Title: Pocket for shooting jacket
Inventor: LIRAZ GOLAN
IPC: A41D27/20
Filed: 2019-01-11
Abstract: A pocket for a garment, such as might be used to store ammunition cartridges in a shooting jacket, comprises a front wall 102, left and right side walls 104, an opening 106 defined by the top edges 102a, 104a of the front and side walls, and one of a front wall stiffening element 120 or a side wall stiffening element 122. Preferably, the stiffening elements are in the form of flat wires, and extend across both side walls’ and the front wall’s edges, but are not connected at the corners, but rather separate. This allows the stiffening elements to hold the pocket open more widely to improve access (especially for a user wearing gloves) to retrieve the shells, without putting a large amount of stress on any bends in the wires. The front wall might further comprise a stiffening web (208, fig. 4), or all the walls might comprise such webs, in the form of wire mesh (figure 6). The side wall might comprise a fold down vertically to form a bellows type pocket, and only the front part in this case would comprise a stiffening element (see figure 2). Preferably the pocket is closed by a flap 108.
