H. B. ROWAN HAND BAG Filed oct. l, 1924 2 sheets-sheer 2 llllll.

. mm" y mum-lmp INVENTOR i w@ m l Y chain for suspending thel bag secured to them.

The two bag-receptacles 11 of flexible material, kpreferably metallic link mesh, are secured to the circular members 5 and 6, the material-at the edge of the opening in each receptacle being secured in any suitable l manner to the edge of the circular member and unless they are more or less filled, they" around the entire circumference thereof.

14 shows l the bag inits closed position. By releasing the clasp 8, the two circular members '5 and 6 maybe turned relatively about pivot 7 to the open position-indicated in Fig. 4, thus givingV access to the two receptacles which hang down parallel to each other as is indicated in Fig. 4. When the bag is closed the two receptacles hang down parallel yto each other as shown in Fig-1 lie close together and present a very attractive appearance.

With the Vbag thusV formed is combined a casing for cosmetics. This casing 1s in the form ofa disc havingreceptacles on opposite sides thereof and it is pivotally mounted within the bag so that itmay be turned about its pivot to give ready accessto either of the two receptacles. Preferablyv it is pi"- otally mounted upon the pivot pin 7 by which the two circular members 5 and 6 are connected. The casing consists of two metallic rings 12 and 13, the latter having a` circumferential lflange over which the metal of the former is turnedin such a way as to form on the casing an outwardly extending circumferential iange shown at 14.

25 to form circumferential grooves infwhichVr the flange '14 on the casing is received.'V On the casing is a radial projection 26 forming a linger piece by which the casingmayv be turned relatively to either of the circular members 5 and 6. In order that this projection may be of adequateV size and still not prevent the circular members 5 and 6 from coming together face to face asshown in Fig. 2, grooves are formed in the metal of the rings 5 and .6 as shown at27 in Figs. 3 and 4 of a size and in the position for Vreceiving projection 26.

The covers 16 and 23 for the two receptacles of the casing are provided with pro- Y y jections-28 for use in moving them to the open position, and if necessary the flange 24 onthe circular member 5 may be cut away sufficient to permit the free passage of Ithe projection 28 on the cover 23. Y Y

rIhe drawings illustrate the construction which I prefer to employ both with respect to utility and attractive appearance, but it is to be understood that the features of the invention may be employed in constructions differing considerably from that shown in the drawings. For instance, the members 5 and 6 are shown as circular, and the parts of the casing are circular to correspond thereto, but these maybe more or less oval or of some polygonal shape and all such generally circular shapes I mean to include by the expression circular member' which I have used in referring to theparts v5 and 6.

e I claim:

, 1. A'hand-bag comprising the` combina-` tion of two circular members pivoted together at one side, a claspkfor holding the.l A i two members detachably together at a' pointv opposite the pivot, two bag-members of flexible material each secured to one ofthe cir-k cular members, a case pivotally mounted within the bag to turn relatively tol both of the circular members, and a circumferen- ,tial flangeon the case adapted to be received in grooves provided therefor in the adjacent faces ofthe said circular members. l

V2. A hand-bag comprising vthe combination 'of frame members pivoted together on one side and having inwardly extending flanges shape-d to form circumferential' grooves, means opposite the pivot for hold ing the twoy members-detachably together, bag members secured to the framemem-V bers, and a casel pivotally mounted within the bag to turnrelatively.. toboth of the frame members, said case having a circumferential flangeadapted to fit into-the circumferential grooves'of said frame members. 3. A handbag comprising the combination of frame members pivoted together on one side and having inwardly extending 1,110 flanges shaped to form circumferential grooves, means opposite the pivot for holding the two members detachably together, bag members secured to kthe frame members, a case pivotally-v mounted within the bagV 11.5 to turn relatively tov'both of ythe frame members, said case having a lcircumferential fiange adapted to fit into the circumferential grooves of saidv frame members, a projection on said case and depressed portions 120 in said frame members adapted to align'and form an opening to receive said projection. f4. In a hand-bag, a frame comprising two members pivoted together atone side, means 'opposite said pivot forholding said members detachably together,.said members-having inwardly extending iianges adapted to abutV against each other in closed position and said flanges shaped Vto form circumferential grooves, and a case pivotally mounted with- V in said frame members and having a cirand said flanges shaped to form circumfercumferential flange adapted to fit into the ential grooves, a case pivotally mounted circumferential grooves of said frame memwithin said frame members and having a bers. circumferential fiange adapted to fit into the 5 5. In a hand-bag, a frame comprising two circumferential grooves of said frame mem- 15 members pivoted together at one side, means bers, said case having receptacles formed opposite said pivot for holding said memon opposite sides thereof,v and closure for bers detachably together, said members havsaid receptaclespivoted to said case.
