COMBINED HAMMER LOOP ANDPQCKET FOR GARMENTS,

Application med March is, i927. .serial No. 176,430.

This invention is in the nature of animprovement on the pocket of the Carver Pat ent No. 1,143,038, granted June 15, 1915,'

in a modified way, and in addition affords a support for a hammer, as I will proceed now to explain and finally claim.

to form the mouth of the pocket.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating the invention, in the several figures of which like parts are similarly designated,

Figure 1 is a front elevation and Fig. 2 is a' cross-section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, showing one form of my pocket. Fig. 3ds a front elevation of another form, and Fig. et is a front elevation of the pocket shown in Fig.

3, with a hammer shown suspended from the top loop.

The pocket may be arranged upon the hip of an overall or other garment, in the form of a patch, with a loose or full loop crossing one corner of the pocket at its open top or mouth and affording access to the pocket, while preventing accidental escape of its contents, and also serving as a support for a. hammer, which last adds to the escape preventio-n.

In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the body 1 of the pocket hastwo parallel sides 2 and 3, o f differentlength, the shorter side being'seamed in the side seam A, of the garment B, and the other side and the inclined bot-tom 4 being 'stitched to the garment. The top 5 is left open or unattached A loop 6 of greater length than the width of the pocket, has its forward end stitched in the side seam and extends thence to the other side of the pocket across the higher end or top 5 of the pocket and there is secured to the garment over such end by stitches. Thus the forward upper portion of the pocket is left uncovered by the loop to permit the in'- sertion and removal of tools or other articles to be carried in the pocket, while the rear of the loop loosely closes the rear or higher end of the pocket sufficiently to prevent the accidental escape of its contents when the wearer bends or stoops in his work. It. is to be noted that the longitudinal edges of the loop are left freev and unattached to the garment excepting at their ends.

The fullness of the loop ,needv not be as great as that indicated inthe drawings, but it should be sufficient to permit the convenient suspension of a hammer 7 therein, as indicated in Fig. 4.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the loop 6 has parallel edges, while as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the loop 8 may have its upper edge straight and its lower edge next to the pocket may be inclined or beveled upwardly lfrom rear to front.

In Figs. 3 anda the pocket 1 is shown as made as a parallelogram, with its sides 2 and 3 and end't secured to the garment and `its upper end 5 left open', as in the form shownr in Figs. 1 and 2.

By suspending `or supporting the hammer by its head inthe loop, with its handle on the outside of the pocket,fas shown in Fig. 4,

the prevention of accidental escape of the contents of the pocket is enhanced. The hammer will be supported in the loop 6 as Ainloop8. W Y

As will be observed, both forms of pockets and loops have an opening 9 between the pocket and loop to facilitate access to the pocket for the insertion and removal of tools and other articles to be carried by the wearer.

In the Carver patent the top of the socalled upper pocket is stitched to the garment and therefore is closed and because it is closed it cannot be used to support a hammer, while itdoes prevent the escape of the contents of the so-called lower pocket. It is desirable to provide a hammer support, and in order to combine the functions of a pocket for preventing the escape of the tools and the support ofk a hammer, I have provided the loose gapping loop, over and overlapping the pocket. By omitting the top stitching,-the loop serves as a supportfor a hammer,'and with the hammer in the loop, as in Fig. 4, there couldbe no escape of the tools from thepocket. and without the hammerin the loop, the latter being distend? 1. A combined hammer loop and pocket for a garment, havinga pocket proper with .its upperl end open, and a loop Secured only by its ends to the garment and extending Cros'swise of the open endvof said pocket and overlying a portion of said open end.

2. A combined hammer loop and pocket for a garment, comprising a pocket proper attached to the garment and having its upper end open, and a loop having free parallel longitudinal edges and overlapping al part of the open endfof the pocket and Yattached to the garment `loy its ends and with a fullness of the material.

3. A combined hammer loop and pocket for a garinent comprising a 'pocket proper Vattached to the garment and having its upper end open, and a loop of greater length than the Width of saiidpooket'` andihaving parallel top and bottom edges and overlapping the open end o-said pocket, and attachecl-by its ends onlyto the garment, the loop serving to prevent the accidental escape of the contents of the pocket and also serving as a hammer support. u v l In testimony whereof Ihave hereunto set my hand thisV 16th day of March, A. Dy1927.
