BAG.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 22., 1322.,

Application filed January 7, 1922. Serial No. 527515.

TO all wwm t may come m.:

Be it known that I, AUoUsT BRUNS, a CitiZen of the United States, residing in the borough of Brooklyn, New York city, in the County and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bags, of which the following is a Specification.

This invention relates to bags of the type used by mechanics, plumbers, and others for Carrying tools, although not limited thereto since it is applicable to other types of bags and for general use; and the object thereof is toprovide a bag which will long withstand heavy loads and the rough usage to which it may be subject.

My new bag comprises, as its principal features, a flat bottom of stif material, pre-ferably sheet metal with upturned fianged edges, and a stout body of canvas or other suitable heavy material preferably waterproof, which around the base is folded back upon itself and sewed down so as to form a pocket, preferably of a depth to reinforce with its double folds the lower portion of the body for a substantial distance above the bottom, and which is then united to the bottom by bolting or riveting the double folds of material and an intermediate strip or strips of metal inserted in and resting on the bottom of the pocket. around the body to the edges or to the metal flanges of the bottom.

The invention will be understood by reference to the acoompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a perspeotive View of my improved bag, in its preferred form, and Fig. 2 is a broken or partial transverse section of the bag, on an enlarged Scale.

.As herein illustrated, the bottom 1 of the bag, which is shaped up from a sheet metal blank, is rectangular in form and is provided with upturned side and end flanges 2 and 3. The two sides 4 and 'ends 5, which form the body of the bag, are folded inwardly around the bottom and sewed down by a line of stitches 6 to form the deep pocket 7 and are suitably united together. Metal strips 8' having been inserted in the pocket thus formed, the body is united to the bottom by screw bolts 9, or rivets as an equivalent, which pass through both folds of the pocket, the intermediate metal Strip inclosed therein, and a flange of the bottom. An extension 10, on one side of the body, serves s flap o r cover, The bag is completed by the addition of suitable straps 11,

for closing and Carrying it.

As thus constructed, the bag is both rein- 'foroed by an extra thickness of canvas around substantially the lower half of the body and the weight loaded on the bottom and carried by the body when the bag is in use is not concentrated at the rivet points but is distributed entirely around the bag.

hat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1.
