A preferred embodiment is shown concealed within a small coin pocket (38) in FIG. 1,a. The small pocket's (38) tightly confined space is shown partially located within a larger pocket (40) of a pair of trousers. Dotted lines represent the flexible plastic substrate's perimeter edges, the substrate's bottle neck cap stop rim gripping aperture (30), and an elongate slot (32). Also shown is a means for fastening the flexible substrate to an interior surface of the small pocket (38), and in this preferred embodiment, the means for fastening is a cloth-piercing two part dungaree button (36). One part of the two part button cloth piercing dungaree button (36) is shown near or just behind a seam of the opening of the larger pocket (40). Also shown in FIG. 1,b is the carrier substrate of FIG. 1,a, but shown before its installation within a small pocket. Also shown is an exploded view of its means for fastening, which is a two part cloth piercing dungaree button (36). Also shown are the substrate's outer edges, a through cut slot (32), a pocket's exterior cloth surface (58), and a bottle neck cap stop rim gripping aperture (30).
In the preferred embodiment, the substrate comprises a planar and flexible polymer plastic material which can be repeatedly bent without fracturing. The flexible substrate may be of a polyethyleneterephthalate PET material, or may consist of any other material which can be repeatedly bent without fracturing, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, polystyrene, vinyl, nylon, rubber impregnated or laminated fibrous materials, and various plasticized materials, etc.
The outer four corners of the carrier are typically beveled or rounded to prevent snagging on a user's body or clothing. Through cut aperture corners are also rounded to help prevent any unnecessary tearing of the substrate.
All dimensional sizes of the substrate may vary and are interdependent on a beverage bottle's diameter located just vertically beneath its cap stop rim, and a size of a tightly confined pocket's interior area, and the substrate's elastic strength.
A substrate's thickness may vary from a few thousandths to a quarter inch thick.
In the drawings, closely related figures may have the same number, but different alphabetic suffixes.
FIG. 1,a is a front view of a preferred embodiment concealed within a small coin pocket (38) with the pocket (38) being located partially within a larger pocket (40). Shown also is a bottle neck cap stop rim gripping aperture (30), a means for fastening, and in this preferred embodiment is a dungaree button (36), and an elongate slot (32).
FIG. 1,b is an exploded front view of a preferred embodiments planar flexible substrate body, and disclosing a gripping aperture (30), an elongate through cut slot (32), and a two-part dungaree button (36). The button (36) is shown before its cloth piercing nail part is pushed through the exterior cloth of the small pocket (36), and with complete pocket not shown, and also before its piercing nail part extends through the slot, and before entering its locking and mated receiving half (36′).
FIG. 2,a is a front view of a preferred embodiment within a small coin pocket (38) and also showing an exposed bottle gripping aperture (30. The bottle gripping aperture (30) of the carrier's flexible planar plastic substrate is ready to be bent downwards for attachment over a beverage bottles (42) cap, and cap stop rim. (44). Note the elongate slot (32) and the dungaree button (36) fastening means which prevent any further exiting of the carrier from the small pocket (38).
FIG. 2,b is a front view as in FIG. 2,a, but showing a lateral squeezing of the carrier's substrate edges to distort the elongate slot (32) into a more circular shape aperture for removal past the head of the dungaree button (36) inside the pocket for removal of the carrier. A user's squeezing fingers are not shown.
Note in this drawing how there is minimal stretching of the small pocket (38) or it's seam, as the tightly confined space of the small pocket (38) defines a retaining sleeve for the carrier's substrate body, and with not enough fabric to stretch vertically downward, or possibly inside out, as there would be if the carrier were installed in a larger and less tightly confined space of the larger pocket (40).
FIG. 5,a, FIG. 5,b and FIG. 5,c are front views of alternative embodiments with differently shaped bottle neck cap stop rim gripping apertures (30). These differently shaped apertures are shown for the reader to better understand that the shape of the gripping aperture (30) is not the matter which is being disclosed.
Any one of the basic shapes shown will function as a bottle gripping aperture (30) if properly sized to a bottle's neck diameter just vertically beneath its cap stop rim, and correspondingly to a density and/or elasticity of a carrier's substrate body.
