HAND BAG.

Application led November 26, 1927. i Serial No. 235,838.

l enforce the Celluloid; to provide a iioatingv engagement with the means for holding the re-enforcement in the celluloid frame; to avoid a multiplicity of rivets or the like; to enable use of the same type of frame to be utilized with any one of a-variety of materials constituting the pouch; to enable the use of machine clamping of the material; to secure rapid and easy assembly of the pouch to the frame; to minimize the operations of securing the parts together; to avoid addition of any bulk to the present-day frame; to secure simplicity of construction and operation; and to obtain other advantages and results as may be brought out in the followinfr description.

eferring to the accompanying drawing in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views Figure l is a side elevation of a hand bag embodying my invention, one end portion of the bag being broken away'for disclosing the mode of attachment of parts;

Figure 2 is an end view of the bag;

Figure 3 is an end view of the pouch be- 40 fore the frame is applied; i

Figure 4 is a fragmentary face view of one end portion of the bag, looking at the far frame, a portion thereof being broken away;

Figure 5 isa vertical sectional view perpendicular to the general plane of the bag, taken on line 5--5 of Figure 4, showing one of the retaining pins; and

Figures 6, .7 and 8 are sectional views of the upper part of the bag, showing successive steps in the assembly of the bag.

In .the specific embodiment of the invention illustrated in said drawing, the reference numeral l indicates the pouch in gen- 65 eral, which, by virtue of the invention, may

be of any desired material,l such as hide of one sort or another, cloth or silk, and so on. This pouch provides the usual opening, the edge of which is secured in a frame 2 of suitable material, such as Celluloid, and any number of other non-ci'impable materials of which bag frames are now made, and in any plain or fanciful shape which the manufacturer may make through preference or otherwise. Bags of this general type have heretofore been made, that is, bags 'having pouches the opening of which has its margin secured in a frame, and I accordingly deem it within the limits of my invention to employ any of these old types, shapes or styles of pouches and frames as may vmeet the desires or needs of the interested parties. For purposes of clarity, I have shown herein a rather conventional type of bag, very commonly used and simple in design, the frame comprisin essentially a pair of U- shaped members inged together on a common axis at theends of the legs of the U- members. These U-shaped members, on the edges thereof facing inwardly of the U, are provided wit-hggrooves, asheretofore, designed to receive the marginal edge of the opening of the pouch 1. These grooves have been identified herein by reference numerals 3. In the manufacture of Celluloid frame bags as carried out heretofore, the edges of the pouch have been glued, riveted and otherwise attached in these grooves, but with varying degrees of insecurity, for glue dries and fails to hold, rivets tear the pouch material, and so on.

By the present invention, before the pouch is applied to the frame, I attach a piping to the edge which is to be secured to the frame, one design of piping 4 being illustrated herein and shown as substantially of a diamond shape in cross-section with one of the acute corner edges cut away admitting the marginal edge of the pouch, as clearly shown in Figure 6. Thereafter, the opposite sides of the piping are pinched or crimpedtoward each other, thereby securely gripping or clinching the ouch material and holding it for substantially the entire length of the said edge, (see Fig. 7). Next, the edge of the pouch with the attached piping is inserted in the groove of the noncrimpable frame as shown in Figure 8, and held therein by suitable means, such as a retaining Pin er, and a lvarlety of other materials comprising the pouches to the same type of frames with no likelihood of ulling loose in spots or tearing the materia In practice,

likewise, the pouch and piping are so ycut and proportioned as to enable the piping to be inserted entirely within the grooves of the frame, and properly shaped so as to slide into place very readily. By virtue of the l cross-sectional shape of the piping, avery Azo considerable stren th may be secured by a comparatively lig t metal, and I ind in practice that no other fastening is required than to just' hold the piping at the ends of the U-legs from sliding out of the grooves. However, I may employ as many retaining pins 5 as found desirable or necessary. By use of retaining pins at the ends of the U- legs of the piplng, beneath the ends of the salme, I avoid the necessity of holes through t e the rilling operation on the frame for the holes to said pins before assembly of the pouch in the frame, although it is to be understood that this drillin ma be performed after assembly if pre erred).Y

Hand bags have been previously made employing a piping on the pouch material, that plplng being heldin a frame of crim ablev or bendable material, such as metal. ow-

'ever, such construction was not discovered as applicable in connection with frames of non-.crimpable or breakable materials, such as celluloid and other materials which cannot be bent without breaking or being other-` wise injured. My invention accordin ly includesthe discovery of the adaptabi ity of instrumentalitiesto secure certain results. I I

. have discovered a way to permanently secure a ouch material to a celluloid or noncrimpa le frame. My means furthermore includes a floating engagement betweenthe eelluloidv frame and the metal piping', as thepins 5 are shown beneath the ends of the piping which abuts thereagainst. Thus the connection is not so rigid that a blow, such -as dropping the bag, would cause the celluiping, and am also enabled to performK amount of possible movement when the frame is under an abnormal stress'enabling the outer frame to bend slightly with riesp'ect to the inner frame.

AObviously other detail changes and' modiications may be made inthe construction, assembly and usey of myvimproved hand bag,

and I do'not wish to beunderstood as limit-A ingvmyself-to the exact construction shown or described except asset forth. in the following claims when construed in the light of the prior art.-

\- Having thus described the invention, I claim 2,-

1. A construction of the character de.

scribed, comprising a grooved frame of breakable material, a pouch, a piping of. crimpable material clinching the margin of said pouch, said crimpable iping being inserted in the lgroove 'of said reakable frame )l in floating engagement therewith, whereby the ends of said crimpable piping are floatingly engaged in abutting relation to the lateral portions of said breakable frame, and a pin extending transversely through the breakable frame, said piping being. in {loating engagement therewith.

i2. A- construction of the character described, comprising a grooved frame of ,breakable material, a pouch, a piping of.

crimpable material clinching the: margin of said pouch, said crimpable piping being inserted-in the'groove of said breakable frame in iioat-ing engagement therewith, whereby the ends of saiddcrimpable piping are ioatingly engaged in abutting relation to the lateral portions of said breakablc frame, and.

a pin extendinginto said Vgroove beneath said crimpable frame and the said crimp-k able frame being' in abutting engagement with'said pin.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto aflixed my signature at New York, county of New York, and State of New York, this 23rd dayof November. 1927. n
