M. H. STEIN ET AL BRIEFv CASE Filed Dec". 29, 1923 A Patented Aug. 9, 1"927. Y i
MICHAEL HQ STEIN' AND eSTATES MTEf,N,fi-f
BRIEF ASE 1 1 Many other objects and advantages of the S construction herein sliownand described will bejobvious to those skilled in the art .from I the disclosures herein given.
To this end our Ainvention consists-.in the novel construction, arrangementandcoinbinationof parts herein shown and described, and more particularly pointed out inthe claims. Y Y, ,g
i In the drawings, wherein like reference characters indicate like yor corresponding Fig. l is a side View of our improved case;
AFig.Y 2 is a top planview of the saine;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view takensubstantiallyon line y3 3 of Fig. 2 enlarged to more clearly show the details of construction; and
Fig. 4 is .anf'enlarge'd sectional view taken f l substantially on line4-J4'of FigQl.
Referring to the drawings, l represents a -I Y vbag ofthe desired material, size-and shape and ordinarily made of lbellows construction to allow' for expansion or contraction, de
pen'ding upon the `contents of the bag. 'I hel same is providedwith a cover or flap 2 which.
is formedint'egral with or connected to one 40 of the sides and extends vover the top of the bag and is arranged to be locked or secured to the oppositeV side. The same is provided Y with a handle 3 Yand with suitable locking means 4 or the equivalent, as well as with straps 5-5 of suitable forni. VThe straps are maintained in place and prevented from disi placement bythe fasteners or slides 6 `and 7 j make the slots 20 ofV a considerable length if desired,fthereby permitting a greater adjustvf,
ment, aswellas' the usesofnarrow strapsiuljV without additional covers for the'slots 20. ff. s.
as shown, howe ver, can carrythe loadfr0m-.` i'
"the flap alone without the straps 5 `asilie loadfis distributed overthefentire flapndilm or their equivalents. -Y A Referring particularly to Figs. 3 vand 4,'the handler-3 is secured on a handlebar .8' arranged at theexterior of the flap. This bar 8 is preferably of steel or other suitablenia-1V terial, Yandis generally covered asindi'cate'd at 9by leather or lik'emater'ial matching withthe material of the bag. Secured tothe Application fiiea necmb'er'aa.1923., seriaiivatsaa bar 8 are metal straps or loopsjllf, whichlare'ivrl looped as indicated atflO to engage with the rings or' fasteners vl2 suitably securedto the handle, 1'3 and 14 being a covering arranged over ,the ends of the handlebar 8 and form%;-60 ing a cover for the same as well asfor the loops or fastening members lO-illl and slides for the straps 5 5.V These members, as well as the co-vers v13--l4,V are secured lto v`the handlebar by rivets l5 or `equivalent'means'65 for the purpose.
y Y Arranged V on the inside ofthe cover. or flap 2 isa bar 17 of steelor othergsuitabley Inateria-l/which is covered yas' vindicated jat 18 Vso as to make the sai-ne. attractivev and 4givefal 70 finished appearance. The'bars`17 and@ are i secured together by a rivetI 19or the equiva-V lent, a-t eacliend passing throughslotjs' 2O in the flap. We preferjtoplace a spacer 19' on each of jthey rivets, which `will prevent a binding. v 'These slots 20-are preferably elongated and` eXtend-edtransversely to the flap, as most clearlysliown in Figs. 3 and V4. This permits anadjustment of the handle yrelai tive the bafg'for expansionl and Acontraction` 80 for varying loads carri-edgin the bag. vthen the vcontents of the bag are variedand 'the saine is ext'endedor contractechthe handle 1S substantially'v selfadjustingsso tliatfwhen` `the bagner carried', it-,wi'lll han-g 'straightand not at: `an angle-tof the .,discoinfoiftv aii-clflin convenience of .the user'. Y :By employingl L singlememberlQ at each end ofthe handle,l there is very little if anybinding atthe two f points, and very little if any weakeningV of imk the flap.
As will be notedby referringto Fig.` 3,-;1 the strapsy extend over thebar 8 between* the bar and cover po-rtio'nlat'thejend atv i. {points'over theslots 20. 'ilhesefstraps,there` 95 fore,1not only'hold the contentscompactlyVl a .and relieve the strain.` of the load on the w (rivets '19 and llap, butbycovering the slots: v Y not only impro-vertlie appearance ofthe bag" v i .but likewise, keep out Idust anddirtor rain100 thereby; protecting thecontents. jBy using the straps.v for this pu'rpose,"itl is possible vto l' employingvthe two bars the lapis not pulled out of shape. rlhi's construction also g tends to prevent Wearing and tearing of the `vflap at'the slots,as is the case Where onlyone bar is employed. v a Having thus described our invention, it
henceive do" not. Wish to be understood as struction, arrangement and combination of parts herein shovvn and describedfor uses f mentioned. w15,
Y by Letters Patent is:
, fincombination, a brief case and a carrying Vhandle therefor, said brief case having single lateral slot therein at its upper-edge adjacent'thehandle ends,"saidhandle havfao f slots.
1 2. In a brief casefhaving Va cover Hap thereforandl a handle arranged on saidl flap. said ap VW hat We claim as nevvand desire to secure l. Ina device of the "kinddescribed' and ing means thereon engageable in said slots Whereby'it may be laterally adjusted relative. -to the l'o-ad'carried insaid case, and straps extending around'the case and covering' said device ofthe hind described,VY a

Y and reinforcing means interiorly' andV ext'e.`
riorly of said flap and cooperable with said handle at vsaidV slots, land* straps arranged aboiitthe case and normally covering said slots.
