Description

[0001] ACCESS LOCK THAT IS OR CAN BE ARRANGED ON A POCKET

[0002] The invention relates to an access lock which is or can be arranged on a pocket, forms a passage area to the pocket and has an upper textile section and a lower textile section, wherein the upper textile section overlaps the lower textile section, wherein the upper textile section and the lower textile section are elastically stretchable, wherein the upper section and the lower section are connected to one another by at least two seams which are spaced apart from one another, wherein the upper and the lower section have an edge, and wherein the passage area is formed between the sections, the edges of the sections and the seams.

[0003] When objects such as keys or mobile phones are stowed in (clothing) pockets, for example, there is a risk of losing these objects, particularly during physical activity. To counteract this, fasteners such as zippers, Velcro fasteners, (snap) buttons and the like are 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 just one hand. Furthermore, these fastening mechanisms can break easily, often look unsightly and are difficult to replace. These fastening mechanisms only fulfil their retaining function if they are used / activated specifically. A zipper, for example, only provides protection if it is closed by the wearer of the garment.

[0004] For automatically closing the access opening of a bag, lock-like arrangements are known from the prior art; these are intended to prevent objects from slipping out of the bag. However, these cause problems when it comes to handling. In particular, it is often difficult to get the objects in and / or out of the lock openings, which are usually very narrow. Using overlapping materials as lock openings has undesirable effects. If the lock is used for a while, the lock opening becomes plastically deformed. If the objects stored in the bag are too heavy or too bulky, the lock opening is deformed, the access into the bag becomes visible, and the risk of the object slipping out of the bag increases.This means that items can fall out of the bag or be stolen by other people.

[0005] These problems are to be solved with a new type of interventional lock.

[0006] This problem is solved by an intervention lock with the features of claim 1.

[0007] The elastic access lock according to the invention with the specially arranged connecting seams is mainly used to ensure that various objects can be safely stowed in a bag without the wearer having to actively close the access opening. The access opening is closed thanks to overlapping materials which are elastically deformed when the whole hand or fingers of the hand are reached through and then return to their undeformed state after the reach-through process. Thanks to the specially positioned and designed connecting seams, the reach-through area can be as small as possible in the undeformed state, but the entire available, elastically deformable area during the process of moving the hand (with or without objects enclosed in it) or the fingers can be significantly larger than the reach-through area in the undeformed state.The elastic access lock is incorporated (sewn in, glued in, welded in, etc.) into a defined area of ​​a textile object, e.g. a piece of clothing, a carrier bag, etc.

[0008] The elastic access lock can also be designed as a pass-through lock between two areas (e.g., between two pockets or between different layers) of a textile object. The main advantages are:

[0009] In the undeformed state, the access area (hereinafter also referred to as the access opening) always remains closed.

[0010] In the undeformed state, the access opening always remains closed and can be kept small in relation to the size of the bag and / or the objects to be transported.

[0011] The access opening can be operated with just one hand or just with the fingers of one hand.

[0012] Despite the narrow opening, you can easily reach into even particularly deep pockets.

[0013] The overlapping materials of the elastic access lock have a corresponding elasticity, which allows the elastic access lock to be stretched sufficiently to transport objects (such as telephones, keys, wallets, etc.) back and forth through the openings with one hand without the use of significant force.

[0014] In this text, the term "textile object" primarily refers to the following product categories. The use of the term "textile" is not restrictive. It also encompasses other objects not made of textiles in the narrower sense, as listed below:

[0015] Clothing of all kinds and functions for people and animals.

[0016] Outerwear, underwear, sportswear, workwear, etc.

[0017] Clothing accessories and assessors, such as knee pad pockets, clothing with sports protector inserts, jockstraps, etc.

[0018] Carrying bags of all types and functions including shoulder bags, tool bags, tool belts, cases, backpacks, bum bags, etc.

[0019] According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the upper section and the lower section are also elastically stretchable on the side opposite the penetration area of ​​the seam connecting only the upper and lower sections.

[0020] If both seams only connect the upper and lower sections, the upper section and the lower section are preferably also elastically stretchable on the side opposite the penetration area of ​​both seams connecting the upper and lower sections.

[0021] These embodiments of the invention have the advantage that the expansion region of the interventional lock can be extended beyond the area between the seams .

[0056] The drawings illustrate embodiments of devices according to the invention, which, however, are only examples and, apart from the inventive features as defined in the claims, many components may also be implemented differently 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 may be combined with one another in any way, even without this being expressly mentioned in every possible case.

