CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATION

This application claims the benefit of priority to Taiwan Patent Application No. 110104728, filed on Feb. 8, 2021. The entire content of the above identified application is incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to a clothing, and more particularly to a functional clothing having improved pockets.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

In present society, people emphasize portability and efficiency. Therefore, people usually only carry valuable personal items when going out. Most commercial clothing has pockets for users to place small items, such as change, keys, and wallets. However, the pockets on such clothing generally only provide storage for the items, and too many different items will cause difficulties for the user when attempting to take a certain one out.

For instance, when a key, a business card and change are placed in the same pocket and the user takes out the key, the business card or change may be caught on and brought along with the key to fall out of the pocket. In addition, most of the pockets are made of non-elastic plain woven fabrics. Therefore, when the user changes posture or moves, the items in the pockets may easily slip out of the pocket and be lost. Although most of valuable items (such as credit cards, ID cards, banknotes, change, etc.) are placed in a wallet, when the wallet is placed in the pocket of a pair of pants, the pocket may bulge out and affect the aesthetic appearance.

In conventional technologies, zippers or buttons are arranged at an opening of the pocket, so as to prevent items from slipping out of the pockets. However, the zippers or buttons are hard parts that cause wearing discomfort to the user.

Therefore, how to enhance convenience and security of the pockets through structural design improvements, whilst taking into account the aesthetic appearance of the clothing to overcome the above-referenced technical inadequacies, has become an important issue yet to be solved in this field.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

Poorly designed clothing pockets may result in difficulty of sorting items or the items slipping out of the pockets easily. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a functional clothing having improved pockets. In the functional clothing, a card holder pocket and an inner pocket are respectively disposed in two pocket spaces, which can properly store the items (such as cards and change), so as to prevent property losses due to valuable items slipping out of a pocket opening. Furthermore, the improved pockets of the functional clothing have no hard parts (such as zippers and buttons), thereby not causing discomfort to a user.

First Embodiment

Referring toFIG. 1toFIG. 7, a first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a functional clothing C, which is a top, a coat, a vest, a pair of pants, or a skirt. In this embodiment, the functional clothing C is a pair of trousers. The functional clothing C at least includes a clothing body10, a first pocket20, a card holder pocket30, a second pocket40, and an inner pocket50. The first pocket20is disposed on the clothing body10and has a first pocket space21. The card holder pocket30is disposed in the first pocket space21, and the card holder pocket30has at least one card holder pocket space31. The second pocket40is disposed on the clothing body10and has a second pocket space41. The inner pocket50is disposed in the second pocket space41, and the inner pocket50has an inner pocket space51. In this embodiment, the functional clothing C can further include a waist pocket60and other pockets (for instance, two back pockets, which are not shown). However, the aforementioned description for the functional clothing C of the first embodiment is merely an example and is not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

Referring toFIG. 1toFIG. 3, in this embodiment, the first pocket20and the second pocket40are respectively disposed on corresponding sides of the clothing body10, and the clothing body10includes a first outer cloth11, a first inner cloth12, a second outer cloth13, a second inner cloth14, and a waist part15. The first outer cloth11is connected to a portion of the first inner cloth12so as to form the first pocket space21, and the card holder pocket30is disposed on the first inner cloth12. The second outer cloth13is connected to a portion of the second inner cloth14so as to form the second pocket space41, and the inner pocket50is disposed on the second inner cloth14. The waist pocket60is disposed at the waist part15and has a waist pocket space61.

