ABSTRACT:
A repair patch for worn or damaged garment pockets in accordance with this invention comprises a pocket-like member corresponding substantially in size and configuration to the lowermost portion of a pocket to be repaired. Substantially the entire outer surfaces of the repair patch contains a heat sensitive glue capable of being activated at such time as the patch has been inserted into the lowermost portion of the pocket to be repaired. The heat sensitive glue, when activated by heat and pressure applied from the exterior of the pocket, serves to retain the patch securely in position within the lowermost portion of the pocket. Significantly, the patch has an interiorly-turned seam, which seam is reinforced by the glue that had been applied to the exterior surfaces of the patch. The glue-reinforced seam is disposed along an interior outer edge of the patch, such positioning of the seam having been achieved by turning the patch inside out after the seam had been created. The repair patch can be configured so as to be generally triangularly-shaped or rectangularly-shaped, so as to be of appropriate size and configuration for the pocket to be patched.
