ALEXANDOIB, WAIDICH, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS LAUNDRY BAG.

Application filedfOctober 21, 1322. Serial No. 596,111.

This invention relates to laundry bags or.

clothes hampers, and an object of the invention is to provide a neat appearing compact container for either soiled or clean clothes, which may be supported from a suitable support and comprises front and rear sides connected by foldable webs and having their uplper open edges reinforced by reinforcing p Another object of the invention is to provide a novel form of catch for holding the upper edges of the front and rear sides of the bag in closed position.

Other objects of the invention will appear in the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein b Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the improved Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the bag.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail vertical section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a detail cross section taken on the line 4-4: of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a front elevation of a modified form of the laundry bag.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the improved laundry bag comprises the clothing container or bag 1 which includes a front side 2 and rear side 3. The sides 2 and 3 are connected by the edge pieces 4, which are creased longitudinally as shown at 5 in Fig. 4 of the drawings to permit the front and rear sides 2 and 3 to be moved towards each other for closing the bag structure. The edges of the front and rear sides and the edges of the end pieces 4.

are stitched together and bound by suitable binding 6 of anysuitable material to increase the strength and add to the appearance of the bag. The front and rear sides preferably have their upper portions cut away as shown at 8 to add to the attractiveness of the appearance of the device, and they are hemmed as shown at 9 and 10 respectively, the hems encircling or receiving rods or poles 11 and 12 respectively, the ends of which may be ornamented as shown at 13.

In the preferred form Shown in Figs.

1 to 4: of the drawings suspending cord 14 is connected to the ends of the rodh12 and it has a loop 15 formed: thereon which is adapted to engage over any suitable type of support asindicatedat 16. Suitable dec orative tassels 17 are carried by the rod 11 and byithe suspending cord 14;. p

A sheetmetal clasp 19 is attached to the rod 11 in any suitable manner suchfas" by screws 20 and it extends below the rod, as clearly shown in the drawings. The upper end 21 of the clasp 19 is curved for engaging over the bar or rod 12 for holding the bag closed and when it is desired to open the bag the curved end 21 is removed from the bar or rod 12, which permits the front side 2 of the bag to swing outwardly as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. A finger tab 22 is stitched to the front side 2 preferably at the stitching of the hem 9.

By particular reference to Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawings it will be noted that the back 3 is slightly larger than the front 2 so that the rod or bar 11 will engage beneath the rod or bar 12 when the 'bag is closed providing a flat, neat appearing bag structure.

In Fig. 5 of the drawings a modified form of the bag is shown which modified form is similar to the pre-ferred'form in every respect with the exception of themanner I extensions 30, cooperating therewith in forming a socket for engagement over a suitable support as shown at 32, for supporting the bag directly from the supports 32 and the bar 12. i

. It is, of course, to be understood that the invention may be constructed in other manners and the parts associated in different relations and, therefore, I do not desire to be limited in any manner except as set forth in the claims hereunto appended.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is: v 1. In a laundry bag, front and rear sides, foldable ends connecting said sides, the upper edges of said 19 1 a d rear side being free from connection, bars carried by said free edges; and a clasp carried by one of said bars adapted to engage the other bar, said front side being slightly shorter than the rear side whereby the bar carried I by the front side Will lie beneath and in parallel relation to the bar carried by the rear side.

2. In a laundry bag, front and rear sides,

foldable ends connecting said sides, the upper edges of said front and rear sides beried by the rear side for supporting the bag. r V

3. In a laundry bag, front and rear sides, foldable ends connecting said sides; the upper edges of said front and-rear sides being folded upon themselves andstitched to the body portion thereof to form transverse pockets, barsarranged Within said pockets,

a clasp carried by one of said bars and adapted to yieldably engage the other bar,

said front side being slightly shorter than the rear side whereby the bar carriedby the front side will lie beneath and in parallel relation to the bar carried by the rear 7 side.
