CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to athletic jerseys, and more
specifically to back pockets for cycling jerseys and jackets.
BACKGROUND
[0003] An ability to store and/or carry items on cycling jerseys and jackets provides a
significant benefit. Standard jerseys having three pockets in the center (one in the
center and one on each side) on the lower back of a garment help the user maintain
balance. However, the size of the back of an athletic jersey is often too small to
incorporate a standard three-pocket design. For example, many women's cycling jerseys
are too narrow in the lower back portion to incorporate a standard three-pocket side-by-side
design without causing significant imbalance. When pockets are placed further towards
the sides of the jersey, the risk of an uncomfortable imbalance increases. Many cycling
jerseys with multiple pockets often do not include any mechanism for concealing smaller
pockets and/or making such pockets more aesthetically pleasing.
EP951846A2 discloses a cyclist's jersey having at least four back pockets at the lower section
of the garment.
SUMMARY
[0004] Embodiments of the present invention include a system of three pockets on the back
of a cycling jersey which looks from the back view like two pockets, but which also
includes a third centered pocket. Other embodiments of the present invention include
a system of multiple pockets, for example three pockets, on the back of a cycling
jersey which are enclosed by and/or surrounded by and/or concealed by a larger outer
pocket, which includes a double zipper closer, according to embodiments of the present
invention.
[0005] A system of pockets for an athletic garment according to embodiments of the present

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0010] Embodiments of the present invention include a system of three pockets on the back
of a cycling jersey which looks from the back view like two pockets, but which also
includes a third centered pocket.
[0011] According to embodiments of the present invention, a pocket system 100 may be added
to a garment 102, such as, for example, a cycling or running jersey. As illustrated
in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pocket system 100 includes a left pocket 110, a right pocket
120, and a center pocket 130, according to embodiments of the present invention. The
left pocket 110 includes a top edge 112, a bottom edge 114, an inner edge 116, and
an outer edge 118, according to embodiments of the present invention. Similarly, the
right pocket 120 includes a top edge 122, a bottom edge 124, an inner edge 126, and
an outer edge 128, according to embodiments of the present invention. As illustrated
in FIGS. 1 and 5, the center pocket 130 includes a top edge 132, a bottom edge 134,
and outer edges 136, 138, according to embodiments of the present invention. According
to some embodiments of the present invention, the left pocket 110 is closed along
edges 114, 116, 118 and open at the top edge 112; the right pocket 120 is closed along
edges 124, 126, 128 and open at the top edge 122, and center pocket 130 is closed
along edges 134, 136, 138 and open at the top edge 132.
[0012] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, pockets 120 and 130 are adjacent to each other at a vertical
centerline 202. The vertical centerline 202 is a virtual or imaginary line along the
garment 102 which substantially aligns with a user's spine during use. In other words,
the vertical centerline 202 extends along the horizontal midpoints of the back of
the garment 102, which also correspond with the typical location of the center of
a user's back (e.g. the user's spine). The athletic garment 102 need not include an
actual centerline, such as, for example, a stitching pattern, which corresponds with
the virtual centerline 202.
[0013] The left pocket 110 is located on the left side of the vertical centerline 202, and
the right pocket 120 is located on the right side of the vertical centerline 202,
according to embodiments of the present invention. The left and right pockets 110,
120 are in a substantially symmetrical configuration about the vertical centerline
202, according to embodiments of the present invention. In other words, the inner
edges 116, 126 and outer edges 118, 128 of each pocket 110, 120 are substantially
parallel and substantially equidistant from the vertical centerline 202. This substantially
symmetrical configuration can also exist even when one or more of the pockets 110,
120 includes an irregular shape or pattern over part of the pocket 110, 120; for example,
the substantially symmetrical configuration of pockets 110, 120 about the vertical
centerline 202 would still exist even if a notch were cut out of the upper right hand
corner of pocket 120 (but not pocket 110), or if a star pattern were cut into the
center of pocket 110 (but not pocket 120), according to embodiments of the present
invention.
[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the center pocket 130 is
substantially centered on the vertical centerline 202. In other words, the outer edges
136, 138 are substantially parallel and equidistant from the vertical centerline 202.
