POCKET FOR GARMENTS.

SPECEFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 608,37 5, dated August 2, 1898.

Application filed February 25, 1897- $erial No. 625,029. (No model.)

To all whom it. may concern:

Beit known that LMAX L. HOLTZ, of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in Pockets for Garments and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part .of this specification, and to the reference-numerals marked thereon. I

My present invention relates to an improved pocket for garments, and particularly those adapted for coats Worn by street-car conductors or others required to carry heavy articles,

such as metallic money, and to which it is necessary to have frequent access, as in making change; and it has for its object to improve the construction whereby not only the pocket itself, preferably composed of heavy strong material, such as leather, may be firmly attached to the coat, but the binding at the edges of the pocket may be so strengthened and constructed thatthe wear at the mouth of the pocket is materially decreased and the pocket prevented from being torn from the garment by the weight of its contents; and to these and other ends the invention consists in certain improvements hereinafter fully de scribed, the novel features being pointed out in the claims at the end of this specification.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a portion of the pocket and the garment to which it is attached; Fig. 2, a horizontal sectional view on the line as a: of Fig. 1.

Similar reference=numerals in the two figures indicate similar parts.

1 indicates the material of the garment to which my invention is applied, being preferably the side of a coat, which is shown as unlined.

2 indicates a reinforce on the outside, preferably of the same material as the garment, through which and the material'of the gar-- ment is formed the aperture for the pocket, said reinforce being secured to the garment by lines of stitching 3,which also pass through a facing i on the rear side, composed of can vas, heavy linen, or other material.

5 indicates the pocket or sack, composed of a single piece of leather or similar strong ma terial sewed together at the edges, as usual, and having the lower'edge of the mouth socured by lines of stitching 6 to the lower inturned edge of a binding-piece 7, preferably of leather and constituting the lower edge of the mouth of the pocket. This binding 7 is composed of a single piece of leather having one edge secured to the reinforce 2 and the facing by lines of stitching 8, then bent over through the aperture in the garment and secured by lines of stitching 9, which pass through the doubled portion of the binding and the doubled edges of the parts 1, 2, and 4, thereby forming not only a secure fastenin g with the garment, but a hard edge, which is more or less inelastic, preventing sagging of the mouth of the pocket and tending to keep said pocket closed. I The upper portion of the aperture or mouth of the pocket is covered with'a binding-piece 10, also of leather, having its inturned edge secured by stitches 11, passing through the parts 2 and 4, and its edge is then inserted through the pocket-aperture, turned upward, and secured to the garment and to the upper edge of the pocket or sack 5 by lines of stitchin g 12, passing through the superposed parts,

as shown in Fig. 1. This construction not only forms a hard rigid edge for the pocketaperture,but.secures the parts firmly.

The manner of connecting the parts at the ends of the pocket is shown more particularly in Fig. 2, the facing and the top of the sack 5 being securedby lines of stitching 13 at the extreme edges of said sack, and a line of stitchin g 1t being passed through the doubled edge of the reinforce 2, the edges of the bind= ing 10, and the rear upper edge of the sack or pocket 5. This construction I find in practice is admirably adapted for the pui'pose, as

it forms a firm connection between the garment and the pocket or sack'and produces an article admirably adapted for the purpose 9 5 intended, besides being cheap in construction and presenting a neat appearance.

I claim as my invention-- l. The combination with a garment having the pocket-aperture, of the pocket, the hind mo ing-strip 7 of heavy material as leather socured to the inner side of the lower edge of the pocket extending through the aperture in the garment and having its edge doubled under and secured to the faee of the garment, the upper binding 10 secured to the upper edge ot the pocket, extending through the aperture and having its edge doubled under and secured to the face of the garment, substantially as deserihed.

2. The combinat ion with a garment having the pocket aperture and the reinforce 2 around it, of the pocket, the binding- strips 7 and 10 having the doubled portions on the exterior extending over he edges of the aperture, stitching l3 eonueeting the edge of the pocket with the binding, and other lines of stitching, as 1; and i), passing through the upper and lower binding-strips respectively and the edge of the garment and the pocket substantially as described.

31. The combination with the garment having the aperture and the reinforce, of the leather pocket 5, the bindings 7 and 10 (JOY- ering the edges of the aperture on the garment, the inner edges folded and stitched at 8 and l], the lower binding being stitched to the pocket at U, (3 and through the garment at 9, f), and the upper binding pocket and garment being stitched together at 12, substantially as described.

-l A garment provided with a pocket-opening, a poeket and areinforce, the latter being seeured to the upper and lower edges of the pocket and extending through the said opening in the garment and having its edges doubled under and secured to the face of the garment adjacent to the edges of the opening.