[0057] The components described in the various embodiments of the invention can be combined with one another as desired.

[0058] Description of designs of the elastic intervention lock (also called elastic lock or just lock):

[0059] The elastic access lock 1 (see Fig. 1) is elastically deformable at least in the access area 4. The elastic access lock 1 (see Fig. 1) is elastically deformable in all directions in and beyond the access area 4, thus at least: along the short side A along the long side D in all transverse directions of A and D.

[0060] The elastic access port 1 (see Fig. 1) is thus elastically deformable in the longitudinal direction, here parallel to F, not only within the area D, but also beyond the area D, thus also beyond the original relative position between the connecting seams 5A and 5B. Since elastically deformable material is also present outside the access area in the longitudinal direction, the elastic deformation can also occur in a wider area than D.

[0061] The elastic access lock and its respective (sub)sections can take on all possible shapes. They can be designed as a triangle, rectangle, trapezoid, polygonal symmetrical or asymmetrical figure, circle, oval, ellipse, or any other desired shape. The variety of different shapes offers application-specific, technical, as well as optical, design-related advantages. Examples can be seen in the drawings.

[0062] The access area: For the purpose of a clearer illustration of the functional components and functions of the elastic lock, area 4 is defined as the access area of ​​the elastic intervention lock (or access area for short) based on the schematic drawing shown in Fig. 1. The area is schematically represented in Fig. 1 as a rectangle with adjacent sides A and D.

[0063] The elastic interventional sheath 1 (see Fig. 1) consists of an upper section 2, which in the illustrated embodiment consists of two subsections 2A and 2B (see Fig. 5). However, the upper section 2 can also be single-layered and comprise only the subsection 2A or 2B. The upper section 2 is made of an elastic material.

[0064] The elasticity of the upper section 2 is preferably higher than the elasticity of the adjacent area (upper part of the insert) 17.

[0065] Optionally, the elasticity of the upper section 2 can have a lower or the same elasticity as the adjacent area 17, depending on the application.

[0066] Optionally, the elasticity of the upper section 2 can have a higher, lower or the same elasticity as the lower section 3 depending on the application.

[0067] The elastic intervention lock further comprises a lower section 3 (see Fig. 1), which in the illustrated embodiment again comprises two subsections 3A and 3B (see Fig. 5). However, the lower section 3 can also be single-layered and comprise only the subsection 3A or 3B. The lower section is made of an elastic material. The elasticity of the lower section 3 is preferably higher than that of the adjacent region 18.

[0068] Optionally, the elasticity of the lower section 3 can have a lower or the same elasticity as the adjacent area 18, depending on the application.

[0069] Optionally, the elasticity of the lower section 3 can have a higher, lower or the same elasticity as the upper section 2 depending on the application.

[0070] The elastic intervention lock 1 further comprises connecting seams 5A and 5B (see Fig. 1) which connect the upper section 2 with the lower section 3.

[0071] The elastic access sheath optionally has only one connecting seam (5A or 5B). The second connecting seam is the seam that connects the elastic access sheath to the adjacent fabric (in this case) of the insert.

[0072] The elastic access sheath 1 can optionally be reinforced with auxiliary sutures. To reinforce the connections between sections 2 and 3, auxiliary sutures 8A, 8B, 12A, and 12B (see Fig. 1) can preferably be used.

[0073] The elastic access gate 1 also optionally includes edge reinforcement elements. Sections 2 and 3 can be reinforced with additional edge reinforcement elements.

[0074] Optionally, both (in one of the cover edges) or only one edge reinforcement element (in one of the cover edges) can be used.

[0075] The elastic intervention lock 1 can form a unit with the lower part of the insert 18 (see Fig. 1).

[0076] The elastic intervention lock 1 can form a unit with the upper part of the insert 17 (see Fig. 1).

[0077] The elastic intervention lock 1 can form a unit with the lower part of the insert 18 and the upper part of the insert 17 (see Fig. 1).

[0078] The elastic interventional sheath 1 can optionally be used as part of a pocket insert 23, which preferably comprises all elements of the interventional sheath of Fig. 1. In this case, the pocket insert consists of the elastic interventional sheath 1, the upper part of the insert 17, and the lower part of the insert 18.

