Definitions

  • This invention relates to various types of carrying bags and, more particularly, to security panel assemblies and methods of forming the same for such bags.
  • the present invention relates to a handbag, purse, travel bag or the like which incorporates construction features designed to preclude access to the interior of the bag by cutting though the sides of the bag.
  • Handbags, travel bags, purses and the like are often made from flexible materials such as cloth, canvas, leather and similar materials.
  • Such bags typically include one or more interior chambers through which access may be gained by an opening in the top or side of the bag.
  • Such bags also often include a car strap which is typically connected between opposite sides of the bag. Additionally, such bags often also include multiple side pockets with side access openings.
  • WO 2010/111 434 A1 discloses a security handbag with an interior security panel assembly comprising a matrix of wires.
  • the present invention relates to a security bag comprising a security panel assembly and to a method of forming a security panel assembly as defined in the appended claims.
  • the present invention comprises a security construction having a panel assembly which, in one form, is placed within an exterior bag of the type fabricated from generally flexible material such as fabric, leather or plastic.
  • the security panel assembly is typically positioned between the exterior layer of material forming the bag and an interior lining as an interior security panel assembly.
  • the concepts associated with the interior security panel assembly may be utilized as a single interior panel assembly or as multiple assemblies associated with multiple pockets of the exterior bag.
  • the high security bag may include a cable or wire which is flexible and incorporated into or with elogate strap that connects to sides of the bag.
  • the wire or cable may include a carbineer which is maintained in a side pocket of the bag and may be released so that the car strap can be placed around a post or some other object so that is cannot be "snatched” easily.
  • Security clasps are also provided on the zipper closures for the exterior bag.
  • the interior security panel assembly in one embodiment includes at least first and second layers of foldable material having at least one cut-resistant cable or wire positioned therebetween and stitched into place between the foldable first and second material layers.
  • binding is provided around at least a portion of the foldable material first and second layers to further encapsulate the material layers and the matrix of wire or wires between those layers.
  • glue or adhesive may be incorporated between the layers to further retain the wire or wires in a fixed position.
  • the first and second layers of material are stitched together to facilitate maintenance of the matrix of wire or wires in a desired array between the first and second layers of material.
  • the first and second layers of material are typically a fabric, non-woven, or plastic material which is foldable.
  • the security panel assembly which is comprised of the layers of fabric and the wire mesh matrix, may be fitted into the exterior bag and positioned intermediate the exterior material forming the bag and a liner material, tacked in that position and then stitched or otherwise attached to various seams or margins of the bag.
  • the security panel assembly can be provided along the exterior of a more rigid bag or container.
  • the panel assembly can be resiliently flexible and thus also serve as a hinge between a rigid container base and a pivotal cover therefor.
  • the security panel assembly can have a finishing cover thereon, such as of fabric material.
  • the wire cable that is associated with the car strap may be fastened to the bag or to the security panel to thereby insure that the wire cable in the trap cannot be disengaged easily from the handbag itself. Further, clasps on the zipper pulls or fastener pulls for the opening to the bag lock or attach to the bag so that access openings cannot be easily opened.
  • a method for forming a security panel assembly includes holding a first layer of material in a substantially fixed position via mounting members and, in a preferred form, on a fixture via the insertion of mounting pegs of the fixture through openigs of the material layer so that the mounting pegs project therethrough. Thereafter, a wire is routed around the pegs in a predetermined pattern. A second layer of material is then oriented so that openings thereof can be aligned with the mounting pegs and is placed onto the pegs so that they extend though the material layer openings. The layers are urged together so that adhesive therebetween is effective to hold the material layer and the wire therebetween securely relative to each other.
  • the present method is not limited to a single wire and multiple wires can instead be secured between the material layers.
  • the wire can be a metallic material, it could also be cut-resistant yarn material such as Vectran.