FIG. 6,a through 6,h are all line art drawings superimposed over actual photos to show as much detail as possible of a fabric's stretching or not stretching in areas at, near, and surrounding the tightly confined space of a small coin pocket.
All are front views of a preferred embodiment installed within the small coin pocket (38), and also of progressive stages of applying a carrier to a bottle (42).
In FIG. 6,a the carrier is installed within the tightly confined space of a small coin pocket (38) which is located partially within a less confined space of a larger pocket (40). Note that the entire carrier and the dungaree button means for fastening within the small pocket (38) are both concealed from the viewer.
In FIG. 6,b the opening seam of the larger pocket (40) is pulled back to expose to the viewer, the preferred means for attachment; a dungaree button (36).
In FIG. 6,c, a user is extracting the carrier from the smaller pocket (38) with only one fingernail. Note the dungaree button (36) is now partially exposed, but will re-position behind the opening seam of the larger pocket when the fabric is later relaxed.
In FIG. 6,d, a user is extracting the carrier further than needed for its application to a bottle, and with vertically upward stresses of approximately five pounds being placed on the carrier. Distortions are shown within the small pocket (38), and also distortions upon the pocket's fabric and opening seam.
Note that even here there is nominal distortion of the small pocket's (38) fabric, as there is just not enough material present to be greatly distorted. A larger and less tightly confined space pocket (40) has a better chance of turning inside out with a same amount of stress as shown. Note the position of the dungaree button (36), and how the small pocket (38) is still intact without turning inside out. Also note the distortion-free substrate material surrounding the elongate slot (32), as the tightly confined space of the small pocket (38) defines a retaining sleeve for the substrate.
In FIG. 6,e, the user is shown exerting a lateral stress upon the carrier and the small pocket's (38) seam. Note the nominal amount of fabric distortion.
In FIG. 6,f, the user is just about to apply the carrier's aperture over the bottle's cap and cap stop rim. Note the exposed dungaree button (36) which will move back into position behind the larger pockets opening seam after the bottle is applied, and after the small pocket's (38) fabric is more relaxed.
In FIG. 6,g the user has applied the carrier over the bottle's cap, but not yet fully vertically downward past the bottle's cap stop rim which is hidden from the viewer by the carrier's substrate in this drawing.
In FIG. 6,h, the user has completely applied the carrier over and past the bottle's (42) cap stop rim (44). The user is now carrying the beverage bottle hands-free.
FIG. 13,a is a front view of an alternative embodiment with a carrier's substrate having two laterally projecting appendage snubs (33) located at the substrate's most vertically lowest portion. A bottle cap stop rim gripping aperture (30) is also shown.
FIG. 13,b is a front view of the alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 13,a, but shown positioned partly within a pocket (38), and where a bottle cap stop rim gripping aperture (30) is exposed for placement over a bottle's cap stop rim. Also shown are two sewn areas (35), and which are sewn completely through two of the pocket's cloth surfaces at a location at and near each vertically uppermost corner.
The sewn areas are shown sewn adjacent two lateral edges of the substrate, and with just enough clearance for the substrate to remain vertically slideable.
FIG. 13,c is a front view of the same alternative embodiment as that in FIG. 13,b, but with the substrate located completely within the pocket and fully concealed.
The drawing shows the bottle cap stop rim gripping aperture (30), two laterally projecting appendage snubs (33) the two sewn areas (35), and the pocket (38).
FIG. 13,d is a side view of the alternative embodiment of FIG. 13,b, and shows the bottle cap stop rim gripping aperture (30), and the sewn areas (35) within the pocket (38).
FIG. 13,e is a front view of the same alternative embodiment as the vertically uppermost area of the pocket (38) and the vertically lowermost area of the substrate are simultaneously being laterally squeezed to distort the substrate just enough to pass between the two sewn areas (35) for removal of the substrate.
FIG. 14,a is a front view of an alternative embodiment with the substrate having the same laterally projecting appendage snubs (33) as in
FIG. 14,b is a front view of the art in FIG. 14,a, but shown located partially within the pocket (38), and with the bottle cap stop rim gripping aperture (30) exposed exteriorly to the pocket (38), and also the two laterally projecting appendage snubs (33), and the elongate slot (32). Shown also are three different means for fastening, and including a button (37) which is ready to be sewn to the pocket's interior, a two part cloth piercing dungaree button (37), and the two sewn areas (35). Note how the sewn areas (35) will cooperate with the laterally projecting appendage snubs (33) without obstructing either a button (37) means for fastening, or the two part cloth piercing dungaree button (36) means for fastening.