[0079] Optionally, the pocket insert consists only of the upper section of the elastic access lock 1 and the lower part of the insert 18. In this case, the lower part of the insert 18, with appropriate elasticity, fulfills the role of the lower section 3. The folded edges 6 and 7 (see Fig. 1) run parallel to each other.

[0080] Optionally, in order to facilitate the accessibility of the penetration area depending on the application, the folding edges 6 and 7 can also run diagonally to each other (example Fig. 14).

[0081] Description of embodiments of positioning, connections and reinforcements of elements of the elastic intervention lock:

[0082] Positioning :

[0083] Sections 2 and 3 are preferably created by folding a flat piece along one side in the middle and folding it together. This creates two subsections, 2A and 2B, or 3A and 3B, and fold edges 7 and 6, respectively.

[0084] The upper section 2 (see Fig. 1) is preferably positioned offset above the lower section 3 so that the sections 2 and 3 have a common surface overlap of width A. The upper section 2 lies, viewed away from the body of the wearer's garment, in an outer plane with respect to the body.

[0085] The upper section 2 is positioned, optionally offset, above the lower section 3, so that sections 2 and 3 have a common area overlap of width A. In this case, A=B=C applies.

[0086] The upper section 2 is positioned, optionally offset, over the lower section 3 so that sections 2 and 3 overlap each other, but the folded edge 7 is positioned congruent with the seam 19. Purpose: Visual advantages.

[0087] Optionally, the respective subsections 2A and 2B or 3A and 3B can each consist of a single flat piece. Two pieces are placed on top of each other and joined together by an elastic connection, preferably by an ultrasonic weld, taking a seam allowance along one side. By subsequently folding over the sides of subsections 2A and 2B or 3A and 3B along the connecting seam, a section with two subsections is created. Purpose: This reinforces edges 7 and 6, among other things, and also provides improved protection against plastic deformation of edges 7 and 6.

[0088] Connections:

[0089] The upper section 2 is preferably connected to the lower section 3 at least by connecting seams 5A and 5B (see Fig. 5). Both elastic and inelastic yarns can be used.

[0090] For all connecting seams and auxiliary seams mentioned in this document, ultrasonic welding seams, adhesive seams and other joining techniques can be used instead of sewing threads, particularly in line with the elasticity requirements of the respective joint.

[0091] As shown in Fig. 5, the connecting seams 5A and 5B preferably run continuously through the subsections 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B. This design provides the strongest and most stable connection of the four subsections mentioned.

[0092] In another variant (no figure available), the connecting seams run across three subsections 2B, 3A, and 3B. Purpose: This variant provides visual advantages on the surface of subsection 2A, since in this case, no connecting seams are visible on the surface. The auxiliary seams 8A, 8B, 12A, and 12B can follow the same logic.

[0093] Elastic access locks can also be extended with additional reinforcement seams outside the access area 4 along the turn-up edges 6 and 7.

[0094] 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.

[0095] The connecting seams 5A, 5B preferably run in the region of A in a straight line normal (at an angle of 90°) to the edge 7. The connecting seams represent a central element of the present invention. Thanks to these specially arranged connecting seams, the penetration area 4 can be kept as small as possible in the undeformed state. However, since in the left area DL (see Fig. 1) and the right area DR (see Fig. 1), in addition to the penetration area 4, there is also elastically formable material of the elastic access lock, this allows additional expansion capacity to be created for the penetration area 4.

[0096] 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, take on a funnel-like / trapezoidal shape in the area between A and D.

[0097] The connecting seams 5A, 5B can optionally run diagonally to the edge 7. The connecting seams can be aligned at different angles in relation to the turn-up edge 7 depending on the application, but can run parallel to each other, thus forming a parallelogram in areas A and D.

[0098] The connecting seams 5A, 5B can also be rounded (e.g., quarter-circle-shaped) or beveled in the area of ​​edges 6 and 7, regardless of their orientation. This contributes to fewer tears 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 joint.

[0099] The connecting seams 5A, 5B can be designed as convex or concave arcs or circular sections along the seam line, regardless of their orientation. The seams 5A, 5B can have any shape. Purpose: Depending on the application, this can further facilitate the movement of the hand through the sheath and achieve an even more efficient retention function of the sheath. The use of alternative seam paths also has design advantages.

