DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to t-shirts/sport shirt and similar types of garments. More specifically, it relates to a small sleeve for holding for example the arm of an eyewear in a manner so that they cannot accidentally fall out.
2. Description of the Prior Art
U.S. Pat. No. 20140215763 A1 Apparel with Article Holding Loop Devices are disclosed relating
to two separate embodiments. The first device is an apparel with article holding loop attached to a
shirt and the second device is an apparel with article holding loop attached to a pocket that is
attached to a shirt. A user inserts a left or right tempie piece of eyewear through the holding loop.
When a user bends over into a horizontal position, the eyewear pivots on the holding loop to
enable the eyewear to remain vertical and not fail off.
The above invention differs from the present invention because the eyewear arm slides into a
horizontal slit and rests in a sleeve.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,903,928 by Hyung-Seob titled, Device for hanging spectacles on garment, it
describes a device for hanging a pair of spectacles on a garment is disclosed. The device has a
specifically designed hanging means, which is formed on a garment and is used for allowing a
user to easily, conveniently and safely hang spectacles on the garment when taking off the
spectacles. The spectacle hanging means is formed at one or more of the neck, breast, pocket,
and button-down openings of a garment and selectively holds an arm of the spectacles so as to
hang the spectacles on the garment. The hanging device thus allows a user to easily and safely
keep spectacles on the garment when taking off the spectacles.
The above invention differs from the present invention because the eyewear arm the eyewear
slides into a horizontal slit and rests in a sleeve.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,896,377 by Ferdi titled, Garment having an integral hanger for eyeglasses,
describes an integral strip of fabric fastened at both ends to the front of a garment adapted to form a horizontally extending eyeglass hanger strip and cooperative with said garment to define a temple receiving opening for a pair of glasses.
The above invention differs from the present invention because the former is simply a strip of fabric to hold eyewear that is fastened at the distal ends and prone to tearing off, whereas the present invention, the eyewear arm slides into a horizontal slit and rests in a sleeve.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the present invention has been designed specifically to solve the problems present in the prior art as described herein. The main object of the present invention was to design a more stylist holder for example eyewear that would not tear off under adverse force conditions. When a user bends over such that the eyewear does not fall out of the t-shirt/sport shirt.
The present invention with the horizontal slit design in the front panel and the sleeve abut to the interior portion of the front panel making it not visible meets the needs.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a front view of a t-shirt/sport shirt incorporating the horizontal slit.
FIG. 2 is a front view of a t-shirt/sport shirt with the horizontal slit having for example eyewear's arm within.
FIG. 3 is a front view of a t-shirt/sport shirt with the horizontal slit having for example eyewear's arm being placed there within.
FIG. 4 is a side view of a t-shirt/sport shirt with the an for example eyewear's arm sliding through the horizontal slit into the sleeve on the interior portion of the front panel of t-shirt/sport shirt.
FIG. 5 is a side view of a t-shirt/sport shirt with the horizontal slit having for example eyewear's arm within and resting in the sleeve.
FIG. 6 is a side view of a t-shirt/sport shirt with the horizontal slit coupled to the sleeve in the interior portion of the front panel of the t-shirt/sport shirt.
DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Further objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds. To the accomplishment of the above and related objects, this invention may be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings, attention being called to the fact, however, that the drawings are illustrative only.
Referring now to the drawing in greater detail, and more particularly to FIGS. 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 thereof at this time, the reference numeral 7 represents an horizontal slit, reference numeral 8 represent front panel of the t-shirt, reference numeral 9 represents sleeve in the interior portion of the front panel of the t-shirt/sport shirt, 10 reference the opening aligned to the horizontal slit, reference numeral 11 represents back portion of the sleeve, reference numeral 12 represents front portion of the sleeve and reference numeral 13 represents an eyewear's arm.