Also shown are two grommets (52) which may alternatively replace the two sewn areas (35) by a user or a manufacturer's installation. An additional thread sewn area (35) means for fastening is shown sewn through the elongate slot, where the threads sew both cloth surfaces of the pocket together. Various means for fastening which are shown in FIG. 14,b may function individually or in unison with others.
This drawing of FIG. 14,b is purposed to show a viewer how an alternative embodiment with a flexible substrate having a slot (32) and appendage snubs (33) allows a user to make their own choice of several types of means for fastening.
FIG. 15,a is a front view and partially exploded view of a flexible substrate's alternative embodiment as shown in FIG. 14,a, but with a means of fastening which consists of a cloth gripping inverted u-shape metal plate (62). The plate is shown in its planar state before its bending into a u-shape. Dotted lines within the plate represent weakened hinge lines. Also shown within the plate is an elongate slot for the flexible substrate to thread through. Also shown within the plate are several through cut v-shape apertures and bent v-shape projections which will slightly pierce a pockets stitched opening seam. A zoomed in view also shows one of these through cut v-shape apertures.
FIG. 15,b is a front view of an alternative embodiment and alternative means for fastening as that shown in FIG. 15,a, but showing the flexible substrate extending partially through the metal plate's (62) elongate slot.
FIG. 15,c is a front view of an alternative embodiment and alternative means for fastening as that shown in FIG. 15,b, and after a metal plate's (62) bending.
The plate extends vertically downward into a pocket for additional support of the plate's grip to and within the pocket.
FIG. 15,d is a front view of the alternative embodiment and alternative means for fastening shown in FIG. 15,c, but is shown within a pocket (38).
FIG. 15,e is an overhead view of an alternative means for fastening using a metal plate (62), and in a planar state before bending, and without the portion which extends completely into a pocket's interior area. Shown also are the weakened hinge lines and through cut elongate slot as was shown in FIG. 15,a. All metal plates shown in FIGS. 15,a through 15,c cooperate with the flexible substrate's laterally projecting appendage snubs (33) to restrict the substrate's exiting too far from a pocket.
FIG. 16,a and 16,b are front views of an alternative embodiment and alternative means for fastening as in
A forming of this pocket conceal-able and slide-ably accessible bottle carrier is dimensionally interdependent on two sizes; a diameter size of a bottle's neck just vertically below its bottle cap stop rim, and a dimensional size of a pocket's interior area which a carrier is to be fastened within. A resulting, but not necessarily required size of the carrier's substrate is approximately 1¾ inches by 3½ inches.
This size works well on most adult size denim pants which contain a coin pocket (38), or watch pocket which is partially located within another and larger pocket (40).
The substrate comprises a planar and flexible polymer plastic material which can be repeatedly bent without fracturing. The flexible substrate may be of a polyethyleneterephthalate or PET material, or may consist of any other material which can be repeatedly bent without fracturing, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, or a plasticized or plastic impregnated or rubber impregnated cloth, paperboard, etc. The exact size of a bottle neck cap stop rim gripping aperture (30) must also correspond with the strength and elasticity of the flexible substrate's material type chosen by a manufacturer, and a held bottle's approximate liquid weight, and the bottle's cap stop rim diameter size.
A thickness of a carrier's substrate may vary from a blow molded bottle's wall thickness, or up to ¼ inch or more, and depending on the material chosen. The carrier's substrate is elongate and planar with the bottle cap stop rim gripping aperture (30) located centeredly and near one elongate end, and an elongate slot located centeredly and near an opposite end from the gripping aperture's location. The elongate slot (32) also parallels the elongate flexible substrate's elongate direction. The width of the elongate slot (32) should be equal to or slightly more in size than any shaft of, or any cloth penetrating pin's shaft of the chosen means for fastening a carrier to an interior surface of the small pocket (38).