  • the material layers can be panels of flexible and foldable material, such as a fabric, non-woven or thin plastic material, and the panels can be of different material from each other such as use of a non-woven material for the first material layer or panel and a woven fabric material for the second material layer or panel.
  • the laminate of the material layers and wire or wires therebetween is then sewn to further secure the wire or wires permanently in place between the material layers.
  • the sewing can occur at random locations, as well as around the perimeter of the material layers.
  • a connecting panel or panels such as in the form of wings or smaller tabs can be sewn to one or both of the ends and/or sides of the panel assembly for use in attaching the security panel assembly in a carry bag.
  • the second layer of material need not include openings for being aligned with the mounting pegs.
  • the layer of material can include notches such as V-shaped openings formed at the perimeter edge to be open thereto for being aligned with the mounting pegs. In this manner, the mounting pegs need not be fit into through openings in the second layer of material which translates to a decrease in assembly time for the security panel assembly herein.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a highly secure handbag which includes wires and cables that are incorporated therein, particularly within the interior chamber or chambers or pockets of the handbag to protect the contents of the bag and to prevent the cutting or slashing of the bag so as to secure access to the interior.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a highly secure handbag having a carry strap which may be easily detached and reattached and fastened in a secure manner around a post or a chair, or some other object to prevent the bag from being "snatched".
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a secure handbag construction which is reasonably priced, highly secure, with unobtrusive features and which is reasonably easy to assemble or manufacture.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevation of a typical handbag incorporating security features associated with the present invention.
  • Handbag 20 includes a carry strap 22 and is defined by an exterior bag 23 configured, in the example, as a parrallelepiped construction of a generally flexible material such as canvas, leather, flexible plastic material and similar materials.
  • the exterior bag 23 may further include reinforcement features such as ribs or slats that are incorporated therein or PVC sheets that are incorporated on the inside surface or sewn to the inside of the material forming the exterior bag 23.
  • the exterior bag 23 includes a top opening 21 which is accessible though a zipper or closure mechanism 24.
  • the exterior bag 23 may also include a side pocket 25 accessible through an opening 27 with a zipper mechanism 26.
  • the zippers 24, 26 include a security feature as depicted in Figures 1 and 19 .
  • the zipper 26 includes a catch or tab 28 which may be inserted into a loop 30 that is attached to a base 32 affixed to the outer layer 34 forming the exterior bag 23.
  • the catch 28 is mounted on a plate 35 by means of a pin 33. Plate 35 has a ring 31 attached to zipper 26.
  • the catch 28 must be manually released by pivoting about pin 33 in order to enable perennial and release from the loop 30.
  • the zipper mechanisms 24, 26 are effectively locked to the bag 20 and require a manual release operation in order to enable operation of zippers 24, 26 to achieve access though zippered openings to the interior of the bag 20.
  • the carry strap 22 of bag 20 includes an elongate cable 38 which is sewn into and extends the entire length of the strap 33. Strap 22 is attached to bag 20 at one end to a buckle 42 at its opposite end. The strap 22 also fits though buckle 42 and forms a loop 40 though a cabineer 44. Strap 22 thus forms a loop 40 which enables, in combination with a buckle 42, adjustement of the length of the strap 22.
  • the strap 22 may have one end fastened into the interior of the exterior bag 20 or to a buckle 45 in Figure 4 attached to a loop 47 affixed to bag 20. The opposite end of the strap 22 is attached to buckle 42.
  • the carbineer 44 is also attached to the bag 20 and slidably fits within a pocket 46 in the side of the exterior bag 20.
  • a rotatable socket 48 In order to release the carbineer 44 from loop 40 and open the carbineer 44, a rotatable socket 48 must be manually manipulated.
  • This construction is shown in more detail in Figures 18 and 19 wherein the carbineer 44, which slidably fits into the pocket 46 and thus remains generally hidden during use, is released once the socket 48 is unthreaded so that a pivotal are 50 of the carbineer 44 maybe manipulated to open the carbineer 44 so that the loop 40 of strap 22 may be fitted around a post such as a support of a chair or post 52 as depicted in Figure 17 to thereby retain the bag securely attached to the chair.
