Concealed Carry Bib-Overalls with Hidden Pockets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current bib-overalls lack concealed carry pockets, making it difficult to carry items such as guns or other personal items that need to be hidden from view.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating one or more concealed pockets into the bib-overalls, which are hidden from view and accessible via a gap fastener, allowing for quick and discreet access to items like handguns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If concealed pockets are added to bib-overalls, then carrying capability for hidden items is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The concealed pockets are nested within the existing bib structure, utilizing the bib's thickness and layers to hide pockets without adding external protrusions. The pocket openings are positioned to be concealed behind the bib's front surface, allowing the pockets to be embedded within the garment's existing form factor.
Solution Approach 2:
The pockets are positioned in the vertical dimension of the bib, extending from the front surface toward the back, rather than adding horizontal protrusions. This vertical integration allows the pockets to be concealed while maintaining a sleek external profile.
2Adaptability or versatility
If concealed pockets are added to bib-overalls, then carrying capability for hidden items is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bib is segmented into functional zones: the front surface for concealment, the internal structure for pocket placement, and the back portion for access. This segmentation allows each zone to be constructed and assembled independently, simplifying the manufacturing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The pockets are pre-formed and attached to the bib during the initial garment construction, rather than being added as separate modifications. This preliminary integration ensures that the pockets are built into the bib's structure from the start, streamlining production.
3Ease of operation
If quick access to concealed pockets is enabled, then ease of operation is improved, but concealment effectiveness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The pocket access mechanism uses a magnetic snap closure that can be quickly opened with a simple pulling motion, allowing rapid access without complex mechanisms. The magnetic hold provides secure closure during normal wear, while the snap design enables instant opening when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The access mechanism uses a simple snap closure that resembles standard garment fasteners, making it familiar and easy to operate. The magnetic component provides automatic holding force, eliminating the need for complex locking mechanisms while maintaining quick access capability.

AI summary
Concealed carry bib-overalls for providing concealed pockets for placing firearms for concealed carry transport. The concealed carry bib-overalls may comprise a pair of overalls and one or more concealed pockets. The pair of overalls may be a garment comprising a bib which is adapted to extend vertically in front of a user's abdomen. The bib may be held upright by suspenders. The suspenders may be adapted to couple to the top of the bib after passing over a user's shoulders. The concealed pockets may be located on the rear of the bib where the concealed pockets may be hidden from view. The one or more concealed pockets may be adapted to conceal a handgun. A user may produce the handgun from within the concealed pockets by releasing a gap fastener and extracting the handgun through one or more access gaps.