In this embodiment, the first pocket20, the second pocket40, and the waist pocket60are inside pockets. In other words, the first pocket20, the second pocket40, and the waist pocket60are hidden in the clothing body10. In certain other embodiments, positions of the first pocket and the second pocket can be not symmetrical. In addition, when the functional clothing is the pants or the skirt, the functional clothing can be configured to have the waist pocket for placing keys in practical application, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Referring toFIG. 4, the card holder pocket30includes an inner card holder pocket cloth32and a plurality of outer card holder pocket cloths33that overlap, and the at least one card holder pocket space31includes an inner card holder pocket space311and a plurality of outer card holder pocket spaces312. In addition, the inner card holder pocket cloth32is connected to a portion of the first inner cloth12to form the inner card holder pocket space311, and the plurality of outer card holder pocket cloths33are sequentially arranged on an outer side of the inner card holder pocket cloth32to form the plurality of outer card holder pocket spaces312. For instance, a width of the inner card holder pocket cloth32and the outer card holder pocket cloths33can range from 48 mm to 52 mm (which is shorter than widths of commercially available cards), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Specifically speaking, each card holder pocket space31has a corresponding card holder opening. In this embodiment, two of the outer card holder pocket cloths33are sequentially and downwardly arranged, and are partially overlapped on the outer side of the inner card holder pocket cloth32. As such, each card holder opening is sequentially and downwardly arranged. Therefore, during use, cards stored in each card holder pocket space31may not overlap completely, so as to prevent the first pocket20from bulging and affecting the appearance. Further, the first pocket20includes a first pocket bottom22, and the card holder pocket30is spaced from the first pocket bottom22(preferably, a distance between the card holder pocket30and the first pocket bottom22is about 2 to 15 cm). In other words, during use, items in the first pocket20will not completely overlap with the cards in the card holder pocket30, so as to prevent the first pocket20from bulging and affecting the aesthetic appearance.

Referring toFIG. 5, when in use, the card holder pocket30is suitable for storing a plurality of cards80(such as credit cards, ID cards, ATM cards, etc.), and surface areas of the inner card holder pocket cloth32and the outer card holder pocket cloths33are about 80% to 90% of a standard card size. Therefore, each of the cards80can be completely clamped in the card holder pocket30, and is partially exposed so as to be easily taken out by the user. It should be noted that in order to prevent the valuable items from slipping out of the pocket, a material of the card holder pocket30can be an elastic cloth, which has a stretching rate ranging from 3% to 10% (preferably, from 5% to 8%). Furthermore, the cloth conventionally used to make pockets is plain woven fabric, which has no elasticity. Therefore, items may easily move in the pocket during wear, or the card may be difficult to take out. The material of the card holder pocket30of the present disclosure is a knitted fabric with elasticity, which allows the card holder pocket space31to be relatively stretchable, so that the user can take the cards80out conveniently. Moreover, the card holder pocket30having a stretching rate within a specific range can hold the cards80, so as to ensure that the cards80will not easily slip out of the card holder pocket space31.

Referring toFIG. 6, the inner pocket50includes an inner pocket cloth52, and the inner pocket cloth52is connected to a portion of the second inner cloth14so as to form the inner pocket space51. Referring toFIG. 7, in practice, the inner pocket50can be used to store banknotes or change. In addition, the second pocket40includes a second pocket bottom42, and the inner pocket50is spaced apart from the second pocket bottom42(preferably, a distance between the inner pocket50and the second pocket bottom42is about 2 to 15 cm). In other words, during use, items in the second pocket40will not completely overlap with the cards in the inner pocket50, so as to prevent the second pocket40from bulging and affecting the aesthetic appearance.

Second Embodiment

Referring toFIG. 8toFIG. 9, a functional clothing C′ of a second embodiment of the present disclosure is an outer garment. The structure of the functional clothing C′ of the second embodiment of the present disclosure is essentially the same as the structure of the functional clothing C of the first embodiment of the present disclosure, and will not be reiterated herein. The difference between the second embodiment of the present disclosure and the first embodiment is that a clothing body10of the second embodiment includes a first outer cloth11and a second outer cloth13. The first outer cloth11is connected to a portion of the clothing body10so as to form a first pocket space21, and a card holder pocket30is disposed on the clothing body10. The second outer cloth13is connected to another portion of the clothing body10so as to form a second pocket space41, and an inner pocket50is disposed on the clothing body10. In this embodiment, the first pocket20and the second pocket40are outside pockets. That is to say, the first pocket20and the second pocket40are shown on the clothing body10. It should be noted that in this embodiment, an inner card holder pocket cloth32of the card holder pocket30is connected to a portion of the clothing body10to form an inner card holder pocket space31, and an inner pocket cloth52of the inner pocket50is connected with another portion of the clothing body10to form an inner pocket space51.