  • the strap 22 is security feature of the construction by enabling the placement around a post or some other object to prevent ease of snatching the bag 20.
  • FIG. 2-4 there is depicted the configuration and assembly of an interior panel security assembly 62 which is retained within the bag 20.
  • the interior panel assembly 62 is fabricated in a manner which enables the handbag 20 to remain flexible, yet provides a significant amount of security by preventing cutting though the bag 20 to the interior 60 of the bag 20 for access of its contents.
  • the interior security panel assembly 62 is comprised of layers of foldable material which are stitched together over a matrix of wires or cables of cut-resistant material, which can be synthetic or metallic, for example.
  • the panel assembly is then positioned within the bag 20 and maintained within the interior 60 of the bag 20.
  • a chamber 60 is formed in the bag 20 and typically between a lining 29 in that chamber 60 and the exterior fabric material 23 or other material defining the bag 20.
  • a single wire 200 could be employed that is routed along and across the material layers therebetween as by looping thereof to avoid having more than two ends 202 and 204 of the wire that need to be addressed at an edge of the panel assembly 206.
  • FIG. 3 An interior security panel assembly 62 is depicted in greater detail in Figures 3 and 4 .
  • the interior security panel assembly 62 in the embodiment depicted is comprised of a single panel having a profile that can be described as the profile of the Roman Numeral I.
  • Other configurations, such as a T or U-shape could also be employed depending on the configuration of the bag and where the security panel is needed for protection.
  • the panel assembly 62 is, in this instance, comprised of a single panel which is foldable along fold lines 70, 72, 74 and 76. When so folded, the panel assembly 62 defines generally the shape of a box as depicted in Figure 3 .
  • a box-like structure is formed having a bottom surface 80, opposite side surfaces 82 and 84 and end panels 86 and 88.
  • This box-like assembly or box-like security panel assembly is formed during the manufacturing operation of the security handbag by tacking the panel 62 to the inside face of the material forming the exterior bag 23. Then a lining 29 may be placed over the panel assembly 62 and material forming the exterior bag 23. The layers of lining 29, panel 62 and exterior bag 23 may then be stitched together to form the bag 20. Adhesive may also be used to facilitate assembly. Preferably, stirching is used to form and create the bag 20.
  • Lining 29 fits against the outside of the panel 62 to thereby encapsulate the panel assembly 62.
  • multiple discrete security panels or panel assemblies 62 may be combined to provide a composite interior panel assembly.
  • the embodiment depicted provides an easy and preferred manner of connecting the security panel or panel assembly 62 to the exterior bag 23.
  • the fold lines for example fold lines 70 and 72, insure that the security of the chamber or interior 60 of the bag 20 is maintained since the wire matrix (as discussed hereinafter) is continuous though the fold lines and the step of forming the bag effectively insures that the panel 62 fits over essentially all of the interior walls of the bag 20 and lines the chamber 60.
  • the security panel assembly 300 is used to pivotally connect a lower container base 302 to cover 304.
  • the panel assembly 300 can form a living hinge-type of connection between the base 302 and cover 304.
  • the panel assembly 300 has a cut-resistant cable or wire 306 that is formed into loops and crosses itself along its length so that only two ends 308 and 310 of the wire 306 are present at an edge of the panel assembly 300.
  • the base 302 can be a metallic frame 312 having an open-top box configuration
  • the cover 304 can include a pair of cover members 314 and 316 that cooperate to close the open-top of the box frame 312 when pivoted closed, and to provide access to the bag interior when pivoted open via panel assemblies 300 extending along either side of the box frame 312 and along the cover members 314 and 316 to form living hinges therebetween.
  • the wire netting 306 extends and is captured between a pair of inner and outer metal plates 318 and 320 to form each cover member 314 and 316. These plates also can each have a reinforcement wire 321 that extends around their perimeter to provide rigidity thereto.