A carrier's substrate perimeter edge, and gripping aperture and slot may be hand cut with an exacto type knife or machine die cut, or plastic injection molded.
A preferred means for fastening is a two part cloth piercing dungaree button (36). The carrier substrate is placed within a small pocket with the substrate's elongate slot (32) being located vertically downwards from the substrate's gripping aperture (30). The cloth piercing half of the dungaree button set extends through the exterior cloth of the small pocket, and then through the elongate slot (32). A second and mated receiving half of the dungaree button set is inserted into the pocket, where it then fastens to the first and cloth piercing button half.
FIGS. 5,a, 5,b and 5,c show several different shapes of bottle gripping apertures that may be used, and are intended to make it clear to the reader that the gripping aperture shape is not what is being disclosed here. Most any aperture shape will retain a bottle just under its cap stop rim if matched accordingly with the diameter size of the bottle located just under its cap stop rim, and also matched with the substrate's material strength and elasticity. Any corner areas within a triangular shaped or square shaped bottle neck cap stop rim gripping aperture as shown in FIGS. 5,b and 5,c should be slightly rounded to prevent tearing of the surrounding substrate material. Whichever aperture shape that is chosen by a manufacturer should correspond with a flexible substrate material's strength, and especially a substrate material's limited elasticity. A more brittle plastic polymer material will require more precision in its bottle gripping aperture's size.
The carrier is concealed within the small pocket, yet is accessible for a user to grip its bottle gripping aperture (30) with one fingernail to slide the carrier vertically upward until the aperture (30) is sufficiently exposed to surround a bottle's cap and then to a location just vertically below a bottle's cap stop rim (44).
In addition to the small pocket (38) not turning inside out, the bottle carrying attachment's flexible substrate body is held in a planar position within the pocket (38) due to the lack of space within the small pocket's interior. The flexible substrate's material surrounding the elongate slot (32) has no space to buckle or distort. The elongate slot's (32) surrounding material keeps its structural integrity for remaining attached to the means for fastening, and for retaining a bottle's liquid weight.
When a user decides to completely remove or replace a carrier from within the small pocket, they may pull the flexible substrate vertically upwards as far as possible, and laterally squeeze the substrate's edges until the slot (32) distorts into a more rounded aperture to pass over the head portion of the dungaree button half which is located within the pocket. This lateral squeezing is shown in FIG. 2,b, and may be done while the pants are being worn by a user if the entire small pocket and the flexible substrate are laterally squeezed at the same time. This may be more easily accomplished when the pants are not being worn by a user.
Any other additional alternative means for fastening may require different procedures for removal and replacement of a flexible substrate body, and with some being able to be removed in a faster time, and with some taking slightly longer to remove and replace.
A carrier will remain in a pocket through countless machine washings, as there are no extreme stresses placed on a pocket held carrier during regular handling, washing or drying of the pants.
All alternative embodiments disclosed will comprise at least one or more apertures, and where a first aperture is for gripping a bottle just vertically beneath its cap stop rim (44). Any additional aperture(s), if any, such as in the preferred embodiment are for retaining a means for fastening a bottle carrier's substrate body within a tightly confined space of a small pocket which defines a retaining sleeve for the bottle carrying attachment's flexible substrate body.
The flexible substrate body itself, and the defined retaining sleeve, and a means for fastening the substrate body to an interior surface of the pocket, and any, if any additional aperture(s), will cooperate with each other to retain and/or release the flexible substrate body from the means for fastening and/or the pocket.
As disclosed in FIGS. 5,a,b, and c, the first aperture for gripping a bottle does not require any special shape, but to only bear the liquid weight of a bottle being held. Any additional aperture(s), if any, need(s) to cooperate with and retain the chosen means for fastening to permit the carrier's flexible substrate to slide vertically upwards until the first bottle gripping aperture (30) is sufficiently and exteriorly exposed from the pocket (38) to access a bottle's cap stop rim (44).
Any additional aperture(s), if any, may be in a shape and size which best cooperates with the chosen means for fastening to facilitate the flexible substrate's slide-ability within the pocket, and also the flexible substrate's complete removeability from the means for fastening, and from the pocket for replacement purposes.
