Sol Pocket

Abstract

The Sol Pocket is a sleeve-like pocket which is open on both ends and placed on an article of clothing. It is either a separate piece of fabric that is sewn on two parallel sides along the length of the edge, or is an extension of fabric that is folded back on itself and the open end sewn to create the pocket. The Sol Pocket then allows a pair of glasses to be held in place. Once the glasses are placed in the pocket, they also provide more structural integrity to the article of clothing so that the article of clothing does not get stretched or wrinkled. The pocket also allows a pair of glasses to be fashionably displayed by being held in place on an article of clothing.

Claims

1. A sleeve-like pocket for clothing, the pocket comprising: (a) Opposite ends that are open to enable glasses to be inserted from either side, and (b) Made from the extension of fabric doubled back on itself, or (c) A separate piece of fabric sewn onto the article of clothing.

2. The Pocket according to claim 1, wherein: The pocket can be placed anywhere on an article of clothing to enable easy access and provide a sense of fashion.

3. The pocket according to claim 1, further comprising structural integrity to the article of clothing and does not make the article of clothing appear stretched or strained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The Sol Pocket is a sleeve-like pocket that can be placed anywhere on an article of clothing so that the earpiece of a pair of glasses can be slid in and held in place. The glasses inside the pocket then provide structural integrity for the shirt so that it does not appear stretched or strained. It is open on both ends so that the glasses can be inserted from either side (although one side might be much easier to use in certain placements), and can be a separate piece of cloth that is sewn onto the article of clothing, or can be an extension of the fabric that is doubled back and sewn to create the pocket. The advantage of this design is that the shirt will not become stretched and strained, and won't look sloppy and messy. When the pocket has a pair of glasses inserted into it, it provides structural integrity to the shirt, so that it remains looking crisp and professional. The Sol Pocket attains this structural integrity by having the temple of the glasses acting like the bone structure of the collar. This has not been done previously as shirt design currently requires glasses to just be hung on the collar, which causes the collar to become stretched and strained. The easiest way to make the Sol Pocket is to extend the fabric in the shirt so that it can be doubled back over on itself and then the end of the fabric sewn into place, creating a longitudinal loop with open ends on both sides. Both sides are left open so that the glasses can be inserted from either end, depending on preference of the person wearing the shirt and the location of the Sol Pocket, as it can be placed in different places on the shirt itself (collar, sleeve, hem, etc.).
