Application filed August 16, 192-3. Serial'N o. 657,649,
This invention relates to hand bags of the type consisting or a frame formed of we fraine members ordinarily of t l-shape; which are hinged together atv their ends pieces of? fabric secured to the frame members and to eachother beyond the ends of the frame. The object of this invention is. to proyide an improved construction of such. a handbag by which its appearance is made more attractive. The inventionis primarily directed toward an improyemnt inlthe construction ofhand bags in whic the body of'the bag, is made of a fabric composed of interlinl'ring metalrings ordinarily designated as link mesh. It is alsoof utility in" hand bags of various other 7l i a The handbags which have recently enjoyed the, greatest. popularity are those which are of considerably greater length than idtluand the side lines of these bags are usually designed to have graceful curves. It 'is particularly desirable in such bags that thereshouldbe no break or interruption in the lines at the point Where the frame term nates, althoughysuch 11111611111 tions hare been common in bags. hitherto constructed.-
suchhandbags theframe s u ua ly deemed on s u e rf ce with some appropriate pattern and it is desir-able, that this patte 1 1 1.'1iay be carried throughout the full ekteut of the frame and that thefabric remi nm body of the bag may be securedto the frame in such a Way as. not to conceal this pattern and also in such a ay as not to restrictthe area of'the 'fl'itlllfi on which the pattern is to be displ y d I he b er s is -hea gs. the ends of the frame are nbers are secured tl'igetherfby means of hinge members which.
extend substantially the full Width of the ends of the frame members. Such hinges as, these are usually made of a pair of knuckles, one on, the end of each' frai'ne member, and a pintle which passes through the knuckles. It is desira ble that the fabric body of the bag should be s ecured to the frame so as to conceal these hinges so that there. is. no break. in the line at the edge of the bag, due tothe projection of, the hinge member beyond 7 the edge of the fabric body.
Th? lljlfisb lit invention relates to an in;- cra d. c st uct qe L f the m mbe f e frame for such bags, whereby the outer edges of the fabric are in alignment with the outer edges of the frame so that there is produced What is commonly knoiyn as a stream-line effect. In the bag constructed 111 accordance with the present invention the fabric is secured to the inner edge of the frame in the usual manner but at the ends the means ofattachment of the fabric. to the frame is so designed'as to support the fabric to the extreme outer edges ofthe ends of the fran e men'ib'ers thus concealing the hinges which lie at the ends of these niei'nbers. The result is that when the ba is sus ided by the handle in theusual we; the fabric is supported throughout its ezitreme Width and consequently does not F means of attachment areiso arranged th t the frame may be of uniform Width throughout itslcngth; V
V This desirable result is obtained by the use of frume members ordinarily of, tie shape, hinged together at their ends, to wl'rich pieces of the 'fabric'are to, be securedr these pieces being in turn joined together below theends ofthe frame, The eii'dslof the fran ie members are securedv together by; hinges which extend practic 1y across the ends of these members and adjacent "the hinges the frame members areproVided wit-her-gtending portions'udiich' project be yond thc ends'of'the it no undithich ex tend completely across these ends so as to over-lie and conceal the hinge members. The fsbric is then securedto the frame members in any convenient manner and is also secured to' the exte'nsionsso that era hi; are concealedandlie within the latwill be better understood by reference to the accompanying drawing. In this drawing,

Fig. 9 is an end view of a detail of the frame member shown in Fig. 8,
Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view on the line 10-10 of Fig. 8.
Referring to this drawing, the bag is seen to consist of a frame 11, formed of two U- shaped members 12 and 13. These members are provided with looking members desig: nated generally as 14: and 15, to one of which is attached a strap or loop 16. Each frame member has a smooth inner surface 17 and a suitably decorated outer surface 18, the latter extending unrestricted from one end of the frame member to the other. From the inner edge of each frame member projects a thin rib 19 which extends from one end of the frame member to the other and terminates flush With the end of the frame member. The rib 19 is provided with a plurality of eyes 20 to which the fabric may be secured in any desired manner. The body of the bag here illustrated is shown as being made of link mesh fabric, the general construction of which is illustrated at 21, and in order to secure this mesh to the frame along the rib there is used a fine spiral wire 22 which is interlaced through the eyes in the. rib and through the marginal rings along the mesh. These pieces of mesh are joined together below the ends of the frames so that the body of the bag is, in effect, formed of a continuous piece of mesh.
