Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a rear pocket. [Background technology]

[0002] Many work uniforms for food manufacturing and processing factories do not have pockets to prevent foreign objects from getting into them. However, some businesses require work uniforms to have pockets. Therefore, to meet both needs, work uniform manufacturers have to manufacture and stock two types of work uniforms of the same type: one with and one without pockets, which creates a costly problem.

[0003] Therefore, it is conceivable to use a retrofit pocket, as described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2. In other words, by attaching a retrofit pocket to work clothes that do not have pockets, the need for pockets in work clothes can be met. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-160698 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-060121 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, with the attached pockets described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, if force is applied from the outside in a direction that pulls the attached pocket away from the garment, the attached pocket easily comes off. As a result, the attached pocket itself can become a foreign object, and work clothes cannot be washed with the attached pockets attached.

[0006] To provide a retrofit pocket that can be attached to and detached from clothing and that does not easily come off even when a force is applied from the outside in a direction to peel the retrofit pocket off the clothing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To achieve the above object, the retrofit pocket of the present invention comprises a bag-shaped pocket main body having an opening, a band-shaped holding member having one end fixed to the pocket main body and an engaging portion on at least the other end, and an engaged portion provided inside the pocket main body and engaging with the engaging portion. The other end of the holding member is inserted into the pocket main body through the opening while being passed through an insertion portion provided on the garment, and the engaging portion engages with the engaged portion inside the pocket main body. Furthermore, the pocket body has a flap that covers the opening in an openable and closable manner, and the flap has a through-hole formed therein through which the holding member can be inserted.

[0008] The rear pocket of the present invention includes a bag-shaped pocket main body having an opening, a flap portion that can open and close the opening and has a through hole formed therein, a band-shaped holding member having one end fixed to the pocket main body and at least the other end provided with an engaging portion, and an engaged portion that is provided on the back surface of the flap portion and engages with the engaging portion. The other end of the holding member is inserted into the through hole while being passed through an insertion portion provided on the garment, and the engaging portion engages with the engaged portion on the back surface of the flap portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] As a result, the rear pocket of the present invention can be attached to and detached from clothing, but will not easily come off even if force is applied from the outside in a direction that pulls the rear pocket off the clothing. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] First Embodiment An embodiment of the post-attached pocket according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 2A and 2B, the width direction (X), the up-down direction (Y), and the thickness direction (Z) are defined for the post-attached pocket 1. The side shown in Figure 2A is the front side, and the opposite side is the back side.

[0012] Fig. 1 is a diagram of a rear pocket 1 and trousers P, which is an example of clothing, Fig. 2A is a front view of the rear pocket 1, and Fig. 2B is an end view taken along line IIB-IIB in Fig. 2A. For ease of explanation, Fig. 1 shows the trousers P inside out (with the inner side facing out).

[0013] The trousers P are work trousers for use in factories that manufacture and process food, and as shown in FIG. 1, they are not provided with pockets to prevent contamination by foreign objects. The rear pocket 1 of this embodiment is a pocket separate from the trousers P and can be attached to the trousers P as needed. The trousers P are provided in advance with an insertion portion IP for attaching the rear pocket 1.

[0014] In the first embodiment, the insertion part IP is formed by a first string-like body R1 and a second string-like body R2, both ends of which are sewn to the waist part WT of the trousers P, and is provided in two places, the first insertion part IP1 and the second insertion part IP2. The first insertion part IP1 is formed in a ring shape by the fabric of the waist part WT and the first string-like body R1, both ends of which are sewn to the fabric. The second insertion part IP2 is similarly formed in a ring shape by the fabric of the waist part WT and the second string-like body R2, both ends of which are sewn to the fabric.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the attachment pocket 1 includes a pocket main body 3 and holding members 5, 5'.

[0016] The pocket body 3 is formed into a bag shape by folding fabric made of woven or nonwoven fabric made of cotton or synthetic fibers and sewing both ends in the width direction X together with the loops facing downward, forming an opening 13 at the top. As a result, the pocket body 3 has a front surface 7, a rear surface 9, and a pair of sewn portions 11A, 11B. The length of the front surface 7 in the up-down direction Y is shorter than that of the rear surface 9, so that the opening 13 is open toward the outside.

