MULTI-CONFIGURATION POCKET ACCESSORY
Implementations of a multi-configuration pocket accessory are provided. In some implementations, the pocket accessory comprises one of more pieces of material configured to form a pocket accessory comprising a first end, a middle portion extending from the first end, and a second end extending from the middle portion. In some implementations, the material comprising the first end has a first pre-formed shape and first pattern, and the material comprising the second end has a second pre-formed shape and second pattern. In some implementations, the pocket accessory further comprises a first magnet inside the middle portion. In some implementations, the pocket accessory further comprises external magnet.
This application claims the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 62/110,988, which was filed on Feb. 2, 2015, and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELDThis disclosure relates to implementations of multi-configuration pocket accessories.
BACKGROUNDPocket accessories, such as pocket handkerchiefs and pocket squares, for suits and sport jackets are popular. However, arranging a pocket handkerchief into a design can be time consuming and can become undone. Furthermore, a pocket handkerchief can be slip too far down into a pocket.
Implementations of pocket accessories of the present disclosure include pre-formed material having first and second sides where the sides either have (1) different shapes and different patterns/colors (see, e.g.,
In some implementations, the pocket accessory 100 further may include a magnet 130. In some implementations, the magnet 130 may be loosely secured within a bounded interior area 140 of the pocket accessory 100. In some implementations, the interior area may be bounded by stitching. In some implementations, the interior bounded area 140 may be configured such that the magnet may be moved horizontally and/or vertically. In some implementations, the magnet 130 may be used with a separate magnet 150 (see
In some implementations, the magnet 150 may be enclosed with a material. In some implementations, the material may be the same material as a portion of the pocket accessory 100. In some implementations, the material may have the same pattern/color as the first side 110 or the second side 120 of the pocket accessory 100. In some implementations, the material may have a different pattern/color as the first side 110 or the second side 120 of the pocket accessory 100.
In some implementations, the magnet 130 may be fixedly secured within the pocket accessory. In some implementations, the magnet 130 may be secured to an outer surface of the pocket accessory.
Similarly to the pocket accessory 100, in some implementations, the pocket accessory 300 further may include a magnet 330 loosely secured within a bounded interior area 340 of the pocket accessory to position and secure the pocket accessory within a pocket. In some implementations, the bound interior area 340 may be larger than the bound interior area 140.
The shapes, patterns, and color combinations of implementations of the present disclosure can be any shapes, patterns, and/or color combination. The magnets 130, 150 can be any suitable shape or size. The strength of the magnets can be any suitable strength.
The pocket accessories of the present disclosure can be any article of manufacture. The pocket accessories can be manufactured from any material such as wool, silk, cotton, nylon, polyester, acrylic, or any other suitable material.
Reference throughout this specification to “an embodiment” or “implementation” or words of similar import means that a particular described feature, structure, or characteristic is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, the phrase “in an embodiment” or a phrase of similar import in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.
Many modifications and other embodiments of the inventions set forth herein will come to mind to one skilled in the art to which these inventions pertain having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing descriptions and the associated drawings.
The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the above description, numerous specific details are provided for a thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that embodiments of the invention can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, etc. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations may not be shown or described in detail.
Claims
1. An article of manufacture comprising:
- one of more pieces of material configured to form a multi-configuration pocket accessory comprising a first end, a middle portion extending from the first end, and a second end extending from the middle portion wherein the material comprising the first end has a first pre-formed shape and first pattern and the material comprising the second end has a second pre-formed shape and second pattern.
2. The article of manufacture of claim 1 wherein the middle portion comprises a first side and a second side configured to form an opening therebetween, the article of manufacture further comprising a first magnet in the opening of the middle portion.
3. The article of manufacture of claim 1 wherein the first pre-formed shape and second pre-formed shape are different.
4. The article of manufacture of claim 3 wherein the first pre-formed pattern and second pre-formed pattern are different.
5. The article of manufacture of claim 3 wherein the first pre-formed pattern and second pre-formed pattern are the same.
6. The article of manufacture of claim 1 wherein the first pre-formed shape and second pre-formed shape are the same.
7. The article of manufacture of claim 2 further comprising an external magnet.
8. A method of wearing the pocket accessory of claim 1 comprising:
- inserting the second end into a pocket at least until the second end is concealed while a portion of the first end extends outside the pocket.
9. A method of wearing the pocket accessory of claim 7 comprising:
- inserting the second end into a pocket at least until the second end is concealed while a portion of the first end extends outside the pocket; and
- securing the pocket accessory inside the pocket using the first and second magnet.
10. A method of wearing the pocket accessory of claim 1 comprising:
- folding the pocket accessory such that the first end and second end overlap;
- inserting the folded end of pocket accessory into a pocket at least until the folded end is concealed while a portion of the first end and second end extends outside the pocket.
