PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Pockets for Painters' Jackets or
the like.
I, WATSON WILBY PECK trading as John Peck of 4 Circus Street, Liverpool
in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows :—
This invention has for its object a pocket which will prevent the contents falling
out when the wearer stoops. It is designed for use more especially with painters'
jackets for holding putty knives, and thus prevent these putty knives from falling
out when the painter stoops down, though it is obvious that the invention is not
limited solely to this purpose, but may be used for other purposes besides.
In carrying the invention into effect, the plan I prefer is to form the pocket with
part of the top sewn firmly to the garment, while the other part is left open, so
that the article can be inserted. The opening at the top can be of any suitable
form either diagonal, straight, or curved, or a portion at the top of the pocket may
be sewn to the garment and an opening left in the middle for the article to be
inserted or withdrawn. Thus it will be seen that, when the wearer stoops down,
the article in the pocket will fall to one side, in which position it is prevented from
accidentally falling out by the part at the top of the pocket which is sewn up. To
remove the article, however, all that is necessary is to move it to one side slightly,
so that it shall be in a line with the pocket opening, and it can then be easily
withdrawn.

Improvements in or relating to Pockets for Painters' Jackets or
the like.
I, WATSON WILBY PECK trading as John Peck of 4 Circus Street, Liverpool
in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention has for its object a pocket which will prevent the contents falling
out when the wearer stoops. It is designed for use inore especially with painters'
juckets for holding putty knives, and thus prevent these putty knives from falling
out when the painter stoops down, though it is obvious that the invention is not
limited solely to this purpose, but may be used for other purposes besides.
The invention will be understood from the following description reference being
had to the accompanying drawing, which shows a portion of a painter's jacket with
my improved pocket applied thereto.
In this drawing, A is the pocket, with the part B of the top sewn firmly to the
garment, while the other part C is left open, so that a putty knife or other article

The bottom of the pocket is formed somewhat tapering. The
putty knife when being inserted into the pocket assumes the position showu by D,
and the sloping bottom of the pocket will cause it to fall to one side into the
position D, in which position it is prevented from accidentally falling out when the
wearer stoops down, by the part B of the top of the pocket which is sewn up.
remove the article, all that is necessary is to move it to one side slightly, so that it
can be withdrawn through the pocket opening C.
To
I have described one way in which my invention may be carried into effect, but
it is obvious that the opening at the top can be of any suitable form, either diagonal,
straight or curved, or a portion of the top of the pocket may be sewn to the garment
and an opening left in the middle for the article to be inserted or withdrawn.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In a painter's jacket or the like, forming them with a pocket having a part at
the top sewn firmly to the garment, and the other part or parts at top left open in
such a manner that the article can easily be inserted or withdrawn, but when
inserted, the article will fall to one side, in which position it is prevented from
accidentally falling out when the wearer stoops, by the part at the top of the pocket
which is sewn up, substantially as described.
2. In a painter's jacket or the like having a pocket for holding a putty knife or
other article, the forming of the pocket at the top and bottom in such a manner
that an article inserted therein such as a putty knife et cetera will not accidentally
fall out of the pocket when the wearer stoops, substantially as set forth.