[0017] The pocket main body 3 has a flap 15. The flap 15 is provided at a position overlapping the front side of the pocket main body 3, and an upper edge 15C is sewn to the upper part of the back 9, thereby covering the opening 13 in an openable and closable manner. The flap 15 has a pair of opposing side edges 15A, 15B extending in a direction (vertical direction Y) intersecting the direction in which the opening 13 extends (width direction X) and sewn together with a pair of sewn portions 11A, 11B, and is fixed to the front and rear 9 of the pocket main body 3. In other words, both ends of the flap 15 in the width direction X are fixed, and only the center portion in the width direction can be rolled up.

[0018] Two slit-shaped through holes 17, 17' extending in the width direction X are formed in the flap portion 15. The through holes 17, 17' are formed side by side in the width direction X and are arranged on both sides of the pocket main body portion 3 in the width direction X. The through holes 17, 17' are so-called sleep holes and have a length in the width direction X that allows the holding members 5, 5' to be inserted therethrough.

[0019] The holding members 5, 5' are strip-shaped members fixed to the pocket main body 3. One end 5A of the holding member 5 is fixed to the pocket main body 3, and a first hook-and-loop fastener (engagement portion) 21 is provided on at least the other end 5B. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B , the holding member 5 is arranged on one side of the pocket main body 3 in the width direction X, and one end 5A is sandwiched between the pocket main body 3 and the flap portion 15 and sewn together with the pocket main body 3 and the flap portion 15 to be fixed. In this embodiment, the holding member 5 itself is a tape-like loop-type hook-and-loop fastener (also called a female type or a B-side), and the entire front side of the holding member 5 forms the engagement portion.

[0020] The holding member 5' is configured in the same manner as the holding member 5, and therefore the symbol of the holding member 5 is followed by "', and the description thereof will be omitted. The holding member 5' is disposed on the other side of the pocket main body 3 in the width direction X.

[0021] Inside the pocket main body 3, there are provided second hook and loop fasteners (engaged portions) 23 that engage with the first hook and loop fasteners 21, and second hook and loop fasteners (engaged portions) 23' that engage with the first hook and loop fasteners 21'. In this embodiment, the second hook and loop fasteners 23, 23' are hook-type hook and loop fasteners (also called male type or A-side). The second hook and loop fasteners 23, 23' are sewn and fixed to the back surface portion 9 inside the pocket main body 3, with the engaged surfaces facing the front surface portion 7. The second hook and loop fasteners 23, 23' are also arranged side by side in the width direction X.

[0022] 2A, the holding member 5 (first hook-and-loop fastener 21), through-hole 17, and second hook-and-loop fastener 23 are aligned linearly along the vertical direction Y. Similarly, the holding member 5' (first hook-and-loop fastener 21'), through-hole 17', and second hook-and-loop fastener 23' are also aligned linearly along the vertical direction Y.

[0023] Next, the process of attaching the rear pocket 1 to the trousers P will be described with reference to Figures 3A to 4B. Figure 3A is a front view showing the state in which the holding members 5, 5' have been inserted into the insertion portion IP, and Figure 3B is an end view taken along line IIIB-IIIB in Figure 3A. Figure 4A is a front view showing the state in which the rear pocket 1 has been attached to the trousers P, and Figure 4B is an end view taken along line IVB-IVB in Figure 4A.

[0024] When attaching the rear pocket 1 to the trousers P, the attacher first inserts the holding member 5 into the first insertion portion IP1 from below, and then inserts the holding member 5' into the second insertion portion IP2 from below (see Figures 3A and 3B).

[0025] Next, the attacher folds the retaining member 5 toward the front side, inserts the other end 5B of the retaining member 5 into the pocket main body 3 through the opening 13 via the through-hole 17, and engages the first hook-and-loop fastener 21 with the second hook-and-loop fastener 23 inside the pocket main body 3. At this time, the attacher can easily insert the retaining member 5 by rolling up the center of the width direction of the flap portion 15, pinching the other end 5B of the retaining member 5 from the back side of the flap portion 15, and pulling it into the pocket main body 3. In the same manner, the attacher folds the retaining member 5' toward the front side, and inserts the other end 5B' of the retaining member 5' into the pocket main body 3 through the opening 13 via the through-hole 17', and engages the first hook-and-loop fastener 21' with the second hook-and-loop fastener 23' inside the pocket main body 3. This secures the rear pocket 1 to the trousers P (see FIGS. 4A and 4B ).

