Application filed August 6, 1926. Serial No. 127,495
This invention relates to hand bags,purses and like containers, particularly to those of an ornamental type as used by Women for carrying money, handkerchiefs, cards and especially small accessories for the toilet as compacts, powder puffs, rouge and the like.
All such containers would be regarded as quite incomplete Without a mirror by which the effect of minor toilet appliances can be observed, as well as the condition of the hair, hat and other articles of clothing.
The ordinary hand mirrors in such receptacles posses certain disadvantages amongst which is the necessity to opening the bag, upsetting its contents and closing it after use; the possibility of losing the mirror by placing it on some object and forgetting to return it to its place, the chance of dropping the mirror and fracturing the same, all of which may and do frequently occur in practice due to the fact that the mirror is usual- 1y a distinctly separate entity from the bag.
It is therefore one of the advantages of the present invention to provide a mirror which is permanently attached to the bag at all times, indivisible therefrom, and is wholly irrespective of the type, style, shape or size of the bag.
A further feature is in the provision of means whereby the mirror is instantly accessible without opening the bag or in any way disturbing its contents and to replace the mirror after use as quickly as it was produced.
Other objects are to provide a mirror of large size relatively to the bag, arrange the same to occupy a minimum of space when ensheathed therein, and to positively and safely secure it from accidental displacement.
These several advantageous features are accomplished by the novel and simple construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, constituting an important part of this disclosure, and in which Fig. 1, is a front elevational View of a conventional type of bag.
Fig. 2, is an end view thereof.
Fig. 3, is a fragmentary front view of the same showing the mirror in an extended po sition.
The numeral 10 generally designates the body of a conventional bag or purse having an overlying flap 11 on which is mounted a handle 12.
The inside of the bag 10 contains a plurality of pockets 13 between the rear fold 14 of which and the back of the body is 21. mirror 15 secured on a substantially triangular frame 16 having an arcuate upper edge, this frame being mounted on a fabric backing 17.
The backing is pivoted at 18 to the rear of the body 10, preferably at the lower right hand corner thereof and has fixed to its upper, inner corner a flexible tape 19, the end 20 of which is permanently anchored to the rear Wall of the purse near its opposite end;
obviously the tape may be elastic. Between the outer corner of the backing 17 and min ror frame is fixed a tab 21 having a snap fastener element 22 engaged with a mating element 23 on the fold 1 1.
When it is desired to use the mirror 15, it is merely necessary to release the fastener element 22 from the element 23 and by pulling the tape 21 outward and downward the mirror will pivot at 18 and project beyond the body of the bag, the tape 19 acting to limit the extension of the device.
To replace the mirror, the same is slid intermediate the rear Wall of the body and the fold let and the snap fastener readjusted to its securing position.
Although. the foregoing is descriptive of the preferred embodiment of the invent-ion, it will be apparent that minor change-s may be made in its construction, without the exercise of invention or conflicting with the scope of the claims hereto appended.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A purse having a longitudinal compartment open at one end, a mirror provided with a bracing, means for pivoting said backing within the lower front end portion of said compar-tment,a tape connection on said backing to limit its withdrawal, and a tab on the outer edge of said backing by which the mirror may be actuated.
2. A purse having a longitudinal pocket open at one end, a flexible sheet of material substantially triangular in shape pivoted at its apex within said pocket to swing into or out of the pocket, a flexible tape connecting 10 limit the outward movement of the sheet, a
tab by which the sheet may be withdrawn, a mirror fixed on the front space of said sheet, and c0-0perative means on said purse and said tab to secure the mirror when within said pocket.
Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 19 day of J uly I926.
