This invention relates t0 a purse and more particularly to a combined purse, bill fold, vanity compact and memorandum book, and provided with means for securing it to the wrist of the wearer. .t

One of the important objects of the invention is the provision of an elastic wrist band adapted to be strapped to the purse and which can be replaced' when stretched orworn out.

Another object of this invention isthe provision of a compact which fits into an opening provided in the wall of the bill fold and which can be easily replaced.

Other objects will appear as the disclosure progresses. The drawings are merely intended to indicate a possible embodiment of the invention. It is obvious that the actual needs of manufacture may necessitate cer*l tain mechanical changes. It is, therefore, not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment illustrated, but rather to define such limits in the appended claims.

In general, the device consists of a purse, a bill fold, a compact inserted in one of the walls of the bill fold, a change holding compartment, attached to the inside Walls of the bill fold, a replaceable wrist band and straps to attach the wrist band to the purse.

For a more detailed understanding of the invention, attention is now called to the drawings in which a preferred embodiment is shown illustrated. In these drawings, like parts are designated by like reference characters in all the views.

Figure 1 is an inside view of the device shown in an unfolded position.

Figure 2 is a section substantially on line 2`2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a similar view of the purse shown in Figure 1, in a folded position.

Figure 4 is a rear view of the purse shown in Figure 3 looking in the direction of ar row A.

1924. Serial No` 716,757.

Figure 5 is a view showing the frame in which-the compact fits.

- Figure 6 is a section on line 6 6 of Figure5.

Figure 7 is a section on lin`e7-7 of Figure l, showing the replaceable band.

Figure 8 is a modification band shown in Fig. 7.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, numeral 1 designates the body, and 2 and 3 outside and inside facings which compose of the wrist 'i the bill fold 4. The facings 2 and 43 are stitched together at the bottom and sides.

At. the top, snap fasteners 5 are provided to lock the upper edges of the facings together.

Attached to the inside facing 3 at the left is a change purse 6. The purse consists of a wall member 7 stitched to the acing 3 at three sides.

The slot 26 is provided for the purpose of allowing the frame 22 to give somewhat so the compact Will snap in place. .The material of the facing is of such nature as to stretch With the slight opening of the frame at the slit when the compact is being,` inserted.

Numeral 28 designates complementary snap fasteners for snapping the ends of the purse together for folding, as Wil-l beseenin Figure 3.

While the preferred embodiment of the invention is shown and described in detail, it will be understood that various changes in the form, proportion and minor details of'construction may be resorted to Without departing Afrom the spirit, or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as defined by the appended claims,
