Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a jacket having a warm
pocket. More particularly, the present invention relates to a
jacket having a warm pocket capable of warming hands of a user
without interrupting user's activity in the field.
[0002] Some sports games, such as golf, inline skating, etc., must
be played outdoors due to their characteristics.
[0003] Particularly, in the case of golf, golfers rarely wear heavy
gloves because it is important to precisely grip the golf club.
Even in the winter season, golfers may wear thin jackets adhering
to bodies of the golfers so as to smoothly perform swing action.
Since it is necessary to simplify the thin jacket, the thin jacket
is only formed with a small pocket suitable for storing small golf
equipment, such as a tee. Thus, the golfer may not easily put their
hands in the small pocket. If the golfer plays golf while wearing a
thin golf glove in the winter season, sensibility of fingers may be
lowered, so that the golfer cannot play his/her best game.
BACKGROUND ART
[0004] In order to solve the above problem, a warming device as
shown in FIG. 50 has been suggested.
[0005] FIG. 50 is a view illustrating a conventional warming
device.
[0006] As shown in FIG. 50, the conventional warming device is a
warming glove 10 capable of receiving a user's hand 1 wearing a
golf glove 2.
[0007] The warming glove 10 is fabricated in the form of a mitten
so as to easily receive the user's hand 1 wearing the golf glove 2.
The user may put on or take off the warming glove 10 through an
opening 12 formed in the warming glove 10.
[0008] However, since the warming glove 10 must be connected to the
jacket of the user using a string, it may interrupt swing action of
the user. In addition, it is inconvenient to use the warming glove
10 because the user must hold the warming glove 10 using one hand
in order to put the other hand into the warming glove 10.
[0009] In order to solve the above problem, another warming device
as shown in FIGS. 51 and 52 has been suggested.
[0010] FIG. 51 is a perspective view illustrating another
conventional warming device and FIG. 52 is a view illustrating the
usage state of another conventional warming device.
[0011] As shown in FIG. 51, another conventional warming device is
a warming bag 20, which adheres to the waist of the user through a
waist strap 24. The warming bag 20 is formed at an inner portion
thereof with a pocket 22 extending lengthwise along the warming bag
20 while forming openings at both side end portions of the warming
bag 20 so that the user can put both hands into the pocket 22 of
the warming bag 20. In addition, an insertion portion 26 and a
receiving portion 28 of a buckle are provided at both end portions
of the waist strap 24.
[0012] As shown in FIG. 51, the user can attach the warming bag 20
having the above structure around the waist of the user's jacket 30
using the waist strap 24.
[0013] However, since the pocket 22 formed in the warming bag 20
has a cylindrical structure so as to allow the user to easily put
or pull the user's hands into or out of the pocket 22, the pocket
22 may interrupt the user's activity and the aesthetic appearance
of the warming bag 20 may be degraded. In addition, when the user
wears a coat, the user must remove and store the warming bag 20 in
a separate place, causing inconvenience of use for the warming bag
20.

[0038] The warm pocket is selectively formed on a front part or a
rear part of the jacket, or simultaneously formed on both front and
rear parts of the jacket.
[0039] The warm pocket is formed with a sewing section, which
divides the warm pocket into left and right pocket sections.
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS
[0040] As mentioned above, according to the present invention, the
warm pocket is closely coupled to the jacket, so the warm pocket
does not interrupt the user's activity in the field.
[0041] That is, the warm pocket can be formed in the jacket having
the dual-layer structure by combining the outer skin with the inner
skin, or the warm pocket can be formed in the jacket having the
single-layer or dual-layer structure by coupling the attachment
member to the inner or outer surface of the inner or outer skin of
the jacket. In addition, the warm pocket can be formed by coupling
the attachment member having a box shape to the inner or outer
surface of the inner or outer skin of the jacket. Thus, it is
possible to provide the jacket having various pockets.
[0042] In the case where the intermediate member is interposed
between the attachment member and the jacket or between the inner
skin and the outer skin of the jacket having the dual-layer
structure, the jacket can be coupled with the attachment member or
the inner skin can be coupled with the outer skin through the
intermediate member, so the sewing line may not be exposed to the
exterior so that the jacket has a simple design. In addition, an
inner pocket can be stably supported by the intermediated member
regardless of the materials of the jacket.
