DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new pocket embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

[0018] As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the attachable pocket device 10 generally comprises a plurality of containers 12. The plurality of containers 12 may include between five and seven containers, although other numbers are also contemplated. Each container of the plurality of containers 12 generally includes a base wall 14. The base wall 14 may be planar. A peripheral wall 16 may be coupled to and extend upwardly from the base wall 14 to define an interior space 18. The peripheral wall 16 may have an upper edge 20 that is distally positioned relative to the base wall 14. The upper edge 20 may define an opening 22 into the interior space 18. The peripheral wall 16 may be perpendicular to the base wall 14.

[0019] The peripheral wall 16 may include a front side 24. The front side 24 may be planar. The peripheral wall 16 may also include a back side 26. The back side 26 may be planar. The back side 26 may be parallel to the front side 24. A pair of lateral sides 28 may be coupled to and extend between the front side 24 and the back side 26. Each lateral side of the pair of lateral sides 28 may be perpendicular to the front side 24.

[0020] Each container of the plurality of containers 12 may have a height 30 that is between 3.0 inches and 9.0 inches. The height 30 is generally measured between the base wall 14 and the upper edge 20 of the peripheral wall 16. Each container of the plurality of containers 12 may have a length 32 that is between 3.0 inches and 9.0 inches. The length 32 is generally measured between the pair of lateral sides 28 of the peripheral wall 16. Each container of the plurality of containers 12 may have a width 34 that is between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches. The width 34 is generally measured between the front side 24 and the back side 26 of the peripheral wall 16.

[0021] An adhesive material 36 is coupled to each container of the plurality of containers 12. The adhesive material 36 is generally configured to adhesively engage an article of clothing 38 to secure a selectable container of the plurality of containers 12 to the article of clothing 38. The selectable container of the plurality of containers 12 is generally configured to facilitate a user in storing personal items while the user is wearing the article of clothing 38.

[0022] A cover 40 may be removably affixed to the adhesive material 36. The cover 40 is generally configured to inhibit debris from damaging the adhesive material 36 while the cover 40 is affixed to the adhesive material 36. The cover 40 may be removed to expose the adhesive material 36 when the selectable container of the plurality of containers 12 is coupled to the article of clothing 38.

[0023] In use, the cover 40 may be removed from the adhesive material 36 and the adhesive material 36 may be positioned on the article of clothing 38. The adhesive material 36 may adhesively engage the article of clothing 38 to secure the selectable container of the plurality of containers 12 to the article of clothing 38. The plurality of containers 12 may be added to any article of clothing 38, whether or not the article of clothing 38 has pockets of its own.

[0024] The user can position the selectable container of the plurality of containers 12 on the article of clothing 38 at any location the user desires to add storage capacity. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of containers 12 may be positioned on an inner surface 42 of the article of clothing 38, for example when the user wants to add storage space that is hidden or that is more protected from theft attempts. The plurality of containers 12 may also be positioned on an outer surface 44 of the article of clothing 38, for example when the user wants to add storage space that is easily accessible while the article of clothing 38 is being worn.

[0025] The height 30, length 32, and width 34 of each container of the plurality of containers 12 are each generally designed to provide storage for personal items, such as a cell phone, a set of keys, a pen, or a wallet. Accordingly, each container of the plurality of containers 12 may be square or rectangular in shape. In a preferred embodiment, the height 30 and the length 30 are each approximately 6.0 inches.

[0026] Each container of the plurality of containers 12 may comprise a plurality of materials. However, in preferred embodiments, each container of the plurality of containers 12 is generally formed of a plastic material. In some embodiments, the plastic material may be rigid, for example to inhibit compression damage to the personal items which are stored within the selectable container of the plurality of containers 12. In other embodiments, the plastic material may be flexible, for example to allow the selectable container of the plurality of containers 12 to be compressed or deformed against a body of the user while the user is wearing the article of clothing 38.

[0027] With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

[0028] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word comprising is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article a does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
