MARY G. HOLBROOK, OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.
TRAVEL BAG.
Application filed October 5, 1925. Serial No. 60,522.
My invention relates to travel bags and more particularly to one for use by automobile tourists, the principal; object of the invention being to protect a travelers cloth- 6 ing against dust, dirt and the elements and to provide a carrier to which ready access may be had for packing or unpacking and which will retain clothing in serviceable condition.
In accomplishing this object I have provided improved details of structure, the preferred forms of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein The single figure is a perspective view of a travel bag constructed according to my invention, showing the bag open to illustrate its several elements.
Referring more in detail to the drawing: 1 designates a bag formed of closely woven fabric or other suitable material, closed at both side edges and at the top and bottom but having a central longitudinal opening 2 in its front wall, preferably extending from top to bottom of the bag to afford ready access when a coat, a pair of trousers or a womans skirt or dress is to be packed in or removed from the bag, the material at the sides of the opening forming flaps having a fullness "so that one may overlap the other to close the bag, and the respective flaps being provided with snap elements 3 and 4 whereby the flaps may be secured to close the bag.
The bag is also preferably made adjustable as to length by providing it with snap eyes 5 along its bottom edge and studs 6 spaced at intervals for adistance above the bottom edge so that the bag may be folded and the snaps engaged when the bag is to be shortened from its full length.
The top edge of the bag is rounded and located at the center of the top edge is a grommet 7 through which the hook 8 of a hanger 9 may be projected to suspend the bag from a support, such as a stud on the back of the front seat of an automobile. The hanger 9 may be of any suitable construction but preferably that illustrated in the drawing as consisting of an ordinary curved coat hanger bar 10 and trousers rod 11. and in addition thereto a skirt hanger consisting of a triangular member comprising the side rods 12 and cross bar 13, the bar 13 preferably being of substantial length and having a relatively wide upper edge 14, over which a womans skirt or gown may be placed to support the same in the lower portion of the bag. The side rods 12 are preferably formed from a single piece of heavy wire. having hooks at their lower ends en- 6 gaging the cross bar 13 and having a I straight. bar-like member at the angle to lie within a suspended strap 15 carried by a loop 16 attached to the under edge of the coat hanger 9, the strap being preferabl provided with a snap 17 so that. if desire v the skirt hanger may be removed from the coat hanger when the skirt or gown is to be transferred from the travel bag to a closet or for convenience in applying the skirt or gown to the hanger when the bag is to be packed.
Attached to the inner face of the back of I the bag is a-pocket 18 for shirts or the like, having an open top 19 through which the articles may be placed in the pocket and having snap members 20 and 21 for fastening the pocket to hold the contents therein.
On the inner face of one of the front flaps is a pocket 22 for handkerchiefs or other small articles of apparel, also provided with a fastening snap 23, and on the inner face of the other front flap is a transverse strap 24 having its ends fixed and its intermediate portion free from the flap to form a hanger for neckties or the like. which may hang loosely within the bag but are preferably confined by a pocket-forming cover sheet 25 that may be attached to the inner face of the flap by fasteners 26. whereby the pocket member may be applied to the bag or if desired, removed therefrom and itself stored in one of the other pockets.
27 designates a pocket on the outer face of the front of the bag, which may constitute a catch-all for toilet articles or the like, useful to an automobile tourist.
Assuming the bag to be constructed as described. it may be packed by first placing shirts or other articles in the back pocket, and handkerchiefs and neckties in the respective pockets on the front flaps. Coat and trousers are then applied to the hanger and the hanger applied to the bag by insertion through the front opening and applica- 5 tion of the hook 8 through the grommet 7.
If a womans skirt or gown is also to be packed .in the bag, then the garment is folded and laid over the hanger bar 14 and this hanger placed in the bag and suspended from the coat hanger b the stra 15. When the bag is packed, it is closed an substantially sealed against dust, dirt and the elements by means of the snaps 3-4.
The bag with its contents may then be hung on a suitable support on the back of the automible seat or elsewhere.
With the articles of apparel contained within the bag, they are carried conveniently in arelatively small space and without disturbance, being kept in Wearable condition so that when desired for use, pressing or cleaning is not required.
It is apparent that the articles may be easily and quickly removed from the bag and as easily and quickly replaced sothat the device constitutes a convenient, inexpensive and serviceable carrier for apparel, particularly adapted for automobile tourists use.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A travel bag comprising front and back members, the front member having a longitudinal opening, and the back having a pocket on its inner face accessible through the front opening, and a strap having its ends attached to one of the front members forming a hanger, also accessible through the front opening.
2. A travel bag comprising front and back members, the front member having a longitudinal opening, and the back having a pocket on its inner face accessible through the front opening, a strap having its ends attached to one of the front members form-' ing a hanger, also accessible throu h the front opening, and a sheet removal ly attachedto said front member to form a cover for articles suspended from said hanger.
In testimony whereof I aflix ture.
MARY o. HOLBROOK.