[0043] In addition, according to the present invention, when the
jacket has the dual-layer structure or when the attachment member
is closely coupled to the jacket, the inner skin is closely coupled
to the outer skin so that it is possible to provide the jacket
having the slim and simple structure. If a height adjustment
section is provided between the jacket and the attachment member
and between the inner and outer skins, the user can easily insert
user's hand into the warm pocket and a casual jacket can be
realized.
[0044] In particular, when the opening of the pocket is sealed by
means of a Velcro fastener or a slide fastener, the jacket may have
the structure substantially identical to that of a jacket having no
pocket. Thus, the pocket does not sag downward, so that the pocket
will not interrupt swing action of the user.
[0045] In addition, since the inner pocket formed at one side
thereof with the hand warmer receiving section is coupled to the
outer surface of the inner skin, it is possible to accommodate the
warmer in the inner pocket as required by the user. In this case,
the warming efficiency of the jacket can be improved.
[0046] Furthermore, since the inner pocket is detachably coupled to
the inner skin by means of the detachable member, the user can
selectively employ the inner pocket when the warmer is necessary,
for example, in the winter season. Thus, the structure of the
jacket can be simplified and the weight of the jacket can be
reduced.
[0047] In addition, since the inner pocket is made from a flexible
material, such as spandex, the inner pocket is adaptable for
receiving the warmer having various sizes. If the inner pocket is
made from the flexible material, the warmer can be prevented from
being unintentionally separated from the warmer receiving section
even if a separate fastening member is not provided at the inlet of
the warmer receiving section.
[0048] Meanwhile, a fastening member, such as a zipper, a button, a
Velcro fastener, or a snap, can be provided at the inlet of the
inner pocket so as to perfectly prevent the warmer from being
separated from the warmer receiving section.
[0049] In addition, if the whole inner skin or a part of the inner
skin formed with the inner pocket is made from the flexible
material, it is possible to further prevent the pocket from sagging
downward due to the weight of the warmer.
[0050] The inner skin can be divided into the front inner skin
formed at the abdominal part of the jacket and the rear inner skin
formed at the back part of the jacket while coupling the front
inner skin with the rear inner skin using a Velcro tape. In
addition, the length adjustment member, such as the elastic band,
can be coupled to the lateral portion of the inner skin. In this
case, it is possible to further prevent the pocket from sagging
downward due to the weight of the warmer.
[0051] In addition, the warmer may closely adhere to the body of
the user, so that the aesthetic appearance of the jacket may not be
deteriorated. Since the warmer closely adheres to the body of the
user, the body of the user may be warmed in addition to the hands
of the user.
[0052] Meanwhile, lateral openings having opening/closing units are
formed at lateral side sections of the jacket at which a front part
of the jacket meets a rear part of the jacket, so the user can
couple the front inner skin, the rear inner skin and a length
adjustment member with each other by putting user's hand into the
lateral openings.
[0053] According to the present invention, the sewing section can
be formed at the center portion of the warm pocket in order to
divide the warm pocket into left and right pocket parts. In this
case, the warm pocket has the structure identical to that of a
pocket generally formed in the typical jacket, so the warm pocket
may satisfy the preference of the user.
[0054] In addition, the warm pocket according to the present
invention can be formed at the front part and/or the rear part of
the jacket. Thus, when the user performs swing action, the user may
use only the warm pocket formed at the rear part of the jacket
while fastening the warm pocket formed at the front part of the
jacket using a zipper or a Velcro tape such that the warm pocket
may not interrupt the swing action of the user. In addition, the
user can use the warm pocket formed at the front part of the jacket
when the user performs other activities.
[0055] According to the present invention, a detachable member is
provided at the lower surface of the pocket having the hand warmer
therein in such a manner that the pocket can be detachably coupled
to the outer skin of the jacket. In this case, the user can
selectively use the pocket as required by the user.
[0056] In addition, according to the present invention, the inner
pocket as well as the warm pocket and the length adjustment member
can be detachably attached to the single-layered or dual-layered
jacket, so that the user can remove the inner pocket, the warm
pocket and the length adjustment member from the jacket if warming
the hands of the user is not necessary. Accordingly, the user can
wear the jacket having the simple structure without degrading the
style of dressing when warming the hands of a user is not
necessary.
