  • a major lining 10 and a minor lining 11 are secured, these linings being preferably of light fabrics.
  • the major lining 10 is of the same width as the main piece 9 and is approxlmately two thirds of the length thereof, while the minor lining 11 which is also ofthe same Width is about one third of the length ⁇ of the main piece 9, or a little more.
  • the two linings 10 and 11 and the main piece 9 are secured to a piping strip 12 by a line of stitches 13, so that in the combined piece the raw edges will be outward, while the bead of the piping will be inward.
  • the major lining 10 is left free for a short length of its inner end so as to provide a fiap or free portion 14, and to thereby leave a gap or opening between it and the main piece 9.
  • stifi'ening means 16 are secured to the main lining 10, for the ultimate bottom of the bag.
  • means are only shown in Figs. 3 and 4 but it will be understood that the stiienin means areapplied to the main lining 1 0 be ore the bag is completed.
  • the stifl'ening means consists of a piece of cardboard or the like, the same bein secured to the lining 10 and the bag bottomgby means of rivets 17, 18, so that in the completed bag the rivets 17 will be at one side of the bottom of the bag and the rivets 18 at the other side.
  • the edge ofthe flap 14 is turned over the stiifening means 16 so as to be secured by the same rivets 18. It will be understood that the stiifening means 16 are inserted into the pocket between the maj or L lining 10 and the main piece 9 but that it does not extend the full len h of the lining, so that it will coincide su stantially with the babottom when the bag is completed.
  • a strip 19 of flexible material such as leather or imitation leather, for forming the ends and top of the ultimate bag.
  • a lining fabric 2O of suitble material by means of side lxigs ofr stitches 21, the ends being unstitched at this oint in the manufacture of the bag.
  • the strip 19 and its lining 20 are formed at the ends into lobes 22.
  • a slot 23 is formed longitudinally of the strip 19 and lining 20 for constituting the mouth of the ultimate bag, and the mouth is defined by tapes 24 for the hookless fastening means 7, such tapes being stitched to the ad] acent edges of the strip 19.
  • the ends of the strip 19 and the lining 20 are left free so that the ends of the lining provide iaps 25.
  • Small pieces 26 of lining fabric are secured at oneV edge to the edge of the strip 19 so as to lie underneath the free iiaps 25.
  • the method of making the improved hand bag from the described main piece 9, strip 19 and attached pieces will be clear to those skilled in the art when it is stated that the improved hand bag is made Wrong side out in the first instance.
  • a suitable sewing machine is employed for stitching the strip 19 to the main piece 9 so that the attached pieces as Well will all be properly stitched together in seams such as shown in Figs. 7 and 14.
  • the edges of the pieces are placed together wrong side out and brought between the sides of a binding strip 27 of flexible material and secured by a line of stitching 28, the edges of the strip 19 and the main piece 9 being gradually brought together by hand as the bag is being stitched, so that when the said edges With the binding are all stitched together a bag will be produced wrong side out, With the seam as shown in Fig. 14.
  • the bottom stifiening means are applied after the pieces of the side walls ofthe h baare stitched together.
  • tapered stiifening means or card boards 29 are shown, the tapers thereof corresponding generally to the taper of the lobes 22 of the strip 19.
  • each stiffening board is provided with a recess 30 in its smaller end so that when each p stifening board or piece is fully inserted between each end of the strip 19 and lining20, the recess 30 will coincide more or less with the ends of the slot 23, so that there will be stitfening for a certain distance at each end of the slot as Well as to the extremities of the strip 19 and lining 20.
  • each stiffening board 29 its Wider end is tucked underneath the short piece of lining 26, and then the linings 20 and 26 tacked together at 31 so as to fully enclose .the stiiiening board as indicated in Fi 7, 1n which the bag is shown as having een turned.
  • the described parts of the bag having been thus assembled and finally stitched together With the bag Wrong side out, the bag may now be turned right side out to the shape shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4. It will be seen that the main piece 9 forms the bottom.
  • the bottom stiffening board 16 is secured and riveted in place after the bag has been turned right side out.
  • the end stltfening boards 29 are provided with extensions 32, 33, preferably composed of stili lengths of fiber board these extensions being connected therewith by means of pivots 34.
  • the extensions 32, 33 are located at both sides of the recess 30 in each stiffening means 29 and extending outwardly from the recess 30 or in the same dirction as the recess.
  • the said corners are thus preferably kept smooth, and it is apparent that due to the movable connection of the extensions 32, 33 with the stiifening means 29 they will move so as to allow the opening or closing movement of the mouth portions of the bag where the latter extend around the said corners of the bag.
  • the handles 5, 6 of the bag are preferably attached thereto during the act of stitching the pieces of the bag together wrong side out, so that the ends of the handles will be stitched within the sea-ms which connect the pieces of the bag together.
  • the handles will be intimately incorporated with the bag and can be conveniently folded down so as to overlap each other before the ends of the bag are folded down, the handles being below the ends of the bag when the bag is folded, as is clear from Fig. 2.
  • a piece 35 of flexible fabric is folded longitudinally and within it is placed a reinforcing strip .36 of card or fiber board, the free side edges of the piece of fabric beingl preferably then stitched together, and thereafter the ends of the said fa ric being turned over and thestrip 36 closed within the fabric by lines of stitching 37.
  • the strip'3t3 is sulliciently narrower than the folded piece of fabric 35 as to leave a side i length of the fabric unstiffened, to enable it to be stitched into the structure of the bag.
  • a hand bag comprising flexible. ends and mouth'portions, the mouth portions being presented edgewise towards each other, and extending from below the top of the bag and along the top, sides secured to the outer edges of the mouth portions forming the top of the bag, and the mouth portions defining a mouth for the bag, and stifening means substantially coextensive with the area of the ends and having recesses coinciding with the terminals of the mouth.
  • a hand bag comprising flexible ends having linings, mouth portions extending' from below the top of the bag and along the top, sides secured to the mouth portions, the mouth portions defining a mouth for the bag. and stiffening boards for the ends having recesses coinciding with the terminals of the .mouth, the boards being inserted between the linings and the ends.
  • a strip of flexible material for forming the ends and top of a bag, and a lining secured to the edges of the strip, thestrip and lining being longitudinally slotted to form a bag'- mouth, and the outer ends of the linin being free from the strip to provide gaps through los - openable and vclosable mouth extending from l end to end, and corner fulling extensions from which stiiening means .may be inserted to lie between the strip and lining.VV
