US20170215499A1 - Scarf and Pocket Combination Assembly - Google Patents

A scarf and pocket combination assembly includes a cloth panel having an upper edge, a lower edge, a first end edge, a second end edge, a first side and a second side. The panel is elongated from the first end edge to the second end edge. A pocket is attached to the panel. The pocket has an opening therein to access an interior of the pocket. A closure is mounted on the pocket and is positioned in an engaged condition closing the opening or a disengaged condition allowing access through the opening.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

• Field of the Disclosure

• The disclosure relates to scarf devices and more particularly pertains to a new scarf device for holding small personal articles.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

• An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a cloth panel having an upper edge, a lower edge, a first end edge, a second end edge, a first side and a second side. The panel is elongated from the first end edge to the second end edge. A pocket is attached to the panel. The pocket has an opening therein to access an interior of the pocket. A closure is mounted on the pocket and is positioned in an engaged condition closing the opening or a disengaged condition allowing access through the opening.

• There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

• The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

• With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to

  FIGS. 1 through 6

  thereof, a new scarf device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the

  reference numeral

  10 will be described.

• As best illustrated in

  FIGS. 1 through 6

  , the scarf and

  pocket combination assembly

  10 generally includes a

  panel

  12 comprising a cloth material. The cloth material may be any conventional material used for a scarf including cotton, wool, silk and synthetic materials. The

  panel

  12 has an

  upper edge

  14, a

  lower edge

  16, a

  first end edge

  18, a

  second end edge

  20, a

  first side

  22 and a

  second side

  24. The

  panel

  12 is elongated from the

  first end edge

  18 to the

  second end edge

  20 and in particular the

  panel

  12 may have a length from the

  first end edge

  18 to the

  second end edge

  20 that is between 2.0 feet and 4.0 feet. The

  panel

  12 will typically have a height from

  lower edge

  16 to the

  upper edge

  14 typically between 6.0 inches and 18.0 inches.

• A

  pocket

  26 is attached to the

  panel

  12. The

  pocket

  26 has an opening 28 therein to access an interior of the

  pocket

  26. The

  pocket

  26 is positioned on the

  first side

  22 of the

  panel

  12 and is spaced from each of the first 18 and second 20 end edges. More particularly the

  pocket

  28 may be equally spaced from each of the first 18 and second 20 end edge. The opening 28 is directed toward the

  upper edge

  14. The

  pocket

  26 will generally have an interior height and width each being between 3.0 inches and 8.0 inches. A

  closure

  30 is mounted on the

  pocket

  26 and is positioned in an engaged condition closing the opening 28 or a disengaged condition allowing access through the opening 28. As shown in the Figures, the

  closure

  30 may comprise a hook and loop closure. However, the

  closure

  30 may instead comprise a zipper, buttons and the like.

• A coupler may 32, 34 be used to releasably couple the

  first end edge

  18 to the

  second end edge

  20 such that the

  panel

  12 forms a closed loop. The

  coupler

  32, 34 may include a hook and loop coupler, zipper, buttons and the like. Alternatively, a resiliently

  stretchable strap

  36 may be attached to and extend between the first 18 and second 20 end edges such that the

  strap

  36 and the

  panel

  12 form a closed loop.

• In use, the

  panel

  12 is worn around a person's neck in a manner similar to using a conventional scarf. However, the user of the

  assembly

  10 may use the

  pocket

  26 for holding small

  personal articles

  38 such as cellular phones, music players, money, keys and the like. The

  closure

  30 is used to prevent the

  article

  38 held within the

  pocket

  26 from falling out of the

  pocket

  26.

• With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

• Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