[0100] Reinforcements:

[0101] If the lock is subjected to particularly demanding operation (especially if larger objects are frequently pushed through the lock), permanent plastic deformation of the folded edges 6 and 7 may occur over time, particularly in section D. To counteract this deformation, sections 2 and 3 can be reinforced with additional reinforcement variants. Solutions with or without additional reinforcement elements can be used. In the case of solutions with reinforcement elements, elastic textile bands or silicone bands, hot transfers and the like, as well as combinations thereof, can preferably be used. A reinforcement element 10 (see Fig. 5), for example, is an elastic, textile band that is inserted between the sub-sections 2A and 2B or 3A and 3B. Such inserted reinforcement elements are then connected to the respective sections 2 and 3.

[0102] The reinforcement elements 10 can optionally also be attached to the outer surfaces of the subsections. Purpose: (Manufacturing) technical, but also design-related advantages. The reinforcements can thus also be used as decorative elements on the visible side.

[0103] Furthermore, reinforcement elements can be used in the construction with ultrasonic joining seams. A reinforcement element can be used in both Section 3 and Section

[0104] 2. By extending the seam allowance, a space is created between the ultrasonic joining seams into which a reinforcement element can be inserted. These reinforcement elements are preferably used with sections 2 and 3.

[0105] 3 are connected at the connecting seams 5A and 5B. Furthermore, reinforcements of edges 6 and 7 can be achieved without the use of reinforcing elements. There can be one or more rows of ultrasonic welds running in different orientations, but preferably parallel to edges 6 and 7.

[0106] Instead of an ultrasonic weld, other joining techniques that meet the elasticity requirements of the connection can also be used.

[0107] Reinforcements of the lock by means of an ultrasonic weld seam can optionally also be used to reinforce the connecting seams 5A, 5B.

[0108] Description of embodiments of the arrangement and connection of elements of the elastic intervention lock with the surrounding elements of a textile object:

[0109] To ensure the elastic access loop fulfills its optimal function, it must be incorporated in an optimal position for the respective textile item and its pocket type (e.g., inserted, patched, partially patched pocket, or as a special pocket insert, etc.). The following schematically illustrates the positioning of the elastic access loop using the example of a pocket insert 23 within the front side pocket of a pair of trousers.

[0110] An insert 23 (see Fig. 1) with an elastic engagement lock 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, ie the interconnected pieces 2, 3, 18 and 17 and the rear surface of the pocket bag 21.

[0111] Alternatively, the front wall can consist of interconnected pieces 2, 3, and 18. Alternatively, pieces 3 and 18 can be made of the same material or from a single piece. Purpose: If design requirements allow, especially application-specific ones, such a combination offers manufacturing advantages by eliminating seams and sewing processes.

[0112] Likewise, pieces 17 and 2 can be made of the same material or from a single piece. Purpose: If design requirements allow it, especially application-specific ones, such a combination offers manufacturing advantages by eliminating seams and sewing processes.

[0113] Optionally, the elastic access lock 1 is an integral part of the textile object, made of the same material as the sections of the elastic lock. This means that the elastic pocket lock is constructed from parts of the textile object. One application is elastic sportswear (especially tights, cycling jerseys, etc.). In this case, parts of the elastic object fulfill the role of the upper section 2 and lower section 3.

[0114] In Fig. 6, the total area of ​​the insert 23, i.e. the interconnected pieces 2, 3, 18 and 17, is smaller than the area of ​​21.

[0115] Alternatively, these surfaces may be congruent, so that the total surface of the insert 23 and the surface of 21 completely cover one another.

[0116] Positioning angle of the elastic access lock 1 in the textile object 24: The positioning angle a of the elastic access lock (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 normal to auxiliary line E. When used with a front side pocket of trousers, the optimal angle a is in the range of 15°-50° (approx. 35° in the illustration), depending on the type of pocket. In the application shown, positioning in this angular range ensures that the unfavorable trapezoidal deformation of the access area 4 is as small as possible when the wearer of the trousers assumes a sitting position. The trapezoidal deformation (using the example of trousers) usually occurs when the wearer is in the sitting position due to the hip and thigh coming closer together (at an angle of approximately 90°). This leads to the so-calledIf the pocket mouth is deformed along the length D, this could lead to a partial opening of the access area 23, and the objects stored in the pocket could fall out. To counteract this, the choice of the positioning angle is particularly essential.

[0117] Another element for optimal positioning of the elastic interventional lock 1 is the positioning of the access area 4 and thus of D along the edge 7 . The selection of the distances between the intersection point 5A with 7 and the reference point 22 is essential for optimal positioning for the specific application. 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 selected inappropriately, the operation of the elastic interventional lock is made more difficult, particularly due to the lack of accessibility of the access area 4 .

