Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of trowsers pockets
80 as to more conveniently contain coins.
My improved pocket which I call the £ s. d. trowsers pocket is constructed of
any suitable textile fabric such as leather, wash leather or like material or any
of these combined as may be deemed necessary.
The pocket is made by sewing along with the portions or sides of the ordinary
pocket, one or two pieces of the material inside and so as to divide the pocket into
two or three compartments, the division pieces being terminated at any convenient
height inside the pocket so as to conveniently contain different kinds of coins in
separate compartments.
The pockets are made so as to be placed in the trowsers in precisely the same
manner in which trowser's pockets are now usually placed and attached.

Merchant 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 relates to improvements in the construction of trowsers pockets
so as to more conveniently contain coins.
My improved pocket which I call the £ s. d. trowsers pocket is constructed of
any suitable textile fabric or leather, wash leather or like material or any of these
combined as may be deemed necessary.
The pocket is made by sewing along with the portions or sides of the ordinary
pocket, one or two pieces of material inside and so as to divide the pocket into two
or three compartments, the division pieces being terminated at any convenient
height inside the pocket so as to conveniently contain different kinds of coins in
separate compartments.
The pockets are made so as to be placed in the trowsers in precisely the same
manner in which trowsers pockets are now usually placed and attached.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will proceed to describe
the same by reference to the accompanying drawing in which figure 1 represents a
front view of the upper part of a pair of trowsers provided with a circular pocket
constructed according to my invention the pocket being divided into three
compartments; figure 2 is a section of the same on line A, B, of figure 1; figure 3 is
a similar view to figure 2, but shewing the pocket divided into two compartments
only; figure 4 is a similar view to figure 1 but shewing the trowsers provided with
& side pocket.
Similar letters in all the figures represent similar parts.
a, a, represent the portions forming the sides of an ordinary pocket and made of
suitable textile fabric such as those hereinbefore referred to; b, b, figures 1 and 2
are the pieces of material sewn inside along with the portions or sides a, a, so as to
divide the pocket into three compartments as shown in figure 2 in which different
kinds of coins can be placed; the said pieces b, b, are terminated at different heights
as represented to afford facility to the wearer in inserting his hand in the different
compartments; c, is the usual opening in the trowsers leading to the pocket which
is attached to the trowsers in the usual manner.
In figure 3 I have shewn a pocket provided with only one division piece b, for
dividing the pocket into two compartments as will be well understood without
further description."
In figure 1 I have illustrated my improved pocket as applied to trowsers with
circular pockets but it will be obvious that the invention is equally applicable
to side pockets the height of termination being varied to suit the altered position
as shown in figure 4.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The manufacture and use of the improved trowsers pockets substantially as
and for the purpose hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawing.
