Description

BACKGROUND

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to handkerchief holder systems, and more specifically to handkerchief holder system that allows a handkerchief to be placed inside the holder and to be taken out of the holder with ease.

2. Description of Related Art

Handkerchief holder systems are well known in the art and are effective means to protect a handkerchief from becoming soiled. Commonly in the art, handkerchief holder systems are also used to secure a handkerchief in place, such as in the breast pocket of men's jackets, so that the handkerchief is displayed as a decorative accessory.

One of the problems commonly associated with current handkerchief holder systems is the difficulty in preventing the handkerchief from displacing within the system, causing the handkerchief to slip within the garment pocket or to slip out of the garment pocket. Additionally, current handkerchief holder systems do not provide an uncomplicated way to insert the handkerchief in place or taking the handkerchief out.

Accordingly, although great strides have been made in the area of handkerchief holder systems, many shortcomings remain.

It will be appreciated that system 101 overcomes one or more of the above-listed problems commonly associated with conventional handkerchief holder systems.

In the contemplated embodiment, system 101 includes a body 103 comprising one or more snap fasteners 105 and an overhanging edge 107. The body 103 has a rectangular shape with two adjoining sides connected, creating a cavity which holds a handkerchief. The third side of the body 103 incorporates one or more fasteners 105 which holds the handkerchief in place. The fourth side of the body 103 contains the overhanging edge which allows system 101 to rest over the breast pocket of a men's coat, jacket, and the like.

In a preferred embodiment, system 101 includes a body 103 measuring 3.25-inches wide, 3-inches in height, and 0.125-inches in depth. System 101 also incorporates three snap fasteners 105 on the left side of the body 103, having the first snap fastener 0.25-inches from the top, the second snap fastener 1.5-inches from the top, and the third snap fastener 2.5-inches from the top. All three snap fasteners 105 measure 0.25-inches from the left side of the body 103. Furthermore, system 101 includes the overhanging edge 107 measuring to be 0.125-inches.

It is also contemplated and will be appreciated that the body 103 comprises of durable plastic or other suitable material that allows system 101 to blend in with a plurality of colors of men's coat, jacket, and the like.

It should also be appreciated that one of the unique features believed characteristic of the present application is that it prevents a handkerchief from shifting within a garment pocket or displacing out of a garment pocket and allows a user to place a handkerchief within the system quickly and easily.
