MOTHPROOF BAG.

Application filed September 28, 19526.

The invention relates to garment protecting bags and provides an article which is proof against insects, dust and other deteriorating influences, and which obviates undue pressure on the garment to avoid wrinkles and the flattening of a collarror other part desired to stand out, such as ruffles and like trimmings, and which admit-s of ready access so that a garment may be easily and conveniently placed in position or removed from the bag.

The invention provides a bag having a flat top and bottom which hold the sides extended when the bag is unfolded and suspended, and which is open at the front and made secure when closed by suitable fastenings, the edge portions bordering upon the opening being stiffened and reenforced to sustain the fastenings and insure a close iii; to exclude insects and dust.

While the drawings illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that in adapting the means to meet specific needs and requirements, the design may be varied and such other changes in the minor details of construction may be resorted to within the scope of the invention as claimed, without departing from the spirit thereof.

For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof, reference is to be had to the following description and the drawings hereto attached, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a garment protecting bag embodying the invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.

Figure 3 is a View similar to Figure 2, of the bag inverted or as it appears from the bottom.

Figure 4 is a Vertical sectional view on the line 44 of Figure 2, a portion intermediate the top and bottom being broken away.

Serial No. 138,261.

Figure 9 is a view similar to Figure 8. after the fold has been completed. I

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and desig nated in all the views of the drawingsby like reference characters.

The bag may be constructed of any suitable material generally employed in the manufacture of moth-proof bags and usually consists of stout paper and may be of any dimensions according to the specific use for which the article is designed. The bag comprises enclosing sides such as a back, front, top, bottom and'sides. The body of the bag is designated generally by the humeral 1 and is open at the front to admit of ready access when. placing a garment in position or removing it from the bag. The ends of the bag are flat and r-eenforced and constitute the top and the bottom respec tively. The sections of the front are desig nated by the numerals 3 and 4t and the edge portion of the section 3 bordering upon the opening is shaped to provide a double fold, as shown most clearly in Figure 7, the folds 5 and 6 being spaced apart to receive the edge portion of the section 4,. which is reenforced by doubling a marginal portion upon itself, as shown most clearly in Figure 7. The reenforced edge portions of the sections 3 and 4 receive fastenings 7 by means of which said sections are made secure when closed. Any suitable fastening means 7 may be resorted to and, as indicated, the elements 7 consist of ordinary paper fasteners which are passed through reenforced eyelets formed in the folded and reenforced edge portions of the sections 3 and 4.

The upper and lower ends of the be constituting the top and the bottom are similarly formed, each being reenforced and flat, and a detailed description of one will sufiice for a clear understanding of both the top and the bottom. A strip 8 of cardboard. or other stiff light material is utilized as the reenforcing means for each end of the bag. This strip is of a length and width to ex tend between the front, back and sides of the bag and is adhesively secured to a marginal portion of the back, as shown most clearly in Figure 8. An edge portion 9 of the bag is folded inwardly to serve as a reenforcement and thefolded edge-portion 9 corresponding to the back is folded over an edge of the strip 8, as indicated most clearly in Figure 8. The end portion of the back is folded to extend at a right angle thereto, as indicated in Figure 9, to form the end closure and the end folds 10. This is shown most clearly in Figure 9. The end portion of a side of the bag is now doubled upon itself pro'ducingthe fold 11 which closes upon the fold 10 when the end portion of the front is folded to overlie the end ofthebag. The folded end portion of the front is made secure by fastenings 7. It ispreferred to securethe fold 10 to the reenforced end of. the bagand this is effectedby a-suitable adhesive. The f-oid 11 is free so that thefolded end of thefront mayloe extended and thesections and 4 opened outwardly so that unobstructed and free access may be had to the interior of the bag when placing a garment therein or removing it therefrom.

A suitable garment hanger 12 isapplied to the top" of the bag to admit ofa garment being draped thereover and a suspending hook 13 is connected with the hanger 12 and provides means for suspending and handling the bag. Pocketsl t are located upon'the inner side of the front near the top thereof toreceive any determinate compound usually employed for destroying insects and thereby adding to the efficiency of the article.

Having thus what I claim is:

l. A garment protecting bag of the character specified having a reenforcing strip attached to an end portion of theback and described the invention,

adapted-to have end portions of the sides and front folded thereover.

2. A garmentproteeting bag having an end portion folded inwardly, a reenforcing strip forming an end closure and attached to amend portion of the back with the edge portionfifo'lded thereover and having end portions of the sides and fro'nt folded inwardly to overlie the reenforcing strip, the foldsat the ends of the sides being attached to end portions of the reenforcing -strip.

3. A garment protecting bag open at the front and having edge; portions of the sections comprising the from reenforeed and overlapped, one of the ed e portions having MARY E. KUIK. [n s.]