  • Each wire netting 306 extends down along a corresponding side 322 and 324 of the frame 312 and around the bottom corners of the box frame 312 where it is secured at the bottom 326 of the frame 312.
  • a metal plate 328 and a plastic plate 330 each substantially coextensive with the bottom 326 can be fixed thereto as by riveting to clamp and fix the bottom loops of the wire netting 306 therebetween, as shown in Figs. 25 and 26 .
  • Figures 5-16 illustrate multiple steps and their sequence for the formation of the interior panel 62.
  • Figure 5 depicts a first step which is the cutting and formation of a first layer 90 of foldable material.
  • the shape and configuration of the first layer 90 may be that of the Roman Numeral I as previously discussed or any desired shape associated with the desing of the bag under construction.
  • the layer 90 of material may be a fabric, plastic sheet or other foldable material. The choice of material is not necessarily a limiting feature.
  • Wires 92 are then placed over the surface of the first layer 90 of material. The wires 92 may be retained in place by a glue or adhesive material 94.
  • the wire or wires 92 are secured against shifting relative to the material layer 90 so as not to be captured loosely between the material layers so that there is no need for extra holding devices such as crimps or the like to secure adjacent runs of the wire(s) to each other.
  • the pattern of the wires 92 in the embodiment depicted is a series of spaced, parallel wires which run diagonally across the surface of the layer 90.
  • Figures 6 and 7 illustrate in further detail the placement of the glue or adhesive 94 on the layer 90 and the positioning of the wires 92 on the layer 90 retained by the adhesive or glue material 94.
  • a second layer 96 substantially identical to the first layer 90, is then prepared with adhered, spaced, parallel wires 98.
  • one of the layers 90 and 96 can be fabric material while the other is a non-women material.
  • the second layer 96 is rotated 180° relative to the first layer 90 and placed over the first layer 90 as depicted in Figures 8 and 9 .
  • the second layer 96 which includes wires 98, is fitted over the first layer 90 which includes wires 92.
  • the pattern of the matrix is not a limiting feature.
  • the chosen matrix in this case is a series of crossed wires which have ends 100 that terminate along a boundary 102, by way of example, of the panel layers 90 and 96.
  • the wires 98 and 92 are stitched into position for retention in the desired position by means of a stitching with nylon or thread 106, for example.
  • the wires 92, 98 are retained substantially in position between the layers 90 and 96 by means of the adhesive or glue 94 as well as the stitching 106.
  • a binding material 110 is provided at least along some of the boundary or edges 102 of the security panel assembly 62 as depicted in Figure 11 .
  • a binding material 110 such as a PVC binding material or any other type of somewhat flexible binding material 110 is fitted over the edge boundary 102 of the panel assembly 62 and subsequently, upon being fitted, is folded over the boundary edge 102 as depicted in Figure 12 .
  • the folded binding 110 is then stitched along stitch line 112 to form an edge of the panel assembly 62.
  • the use of a polyvinyl chloride binding 110 or a similar material insures that the ends 100 of wires 92 and 98 will not pierce or project outwardly from the panel assembly.
  • the wires 92 and 98 are bendable or flexible and thus may be a light cable material or screen wire or some other material that is not easily cut.
  • the wires 92 and 98 are a metal wire such as 0.7mm or steel wire, but any material which is resistant to cutting can be utilized in the construction.
  • the wires 92, 98 are in parallel, spaced rows spaced 0.50 to 2 inches.
  • the panel edges 102 are bound so that the wires 92, 98 will not pierce or project undesirably from the interior security panel assembly 62.
  • the binding 110 is thus preferably provided about the entire circumference of the interior panel assembly 62.
  • the panel assembly 62 has a square configuration rather than that of a Roman numeral I.
  • the configuration of the interior panel assembly 62 is not a limiting feature.
  • the illustrated panels 208 and 210 can have other configurations as previously discussed.