[0057] Furthermore, the length adjustment member of the present
invention can be coupled to the inner surface or the outer surface
of the outer skin, the inner skin, or the warm pocket of the
dual-layered jacket, or can be coupled to the outer surface or the
inner surface of the outer skin or the warm pocket of the
single-layered jacket. Thus, the length adjustment member adheres
to the human body so that the warming efficiency can be further
improved. In addition, since the length adjustment member can be
coupled to the inner portion of the jacket, it may not degrade the
style of dressing. Also, the length adjustment member can be
coupled to the outer portion of the jacket. In this case, the
manufacturing cost of the jacket equipped with the length
adjustment member can be reduced while improving convenience of use
for the length adjustment member. That is, the length adjustment
member can be coupled to the jacket in various manners according to
the preference of the user.

inner skin 1830 and an outer skin 1810 coupled to the inner skin
1830, in which an intermediate member 1815 is interposed between
the outer skin 1810 and the inner skin 1830 of the jacket 1800.
Thus, the outer skin 1810 is coupled to the inner skin 1830 through
the intermediate member 1815.
[0216] Due to the intermediate member 1815, the sewing line may not
be exposed to the exterior so that the jacket 1800 has a simple

[0224] As shown in FIGS. 40 and 41, according to the twentieth
embodiment of the present invention, an attachable outer skin 2010a
is coupled to an outer skin 2010 of the jacket 2000 to form a warm
pocket. Different from the first embodiment, in which openings 113
are separately formed at both sides of the attachable outer skin
110a, upper and lower portions of the attachable outer skin 2010a
are coupled to the outer skin 2010 of the jacket 2000 such that
lateral portions thereof can be opened, thereby forming openings
2017.
[0225] Other elements are the same as those of the first

avoid redundancy.
Embodiment 21
[0226] Hereinafter, a jacket according to a twenty-first embodiment
of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
42 and 43.
[0227] FIG. 42 is a perspective view illustrating a jacket
according to the twenty-first embodiment of the present invention,
and FIG. 43 is a sectional view taken along line XXI-XXI shown in
FIG. 42.
[0228] As shown in FIGS. 42 and 43, the jacket 2100 according to
the twenty-first embodiment of the present invention is
substantially identical to that of the first to twentieth
embodiments of the present invention, except for a sewing section
(a) that divides the warm pocket into left and right pocket
parts.
[0229] In this case, two warmers 2140 can be accommodated in the
warm pocket, so that the warm efficiency can be improved.
Embodiment 22
[0230] Hereinafter, a jacket according to a twenty-second
embodiment of the present invention will be described with
reference to FIG. 44.
[0231] FIG. 44 is a sectional view illustrating a warm pocket of a
jacket according to the twenty-second embodiment of the present
invention.
[0232] As shown in FIG. 44, the jacket 2200 according to the
twenty-second embodiment of the present invention includes an outer
skin 2210 and an inner skin 2230, in which the inner skin 2230 is
divided into a front inner skin 2232 and a rear inner skin
2234.
[0233] Velcro fastener tapes 2235 are additionally attached to both
lateral sides of the front inner skin 2232 and the rear inner skin
2234.
[0234] By adjusting the coupling length of the Velcro fastener
tapes 2235, the diameter of the inner skin 2230 of the jacket 2200
can be adjusted suitable for a waist size of a user, improving the
wearing comport of the jacket 2200.
[0235] Meanwhile, the user can adjust the coupling length between
the front inner skin 2232 and the rear inner skin 2234 by putting
the user's hand into openings 2212 of the warm pocket. Otherwise,
the user can adjust the coupling length between the front inner
skin 2232 and the rear inner skin 2234 by putting the user's hand
into lateral openings 2250 formed at lateral side sections located
between the front and rear parts of the jacket 2200.
[0236] In particular, if the warm pocket is formed only in the back
part of the jacket, the user can readily adjust the diameter of the
inner skin of the jacket through the lateral opening.
[0237] The lateral opening 2250 is formed at a lateral side of the
jacket where the front part of the jacket meets the rear part of
the jacket and is equipped with an opening/closing unit, such as a
slide fastener. Thus, when the lateral opening 2250 is not used,
the lateral opening 2250 is closed by means of the opening/closing
unit, so that the jacket can be simply and neatly maintained.
[0238] The structure of the inner skin according to the
twenty-second embodiment of the present invention is applicable for
the jacket including both the outer skin and the inner skin.
Embodiment 23
[0239] Hereinafter, a jacket according to a twenty-third embodiment
of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
45.
[0240] FIG. 45 is a sectional view illustrating a warm pocket of a

invention.
[0241] As shown in FIG. 45, the jacket 2300 according to the
twenty-third embodiment of the present invention includes an inner
skin 2330, a part of which is divided into a front inner skin 2332
and a rear inner skin 2334. Velcro fastener tapes 2335 are attached
to both lateral sides of the front inner skin 2332 and the rear
inner skin 2334.
