BAG
Application filed .Tune 9, 1927.
This invention relates to bags and more particularly to the means by which a ladys hand bag may be carried.
The objects of the invention are to provide a a carrying means which will lie against the bag out of the way when not in use; to provide a carrying means which will automatically return to its position against the bag when released by the user; to enable a carrying means to be employed with the visible part thereof of substantial material, such as leather, so as to enhance the appearance of the bag and provide apparent and actual strength and wearing qualities; to provide a 1 construction which can be assembled readily during manufacturing of the bag; to secure simplicity of construction and operation; and to obtain other advantages and results as may be brought out in the following description.
Referring to the accompanying drawing in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views;
Figure 1 is a perspective of a bag embodying my invention; and
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of one section of the bag taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1. V
In the specific embodiment of the invention illustrated in said drawing, the reference numeral 1 indicates a bag in general having hinged frame sections 2, 3, normally held closed by any suitable catch means 4, as is usual in the construction of ladies bags. For
purposes of clarity, the frame section 3 and the attached body portion 5 of the bag will be referred to herein as the front of the bag, although it will be understood that this is a relative term and I do not confine myselfthereto. By reference to Figure 2, I would point out that the body portion 5 of the bag preferably provides an outer facing 6 and inner lining) 7, the edges of both the facing and lining eing included in the frame 3 as is customary in bag manufacture.
On one side of the bag, and in the present showing and in the above noted terminology, on the front of the bag, is a holding means or handle 8 wherein the present invention inheres more particularly. This handle pref- 13, 13 may be secured to the face of the bag Serial No. 197,627.
erably is a strip of leather or other material of appropriate strength and character, said. strip being shown as extending lengthwise of the bag and entering through vertical slots 9 near each end of the bag so as to pass between the front facing 6 and lining 7. This entry of the handle or holding means 8 is with suificient freedom to enable the said handle to slide longitudinally ofitself into and out of said slots. Consequently, when the handle is not in use it may be caused to lie flat against the front facing 6 of the bag out ofthe way and at such time enhancing the appearance of the bag. When it is desired to use the handle it may be drawn out from the slots suflicient for the user to insert her hand between said handle and the front of the bag and thus carry the bag by use of the handle.
In order to prevent the handle from being entirely removed from said slot 9 and also toreturn the handle into its retracted or flat position against the front of the bag, I preferably provide aflexible attaching means 10 for each end of the handle. As preferred, said attaching means 10 is an elastic strip one end of which is sewn into the seam 11 constituting a part of the usual bag construction, and the other end of which is sewn into the handle as by stitches 12. In this connection .it is to be notedthatthe handle is preferably doubled over at its longitudinal edges so as to provide a neat and attractive construction,
the double edges being sewn by said stitches 12, and preferably the elastic strip 10 is sewn into the handle at the same time as this doubled edge is sewn.
If so desired, suitable means such as tabs to cover over slots 9 and by forming a part of A the design on the bag add to the appearance of the entire construction. These tabs 13 are a bag having a substantial handle which may be of leather or other suitable material and provide elastic attachment for said handle which does not show and can therefore be of very stout material so as to be effective and durable. The tension created by this elastic attaching means is suflicient to draw the handle back into the slots when the handle is released, and is also suflicient to provide a considerable frictional engagement of the handle with the users hand when inserted between said handle and the bag so the support of the bag will not have to be held entirely by gripping the bag or handle.
Obviously detail changes and modifications may be made in the construction and use of my improved bag, and I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the exact structure shown, except as set forth in the following claims when construed in the light of the prior art.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. A bag having a handle, said handle having its ends hidden from view and movable with respect to the bag, and attaching means likewise hidden from view and extending from the end of said handle to a fixed portion of the bag and attached to said fixed portion of the bag.
2. A bag having a handle, said handle having its ends hidden from view, and elastic attaching means likewise hidden from view and extending from the end of said handle to a fixed portion of the bag and attached to said fixed portion of the bag.
3. A bag having an end seam and a handle, said handle having its ends hidden from view, and attaching means likewise hidden from view and extending from the end of said handle to said end seam and attached thereby to the bag.
4. A bag having a pair of separated slots in the outer wall of the body portion of said bag, a handle inserted at its ends in said slots and slidable with respect thereto, and means for causing said handle to normally lie flatwise against said body portion of the bag for the portion of said handle exposed to view between said slots and with the end portions of the handle slid into said slots.
5. A bag having a pair of separated slots in the outer wall of the body portion of said bag, a handle inserted at its ends in said slots, and elasticmeans drawing upon the ends of said handle retaining the same within said slots and holding the portion of said handle exposed between said slots normally positioned fiatwise against said bag and obtaining a binding contact with the users hand between said handle and the bag.
MORRIS WHITE.
