Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JULIA W. D. PATTEN, OF WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
IMPROVED EXTENSION TRAV'ELILNG-BAG.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 101,910, dated April 12, 1870.
To all whom it may concer-12,: Be it known that I, J. W. D. PATTEN, of Washington city, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain Improvements in Bags, Satchels, and Similar Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to the construction of a traveling or other bag, satchel, or similar receptacle, in such manner that it may be extended, or when so extended may be shortened or contracted, according to the space needed in the various well-known uses to which such articles are applied, such enlargement or contraction being effected by causing one section or division to pass over or within another section, and the lower section alone being provided with a bottom piece or closed at the bottom.
Another. part of my improved bag consists in so adjusting and supporting the parts or Sections that they can be moved in relation to each other and -iixed at various points or any point within the limits of its extension and contraction.
Figure 1, A B, represents an exterior side view of one-half of the bag when it is fully extended; C D, one-half of the interior side opposite, the corresponding half-side being removed. Fig. 2isavertical transverse section through or near the line a b, and showing the interior face of the narrower side or end and the supportingstrap F.
My extension-bag is constructed in two parts, and so arranged that one can pass or slide over the other. I prefer that the upper section (Fig.` l, A) be made the larger and slide over the lower section, B. The upper edge (Fig. 2, h) of the lower section and the lower edge, f, ofthe upper section, are united by cloth or other pliable material; or this connectingpiece C C may be made of the same material of which the outside of the bag is made, or of any other material, though I prefer a pliable cloth as facilitating the movement of the overlapping parts.
In the sectional view, Fig. 2, are seen the edges i g of the sides when drawn together and overlapping to their full extent. The overlapping parts are connected by the piece C C already referred to.
A flap or curtain, of leather or other lirm material, e e, may be attached to the top of the bag, on the inside, just below the clasp, and made sufficiently broad to extend some distance below the upper edge, h, of the lower section, to keep the same in position.
The device for extending, supporting, and adj listing the sections in position, as required, consists of a strap, F, attached at one end of the upper section just below the clasped frame, as seen at G; thence brought down and passed through a loop, p p, of metal or other suitable material, which is fastened to the bottom of the lower section. The strap then passes upward, doubling on itself, and is fastened to a slotted slide, s, which can be moved along the strap. The piece d serves as a linger-piece or handle for more easily adjusting the slide,
slots, according to the amount of friction required in its movement for balancing and supporting the contents of the bag. It will be readily seenthat the strap serves as a support to the lower section, and that as the slide is drawn down this support is lengthened, thereby allowing the lower section to pass downward with it. y
The parts can be fixed and made serviceable at any point between the extremes of movement, and the extension ofthe bag is limited only by the length of the stra-p or the width ofthe overlapping portions.
I do not limit my invention to the number of supporting-straps. Smaller bags may require only two, one at each end, while in larger ones straps upon the sides may be added, as seen partially in Fig. 1, L, and such straps may be made with diverging branches for givingstillstrongersupporttothebottom. Oneoi` these diverging branches is shown at K, Fig. 1. Neither do I limit my invention to the material of which the bag is made, nor to a bag with the clasp, nor to the number of overlapping sections; neither do I limit the device for adjusting and supporting the parts to a strap and slide, as described; but elastic connections, buckles, clamps, catches, snaps, pins, hooks, slides, or other devices may be used.
My invention might be applied also to baskets and other receptacles.
I clain1-- An extension travelingfbag with one section arranged to slide over another, the sections being adjusted in relation to each other by means of straps or equivalents, and operating within the bag, substantially as shown and described.
