STORAGE POCKET STRUCTURE

Abstract

In a pocket 2 provided in a garment 1, a storage pocket structure according to the present invention includes: a key-like portion fabric of a hook-and-loop fastener on a pocket inner surface fabric 3 on the garment 1 side of an inner surface of the pocket 2; and a pile fabric of a hook-and-loop fastener on a pocket inner surface fabric 4 on a pocket exterior fabric 5 side facing thereto. When a stored item 6 is stored in the pocket 2, the key-like portion fabric and the pile fabric mesh with each other around the stored item 6 to form hook-and-loop fastener meshing areas 7, thereby restricting movement of the stored item 6.

Claims

1. A storage pocket structure comprising: a key-like portion fabric of a hook-and-loop fastener on one of opposite inner surfaces of a storage pocket; and a pile fabric of a hook-and-loop fastener on the other inner surface of the storage pocket, wherein when a stored item is stored, the key-like portion fabric and the pile fabric mesh with each other around the stored item to restrict movement of the stored item.

2. The storage pocket structure according to claim 1, wherein the key-like portion fabric and the pile fabric are entirely disposed on the inner surfaces, respectively.

3. The storage pocket structure according to claim 1, wherein the key-like portion fabric and the pile fabric are made of microfibers.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described.

[0023] FIG. 1 is a front view of a garment having a storage pocket structure. A garment 1 provided with a storage pocket structure of the present invention is, for example, sportswear, and is provided with a pocket 2 for storing a small item having a size that can be held by hand, such as a key or a coin.

[0024] FIG. 2 is a view showing pocket inner surface fabrics. The interior of the pocket 2 is composed of a pocket inner surface fabric 3 and a pocket inner surface fabric 4. The pocket inner surface fabric 3 has a key-like portion of a hook-and-loop fastener disposed on a whole surface, and the pocket inner surface fabric 4 has a pile fabric of a hook-and-loop fastener disposed on a whole surface. The hook-and-loop fasteners used for the pocket inner surface fabric 3 and the pocket inner surface fabric 4 are soft touch hook-and-loop fasteners made of microfibers, and there is no risk of damaging skin even if a hand is softly inserted. Specifically, VELCRO DFL-E (registered trademark) of Internat Velcro Company and FASTENANO (registered trademark) of Teijin Limited can be used.

[0025] FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along a line A-A of FIG. 1. Here, a cross section is schematically shown. The pocket inner surface fabric 3 is sewn on the garment 1 at positions of sewing points 8. The pocket inner surface fabric 4 is sewn on a pocket exterior fabric 5 at the positions of the sewing points 8. The key-like portion of the hook-and-loop fastener of the pocket inner surface fabric 3 faces the pile fabric of the hook-and-loop fastener of the pocket inner surface fabric 4, and they are disposed to mesh with each other. Note that replacement may be performed so that the pocket inner surface fabric 3 has the pile fabric and the pocket inner surface fabric 4 has the key-like portion.

[0026] FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A of a state in which a stored item is put. Here also, a cross section is schematically shown. When a small item such as a key or coin is inserted as a stored item 6 between the pocket inner surface fabric 3 and the pocket inner surface fabric 4, in portions other than a contact area with the pocket inner surface fabric 3 and the pocket inner surface fabric 4 of the stored item 6, that is, hook-and-loop fastener meshing areas 7, the key-like portion of the pocket inner surface fabric 3 and the pile fabric of the pocket inner surface fabric 4 are intertwined and meshed around the stored item 6, so that the stored item 6 is not moved. As a result, even if a plurality of keys and coins are inserted, the entire stored item 6 is fixed, and there is no unpleasant sound emitted during collision, so a wearer can concentrate on exercise etc. without feeling discomfort.

[0027] Here, the hook-and-loop fastener is disposed on the whole surface of one side of each of the pocket inner surface fabric 3 and the pocket inner surface fabric 4, but even if a part of the stored item 6 is fixed, a certain effect can be obtained. Accordingly, the hook-and-loop fastener may be separated into tapes, and a part of the fabric may be composed of a fabric which is not made of the hook-and-loop fastener.

[0028] For example, in FIG. 5, a pocket inner surface fabric 9 has hook-and-loop fastener portions 3a arrayed side by side in a longitudinal direction. In FIG. 6, a pocket inner surface fabric 10 has hook-and-loop fastener portions 3b arranged in parallel in a lateral direction. In FIG. 7, hook-and-loop fastener portions 3c are disposed by intersecting on a pocket inner surface fabric 11.

[0029] Thus, in the garment provided with the storage pocket structure of the present embodiment, the hook-and-loop fastener is used on the inner surface of a pocket storage portion. The fabric on one side of the pocket inner surface fabric is configured with the fabric with the key-like portion of the hook-and-loop fastener and the fabric on the surface corresponding thereto is configured with the pile fabric of the hook-and-loop fastener. Accordingly, around small items such as a key that is a stored item, the key-like portion and the pile fabric mesh with each other, there is no space in which the stored item can move, and movement of the stored item is restricted, so that the stored item is fixed. As a result, the stored item does not move in the pocket even against intense movement of the wearer, and the wearer does not feel discomfort.

[0030] Note that usage is not limited to a garment, especially sportswear worn during exercise, and may be applied to a bag when it is not desired to make a plurality of stored items contact with each other so that a non-contact state with each other can be easily maintained in one storage part. Although it is preferable to use a soft hook-and-loop fastener with emphasis on touch for a storage pocket structure of a garment, in a case of a bag or the like, a hook-and-loop fastener having a strong meshing force may be used as needed. For example, in a case of using a storage pocket structure for a small bag etc. brought into close contact with a body, a hook-and-loop fastener having a firm key-like portion may be used.

[0031] As mentioned above, although the storage pocket structure concerning the present invention has been explained based on the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. Various design changes are possible within the range in which the object of the present invention can be achieved and without deviating from the gist of the invention, and all of them are included in the technical scope of the present invention.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

[0032] The present invention is suitable for a garment, a bag, or the like provided with a storage pocket.