  • Each of these panels has a single wire, wire 200 for panel 208 and wire 212 for panel 210, that is fixed as by adhesive thereto.
  • these wires are looped adjacent the panel edges to avoid numerous free ends of multiple wires thereat instead only having the single pair of ends adjacent one of the side edges of each panel. Further, these wires cross themselves but because they are adhered to the associated panel, they do not require crimps or the like to hold the adjacent wire portions together to maintain the wire extending in a desired pattern along the panels.
  • the security panel assembly 62 is fabricated, it is incorporated into a bag 20 in the manner described previously. The assembly 62 is thus incorporated as a security layer within the bag 20.
  • the cable member 38 associated with the strap 22 may be attached to the interior panel assembly 62.
  • the shape and configuration of the exterior bag 23 and the interior panel assembly 62 may be varied in accord with a design consideration.
  • the inclusion of one or more interior panel assemblies 62 within an exterior bag 23 may be adopted.
  • a fixture 402 such as a small handloom is provided for forming the security panel assembly 400.
  • the fixture 402 includes a mounting base or board 404 that is larger than the layers of material 406 and 408 to be received thereon for forming the security panel assembly 400.
  • the mounting board 404 includes several mounting members in the form of pegs 410 that project upwardly therefrom.
  • the mounting pegs 410 can be arranged in parallel rows with a first pair of the parallel rows corresponding to opposite parallel edges 412 and 414 of the material layer 406 and the other or second pair of parallel rows being oriented to extend orthogonal to the first pair of rows and corresponding to the other pair of parallel edges 416 and 418 of the material layer 406.
  • Through openings, holes, or apertures 420 are formed along and adjacent to the edges 412-418 such that they can be aligned with the mounting pegs 410 for fitting the mounting pegs 410 therethrough.
  • the material layers 406 and 408 are preferably of flexible material such as non-woven or fabric material, the material layer 406 (as well as material layer 408 described more fully hereinafter) can be stretched for fitting the pegs 410 into and through its through openings 420.
  • Figure 30 shows the material layer to the mounting board 404 via the mounting pegs 410 extending through the openings 420.
  • material layer 406 can bave adhesive 422 such as a pressure sensitive adhesive material exposed thereon on its upwardly facing surface 424.
  • the material layer 406 can include a covering sheet 426 made of a material that allows it to be readily removed from preapplied adhesive 422 thereunder.
  • Figure 30 shows the cover sheet 426 being pulled off from the material layer 406 so as to expose the adhesive 422 on the material layer surface 424.
  • the adhesive 422 could be exposed on the surface 424 by applying it directly to the surface 424 of the material layer 406 as it is held on the mounting board 404 by the mounting pegs 410.
  • a cable or wire 428 can be dispensed from a wire fixture such as spooling mechanism 430 ( Figure 31 ) so that the wire 428 can be unwound and routed around the mounting pegs 410 projection above the material layer 406.
  • the wire 428 can be an approximately 0.1 mm to an approximately 3.5 mm, and preferably an approximately 0.6 mm, gauge or diameter wire of metallic material to provide the security panel assembly 400 resistance against being easily and/or quickly cut through.
  • the cable or wire 428 can also be of a cut-resistance, yarn material such as Vectran which is a high-performance thermoplastic multifilament yarn spun from a liquid crystal polymer.
  • the wire 428 is continuously routed around the pags 410 in a predetermined pattern, such as the illustrated criss-cross pattern whereby the single length or piece of wire 428 forms a series of wire boxes 429 having their sides oriented at an oblique angle to the perimeter edges 412-418 of the material layer 406.
  • the pegs 410 are of sufficient lenght so that the wire 428 can be routed tightly around the pegs 410 in speced relation to the material layer surface 424 and the adhesive 422 thereon. This allows the wire 428 to be smoothly routed around the pegs 410 without potentially creating hang-ups during this process by contact with the adhesive material 422 thereunder.