[0026] The operation of the retrofit pocket 1 of the first embodiment will be described below.

[0027] The rear pocket 1 comprises a bag-shaped pocket main body 3 having an opening 13, strip-shaped holding members 5, 5' having one end 5A, 5A' fixed to the pocket main body 3 and engaging portions (first hook-and-loop fasteners) 21, 21' provided on at least the other end 5B, 5B', and engaged portions (second hook-and-loop fasteners) 23, 23' provided inside the pocket main body 3 and engaging with the engaging portions 21, 21'. With the holding members 5, 5' passed through insertion portions IP provided on the garment (trousers P), the other end 5B, 5B' is inserted into the pocket main body 3 from the opening 13, and the engaging portions 21, 21' engage with the engaged portions 23, 23' inside the pocket main body 3.

[0028] By engaging the engaging portions 21, 21' with the engaged portions 23, 23' inside the pocket main body 3 in this manner, when the rear pocket 1 is attached to the trousers P, the other ends 5B, 5B' of the holding members 5, 5' are covered by the pocket main body 3. This makes it difficult for the other ends 5B, 5B' of the holding members 5, 5' to get caught on something and for the engaging portions 21, 21' to be accidentally pulled away from the engaged portions 23, 23'. Furthermore, even if a force is applied from the outside in a direction (e.g., downward) that would pull the rear pocket 1 away from the trousers P, the rear pocket 1 will not easily come off. Therefore, it is possible to provide a rear pocket 1 that can be attached to and detached from clothing (trousers P) but will not easily come off. The rear pocket 1 of this embodiment allows the trousers P to be washed in a washing machine even with the rear pocket 1 attached.

[0029] In this embodiment, the attached pocket 1 has a flap portion 15 with through holes 17, 17' formed therein, but the presence or absence of the flap portion 15 is optional. Of course, the presence of the flap portion 15 is preferable to prevent small items stored in the attached pocket 1 from falling out. Furthermore, by passing the retaining members 5, 5' through the through holes 17, 17' formed in the flap portion 15, the retaining members 5, 5' come into contact with the inside of the pocket main body 3 and the flap portion 15 including the periphery of the through holes 17, 17', generating friction (static friction force), making it even more difficult for the retaining members 5, 5' to come off.

[0030] When the flap portion 15 covers the opening 13 in an openable and closable manner and overlaps the pocket main body 3, a pair of opposing sides 15A, 15B of the flap portion 15 extending in a direction intersecting the extension direction of the opening 13 may be sewn and fixed to the pocket main body 3. In this way, not only will small items stored in the attached pocket 1 be less likely to fall out, but the force with which the flap portion 15 presses down on the holding members 5, 5' will be improved, making the attached pocket 1 less likely to come off.

[0031] Any engaging portions 21, 21' and engaged portions 23, 23' can be used as long as they are mutually engageable. For example, engaging portions 21, 21' are first hook-and-loop fasteners, and engaged portions 23, 23' are second hook-and-loop fasteners. In this case, as in the first embodiment, the entire front side of holding members 5, 5' can be made of first hook-and-loop fasteners, or, as shown in FIG. 5, first hook-and-loop fasteners 21, 21' having the same size as second hook-and-loop fasteners 23, 23' can be provided on the other end portions 5B, 5B' of holding members 5, 5'.

[0032] The use of a hook-and-loop fastener allows the attachable pocket 1 to be easily secured. Furthermore, while a hook-and-loop fastener can be easily pulled apart in the thickness direction Z when the first and second hook-and-loop fasteners are engaged, it has the property of being difficult to remove when pulled in a direction parallel to the surface of the hook-and-loop fastener (the width direction X or the up-and-down direction Y). Therefore, even if external force is applied to the attachable pocket 1, the attachable pocket 1 is unlikely to come off. Furthermore, because the hook-and-loop fastener engages with the surface, even if the first and second hook-and-loop fasteners are partially peeled off, other portions remain engaged, so the engagement is not easily released, and the attachable pocket 1 is unlikely to come off. Furthermore, if the entire front side is made of the first hook-and-loop fastener, the length of the holding members 5, 5' can be adjusted.

