Pocket-square-holding device
View Patent ↗An adjusting pocket-square-holding device holds a pocket square flat and secured in a clothing pocket as desired by the wearer for the duration of wear. The pocket-square-holding device's adjusting feature enables fitting in pockets of various sizes and depths, in varying configurations. The device has a top section, a lower section, and an adjustable, looped, linear spring that joins the two. The linear spring's wavy shape enables adjustments in the device's height so that the pocket square can be held at varying heights in the pocket. Under tension, the linear spring may be slid up or down to adjust the device's height.
1 . An adjustable device for holding a pocket square comprising:
a top section configured to secure a pocket square, further comprising a lower ring; and
a lower section configured to rest within a garment pocket; and
an adjustable wavy linear spring having an array of waves and troughs, connecting said top section and said lower section; wherein
said wavy linear spring passes through the lower ring of said top section as each wave compresses to pass through; and wherein
a height of the device is adjusted by sliding said linear spring to a selected position within said lower ring; and wherein
a trough of the wavy linear spring engages with said lower ring to set the height of the device.
2 . The device of claim 1 wherein:
said top section and said lower section are triangular in shape.
3 . The device of claim 1 wherein:
said top section further comprises a clasping arm pivotally attached thereto for securing the pocket square against said top section.
4 . The device of claim 3 wherein:
said clasping arm is secured in a closed position by a hook, said hook further comprising an interfering ball that prevents unintentional release of the clasping arm.
5 . The device of claim 3 wherein:
said clasping arm is attached to said top section by way of a spring coil; and
said spring coil is configured to apply tension to the clasping arm when in a closed position.
6 . The device of claim 1 wherein:
said linear spring comprises an upper loop having a dimension that is greater than an opening in said lower ring, thereby preventing detachment of said linear spring from said top section.
