Abstract
A method of constructing a patch pocket on a garment. A flap is initially cut in the outer surface of the garment at the desired pocket location. Preferably, the flap is generally U-shaped. A pocket lining is attached to the flap and together the flap and pocket lining define a pouch which will form the interior of the pocket. A pocket covering is attached to a portion of the pocket lining and to the garment in a manner which permits the pouch to be displaced from behind the pocket covering to facilitate embroidering the pocket covering when in place on the garment.
Claims16
A method of constructing a pocket on a garment, the method comprising the steps of:
- creating a first opening in the garment where the pocket is to be provided, said first opening creating a flap in the garment which is able to move in and out of the plane of the garment;
- attaching a pocket lining to the flap such that the flap and the pocket lining provide opposing internal surfaces of a pouch which is able to move in and out of the plane of the garment;
- and
- attaching a pocket covering to a portion of the pocket lining and to the garment to provide a surface able to be embroidered, wherein the pouch is able to be displaced from behind the pocket covering so that the pocket covering can be embroidered when in place on the garment.
A method of embroidering a covering of a pocket on a garment comprising the steps of:
- displacing a pouch portion of a pocket from behind a covering of the pocket, said pouch comprising a pocket lining and a flap of the garment, which are attached to each other to provide opposing internal surfaces of the pouch;
- introducing a support member through an opening in the garment, to support the covering of the pocket;
- holding the covering of the pocket in place against the support member by a frame member, thereby limiting the movement of the covering of the pocket during the embroidery process;
- and
- embroidering a logo or emblem onto the covering of the pocket.
A pocket on a garment constructed according to a method comprising the steps of:
- creating a first opening in the garment where the pocket is to be provided, said first opening creating a flap in the garment which is able to move in and out of the plane of the garment;
- attaching a pocket lining to the flap such that the flap and the pocket lining provide opposing internal surfaces of a pouch which is able to move in and out of the plane of the garment;
- and
- attaching a pocket covering to a portion of the pocket lining and to the garment to provide a surface able to be embroidered, wherein the pouch is able to be displaced from behind the pocket covering so that the pocket covering can be embroidered when in place on the garment.
A garment having a pocket member attached to the outer surface of an outer layer of garment material, said outer layer having a cut formed therein, said pocket member having an edge forming an end of a pocket, a lining member having a first end edge connected with said pocket member adjacent said pocket member edge and having a second end edge attached to said outer layer adjacent said cut.