Such a substantial centering of the center pocket 130 on the vertical centerline 202
would exist even if the center pocket 130 were of an irregular shape, or a shape that
varied by height and/or width. In such cases, the center pocket 130 would be centered
on the vertical centerline 202 if either the area centroid of the center pocket 130
substantially coincided with the vertical centerline 202, and/or if the left side
131 and right side 133 of the top edge 132 were substantially equidistant from the
vertical centerline 202, and/or if a vertical symmetry line of the center pocket 130
substantially aligned with the vertical centerline 202, according to embodiments of
the present invention.
[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the left pocket 110 at least
partially overlaps the center pocket 130, and the right pocket 120 at least partially
overlaps the center pocket 130. In other words, when the pocket system 100 is flattened
or is in use on a user's back, at least part of the left pocket 110 and right pocket
120 is over or under the center pocket 130. According to some embodiments of the present
invention, the center pocket 130 is positioned to be between the user's back on one
side and the pockets 110, 120 on the other side. FIG. 6 illustrates a water bottle
600 placed within a center pocket 130 of a pocket system 100, according to embodiments
of the present invention. A standard-sized cycling water bottle has a diameter of
approximately 7.5cm (3 inches). According to some embodiments of the present invention,
the center pocket 130 is sized to snugly fit a standard-sized water bottle as depicted
in FIG. 6. Although the terms "left" and "right" are used herein, one of ordinary
skill in the art will appreciate that the two terms are relative to a user's vantage
point, and that either pocket 110 and/or pocket 120 may be referred to as a "left"
or "right" pocket.
[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom pocket is sewn
at the hem with a single needle stitch or overlock. The top edge 132 of the center
pocket 130 contains "invisible stitching" or overlock construction and can be with
or without top stitches, according to embodiments of the present invention. The top
edges 112,122 of the pockets 110,120 can be made with or without elastic in the fold
hem or binding finish, according to embodiments of the present invention. The interior
of the center pocket 130 is of overlock construction, and may be with or without top
stitches, according to embodiments of the present invention. The garment 102 and/or
the pocket system 100 may be constructed of a stretchable material, for example a
knit material, or may be constructed of a non-stretchable material, for example a
woven material. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rockets
110,120,130 and the garment 102 are all made of the same stretchable material. According
to the present invention, the top edge 112 forms at least a part 137 of the top edge
132, and the top edge 122 forms at least a part 139 of the top edge 132. One or more
of the bottom edges 114,124 and/or the outer edges 118,128 is rounded, according to
embodiments of the present invention. For example, the bottom edges 114, 124 may be
rounded as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
[0017] FIGS. 7-9 illustrate an alternative pocket system 700. Pocket system 700 includes
a left pocket 710 and a right pocket 720. The left and right pockets 710, 720 each
include a top edge that forms a combined top edge 722 extending across both pockets,
as shown. The left pocket also includes a bottom edge 714, an inner edge 716, and
an outer edge 718, and the right pocket also includes a bottom edge 724, an inner
edge 726, and an outer edge 728. The inner, outer, and bottom edges 714, 716, 718
are closed, as are the inner, outer, and bottom edges 724, 726, 728, while the top
edge 722 is generally open.
[0018] The outer part of top edge 722 includes elastic. The elastic holds the pockets 710,
720 closed and also holds the outer part of the top edge 722 against the jersey 702
to help conceal the center pocket 730. Elastic may be applied to the top of the left
pocket 710, the right pocket 720, and/or the center pocket 730. The pockets 710 and
720 of system 700 may also be in a substantially symmetrical configuration with respect
to each other about the vertical centerline of the jersey 702, and the pockets 710,
720 may overlap the center pocket 730 as described with respect to system 100.
[0019] A gusset 902 may be formed and/or included along the bottom edge 714 and/or 724.
The gusset 902 can be an extra piece of fabric, or an extension of the fabric out
of which the pocket 710 is made, folded on itself and attached to the jersey 702 in
order to expand the storage capacity of the pocket 710. As seen in FIG. 7, the gusset
902 is relatively imperceptible when the pockets 710, 720 are closed and with nothing
in them, but is readily able to expand to permit the pocket to accept wider items.
A closure device, such as, for example, a zipper, is incorporated into the gusset
902 to permit access to a pocket 710,720 through the bottom edge 714, 724 of the pocket
710, 720. A closure device (e.g. a zipper) is incorporated along the bottom edge 714,
724 of the pocket 710, 720 without a gusset 902, to permit bottom access to the pocket
710, 720. A gusset is incorporated inside of closure device along the bottom edges
714, 724, such that opening the closure device permits an opening and expansion of
the gusset. A closure device (e.g. a zipper) is incorporated into the top edge 722
of the pocket 710, 720 with or without a gusset 902 at the bottom edge, and the closure
device permits top access to the pocket 710, 720, 730. A closure device (e.g. a zipper)
is incorporated into or along the top edge 722 between top edge 722 and athletic garment
702.