Each end of each of the frame members is provided with a hinge knuckle 28 which extends approximately half way across the end of the main body of the frame member and which is located so that a portion of the knuckle indicated at 24: lies beyond the face 25 of the frame member. These knuckles are drilled as at 26 for the insertion of a hinge pin and as is indicated in Fig. 6 at 27, the end of the frame members are channelled to form a recess into which the cooperating hinge knuckle on the other frame member may enter when the two knuckles are connected together by the pin. The arrangement of the parts is such that when the two frame members are placed back to back the knuckles lie side by side with their apertures in registry, as is shown in Fig.
Projecting from the front surface of each frame member at the ends thereof. is an c tension 28 spaced from that portion of the frame which over-lies the knuckle to form the channel 29. ihe e tension 28 has a plurality of holes 30 drilled thcrcthrough and these holes are carried as near the outer edge of the frame as may be.
It will be noted on reference to Fig. 1 that the mesh which forms the body of the bag is not interrupted near th end of the frame members, but the outer lines of the body of mesh continue from the xtreme edges of the frame members. This unbroken, or stream-line, effect is brought about by the manner in which the mesh is attached to the frame members at their 011th). As has previously been explained, the two pieces of mesh are attached along the sides of the frame members by any convenient means, preferably by the spiral wire 22 iuterlacing with the holes 20 of the rib is, and with the marginal links of the pieces mesh. it is possible to continue this spiral wire beyond the ends of the rib 19, bend it around the corners of the ends of the frame members and then interlace it with the apertures 30 in the extension 28 and with the links so that parts of the pieces of mesh will lie below these extensions. Preferably, however, the connection of the mesh to the frame at the ends of the frame members will be brought about by the use of separate links 31 which are inserted through the marginal links of the mesh at this point and then through the apertures 30. These links serve the same purpose. as the spiral wire but make a somewhat stronger union which is desirable at this point where the action of open ing and closing the frame is likely to cause wear on the connecting members. The spacing of the extensions 28 from the knuckles and the portions of the ends of the frame members which over-lie the knuckles as at 27 provides a channel 29 which permits of the ready insertion of the links 31 through the holes 30. The pieces of mesh to be mounted on the frame are previously cut to the desired shape and the attachment of these pieces to the frame members is easily carried on even at the ends of the frame where the mesh is to over-lie the hinges.
It will be seen that in the hand bag constructed in accordance with the present in vention, the fabric or mesh is easily attached to the frame members so as to produce the desired stream-line effect at the ends of these members and, at the same time,
co-operating Ill the fabric is supported across the ends of the frame members so as to prevent sagging or pulling away of the fabric. By on-setting the hinge knuckles the ends of the frame members as is shown in Fig. 3, where the knuckles are both placed at the right hand edge of the frame member, it will be seen that when a pair of such members are placed back to back the co-operating knuckles take the desired positions. Also the desired stream-line effect with the hinge concealed is brought about in the present hand bag without any diminution in the area of the outer surface of the frame members throi'ighout their length. 1n this way a decorative pattern may be employed on the face of the frame members and this pattern may be repeated without interruption from one end to the other of each member.
Vfhile the frame members have been illustrated and described as being provided witl an extending rib or fin 19 having a series of apertures through. whicn the spiral wire is interlaced for the purpose of attaching the fabric to the frame members. It is also possible to employ frame members in which this fin is dispensed with, the spiral wire being interlaced with the marginal links of the pieces of mesh and then being soldered directly to the inner faces of the frame members. Such a construction is illustrated in Figs. 8, 9 and 10, in which there is shown a frame member with the extensions 28 at the ends and to the inner faces of which is soldered a spiral wire such as has previously been described. This wire is soldered at a point between the edges of the inner face so as to 'be protected to some extent when the bag is in use.