[0033] When using hook-and-loop fasteners, it is preferable to use a loop-type hook-and-loop fastener (also called a female type or B-side) as the first hook-and-loop fastener and a hook-type hook-and-loop fastener (also called a male type or A-side) as the second hook-and-loop fastener. This is because hook-and-loop fasteners are designed to hook onto and engage with other loop-type hook-and-loop fasteners, and the hooks of the hook-and-loop fasteners are harder than the loops of the loop-and-loop fasteners, which could damage the surrounding fabric. By always keeping the hook-and-loop fasteners inside the pocket main body 3, it is possible to prevent the hooks of the hook-and-loop fasteners from catching on the surrounding fabric and damaging the fabric.

[0034] Instead of the hook and loop fastener, for example, a snap button can be used as shown in Fig. 6. When a snap button is used, the attached pocket 1 can be easily fixed in place, just like the hook and loop fastener.

[0035] In the first embodiment, the holding members 5, 5' are fixed by sewing together with the pocket body 3 and the flap 15, but they may be detachably fixed to the pocket body 3 (for example, to the back surface of the pocket body 3). In this way, the holding members 5, 5' can be replaced with holding members of different lengths.

[0036] <Second embodiment> 7A and 7B are diagrams showing a second embodiment of the rear pocket 101. FIG. 7A is a front view of the rear pocket 101, and FIG. 7B is an end view taken along line VIIB-VIIB in FIG. 7A. In FIGS. 7A and 7B, the first hook-and-loop fastener 121' and the second hook-and-loop fastener 123' of the retaining member 105' are engaged with each other without the insertion portion IP of the trousers P in place. In FIGS. 7A and 7B, parts common to those of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 2A, and 2B are designated by reference numerals that are 100 larger than the reference numerals designated in FIGS. 1, 2A, and 2B, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0037] In the second embodiment, first hook-and-loop fasteners (engaging portions) 121, 121' are fixed to the back surfaces of the other ends 105B, 105B' of holding members 105, 105' (in FIG. 7A, holding member 105 is folded back so that first hook-and-loop fasteners 121 fixed to the back surface are visible from the front side). Second hook-and-loop fasteners (engaged portions) 123, 123' are fixed to the back surface of flap portion 115 (see FIG. 7B).

[0038] When attaching the rear pocket 101 to the trousers P, the attacher folds the retaining member that has been previously inserted into the insertion portion IP, as shown in Figure 7B, and pulls the other end portions 105B, 105B' of the retaining members 105, 105' to the back surface of the flap portion 115 through the through holes 117, 117', thereby engaging the first hook-and-loop fasteners 121, 121' with the second hook-and-loop fasteners 123, 123'.

[0039] In the second embodiment, the other ends 105B, 105B' of the holding members 105, 105' are covered by the flap portion 115. This makes it difficult for the engaging portions 21, 21' to be accidentally peeled off from the engaged portions 23, 23', as in the first embodiment. Furthermore, even if a force is applied from the outside in a direction that peels the rear pocket 1 off the trousers P (for example, downward), the rear pocket 101 does not easily come off. Therefore, it is possible to provide a rear pocket 101 that can be attached to and detached from clothing (trousers P) but does not easily come off. Since other functions of the rear pocket 101 of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, a description thereof will be omitted here.

[0040] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been specifically described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and it goes without saying that modifications are possible within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention.

[0041] For example, in the first and second embodiments, examples were shown in which two holding members and two corresponding insertion portions were provided, but other combinations of numbers are of course also possible. That is, there may be one holding member and one insertion portion, or two holding members and one insertion portion. Also, multiple insertion portions may be provided so that the position at which the retrofit pocket is fixed can be selected.

[0042] Also, for example, in the first embodiment, the first hook-and-loop fastener is on the surface of the holding member and the second hook-and-loop fastener is on the rear side of the interior of the pocket main body, but it is also possible to have the first hook-and-loop fastener on the rear side of the holding member and the second hook-and-loop fastener on the front side of the interior of the pocket main body.

[0043] In addition, in this embodiment, the clothing to which the rear pocket is attached is trousers as an example, but it goes without saying that other clothing such as a skirt or a jacket may also be used. [Explanation of symbols]
