UNITED STATES LUCY COTTON AMENT, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

BECEPTACLE.

Application filed July 21,

My resent invention relates to a bag or reccptac e of the shopping type and to a tie therefor.

The invention contemplates the provislon of a bag of paper, fabric or the l ke of any desired quality, having a flap at the top which folds over against the body portion. Both body and flap are provided with two pairs of aligning eyelets, to wit, one pair on a horizontal line and at the extreme ends of the flap and body, the other pair located between ,the first pair and in a vertical line. Threaded through the horizontally located eyelets in both flap and body is a tie member of any desired material, which is provided with a pointed portion to facilitate threading. This tie is then passed from front to back through one of the vertical eyelets and to one side of the horizontal strand at the body back, over this strand and then through the other vertical eyelet from back to front. This effectively and simply ties the flap over the body, the loose tie loop serving as a handle.

The invention further consists in the novel arrangement, construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and shown in the drawings.

In the drawings Fig. 1 is a front view of a device embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is a fragn'iental view showing the flap open.

Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation.

Referring now to the embodiment illustrated, I have indicated a bag of heavy paper, as an example, having a body 1 formed by folding a sheet upon itself to form a back 1 and a front 1". The front and back portions are secured together at the bottom and sides in any desired manner.

A flap 2 as a part of the back 1 is provided and is adapted to overlie the front 1".

Back 1, front 1 and flap 2 are provided with aligning apertures preferably reinforced by eyelets forming two pairs, one pair 3* in a horizontal line at the ends of the body and flap, and the other pair 3 between the eyelets of the first pair and on a vertical line. It is to be noted that a line joining the pair 3* lies substantially between the eyelets of the pair 3b In order to securely fasten the flap to the body so that the contents of the bag may not be accidentally displaced, I provide a tie element comprising a strand 4 of any desired 1927. Serial No. 207,511.

material, threaded through the eyelets 3 in the body from back to front, then through the eyelets 3 in the flap from front to back. The ends of the tie 4 are then secured together preferably as at 5 so that a point is provided. This point may be made as by whipping or by means of wax or the like applied to the ends.

In threading the tie to locking position, the flap is folded over the body and the tie pulled tight from the front. This makes one horizontal strand 6 at the back between the eye lets 3. The point 5 is now passed through one of the eyelets of the pair 8" from front to rear, and then back from rear to front through the other eyelet of the pair over the strand 6. Thus the horizontal strand 6 is held by a vertical strand 7. The loop 8 may serve as a handle.

In order to raise the flap, the reverse steps are performed though leaving the horizontal strand 6 and the ends of the tie loose. In this position, the flap may be raised and access had to the interior of the bag.

It will be apparent that such a bag and tie may be made from any desired materials of an desired quality or color combination.

guch a bag provides a secure tie yet allowing ready access when desired.

The entire device is of a cheap simple construction yet which by ornamentation or by using appropriate materials may be made to be of a distinctly artistic and aesthetic nature.

What I claim is:

1. A bag having front and back walls, two pairs of apertures near the top edge thereof, a line joining the apertures of one pair intersecting a line joinin the apertures of the other pair, a tie threaded through one pair of apertures forming a strand therebetween. and through the other pair forming a second strand overlying that portion of the first strand lying between the first mentioned apertures.

2. A bag having a body including front and back walls, a tie therefor passing through aligning apertures at the side edges of the body walls; a second set of aligning apertures between the edge apertures through which the tie passes in an opposite direction, and a third set of aligning apertures through which the tie passes in the first mentioned direction.

3. A bag having a body including front and back walls, a set of aligning apertures at the side edges of the body walls, a tie for said bag passing through said apertures in a single strand, two sets of aligning apertures between the first set, the tie assing through each of the two sets in a double strand.

4. A bag having a body including front and back walls, a set of aligning apertures at the side edges of the body walls, a tie for said bag passing through said apertures in a single strand, two sets of aligning apertures between the firstset, the tie passing through each of the two sets in a double strand, the double strand overlying the single strand.

5. A bag having a body including back and front walls, a set of aligning apertures at the side edges thereof, a tie forming a strand extending from one edge aperture to the other at the rear of the bag, said tie passing through rear and front walls, a set of aligning apertures between the edge apertures, the tie passing therethrough from. front to back, a third set of aligning apertures, said tie passing therethrough from rear to front, the tie strand between the second and third set of apertures overlying the first mentioned strand.

6. A bag having a body including back and front walls, a set of aligning apertures at the side edges thereof, a tie forming a'strand extending from one edge aperture to the other at the rear of the bag, said tie passing through rear and front walls, a set of aligning apertures between the edge apertures, the tie passing therethrough from front to back, a third set of aligning apertures, said tie passing therethrough from rear to front, the tie strand between the'second and third set of apertures overlying the first mentioned strand, the tie passing through the edge apertures in a single strand, and through the second and third sets of apertures in a double strand.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature.