[0118] In order to counteract the above-mentioned negative effect of the trapezoidal deformation of the reach-through area 4, in addition to the application-optimised selection of the positioning angle, the dimensioning and the size relationship of the dimensions A and D are also important. The reach-through area 4 shown in Fig. 1 has the approximate size ratios 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 lock is installed; type and size of the objects to be conveyed through the lock (if necessary extended to include the operator's hand which encompasses the object to be conveyed); clothing size of the object, etc. These dimensions and their relationship can vary depending on the constellation of the influencing factors, i.e. depending on requirements. Special versions of the elastic intervention lock with the surrounding elements of a textile object:

[0119] Application of two or more elastic intervention locks positioned next to each other ( Fig . 23 ) using the example of a ( horizontal ) application on a cyclist's jersey .

[0120] What is special here, in addition to the arrangement of the pockets, is that in this case the sewing edge 28 of the elastic access lock also serves as a connecting seam.

[0121] When reaching through, elastic deformation occurs as follows.

[0122] Dl into the areas D2 and D4 .

[0123] D2 into areas Dl and D3

[0124] D4 into areas Dl and D5

[0125] Application of two or more elastic interventional sheaths positioned side by side in a vertical position in combination with two or more completely overlapping or offset pocket bags ( Fig . 22 ) .

[0126] When reaching through, elastic deformation occurs as follows.

[0127] D2 into areas D3 and D4 .

[0128] D4 into areas D2 and D5

[0129] Pass-through lock 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 lock 25. This lock can also be designed as an elastic access lock.

[0130] The elastic interventional sheath 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 interventional sheaths. However, this variant can also be designed as a single sheath (see Fig. 13).

[0131] The elastic interventional sheath is not directly connected to the actual pocket. The elastic interventional sheath 1 lies over a pocket bag 26. The interventional sheath and the pocket bag are only indirectly connected via a common third surface 24 (see Fig. 29) to which they are attached.

[0132] The elastic access lock 1 (see Fig. 31, 32) with a pocket bag 26 connected to it form a shoulder bag.

[0133] The elastic access loop 1 (see Fig. 33) can also be used as a fly instead of a zipper. The same principle can also be applied to underwear. The elastic access loop can be positioned in different ways: vertically, horizontally, or diagonally to the belt line or waistband 35.

[0134] Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of the invention with additional openings 101 and 101'. Another opening 101' is located above the access area 4. Objects 103, in particular mobile phones (for example, a smartphone), can be placed into the pocket through the additional opening 101'. These then fall into the lower area 18 of the pocket.

[0135] The further opening 101' can run essentially parallel to the (trouser) waistband 106.

[0136] The further opening can also be vertical or at a different angle to the waistband.

[0137] A further opening 101 can optionally also be arranged at the same height as the access area 4.

[0138] An additional opening can optionally be arranged below the reach-through area. The additional opening 101, 101' can be elastic, partially elastic, or inelastic. A non-elastic additional opening 101, 101' is somewhat more secure 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 sweatpants.

[0139] An elastic, partially elastic or inelastic further opening 101, 101' can be reinforced by a stiffening element to further increase safety.

[0140] The stiffening element (10) can be inside or outside

[0141] (visible / not visible) of the first opening (1).

[0142] The stiffening element (10) may contain polyester, polyamide, nylon, cotton, thermal fabrics, rubber, silicone and mixtures of these materials and comparable materials.

[0143] The additional opening can be at least 1.5 cm wide, allowing for smaller items such as a small pocket knife, smaller tools, etc.

[0144] The further opening can also have a width of at least 3 cm.

[0145] The wider opening can also have a width of at least 7 cm.

[0146] The wider opening can also have a width of 8 cm to 12 cm.

[0147] The further opening can be covered by a fabric layer 108, in particular a fabric layer 108 of the textile object or actual garment.

[0148] The further opening can be covered by a cover strip.

[0149] The further opening 101' can be arranged in an outermost fabric layer 108 of the garment.

[0150] The further opening can be arranged in a fabric layer of the pocket of the garment.

[0151] The further opening can be slit-shaped, circular, oval / elliptical, triangular or polygonal.

