THOMAS HANS, or ANDERSON, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR 'ro' MID-WEST BOX COMPANY, OF
' ANDERSON, INDIANA, A oonronA'rIoN OF INDIANA.
I GARMENT-PROTECTOR.
Application filed August 9, 1915. Serial No. 44,409.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THoMAs HANs, a citi' zen of the United States, residing at Anderson, in the county of Madison and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Garment-Protector, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to produce a garment bag suitable for the reception either temporarily or for storage, of garments, the construction being such that the bag may be produced readily from sheet paper and easily folded in an air-tight and bug-proof manner.
The accompanyingdrawings illustrate my invention. Figure 1 1s a perspective view of the bag in use; Fig. 2 an elevation with some portions broken away and other portions turned back, illustrating one form of my improved bag; Fig. 3 a section on line 33 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 a section on line 4-4 of Fig. 2; Fig. 5 a section similar to Fig. 4, showing the protective flap draw outwardly to facilitate the insertion of a garment; Fig. 6 a fragmentary section on line 66 of Fig. 2; Fig. 7 a fragmentary section on a larger scale and on a line a trifle below line 6-6 but parallel thereto; Fig. 8 a'perspective view of'a bag of modified construction; Fig. 9 a transverse section of the bag shown in Fig. 8; Fig. 10 a fragmentary sectional detail of the hanger forming a part of my bag; Fig. 11 a fragmentary perspective section transversely of the bag shown in Fig. 8; and Fig. 12 a fragmentary perspective detail on the line 12-12 of Fig. 2.
In the Figs-1 to 5, 12 indicates a main body sheet folded longitudinally on the line 13 to form front and back sheets. The upper edges ofthe doubled sheet are then folded over together and, after the pliable metal strip 14 is laid in position, the edges are again turned down and glued and secured in place by staples 15, the said staples also holding the metal strip 14 in place. The vertical edges are turned inwardly as indicated at 18 and pliable metal strips 19 secured beneath the inturned edge. At intervals in the length of the front or back there" are embedded transverse pliable metal strips 20, preferably protected by coverings 21. Upon the inner face of one side of the bag is secured a strip or flap 22, said flap being secured adjacent the free edge of the main body sheet and normally extending inwardly, as
clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 4.- This flap should preferably be of considerable lateral extent for a purpose which will appear.
The lower edge of the body sheet is turned upwardly and inwardly at 23 and, in order to close the lower end of the bag while at the same time permitting considerable extension,.I insert a bottom-forming strip 24 which is doubled and attached at its upwardly presented free edges, as indicated at 25, to the inner faces of the body sheet.
Inserted between the doubled upper edges of the body sheet from between the two halves of the body sheet is a loop 30 which may very convenientl be formed of strong fabric and this loop 1s securely fastened in place by means of a rivet 31 passing through a metal .clip 32 which straddles the doubled upper edge of the body sheet and forms an eye for the reception of a hanger hook 33. Loop 30 is of such character as to readily receive the books 34 of one or more ordinary garment hangers 35 and, as the loop 30 is directly fastened to the external hook 33 and in line therewith, it will be readily apparent that none of the weight of the garments placed within the bag will come upon'the body sheet but will, instead, be directly supported by the hook 33.
The form shown in Figs. 8 to 11, inclusive, is very similar to that shown in the other figures, differing in the following particulars:
The lower end of the bag is-closed by ha-V ing its lower edges turned upwardly, as indicated' at 41, and secured in place by suitable staples 42. The fiap 43 is similar to flap 22, but conveniently is integral with the body sheet 12.
For ordinary storage purposes, the bag may be hung in a closet by means of its hook 33 and the vertical edge of the bag left freely open, the flap 22 or 43 being withdrawn, as indicated in Figs. 5 and 1, for the ready insertion of a garment in the manner indicated in Fig. 1, whereupon the flap may be turned back into the bag over the garment, thus quite satisfactorily protecting it from dust for short periods and permitting the ready withdrawal of the garment.
When permanent storage is desired, the open vertical edge of the bag will be doubled upon itself twice in a manner shown in Fig. 7 the vertical strips 19 serving as gages for readily defining the fold line, and the transverse strips 20 operating to retain the body sheet doubled longitudinally and closed at its upper end, a fold-definingstilfening member carried by said body sheet along one of its longitudinal free edges,
.and fold-retaining members embedded in I body sheet.
the body sheet adjacent and transversely to a longitudinal free edge of the body sheet.