[0020] The pocket system 700 includes elastic along the outside top edge 722 of the pockets
710, 720 and is recessed 3.8 cm (1.5 inches) from the jersey bottom hem with a gusset
902 to provide more storage. Specifically, the bottom pocket is sewn at 3.8 cm (1.5
inches) from the jersey bottom hem with an invisible top stitch. Gusset 902 is also
included on one or more pockets 710,720 to provide more storage. The top of the pockets
710,720 contains "invisible stitching" or overlock construction and can be with or
without top stitches. The outer part of the top edge 722 is made with or without elastic
in the fold hem or binding finish. The interior center pocket 730 is of overlock construction
with or without top stitches.
[0021] FIGS. 10-18 illustrate a pocket system 1000 similar to the pocket system 700 of FIGS.
7-9, but with a closure device 1002 across the top edge of the center pocket 730.
The closure device 1002 is a zipper. The zipper 1002 may be an invisible or a standard
coil zipper, for example. The closure device 1002 is a hook-and-loop closure device,
a snap closure device, a button closure device, a Ziploc®-type closure device, and/or
a slider-type closure device. FIGS. 10-13 illustrate the pocket system 1000 with the
closure device 1002 open, while FIG. 14 illustrates the pocket system 1000 with the
closure device 1002 closed. As illustrated in FIG. 18, the pocket system 1000 may
also include a gusset along the bottom edge of the pockets as shown. A closure device
(e.g. closure device 1002) may be used with the center pocket 130 of the pocket system
100 of FIGS. 1-5.
[0022] FIGS. 19 and 20 illustrate a front view of an alternative pocket system 1900. Pocket
system 1900 is similar to pocket systems 700, 1000, except the top edge 1932 opening
for the center pocket is positioned on the athletic garment above the top edge 1922
of the first and/or second pocket, such that it is visible even when the first and/or
second pockets are closed. The top edge 1932 includes a pocket closure device, such
as, for example, a zipper. Such a pocket closure device is configured to permit opening
and closure of the top of the center pocket.
[0023] FIGS. 21-25 illustrate a pocket system 2100 with three pockets 2110, 2120, and 2130
inside of a larger outer pocket 2140 . Including a larger outer pocket 2140 permits
the other inner pockets 2110, 2120, 2130 to be concealed during use. This creates
a jersey with a more aesthetic appearance, while still permitting the storage of articles
in the smaller inner pockets 2110, 2120, 2130 to be done in a manner that assists
with balance and stability. This is often not possible for existing large-pocket jerseys,
which often permit stored articles to shift from side to side and/or bunch up in a
single location.
[0024] Pocket system 2100 may be formed in a jersey 2102 or other garment. Pocket system
2100 includes a large outer pocket 2140 which includes a top edge 2142, a bottom edge
2144, an outer edge 2146 and an outer edge 2148. The bottom and outer edges 2144,
2146, and 2148 are closed, while the top edge 2142 is open as illustrated in FIGS.
21-23.
[0025] The top edge 2142 includes a closure device 2149 such as, for example, a zipper.
The closure device 2149 may be a double closure device, such as a double zipper, which
includes one zipper head on each side of the top edge 2142. Such a double zipper configuration
permits items that are taller or larger than the outer 2140 and/or inner pockets 2110,
2120, 2130 to be placed within the pocket as desired and the zippers closed up to
or near the item. For example, a tall water bottle could be placed in the center pocket
2130, and each of two zippers slid from each end of the top edge 2142 up to or near
the water bottle to help maintain its position.
[0026] According to the present invention, the inner center pocket 2130 overlaps the inner
side pockets 2110, 2120 similar to the pocket system of FIG. 1. The top edge 2142
of the outer pocket 2140 includes elastic. Based on the disclosure provided herein,
one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the various combinations of pocket
sizes, placement, closure devices, and other elements that may be used to create a
pocket system.
[0027] Various modifications and additions can be made to the exemplary embodiments discussed
without departing from the scope of the present claims. For example, while the embodiments
described above refer to particular features, the scope of this invention also includes
embodiments having different combinations of features and embodiments that do not
include all of the above described features.