Any additional aperture(s) for retaining a chosen means for fastening may be in a shape of an elongate slot as in the preferred embodiment, or one or more circular shapes for threading a cord or a chain or a cloth band through.
An additional aperture may also be in an inverted duplicate shape of the first and bottle neck cap stop rim gripping aperture (30).
In the following descriptions of alternative means for fastening, a reader will understand that various means for fastening may be almost limitless in number, and any which may not be listed do not detract from the scope of this invention.
It also understood that any penetration through the flexible substrate body, or pierced hole or aperture made by a machine's sewing needle is an aperture.
References within these disclosures to a carrier being concealed within a pocket do not infer that a carrier must be totally concealed, but that the carrier may be conceal-able.
The primary goal of this invention is to take advantage of a previously inaccessible and tightly confined space of a coin or watch pocket as previously described; and wherein the defined tight space defines a retaining sleeve for securing the structural integrity of a bottle carrying attachment's thin and flexible polymer plastic substrate.
The bottle carrier should be removable and replaceable to accommodate the long life of a blue jean type of pants material, as most any moving part, and including a carrier's flexible polymer substrate may wear out eventually.
Some methods of remove-ability, such as a snap fastener button, may be quick and easy for a user to replace a carrier. Some alternative means for fastening may take more time to install or disengage or replace a carrier; such as an initial sewing of a button, or re-threading of a cord or chain, or unscrewing a two-part threaded fastener, or removing and re-sewing a band of cloth or sewn threads.
An alternative embodiment is shown in
Note where the snap fastening means (34) makes use of both cloth surfaces (58) of the small pocket (38).
An alternative embodiment is also shown in
The purpose of inverting and duplicating the first and bottle gripping aperture is to make it easier for a user who installs the carrier. Using the thin and cloth piercing shaft of the threaded fastener (60) in combination with a larger aperture requires less precision in positioning and installing the fastening means. A user may also easily unscrew and reposition if necessary. When a user notices a first aperture getting a little worn from being constantly forced over a bottle's cap and cap stop rim, they may remove and vertically invert the carrier, and reinsert into the pocket to almost double the life of a carrier.

An alternative embodiment is shown in
In
In
In FIG. 13,a, an alternative embodiment of the flexible substrate is shown having two laterally projecting appendage snubs (33) located at the very lowermost portion of the flexible substrate. Also shown is a bottle gripping aperture (30) and located centeredly at the very uppermost and distal end of the substrate. The appendage snubs may cooperate with several types of means for fastening to slidingly retain the flexible substrate within a pocket. A single appendage snub will also retain the flexible substrate, and may include various shapes such as a hooked shape to enable increased retension of the flexible substrate as the snub cooperates with a fastening means. Artwork could be infinite, and so is not shown.
FIG. 13,b shows the same art of FIG. 13,a, but is shown within a small pocket (38), and also with two thread sewn areas (35) which restrict the flexible substrate from exiting the pocket any further than it already has. The small pocket's tightly confined space defines a tight retaining sleeve to prevent buckling and distortion of the flexible substrate, and any further exiting from the pocket (38). The flexible substrate, the pocket, and the sewn means for fastening (35) are all cooperating together to retain the substrate. When a user needs to remove or replace this one apertured embodiment, the pocket and the substrate are simultaneously and laterally squeezed for distortion of the flexible substrate to pass between the two thread sewn areas. This action is shown in FIG. 13,e. FIG. 13,c shows the flexible substrate of this embodiment completely concealed within the pocket. FIG. 13,d is a side view of the same embodiment, and showing a thread sewn area, and with the bottle gripping aperture fully exposed.
In FIG. 14,a, an alternative embodiment is shown comprising the laterally projecting appendage snubs (33), the bottle gripping aperture (30), and an elongate slot (32) which parallels the elongate direction of the flexible substrate. The purpose of this combination of slot and snubs is to give a user more choices in using different fastening means, and is shown in FIG. 14,b. If a parent does not want their child using a sharp pointed tack fastener of the dungaree button (36), they may choose to sew two thread sewn areas (35), or to sew a button (37) within the pocket (38). An additional thread sewn (35) means for fastening is shown in FIG. 14,b with the threads sewn through the elongate slot, where the threads sew both cloth surfaces of the pocket together. This alternative means for fastening may take longer to replace a worn out flexible substrate, but may be preferred by mothers of young children.
