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.

Some references, which may include patents, patent applications and various publications, may be cited and discussed in the description of this disclosure. The citation and/or discussion of such references is provided merely to clarify the description of the present disclosure and is not an admission that any such reference is “prior art” to the disclosure described herein. All references cited and discussed in this specification are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties and to the same extent as if each reference was individually incorporated 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.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

First Embodiment

Referring toFIG. 1 toFIG. 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 aclothing body10, afirst pocket20, acard holder pocket30, asecond pocket40, and aninner pocket50. Thefirst pocket20 is disposed on theclothing body10 and has afirst pocket space21. Thecard holder pocket30 is disposed in thefirst pocket space21, and thecard holder pocket30 has at least one cardholder pocket space31. Thesecond pocket40 is disposed on theclothing body10 and has asecond pocket space41. Theinner pocket50 is disposed in thesecond pocket space41, and theinner pocket50 has aninner pocket space51. In this embodiment, the functional clothing C can further include awaist pocket60 and 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. 1 toFIG. 3, in this embodiment, thefirst pocket20 and thesecond pocket40 are respectively disposed on corresponding sides of theclothing body10, and theclothing body10 includes a firstouter cloth11, a firstinner cloth12, a secondouter cloth13, a secondinner cloth14, and awaist part15. The firstouter cloth11 is connected to a portion of the firstinner cloth12 so as to form thefirst pocket space21, and thecard holder pocket30 is disposed on the firstinner cloth12. The secondouter cloth13 is connected to a portion of the secondinner cloth14 so as to form thesecond pocket space41, and theinner pocket50 is disposed on the secondinner cloth14. Thewaist pocket60 is disposed at thewaist part15 and has awaist pocket space61.

In this embodiment, thefirst pocket20, thesecond pocket40, and thewaist pocket60 are inside pockets. In other words, thefirst pocket20, thesecond pocket40, and thewaist pocket60 are hidden in theclothing 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. 5, when in use, thecard holder pocket30 is suitable for storing a plurality of cards80 (such as credit cards, ID cards, ATM cards, etc.), and surface areas of the inner cardholder pocket cloth32 and the outer cardholder pocket cloths33 are about 80% to 90% of a standard card size. Therefore, each of thecards80 can be completely clamped in thecard 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 thecard holder pocket30 can 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 thecard holder pocket30 of the present disclosure is a knitted fabric with elasticity, which allows the cardholder pocket space31 to be relatively stretchable, so that the user can take thecards80 out conveniently. Moreover, thecard holder pocket30 having a stretching rate within a specific range can hold thecards80, so as to ensure that thecards80 will not easily slip out of the cardholder pocket space31.

Referring toFIG. 6, theinner pocket50 includes aninner pocket cloth52, and theinner pocket cloth52 is connected to a portion of the secondinner cloth14 so as to form theinner pocket space51. Referring toFIG. 7, in practice, theinner pocket50 can be used to store banknotes or change. In addition, thesecond pocket40 includes asecond pocket bottom42, and theinner pocket50 is spaced apart from the second pocket bottom42 (preferably, a distance between theinner pocket50 and thesecond pocket bottom42 is about 2 to 15 cm). In other words, during use, items in thesecond pocket40 will not completely overlap with the cards in theinner pocket50, so as to prevent thesecond pocket40 from bulging and affecting the aesthetic appearance.

Second Embodiment

Referring toFIG. 8 toFIG. 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 aclothing body10 of the second embodiment includes a firstouter cloth11 and a secondouter cloth13. The firstouter cloth11 is connected to a portion of theclothing body10 so as to form afirst pocket space21, and acard holder pocket30 is disposed on theclothing body10. The secondouter cloth13 is connected to another portion of theclothing body10 so as to form asecond pocket space41, and aninner pocket50 is disposed on theclothing body10. In this embodiment, thefirst pocket20 and thesecond pocket40 are outside pockets. That is to say, thefirst pocket20 and thesecond pocket40 are shown on theclothing body10. It should be noted that in this embodiment, an inner cardholder pocket cloth32 of thecard holder pocket30 is connected to a portion of theclothing body10 to form an inner cardholder pocket space31, and aninner pocket cloth52 of theinner pocket50 is connected with another portion of theclothing body10 to form aninner pocket space51.
