Abstract
The technology disclosed is a device and a method which allows one to temporarily store an object on one's person or otherwise which is non-disruptive to a person's present habits. The device is a pocket which remains open at the top, but has an extra fabric lining with has a higher frictional resistance than the pocket liner or material used to construct the garment, in general.
Claims20
A fabric pocket comprising:
- two opposing fabric elements fixedly attached to each other at their peripheries and comprising an aperture there between, said aperture opening into an interior space of said pocket;
- an additional fabric liner fixedly attached along an entire surface thereof within said interior space of said pocket to an entirety of at least a first said fabric element such that all of said first fabric element is covered by said additional fabric liner, said additional fabric liner comprising a coefficient of friction that is at least 20% greater than that of said fabric elements.
A fabric pocket comprising:
- A first and second opposing fabric element fixedly attached to each other at their peripheries and comprising an unobstructed aperture there between at at least a portion of a top side of said fabric elements, said aperture opening into an interior space of said pocket;
- wherein at least an interior side of said second opposing fabric element comprises a coefficient of friction that is at least 20% greater than that of an at least interior side of said first fabric element.
A method of storing an object comprising the steps of:
- wearing a garment, said garment comprising a pocket having two opposing interior sides wherein at least one said side of said interior of said pocket comprises a substantially higher frictional resistance than an at least adjacent fabric of the garment to said pocket;
- placing an object in said pocket touching said at least one side of said interior of said pocket, wherein said object and said one side of said interior of said pocket have a coefficient of friction that is at least 20% greater than that of said object and said adjacent fabric;
- and
- releasing said object.
