MINA CAMPE, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.
ATTACHMENT FOR THE BOTTOMS OF HAND-BAGS.
Application filed January 8, 1912.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MINA CAMPE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and State of ashington, have invented a new and useful Attachment for the Bottoms of Hand-Bags, of which the following is a specification.
This invention is an attachment for the bottoms of handbags, and has for its primary object to provide an attachment for the bottoms of handbags which will normally hold the bottom of the handbag and when pressure is applied thereto, such as by insertion of articles into the handbag, the salne will open to support the articles within the handbag and prevent the bottom from sagging.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an attachment of this character adapted to be inserted into handbags and provided with means for engaging the bottom lining of the handbag to retain the attachment in position.
A further object of the invention is to provide a spring-pressed folding attachment of this character which normally tends to fold the bottom of the handbag, and which is provided with means for limiting the swing of the folding members when open.
To the above ends this invention is em bodied in the novel construction and combination of parts as elicited in the following description and as pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein similar reference characters indicate similar parts, and wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of a handbag having a folding bottom. Fig. 2 is an end view of the handbag, parts broken away to expose the interior, and the attachment being applied to the bottom of the handbag, the attachment being shown in section. Fig. 3 is a perspective view on an enlarged scale of the attachment, parts broken away.
Referring specifically to the drawings, the handbag is designated by the numeral 3, the same having the usual folding or V-shaped bottom 5, and the bottom lining of the handbag is designated by the numeral 4:.
The attachment comprises a pair of rectangular plates 6 having alternate and alining butts S bent from the adjacent edges thereof, through which a pintle or rod 7 passes to hinge the two plates together, the butts 8 being interrupted at two interme- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 29, 1912.
Serial No. 670,107.
diate points, or spaced apart, and coiled v springs 9 are arranged on the pintle or rod between the respective spaced butts. The extremlties of the springs are bent angularly as designated by the numeral 10 to bear I the butt of the opposite plate, or over the.
hinge-joint, adjacent the respective springs 9, these lips being adapted to strike the respective plates when the plates are opened to limit the swing thereof. Inwardly projecting tongues 11 are struck downwardly from the plate 6 adjacent the springs 9 and the free edges of the said tongues are serrated or toothed, as designated by the numeral 12. The plates 6 are preferably stamped from suitable sheet metal and then covered with thin sheets of leather or the like.
In use, the attachment is inserted into the handbag and placed over the bottom thereof and by forcing the hinge-joint downward to open the attachment, or flatten the same, the bottom of the handbag will be distended or unfolded, and upon releasing the attachment the serrated tongues 11 will engage the bottom lining 1 of the handbag, thereby retaining the attachment in position and folding the bottom of the handbag as the attachment is released. Thus upon the insertion of articles into the handbag the attachment will be opened and the bottom of the handbag will be prevented from sagging, the outer edges of the plate 6 resting on the sides of the bottom and the lips or stops 13 preventing the plates 6 from excessive movement. This device will therefore permit of the ordinary use of the handbag, enabling the handbag to be also used for heavier articles without sagging the bottom or otherwise distorting the handbag, and upon the handbag being emptied, or containing only small articles requiring little space, the bottom of the handbag will be automatically folded.
An attachment of this character may be readily applied to various handbags, it being understood that the attachment may be provided in various sizes to accommodate the various sizes of handbags, and when inserted into the handbag occupies a comparatively small space and therefore does not encumber the use of the handbag in the ordinary fashion. These attachments are also simple and compact in construction, and may be manufactured at a small cost, and present a desirable device of this character for the purpose for which it is designed.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. An attachment for the bottoms of handbags embodying a pair of hinged plates spring-pressed to have their lower faces swing toward each other, and having inwardly projecting teeth on the lower faces for engaging the bottom of the handbag.
9.. An attachment for the bottoms of handbags embodying a pair of hinged plates spring-pressed to have their lower faces swing toward each other, and having inwardly projecting serrated tongues struck downwardly therefrom to retain the attachment in position.
3. An attachment for the bottoms of handbags embodying a pair of plates having alined butts, a pintle passing through the butts, and a coiled wire spring on the pintle and having its extremities bearing against the plates so as to tend to swing their lower faces toward each other, the plates having portions to strike each other for limiting the swing of the plates relative to each other when opened.
4. An attachment for the bottoms of handbags embodying a pair of plates having alining butts, the butts being interrupted at intermediate points, a pintle passing through the butts, coiled wire springs 011 the pintles between the spaced butts and having their extremities bearing against the plates so as to tend to swing their lower faces toward each other, the plates having inwardly projecting serrated tongues struck downwardly therefrom adjacent the springs, the said tongues being adapted to engage the bottom of a handbag.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto a'tfixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
