COMBINED.HAND-BAG AND SEAT.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented May 25,1915- Application filed August 19, T914. Serial Ito- 857,568.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, KATHERINE V. Mina HART, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Phlladelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have 111- vented new and useful Improvements in (ombined Hand-Bags and Seats, of which I the following is a specification.
This invention has reference to hand bags, and it proposes a device of that class or character which is specially designed for use both as a carrier for various small objects, and, also, as a support or rest, according as its parts are in closed or open position, respectively, so that the owner, after having opened the bag and removed its contents, may dispose the bag on the ground at any desired spot, and then utilize It as a scat-,in the ordinary manner.
The invention further contemplates certain hereinafter-described improvements in a device of the type above specified, whereby its carrying capacity, as well as its dura. bility and general efficiency, are increased.
' An embodiment of the invention is illus trated in the accompanying drawing, Wherethese members is composed, in turn, of an open, inverted U-shaped frame 3, preferably made of flat, sheet metal, and a covering 4 of canvas or other suitable textile material, the covering being disposed against the inner face of each frame and having its marginal or edge portionsfolded over the outer face and stitched thereto. The confronting terminals of the legs of the two frames are hinged together, as depicted in Fig. 4, being provided for that purpose with knuckles 5, through which project the ends of the rod 6 constituting the pintles of the hinges. Also, the adjacent or opposite legs of the frames are connected together, toward their said terminals, by pairs of links 7, which are pivotally connected, and are so arranged as to form break-joints, as likewise shown in the figure just mentioned, thereby providing collapsible braces which, when extended, serve to retain the bag members in open posltion. The outer ends of these links are furnished with lateral pins 8, which proect across the inner faces of the frame legs, and are loosely fitted in sockets 9, or the like, with which the legs are provided.
In addition to the parts above described, the bag is provided with triangular side flaps or wings 10, which are made of canvas, and, as represented in Fig. 2, are preferably formed by extensions of the canvas strip or blank forming the two coverings 4: attached to the frames 3. These flaps fold diametrically, and, when the bag is closed and empty, project inwardly between the members 1 and 2 from opposite sides of said members. When the bag is filled, however, the said flaps will be forced outward, according to the extent to which it is loaded, or to the size or shape of its contents; and when the bag is opened and extended, the flaps will straighten out and form the sides of the seat. Also, the bag may be further provided with a pocket -11, which is formed by stitching or otherwise securing a separate strip of canvas or other material, along its side and bottom edges, to either of the coverings 4, such strip being here shown as attached to the covering of the member 1. Finally, the outer or free upperends of the two members are provided with suitable handles 12, which are adapted to be grasped by one hand, to permit the bag to be readily carried from place to place, when closed.
The invention, its manner of use, and its advantages are believed to be apparent from the foregoing, further description thereof being, accordingly, omitted.
