Abstract

The handbag is made of a hard material and has a spherical or truncated sphere shape; its cover (2) is a portion of the sphere or a flattened portion of the sphere and is articulated to the body (1) of the handbag by means of a hinge. Tubular vertical structures (9, 10) provided inside the handbag receive different objects such as (lipsticks, small bottles, combs and so on) which are readily reachable. In the cover there is nested a mirror (15) and possibly a battery lamp (19).

Description

The invention relates to a women's bag with a bag body and a lid articulated thereon.

Women's bags come in a variety of designs. Most of the time they are made of a resilient material, such as Leather or fabric. The disadvantage of this is that because of the soft material and the resulting permanent deformation of the bag, it is impossible to maintain a certain order with regard to the objects accommodated therein. The various hygiene and cosmetic items, keys etc. are therefore not at hand and usually have to be carefully selected. There are already women's bags that always have a leather or rubber band in the form of a loop on one side wall, so that various objects, e.g. Cosmetics in which loops can be inserted. There are also suitcase-shaped women's bags, for example as make-up cases. These are made of a non-compliant material. You can e.g. made of leather and worked on a frame. Around the vertical inner wall of such a women's bag in the form of a suitcase, a rubber or leather band with a snap fastener can be arranged so that lipstick, bottles with cosmetic content, combs, etc. can be accommodated between the rubber / leather band and the wall of the bag. A disadvantage of women's bags of this type is that the individual items can only be accommodated with difficulty between the rubber / leather strap and the wall of the bag, so that there is usually also a mess in such bags. Finally, the rubber / leather straps tend to wear out, so that the individual objects are no longer held firmly.

The invention is based on the object of developing a women's bag of the type described at the outset in such a way that it has the largest possible interior space with the best possible external dimensions and that the bag is substantially improved with regard to the order to be kept therein.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the bag is made of hard or little elastic material and the bag body and the lid have a spherical shape or flattened spherical shape, the lid having the shape of a spherical cap or a correspondingly flattened spherical cap that round and / or square tubular structures running vertically in the pocket body, and that a mirror running parallel to its lower edge and optionally also a resilient holder are provided in the lid.

The expression "flattened spherical shape" is to be understood as meaning those shapes which are obtained when a spherical cap is cut from a sphere or a spherical body is compressed in one direction or in two directions running perpendicular to one another. An example of such a flattened spherical body is an ellipsoid.

The spherical or almost spherical design of the bag according to the invention results in minimal external dimensions with the largest possible interior space. In addition, such a bag, unlike the previous suitcase-shaped bags, can be carried by a lady without great difficulty, for example also to the theater. Due to the internal division according to the invention, all important objects, such as tampons, Perfume and hygiene sprayer, comb, lipstick etc., immediately at hand. In addition, the order system contained in the bag according to the invention invites when the individual items are returned to the bag to bring these items to the correct, intended place. The time required for various hygiene and cosmetic needs (embarrassment situations) is influenced favorably. In addition, unlike, for example, a rubber / leather strap with a snap fastener, the organization system according to the invention does not tend to wear out, so that it is still fully functional even after prolonged use.

Synthetic resins, but also easily deformable metals, such as e.g. Aluminum. The synthetic resin or metal body is usually covered with a decorative material. For example, it can be flocked with fibers or covered with leather, synthetic leather, furs, skins and fabrics.

Preferably the functional parts of the bag, e.g. Hinge and partition, made in resin at the same time as the bag body or the lid.

It is also preferred that the vertically extending round and / or tubular structures are formed in a vertical partition wall crossing the pocket body. This applies in particular to bags that largely approximate a spherical shape.

It is further preferred that a catch is provided between the lid and the bag body to hold the lid in the closed state of the bag. It is particularly preferred to use the catch in the area of the Provide hinge and form it so that the lid is held both in the closed position and in an open position.

In another preferred embodiment, the tubular structures extend to the bottom of the pocket, wherein foam bodies can be provided in the lower region of the tubular structures. As a result, the depth of the tubular structures for the objects to be accommodated in them can be adjusted such that they protrude from the tubular structures to such an extent that they can be easily gripped.

In a further preferred embodiment, a battery-operated lighting fixture is additionally provided in the cover, so that the wearer of the bag can put on make-up even under unfavorable lighting conditions.

When the bag is inexpensively equipped, the lipstick is clamped in the resilient holder in the lid, since it must always be particularly easy to reach. In the tubular structures on the partition, for example, a perfume sprayer, hygiene sprayer or a small tampon container, a pocket comb, a travel toothbrush, a container for mascara, a lighter, optionally another lipstick, etc. can be provided. It is also possible, in the case of smaller embodiments in which there is not enough space for a lighting fixture in the cover, to accommodate a flashlight in one of the tubular structures, which projects with its lamp part and also has a switch in this area, which, for example, is depressed by depressing the lamp part the flashlight can be operated.

An embodiment of the bag according to the invention in spherical form will now be explained in more detail with reference to the attached FIGS. 1-6.
