thin section of the traction element. 60. The traction element then slides relative to the second part of the pocket. More precisely, the long, narrow element of the traction element 60 then slides into the opening 54 until the locking piece 58 come into contact with the end part 24a of the second part of the pouch, at the level of the opening 54. By continuing the pull, the locking piece 58 pull on the end part of the second pocket part 24 which turned over and was brought inside the first part of the pocket 22. The second pocket-sized part 24 is brought from the deployed position to the retracted position.
[0130] There figure 11 illustrates a third way in which a storage system can be implemented 14 according to the invention. In this embodiment, the connection means 33 mounted on a front section 16a of the belt 16, this front portion extending in front of the user.
[0131] The user can connect the handle 32 via connection 33. As can be seen in figure 11 , in this embodiment the pocket 20 is not wrapped around the user's waist to form a loop. In fact, after being placed in the deployed position, the second part of the pocket 24 is folded down over the first part of the pocket 22 before connecting the handle 32 via connection 33. The second pocket-sized part 24 then covers the first part of the pocket 22.The second part of the pocket then extends essentially across the user's back.
