To all whom it may concern: I Be it known that I, JOHN KNAUss, a c1t1- zen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Biflie-Bag, of which the following is a specification.
This invention pertains to improvements in what may be termed bifile bags.
The invention has for its-object to provide for amusement or entertainment as well as wholesome exercise or recreation.
A further object is to carry out these ends in a simple, inexpensive and effective manner.
The invention consists of certain instrumentalities and features substantially as hereinafter fully disclosed and defined by the claims.
In the accompanying drawing, illustrating the preferred embodiment of my invention wherein it will be understood that various changes and modifications may be made as relates to the detailed construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit thereof, Figure 1 is a perspective of the device. Fig. 2 is a transverse section produced through Fig. 1, about centrally thereof.
In putting my invention into practice, I provide a suitable frame or contrivance 1, adapted for convenient handling or grasping, and movement, it being preferably of general rectangular outline, with hand-hold forming cross-bars 2 at its ends, which are circular in cross-section and oblong endwise,
- to adapt the same to be readily grasped by the hands. Suitably suspended from the frame or contrivance 1 is what I term a biffle bag 3 by means of asuitable suspending medium, as a cord or strap 4, or the like, the connection therebetween and said frame being preferably effected by providing or forming the latter with a central transverse or cross bar 5 having a central aperture 6, through which said medium is passed and knotted as at 7 for its suitable retention therein. The bitfle bag 3 is suitably air-inflated for use, and accordingly is designed to be made of some suitable practically non-porous material; however, an or- Specification of Letters Patent.
