Abstract
A security pocket assembly for use in combination with a garment of the type having a pair of leg portions, each terminating in an open lower end, the pocket assembly including at least one material panel secured along an interior of at least one of the leg portions, near an open lower end of the leg portion, so as to define a compartment, the leg portion further including a slit disposed therein, the slit being positioned to correspond an open top edge of the material panel so as to provide access to an interior of the compartment from an exterior of the leg portion, while not being substantially visible from an exterior of the leg portion.

In combination with a garment of the type including a first leg portion and a second leg portion, each of the leg portions terminating in an open lower end and having an inboard vertical seamline;
- a security pocket assembly comprising:
- at least one material panel having a first top edge, a second bottom edge and at least two generally opposite side edges,
- said material panel being folded to define a compartment wherein said first top edge generally corresponds with said second bottom edge,
- said compartment being secured in an interior of at least one of the leg portions near the open lower end of said leg portion;
- a slit in said at least one leg portion, said slit having a first and a second opposing lip, said slit being disposed to correspond said corresponded top and bottom edges of said material panel so as to provide access to an interior of said compartment from an exterior of the leg portion, and
- said material panel being secured in said at least one leg portion by a generally T shaped pattern, said T shaped pattern securing said first top edge of said panel to said first opposing lip of said slit and Securing said second bottom edge of said panel to said second opposing lip of said slit, and further securing a main face of said panel adjacent the inboard vertical seamline to the inboard vertical seamline of said at lease one leg portion of the garment.
In combination with a garment of the type including a first leg portion and a second leg portion, each of the leg portions terminating in an open lower end and having an inboard vertical seamline;
- a security pocket assembly comprising:
- at least two material panels, each panel having a top edge, a bottom edge and at least two generally opposite side edges,
- each of said material panels being secured to one another along said side edges and said bottom edges so as to define a compartment,
- said compartment being secured in an interior of at least one of the leg portions near the open lower end of said leg portion;
- a slit in said at least one leg portion, said slit having a first and a second opposing lip, said slit being disposed to correspond said top edges of said compartment so as to provide access to an interior of said compartment from an exterior of the leg portion, and
- said material panel being secured within said at least one leg portion by a generally T shaped pattern, said T shaped pattern securing one of said top panel edges to said first opposing lip of said slit and securing another of said top panel edges to said second opposing lip of said slit, and further securing a main face of at least one of said panels to the inboard vertical seamline of said at lease one leg portion of the garment.
In combination with a garment of the type including a first leg portion and a second leg portion, each of the leg portions terminating in an open lower end and having an inboard vertical seamline, wherein a lower leg portion has been severed from one of said leg portions, a security pocket assembly comprising:
- at least two material panels, each panel having a top edge, a bottom edge and at least two generally opposite side edges,
- each of said material panels being secured to one another along said side edges and said bottom edges so as to define a compartment,
- zipper closure means having a first portion and a second portion;
- said first zipper portion being secured to one of said top panel edges and said second zipper portion being secured to another of said top panel edges,
- said compartment and zipper closure means being secured to the severed lower leg portion near one of said top panel edges and being secured to the severed main leg portion near another of said top panel edges,
- said compartment and zipper closure means being further secured to said at least one leg portion by a generally "T" shaped seam comprised of stitches sewn substantially across a main face of one of said compartment panels and secured to the inboard vertical seamline of said at least one leg portion of the garment, and
- said compartment and zipper closure means being disposed within an interior of said at least one leg portion of said garment upon the severed lower leg portion being re-sewn to the severed main leg portion.
In combination with a garment of the type including a first leg portion and a second leg portion, each of the leg portions terminating in an open lower end and having an inboard vertical seamline, wherein an end zone of the first leg portion has been severed therefrom, a security pocket assembly comprising:
- at least two material panels, each panel having a top edge, a bottom edge, and at least two generally opposite side edges, each of said material panels being secured to one another along said side edges and said bottom edges so as to define a compartment,
- closure means secured to said top panel edges for closing said compartment,
- the severed end zone of the leg portion being re-attached to the main leg portion of the garment with said compartment and said closure means secured thereto and disposed within an interior of the leg portion of the garment, and
- one of said material panels forming said compartment being further secured to the inboard vertical seamline of the first leg portion of the garment.
In combination with a garment of the type including a first leg portion and a second leg portion, each of the leg portions terminating in an open lower end and having an inboard vertical seamline, wherein a lower leg portion has been severed from one of said leg portions, a security pocket assembly comprising:
- a material panel having a top edge, a bottom edge, and at least two generally opposite side edges,
- said material panel being folded so as to define a compartment with said top edge generally corresponding said bottom edge and said side edges being secured together,
- closure means secured to said top and bottom panel edges for closing said compartment,
- the severed lower leg portion being re-attached to the main leg portion of the garment with said compartment and closure means secured thereto, and with said compartment and closure means disposed within an interior of the leg portion of the garment, and
- a main face of said panel forming said compartment being further secured to the inboard vertical seamline of the leg portion of the garment.