[0152] The further opening may have an additional protective fabric layer 120 connected to it from the inside (see Fig. 4, 18). This protective fabric layer 120 may additionally be connected to the pocket bag of the bag by connecting the protective fabric layer 120.

[0153] The further opening may have an additional protective fabric layer 120 (see Fig. 4) connected to the further opening from the inside. This protective fabric layer 120 may additionally be connected to the fabric layer 108 by a connection 120'.

[0154] The access area 4 can be arranged at an angle of 15° to 85° to a side seam 109 (see Fig. 1). This ensures quick, ergonomic access to the pocket.

[0155] The passage area 4 and the further opening(s) 101, 101' extend into the same pocket.

[0156] The pocket may be a separate pocket from the actual clothing pocket (especially trouser pocket).

[0157] The bag can replace the actual clothing pocket (especially trouser pocket).

[0158] The openings 4, 101, 101' extend into the actual clothing pocket (especially trouser pocket).

[0159] To prevent objects 103 from accidentally slipping through the passage area 4 when inserted through the further opening 101', a guide element 113 (see Figs. 2, 3, 4) can be used, preferably in the form of a seam. Depending on the selected arrangement of the first opening relative to the passage area 4, the seam can take on different sizes, shapes (bars, lines, circles, semicircles, triangles, etc.), and positions. A guide element 113 is shown as an example in Figs. 2, 3, 4.

[0160] As an alternative to a guide element, the upper section of the reach-through area 4 can be extended by an inner protective section 118 (Figs. 24 to 28). This prevents objects from undesirably slipping through the reach-through area 4. Application of the arrangement of the reach-through area 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 area 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 dashed line as the edge of the pocket bag 114.

[0161] The pocket bag with the elastic pocket lock 1 can optionally also be positioned outside the outer surface of the carrier bag.

[0162] The pocket bag with the elastic pocket lock 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 separated non-destructively (with the help of e.g. ribbons, buttons, Velcro fasteners, etc.).

[0163] Depending on the design of the respective carrying bag 115, in all of the above-mentioned design options only the reach-through area 4 can be present and can be used simultaneously for putting in and taking out objects.

[0164] Optionally, for all of the above-mentioned design options, the additional opening 101' and the access area 4 can be positioned within the carrying bag 115.

[0165] The principle described in connection with a carrier bag can also be applied to clothing (especially outerwear such as jackets, coats, jackets, etc.). In a jacket, the additional opening can be located in the outer layer (e.g., a pocket square), allowing an object to be inserted through it. Removal occurs from the inside of the jacket, although this does not preclude removal from the outside.

[0166] Interconnected openings of a security arrangement. In one embodiment, an opening 101 (see, for example, Fig. 25), which is referred to below as a "further opening," is preferably located partly between the inner protective section 118 at the access area 4 and partly between parts of the pocket bag (primarily in the case of inserted pockets) or the fabric layer 108 of the textile object (primarily in the case of attached pockets).

[0167] The inner protective section 118 can also be pulled upwards again at a folded edge 148, thus forming a folded area 119 (outer protective section).

[0168] Because the material from which the protective section 118 and the folded area 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 elastically deform (expand) in a non-destructive manner 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 conveyed through the opening) can deform back into its original state (shrink). This is particularly important because the objects pushed into the pocket insert 127 (e.g.

[0169] Mobile phones) should no longer slip out through this opening.

[0170] The further opening 101 (see Fig. 25) is preferably created by connecting the inner protective section 118 to the parts of the pocket bag of the fabric layer of the textile object 149 or the folded area 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 primarily depending on the type of textile object, type of pocket (inserted, attached, etc.), the positioning of the pocket on the textile object, orientation of the pocket opening, the use of additional closure elements, such as zippers, buttons, etc.

[0171] Between the upper connection 140 on the left (see Fig. 26) and the upper connection 139 on the right lies the further opening 101. This insertion opening 101 leads, as mentioned, between the inner protective section 118 and the folded-over area or outer protective section 119. The object is held at the connections 146,

[0172] 147 past an elastic opening 145 in the cover edge

[0173] 148 into the bag of insert 23.

[0174] The selected alignment angle of the folded 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 opening. This alignment angle can range from 0° (parallel to the side seam) to over 90°. Typically, however, this angle (for example, in jacket pockets) is between 15° and 85°. This ensures quick, ergonomic access to the pocket insert 127 or the pocket 104.