[0242] That is, different from the twenty-second embodiment, only a
part of the inner skin 2330 is divided into the front inner skin
2332 and the rear inner skin 2334, so that a lateral opening 2350
is formed only at one side of an outer skin 2310 of the jacket
2300.
[0243] The structure of the inner skin according to the
twenty-third embodiment of the present invention is applicable for
the jacket including both the outer skin and the inner skin.
Embodiment 24
[0244] Hereinafter, a jacket according to a twenty-fourth
embodiment of the present invention will be described with
reference to FIG. 46.
[0245] FIG. 46 is a sectional view illustrating a warm pocket of a
jacket according to the twenty-fourth embodiment of the present
invention.
[0246] As shown in FIG. 46, the jacket 2400 according to the
twenty-fourth embodiment of the present invention includes a length
adjustment member 2460 coupled to an inner skin 2430 of the jacket
2400.
[0247] The length adjustment member 2460 is formed at both sides
thereof with Velcro fastener tapes 2462 and can be integrally
formed with the inner skin 2430 of the jacket 2400. According to
this embodiment, the length adjustment member 2460 is detachably
coupled to the inner skin 2430 of the jacket 2400.
[0248] In addition, the jacket 2200 can be adjusted suitable for
the body of the user by adjusting the coupling length of the Velcro
fastener tapes 2462. Although the present invention shows the
length adjustment member 2460 coupled to the inner skin 2430 of the
jacket 2400 by means of the Velcro fastener tapes 2462, the present
invention is not limited thereto. For instance, buttons can be used
instead of the Velcro fastener tapes 2462, or one end of the length
adjustment member 2460 can be sewed to the inner skin 2430.
[0249] Thus, the jacket 2400 according to the twenty-fourth
embodiment of the present invention represents superior wearing
comport.
[0250] In addition, although this embodiment has been described in
that the length adjustment member 2460 is additionally coupled to
an inner portion of the inner skin 2430 of the jacket 2400, the
present invention is not limited thereto. According to another
embodiment of the present invention, the length adjustment member
can be additionally coupled to one of an outer surface of the outer
skin, an inner surface of the outer skin, and an outer surface of
the inner skin of the jacket to closely apply the warm pocket
around the waist of the user.
[0251] That is, the length adjustment member can be applied to the
jacket having the dual-layer structure or the single-layer
structure. In the case of the jacket having the dual-layer
structure, the length adjustment member can be selectively coupled
to an inner or an outer surface of the inner skin or the outer
skin, or the warm pocket. In the case of the jacket having the
single-layer structure, the length adjustment member can be
selectively coupled to an inner or an outer surface of the jacket,
or the warm pocket.
Embodiment 25
[0252] Hereinafter, a jacket according to a twenty-fifth embodiment
of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
47.
[0253] FIG. 47 is a perspective view illustrating a jacket
according to the twenty-fifth embodiment of the present
invention.
[0254] As shown in FIG. 47, the jacket 2500 according to the
twenty-fifth embodiment of the present invention includes an
elastic band 2560 coupled to an inner skin of the jacket 2500.
[0255] The elastic band 2560 is a length adjustment member capable
of adjusting a length thereof and both ends of the elastic band
2560 are connected to the inner skin of the jacket 2500, so that
the elastic band 2560 can be adjusted suitable for the body of the
user and can improve the wearing comport. In addition, since the
elastic band 2560 is connected to the inner skin of the jacket
2500, the elastic band 2560 is not exposed to the exterior, so that
the outer appearance of the jacket is not deteriorated. Thus, the
inner skin closely adheres to the body of the user and the outer
skin is naturally exposed to the exterior.
[0256] Meanwhile, although the present embodiment has been
described in that the elastic band 2560 is additionally coupled to
the inner skin 2530 of the jacket 2500, the present invention is
not limited thereto. According to another embodiment of the present
invention, the length adjustment member can be additionally coupled
to one of an outer surface of the outer skin, an inner surface of
the outer skin, and an outer surface of the inner skin of the
jacket to closely apply the warm pocket around the waist of the
user.
Embodiment 26
[0257] Hereinafter, a jacket according to a twenty-sixth embodiment
of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
48.
[0258] FIG. 48 is a partially exploded perspective view
illustrating a warm pocket of a jacket according to the
twenty-sixth embodiment of the present invention.
