Abstract:
A sock with a pocket in which the fabric of the sock itself is used as the primary material used in the construction of the sock compartment. The present invention contemplates a variety of embodiments, including both horizontal and vertical opening members for the pocket(s), as well as teaching a variety of means of closure, including zippers (FIG. 4), "Velcro" (. TM. ) (FIG. 5), buttons (FIG. 6), strings or ribbons (FIG. 7), and the like, or no closure (FIG. 8). The method of the present invention may be used with "off-the-shelf" socks and the like, and comprises essentially the folding over of the cuff of the sock, "sealing" the fold by sewing the folded portion to create a compartment, and providing resealable closure means to enter said compartment via the use of the "Velcro" (. TM. ), buttons, zippers, snaps or the like, with a slit (which can be reinforced) being made through the material at the closure means to provide access into the compartment. Alternatively, the pocket is fabricated during the knitting or looming process of the sock itself, resulting in further labor and time savings.
