Patented May 8, 1923. 194549771 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE. JOSEPH STONE, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO STONE SAFETY, IIQCKET COXPANY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. SAFE@ TY POCKET. Application filed April 18, 1922. Seri@Ll No. 554,687. Y'o a.11 hom it may concern: q'v Be dt known that 1, JOSEPH STONF,, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the cciinty of Cook and Stat@ of Illinois, have inventeci certaih new and useful Improvements in Sa-fety Poeli:ets, of -which the@ following is a sp@cification. My inveiition relates to @t safety pocl,:et loca,tecl adjacent.to the ordinary poelket, but 10 havii@g the entrance thereto so concealed that it is not obNioLis and cannot be readily located by pickpoelkets. This pocl,:et is located bet-ween the usual pocket and the body of the garment, and its M'outh is so closed 15 that aiticles cannot. be iceidentally lo@st. . An object of my inve I ntion is to provide Sl.i'cl-i ,t pocket thtt. will be highly efficient and can be combined ivith the ordinary poel@et without any obviotis @modification of 20 tl-ie usual (yarmeiit. A furil@er object of the -Lnventi6n is to -P -Lorip the -welt which pro-%,ides the u sual f aeino, for the ordinary poeli:et 6f siich -width and location th,,tt it 'will a;@t as a, complete 25 closure for the motith of the see-ret poeliet@ tlius rendering the latter ordinarily un-noticeable. Fur,ther objects will be apparent froiii the folloiving detailed description and th@e ap@- .30 pended claims. Tn the drawings Fl(,Yure 1 is a, perspective v..ie-w of the 1)ocket from the oLitside with the ord ina-i@y. flap ttii-ned Lip and the welt raised, so@ as to disclose the entratice: to the secret po.eket. Figure 2 is a somewha-t cliagra-mmatic viei@ from the inside of the garment show-@ in- the ; Niarious, pieces that enter into tlie. 40 are arranged a,ncl f astened. Fio-iire 3 @ is - a: @ vertical, sectional viow thro-Lip,h the --t ruct-Lire sho-wn in Fiaure 2. ,,@,,res 4, 5, 6 and @ are detail -views showin- @ i,arious steps in the, inanufacture 45 of tlie, poeli:et The I)oclcet mav be placed in coats,, trousers, skirts or other uai-ments, and'a portion@ of the body of the uhrment is indicated@ at A. Two pieces 1 an@'d 2 of eq-Li,,tl, size of @ the 5o (,armel'it naterial a,re superposed @ aiicl stitched tocether as at 10 (Fiomre. 4), . Tlie@.e@-. I)ieces are then straiglite@.ied out as slio-@vn in Fic,iii-e 5, la.id tipon the aarment and one edge of tlle piece 1 is sti@eliecl to the gar55 me-Tit- at 9 togetlier -witl-i a piece olf tape or other r6inforein(y material D. A strip o clotli material @f a size corresponding to that of the pocket clesired is la,id -Lipon the garment ancl stitched tl-iereto at @8 closely adjacent tl-ie edge o-f the piece 1. On the 60 under side of the garment material a piece B of lining or stiff--ning material is placed and tl-ie stitclliiigs 8 an.d 9 pass tl-ierethrough. A slit is tl-ien made in the garment material bet-ween the edlre of the strip 1 and the 65 edge of the strip 3, this slit cutting through both the oarment ancl the materiat B. The combined piece 1 and 2 is drawu through the slit, and the piece 3 is also dra-%vn throuo-h the slit'as indic,,tted iii Figure 6. 70 A @lece of the garmeiit niaterial 4 is then talten, folded over ancl stitched through near tl-ie fold, an interl)osecl piece E of tape or other reinforeincr miterial a-Iso being fasteiied by t.his sti@chin(, 11 as shown in 75 Figure@ 6. The free edges of the piece 4 are then placed @ on the. folded ed(re of piece 2 and fastoned thereto by stitching 12, as shown in Figures 6 and 7. A piece o,f pocket inaterial 5 has its upper 50 edge folcled 6ATer and stitched at 13 to, the -Linder'seam of,::the pi6ce 1. A second piece Of pocket material 6 has its uppe@ ed(re stitched to the piece 4 at its point of attacliment to the piece 2. The tWo pie 5 an 6 85 are sewed together aroun(:l the sides nd bottom as, at 1,4, fonniiia the secret pocket. Afiothor 'Piec(, 7 6f po@ket material of the desired size has its lower r)art turned up and stitched to the IoNver edge of the piece 2 a 90 15.@ @This piece 7 overlI.I)s the piece, 3 and is stitche,cl @thereto at@16 and 17. This forms the -us-ual@ pocket. ustial flap C and@ as @hown in Figure 3, this 95 fl,,tp! with the folded 'ed(re of the oarmett material@,at the ed(ye of the@@slit' thE, pi6ce 3 and the poel@:et piece.