[0175] In the arrangement, there may also be more than one additional opening in the pocket insert 127. By way of example, a second additional opening 101' (see Fig. 12) is shown in combination with a first additional opening 101. This combination serves the purpose of allowing objects to be inserted into the pocket insert 127 without having to open the zipper 126 to insert objects through the first additional opening 101.

[0176] In another arrangement, there is also more than one further opening in the pocket insert 104 (see Fig. 20).

[0177] In the arrangement (see Fig. 12), there may 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 objects positioned in the pocket insert 127 and store them separately in a type of not completely separated compartment. In combination with the arrangements described above with more than one further opening (see Fig. 12), for example, an object 103 inserted through the further opening 101' falls into one of the compartments defined by the separating seam.

[0178] The positioning and size of the separating seam 131 is adapted to the specific application conditions 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 the pocket 104.

[0179] The position and size of the opening 101 are primarily determined by the connections 121 and 122. The position of the opening 101 can be located centrally along the folded edge 129 of the inner protective layer 118 of the further opening 101, as shown, for example, in Fig. 25.

[0180] The position of the opening 101 can also be off-center along the folded 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 objects already in the pocket insert 127 do not fall out.

[0181] 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 also be connected to the pocket bag of the bag by a connection 120'.

[0182] The additional opening may have an additional protective fabric layer connected to the additional opening from the inside. This protective fabric layer may additionally be connected to the fabric layer 108 by a connection 120'.

[0183] A further opening can optionally also be part of a separate fabric section. This separate fabric section is preferably connected to the inner protective section of the access area 4. This solution can be particularly advantageous for patch pockets.

[0184] The separate fabric section, and thus the additional opening, can optionally be covered from above by means of a cover strip, either completely or partially, to provide additional (weather) protection. Instead of the inner protective section, a separate fabric section sewn to the access lock 1 (or otherwise connected to it) can also be used.

[0185] In addition to the connecting seams 121 and 122, further seams can also be used to reinforce the further opening or the entire arrangement.

[0186] The connecting seams can have different seam courses and distances from one another depending on the application and / or the type and size of the objects that are conveyed through the further opening 101.

[0187] This type of arrangement of a further opening 101 , 101 ' can be designed as a pocket insert 127 in a pocket or on the surface of the garment as a pocket 104 .

[0188] Both openings extend into the same pocket insert 127 .

[0189] The pocket insert 127 can be a pocket separate from the actual pocket of the textile object (in particular a trouser pocket).

[0190] The pocket insert 127 can replace the pocket 104 of the textile object.

[0191] Depending on the design of the textile object, there may also be only the access area 4. In this case, the access area 4 fulfills both functions, thus also providing the additional opening. Thus, only one opening can be used simultaneously for inserting and removing objects.

[0192] Depending on the design of the textile article, only the further opening in the embodiments described above may be available. Alternatively, the access area 4 may be designed with a conventional, open pocket opening. Alternatively, the access area 4 may be designed with a zipper, Velcro fastener, button closure, or other conventional closure of the pocket opening.

[0193] Application of the arrangement of the reach-through area 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 area 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 dashed line as the edge of the pocket bag 114.

[0194] The pocket bag can optionally also be positioned outside the outer surface of the carrier bag.

[0195] 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 separated without destruction (using, for example, ribbons, buttons, Velcro fasteners, etc.).

[0196] Depending on the design of the respective carrying bag 115, the access area 4 in all of the above-mentioned design options can fulfill both functions, thus also providing a wider opening. In this case, only the access area 4 can be used simultaneously for inserting and removing objects.

[0197] Optionally, the further opening and the access area 4 within the carrying bag 115 can be positioned according to all of the above-mentioned design options.

[0198] 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 oblique connections 137 and 138. This arrangement can be used as a pocket insert 127', that is, inside a pocket of a textile object. This arrangement can also be used as a patch pocket (as shown in Fig. 11) on the upper fabric layer 108 of a textile object.

[0199] The arrangement has the technical property that objects can be easily put in through such an opening. This solution offers better protection against objects falling out than is the case with a conventional open bag. This is possible in particular thanks to tension on the further opening 101, which is ensured by the connections 139 and 140 and - depending on the particular embodiment - possibly also the connections 132 and 133. Even if the material layer of the textile object is inelastic or not very elastic, the further opening, which is elastic over a range of at least 180°, can expand and contract again elastically and non-destructively when objects are put in and taken out.This solution can also be applied to textile objects whose fabric layer (i.e. the material from which the textile object is made) is equally or less elastic than the arrangement. The connections 137 and 138 serve primarily to facilitate the removal of objects from the pocket insert by guiding the objects due to the approximately funnel-shaped channel. The edge 128 of the pocket insert is connected to the fabric layer 108. When used in a bag with a pocket pouch, the pocket insert is connected to the surface of the pocket pouch (see edge 128 of the pocket pouch here).

