Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Gloves have been used in society for a very long time. Used to protect the hands, and to improve one's grip. Traditional gloves have fingers and fingerless gloves have been around for quite some time as have wallets. Generally, there are two types of gloves. One type envelops all portions of the hand including the fingers and the palm, and the other is the fingerless glove adapted to envelop the palm portion of the hand and the lower parts of the fingers while allowing the tips of the fingers to be exposed. Wallets also, are generally designed to carry Identification cards, credit cards and money. Wallets are designed in various sizes, giving them a capacity to carry less or more items; (credit cards, money, pictures, and sometimes a key). Cell phone cases consist of two basic types; one that is clipped to you and the other that must be carried; carried in your hand, or other carrying device; pocket, purse, backpack, etc. Cases/covers also serve to protect your cell phone from scratches and dents and greatly vary as to how you phone will hold up if dropped.

The present invention relates to an improvement in all mentioned above; the glove, the wallet and the cell phone case/cover. Merging these three items into one unit, that protects your phone, keeps your Identification, credit cards and money together, frees up your hand to do what you want and alleviates the need for cell phone belt clips cases and covers, wallets, pockets, purses, and backpack or other devices to carry your cell phone, Identification, credit cards and money.

The Pocket Glove expands itself into the cell phone case/cover industry, the accessory wallet/purse industry and the glove industry.

Conventional cell phone cases/covers are used with a clip-on mechanism to attach the case on one's waist the alternative to this, is to carry the cell phone in the palm of one's hand, in a front or back pocket or in objects such as backpack, purse, briefcase, etc. This is problematic as the clip-on mechanism requires wearing a belt or somehow clipping it to clothing and risk tearing them. Additionally, all cell phone cases/covers are not equal in their ability to protect your phone if dropped while carrying it in your hand.

Carrying your phone in your hand, pockets, or other carrying objects (purse, backpack, etc.) are all associated with high statistics in phone losses, phone thefts and phone damages due to being dropped. People habitually lay their phone down in public places, subsequently they are lost or stolen. Phones are lost or damaged when they fall out of back pockets and when placed in carrying devices (purse, backpack, etc.,) there is a greater risk of lost due to theft including pockets being picked.

Traditionally wallets have been associated with men who carry them in their pocket, women who carry them in a purse; and then those persons who carry wallets in backpacks, briefcases, etc. wallets are used to carry mainly Identification, credit cards and money. The contents of the wallet and how it is used/carried result in losses due to (pockets picked, purses/backpack stolen and or lost).

Another common problem with phones and wallets is accessibility. Quick access is limited to the body position (standing or sitting) when phones and wallets are placed in pockets. Quick access is dependent on the size of the object (purse, backpack, etc.) used to carry the cell phone or wallet as well as the number of other items being carried.

The pocket glove provides a solution to the problems mentioned above. It is a gender-neutral device for carrying wallet items (identification, credit cards and money) and cell phone. It alleviates losing phone or wallet due to theft (pockets picked, purse backpack, other carrying device stolen). It does not require a phone case/cover, no belt, and no clothing to clip to and risk tearing. It does not require pockets and thus there is no fear of phone or wallet falling out of pockets or being stolen from pockets. No losses due to habitually laying phone down in public places and forgetting it/leaving it behind or it being stolen. No damages due to dropping phone while carrying it around in your hand and especially when trying to do other things with your hand. Easy access no searching in a backpack, purse, or trying to get it out of pocket.

The pocket is attached on the dorsal side of the hand and is suitable for securing items in the pocket. The pocket when used to carry android or iPhone provides a secure carrying device with accessibility for phone usage while contained in the pocket. Used as a hand wallet it provides a gender-neutral device for carrying wallet items (identification, credit cards and money). Breathable material, light weight. Material is such that there is phone visibility, can see phone Apps.

The glove can be with or without fingers and with a full palm coverage or partial palm coverage. The glove's pocket can be made with fabric or vinyl to partially expose the contents in the pocket or to fully expose the contents in the pocket. The pocket allows the user to carry things without limiting the use of their hand. The items in the pocket can be secured with a closure device such as a zipper, snaps, Velcro or other closing mechanisms.

Pocket glove allows users to perform various daily activities and sports and entertainment type activities; hike, ride bicycle, exercise, dance, grip, carry things, use crutches, walker, perform many work-related tasks all while the phone and wallet items are in the pocket glove. The glove has options which are for aesthetic purposes, it can be produced as fingerless or with fingers, with palm partially exposed or palm enclosed. Pocket is used to carry wallet items; identification, credit cards, money and android or iPhone with quick access. The Mobile Pocket Glove is a Non-gender Hand Wallet.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The pocket glove of the present invention is suitable for mobile phone devices; android and iPhone and provides a hand wallet for small personal objects (identification, credit cards, money, etc.).

FIG. 1 shows the pocket design constructed of a mesh fabric with a mechanism for opening and closing the pocket. The construction of the pocket made of fabric or another material type is important for functionality; when the intended use is for carrying a mobile device. For phone accessibility and visual fabrics/materials that are light weight and provide some transparency are the objective. However, the pocket fabric/material type is not critical and other materials of various weights and lessor transparency may be used when the glove purpose is intended to be a discreet carrying device; for mobile phone with no functionality or when intended to carry personal items such as identification, credit cards, etc. as a hand wallet. Embodiment 10 illustrates the actual fabric/material that is the pocket when it is attached to the glove, it is shown as a spacer mesh fabric, but other fabric and materials may be used for phone functionality and visibility, additionally other fabrics/materials would be used when the intention is to provide a pocket with less visibility and no functionality for purposes of a discreet hand wallet. Embodiment 15 illustrates the mechanism for closing the pocket, it is shown as a zipper, however this too can be substituted with other devices to achieve closure; such as snaps, Velcro, etc. FIG. 2 is the dorsal side of the fingerless glove version with attached pocket. Embodiment 20 illustrates the dorsal side of a glove with the pocket attached. The glove in this illustration is constructed with a polyester fabric and it is a fingerless glove. However, the fabric used may be changed, and another glove option can include fully enclosed fingers. FIG. 3 provides another view of the glove, specifically the palm side of the glove. Embodiment 20 illustrates the palm side of the glove, in this illustration it is fingerless and the palm less (the palm is cut out). Again, the option exists to not cut out the palm and to also have the glove provide fully enclosed. Embodiment 20 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is the glove design made of a polyester fabric with stretch ability properties, intended for comfort, and ability to maintain its shape. The glove construction fabric can be dictated by the intended season and or intended use. For warmth the glove would be made with a heavier fabric material and the options to be completely full enclosed; thus, it would not be fingerless or palm less.