Another means shown is two grommets (52) or eyelets, and which may be installed where the thread sewn areas would normally be. The grommets (52) would be inserted through both cloth surfaces of the pocket to engage the appendage snubs (33) as a flexible substrate is pulled vertically upward.
Also shown in FIG. 15,a is an alternative embodiment as shown in FIG. 14,a, and with a same shape of flexible substrate, but with a means of fastening which consists of a cloth gripping inverted u-shape metal plate (62). The plate is shown in its planar state before its bending into a u-shape. Dotted lines within the plate represent weakened hinge or bend lines. An elongate slot is also shown within the metal plate for the flexible substrate to thread through. Also shown within the plate are several through cut v-shape apertures and bent v-shape projections which will slightly pierce a pockets stitched opening seam. A zoomed in view also shows one of these through cut v-shape apertures. With this embodiment, a user does have to squeeze the lower area of the pocket, and laterally wiggle the flexible substrate vertically upwards until it emerges through the slot within the metal plate. The plate is shown in FIG. 15,b with the flexible substrate partially extending through the metal plate's (62) elongate slot, and with the plate still in a flat state before its manufactured bending process. FIG. 15,c shows the same configurement of FIG. 15,b, but after the plate's bending. FIG. 15,d shows the same configurement of 15,c, but after the metal plate and the flexible substrate have been inserted into a small pocket, where the plate extends completely downward into the pocket for additional support of the plate's grip to and within the pocket.
FIG. 15,e is an overhead view of an alternative means for fastening using a smaller sized metal plate (62), without the larger reinforcing portion which extends downward into the pocket. It is also shown in a planar state before bending. Note the area where there are no through cut cloth piercing projections, so as not to impede a flexible substrate's vertical slide-ability. Also shown, are the weakened hinge bending lines and through cut elongate slot as was shown in FIG. 15,a. All metal plates shown in FIGS. 15,a through 15,e cooperate with the flexible substrate's laterally projecting appendage snubs (33) and the pocket's defined retaining sleeve to restrict the substrate's exiting too far from a pocket.
It will be understood by the reader that multiple means for fastening may be used either individually or cooperatively in unison, and any means for fastening which may not have been disclosed shall not detract from the scope of this invention, and that the primary disclosure is a retention of the structural integrity of the flexible substrate body, and which is due to a cooperation between the defined tight retaining sleeve of a pocket, and the flexible substrate body itself, and the means for fastening.
The multiplicity of alternative means for fastening which have been disclosed shall give an end user choices in their method of installation according to a user's age, and the value of the user's pants, and therefore added value to the invention.
Accordingly, the reader will see that the scope of this new concept of a removable coin pocket bottle carrier provides many advantages over previous bottle carriers which required rigid parts, straps, buckles or carabiners. This totally concealed bottle carrier is always there when a user needs it, yet is easily removed or replaced when a user chooses to.
In addition, users who weigh more than most will tend to need more hydration, and will tend to carry a larger and heavier beverage or bottle of water. When tighter fitting pants are worn, the interior space within the small pocket further restricts a buckling or distortion of the substrate's material surrounding the elongate slot, and so accordingly increases the structural integrity of most of the entire flexible substrate body.
A small pocket which is rarely used by adults, and especially those with larger fingers, becomes a practical and functional retaining sleeve for a bottle carrier which is always there when a user needs it.
An only disadvantage may be the total concealment and flexibility of the carrier; and where a user may forget about the carrier being there; or as when installed in a new pair of pants by a manufacturer, a user may never know the carrier was there.
The purposed disclosure of the previous alternatives of means for fastening is to also provide several means for an end user to attach their bottle carrying device. As some jeans cost several hundred dollars for one pair, a user would most likely choose a dungaree button instead of a hot melt glue. Yet, a user can remove the carrier attachment from one pair of jeans, and use another type of supplied fastening means for installing the same carrier attachment into another less costly pair of jeans.
The previously disclosed multiple ways for means of fastening is a valued part of this new concept of a bottle carrying attachment, and especially when sold as a kit with multiple carrier attachments and numerous supplied fastening means.