[0259] As shown in FIG. 48, in the jacket 2600 according to the
twenty-sixth embodiment of the present invention, an inner pocket
2620 and an attachable outer skin 2610a are detachably attached to
an outer skin 2610 of the jacket 2600 by means of Velcro devices
2618 and 2628, respectively, so as to form the warm pocket.
[0260] According to the twenty-sixth embodiment of the present
invention, not only the inner pocket 2620, but also the warm pocket
can be removed from the jacket 2600 when the warmer is not used.
Thus, the user can conveniently use the jacket 2600 as a normal
golf suit when the warmer is not necessary.
[0261] Meanwhile, although the present embodiment has been
described in that the inner pocket and the attachable member are
detachably coupled to the outer skin 2710 of the jacket to form the
warm pocket, the present invention is applicable for various
jackets having the warm pocket formed by the attachable member. In
addition, slide fasteners, buttons, or adhesion tapes can be used
instead of the Velcro tapes.
[0262] In addition, it is also possible to detachably couple the
inner pocket only.
[0263] That is, the structure according to the twenty-sixth
embodiment of the present invention is applicable for the jacket
having a single-layer structure or a dual-layer structure including
the inner skin and the outer skin. In this case, the warm pocket
can be detachably coupled to the jacket.
[0264] That is, in the case where the jacket has the single-layer
structure, an attachable outer skin or an attachable inner skin is
coupled to an outer surface or an inner surface of the jacket to
form the warm pocket. At this time, the attachable outer skin or
the attachable inner skin can be detachably coupled to the jacket
by means of a Velcro tape or a fastener tape.
[0265] In addition, in the jacket having the single-layer structure
or the dual-layer structure including the outer skin and the inner
skin, the warm pocket is formed by coupling a pocket member
including a pocket inner skin and a pocket outer skin to the outer
skin of the jacket. At this time, the pocket member is detachably
coupled to the jacket by means of the above coupling unit. Thus,
the warm pockets having various structures, such as the
single-layer structure or the dual-layer structure, can be
detachably coupled to the jacket.
Embodiment 27
[0266] Hereinafter, a jacket according to a twenty-seventh
embodiment of the present invention will be described with
reference to FIG. 49.
[0267] FIG. 49 is a front view showing a jacket according to the
twenty-seventh embodiment of the present invention.
[0268] As shown in FIG. 49, the jacket 2700 according to the
twenty-seventh embodiment of the present invention includes a slide
fastener 2719 which is applied to an opening as a fastening unit.
However, the present invention is not limited thereto, but a button
or a Velcro tape can be used instead of the slide 2719.
[0269] According to the twenty-seventh embodiment of the present
invention, the warm pocket of the jacket 2700 can be sealed, so
that the aesthetic appearance of the jacket 2700 can be improved
and the warming efficiency of the warming pocket can be
enhanced.
[0270] The fastening unit of the twenty-seventh embodiment of the
present invention is applicable for first to twenty-sixth
embodiments of the present invention.
Other Embodiments
[0271] Although embodiments 1 to 27 have been described, the
present invention is not limited thereto, but can be embodied by
combining at least one of the above embodiments as described
below.
[0272] Preferably, the whole inner skin or a part of the inner skin
of the jacket, the warm pocket, or the inner pocket is made from a
flexible material to accommodate warmers having various sizes
therein.
[0273] In addition, the opening port formed in the inner pocket to
receive the warmer can be equipped with a fastening member, such as
a Velcro tape or a slide fastener, so as to prevent the warmer from
unintentionally coming out of the inner pocket.
[0274] The fastening member includes, but not exclusively, a slide
fastener, a Velcro fastener, a button, or a clip.
[0275] If the warmer is put into the inner pocket, the warmer is
located between the inner pocket and the inner skin. In addition,
since the inner skin is made from a flexible member, heat generated
from the warmer can be effectively transferred to the body of the
user.
[0276] In addition, since the inner pocket is coupled to the inner
skin, the inner pocket may not exert a bad influence upon the outer
skin even if the inner pocket sags downward due to the weight of
the warmer accommodated therein, so the aesthetic appearance or the
wearing comport of the jacket may not be deteriorated.
[0277] In addition, the warm pocket can be selectively formed on
the front part or the rear part of the jacket, or can be
simultaneously formed on both the front and rear parts of the
jacket, and a sewing section can be provided at the center of the
warm pocket to divide the warm pocket into left and right pocket
parts.