  • the present method allows for use of a single wire 428 so that only two ends 432 and 434 need to be manipulated adjacent to one of the edges 412-418 so as not to be exposed therefrom such as by projecting beyond any of the edges 412-418 or being too closely adjacent thereto.
  • the wire 428 at the ends 432 and 434 is bent back to extend toward the center of the material layer 406 with the ends 432 and 434 being secured to and on the upwardly facing surface 424 adjacent the end edge 416 of the material layer 406. This leaves only bents or curved portions 435 of the wire 428 adjacent to the edges 412-418 and close thereto.
  • the security panel assembly 400 avoids the need to have a protective covering or binding along its perimeter edges that spans the covering layers 406 and 408 to prevent access to multiple pairs of exposed metallic wire ends.
  • the wire ends 432 and 434 are provided with a cap thereon that can be of polymeric material such as a PVC tube to avoid exposed metal ends of the metallic wire 428 between the material layers 406 and 408. This keeps the wire ends 432 and 434 from protruding and poking through the material layers 406 and 408.
  • the leading end 432 can be capped before the wire 428 is routed around the pegs 410. After such routing is complete, the wire 428 can be cut to generate the second or trailing end 434 that is then capped.
  • multiple wires could also be used as desired with additional wires beig routed around the mouting pegs 410 and secured to the surface 424 via the adhesive 422 in a manner similar with the wire 428 with the ends of these additional wires also bent back and capped.
  • the multiple wires need not be directly connecte to each with separate connector members or clips which would increase cost and potentially generate localized bumps in the security panel assembly 400 whrere the connectors are located.
  • the only increase in the thickeness of security panel assembly 400 over that of the material layers 406 and 408 is due to the thickness of the wire 428 secured therebetween.
  • the second material layer 408 is oriented so that its openings 436 are in alignment with the mounting pegs 410 so that the mounting pegs 410 can be received therethough, as shown in Fig. 34 .
  • the through openings 436 are located along and adjacent to the opposite side edges 438 and 440 and the opposite end edges 442 and 444 in a manner similar to the positioning of the openings 420 along the edges 412-418 of the first material layer 406.
  • each opening 424, 436 is individually fit over a corresponding mounting peg 410 or only a few openings 424, 436 at a time are fit over corresponding pegs 410.
  • notch openings 446 could be formed in the material layer 408 instead.
  • notch openings 446 would open to the corresponding edges 438-444 and can have a V-shape for locating the mounting pegs 410 at or adjacent to the apex of the V-notch openings 446. This allows for the second material layer 408 to be quickly placed down onto the wire 428 for being adhered to the underlying first material layer 406 with multiple mounting pegs 410 or all of the pegs 420 substantially simultaneously fit into the corresponding notch openings 446. In this manner, assembly time for forming the security panel assembly 400, and specifically for the application of second material layer 408 onto the wire 428 can be significantly reduced.
  • the laminate 448 is then removed from the fixture 402 by lifting of the material layers 406 and 408 off of the mounting pegs 410, whereupon stitching 450 is applied as by a sewing machine with the stitches interconnecting the material layers 406 and 408 and further securing the wire 428 permanently in place between the material layers 406 and 408.
  • stitching 450 can be at random locationsoins along the laminate 448 as well as along the perimeter thereof corresponding to material layer edges 412-418 and 438-444. as shown, the stitching 450 extends along opposite long side edges 452 and 454 of the laminate 450 and along oblique lines that extend between opposite shorter end edges 456 and 458 of the laminate 448.
  • panel members can be connected to the security panel assembly 400 as by stitching along any of the perimeter edges 452-458 thereof. Any number or size of panel members can be utilized which serve as bridge connectors to provide assistance for attaching and incorporating the security panel 400 into a carry bag to be integrated therein as has been described herein. As shown, the panel members are in the form of opposite tab members 460 and 462 that are centrally connected along the shorter end edges 456 and 458 of the security panel assembly 400.