[0200] The upper connection 132 and the lower connection 133 are optional and can be omitted. In this case, the edge connections 139 and 140 and the oblique connections 137 and 138 would be directly connected to each other.

[0201] The upper connection 132 and the lower connection 133 can be relatively shorter or longer than shown in Fig. 11. The extension of the connections has, among other things, the positive effect that the user's hand movement through the wider opening becomes more pleasant to the touch. Such arrangements can also be realized with more than one further opening 101 located next to, below, and / or above one another.

[0202] The access lock 1 shown in Fig. 26 has a protective section 118 and a fabric section 119, as well as the further opening 101, which leads into the area between the fabric section or the folded-over area 119 and the protective section 118. The protective section 118 and the folded-over area 119 are connected to one another 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 against the object already in the pocket or insert moving out through the insertion opening 101. In the variant shown in Fig. 26, the protective section 118 and the folded-over area 119 are also connected to one another and to the wall 149 via the edge connections 139 and 140.

[0203] The intervention lock 1 shown in Fig. 27 has a protective section 118 and a fabric section 119, as well as the further opening 101 which leads into the area between the fabric section or the folded-over area 119 and the protective section 118. The protective section 118 and the folded-over area 119 are connected to one another 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 section 118 and the folded-over area 119 which lie outside the connections 146, 147 are not connected in sections to any other element of the textile object and / or the intervention lock 1. This is shown by the edges 150 of the funnel (other shapes are also possible here). In the case shown in Fig .In the variant shown in Fig. 27, the protective section 118 and the folded-over area 119 are also connected to one another and to the wall 149 via the edge connections 139 and 140. This design offers additional protection against an object located in the pocket or insert moving out through the insertion opening 101. The access lock 1 shown in Fig. 28, the protective section 118 and the fabric section 119 have the shape of a circular segment. This shape serves the purpose of ergonomic positioning and thus better accessibility of the access lock 1 and the further opening 101.

[0204] The protective section 118 and the folded-over area 119 are connected to one another via two connections 146, 147. The course of the connections 146, 147 from the further opening 101 (see folded edge 129) towards the edge 153 has a conical shape. Other courses of the connections 146, 147 are also possible. The course of the connections 146, 147 serves the purpose of providing additional protection against an object located in the pocket or insert moving out through the insertion opening 101.

[0205] In the variant shown in Fig. 28, a protective section of the insertion outlet 154 of the protective section 118 is folded over the folded edge 157 onto the fabric section 119. This also serves the purpose of offering additional protection against an object located in the pocket or insert moving out through the insertion opening 101. Objects can be pushed into the pocket or insert through the insertion opening 101. When the object reaches the area around the folded edge 157 during insertion, the protective section of the insertion outlet 154 is pushed away for this moment. As soon as the object 103 is located in the pocket or insert, the protective section of the insertion outlet 154 moves back into the overlapping state. The protective section of the insertion outlet 154 can be applied analogously to the embodiments of Figs. 24 to 28. Analogously, the same protective function can also be used in the case shown in Fig.18 with a protective fabric layer 120. The material of the protective fabric layer 120 is folded over from the lower edge upwards and connected to the guide element 113. This produces the same protective effect, that an object located in the pocket or insert does not move out through the insertion opening 101'. The embodiment of an access lock 1 on a T-shirt shown in Fig. 35 illustrates two applications of the present invention using the example of outer clothing. The breast pockets shown show different positioning of the access lock 1 in combination with that of the insertion opening 101'. In the left breast pocket, the objects are fed in from above through the insertion opening 101' and taken out via the access lock 1, which is arranged horizontally here. This corresponds analogously to the embodiment shown in Fig. 26 illustrated functional principle .The right breast pocket shows an embodiment in which the insertion opening 101 is positioned differently than the intervention lock 1. This, in turn, corresponds to the functional principle shown, among other things, in Fig. 3. The positions and angular orientations of the insertion opening 101 and the intervention lock 1 selected here are only examples and can also be selected differently depending on the application and ergonomics.
