wLglann e A TTORNEY Patented Jan. 20, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT oFFECE Y WILLIAM c. HIERING, F NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO J. E. MERG-OTT COM- PANY, 0F NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, A CORPORATION or DELAWARE BAG-FRAME FAC ING Application filed June 24,

such frames are subject to distortion, due to climatic changes and variations in temper..- ture, are not well adapted to receive fastening means and furnish frail connections at their hinged joints.

It is therefore one object of the present invention to provide a metallic frame faced on its outer sides exposed to view with a covering or veneer of celluloid or the like which may be colored in accordance with fancy.

A further feature is in the provision of adequate securing means for connecting the outer ornamental layer or facing to the metal portions of the frame.

These and other advantageous objects are accomplished by the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a material portion of this description and in which Figure 1 is a top plan 'iew showing a conventional type of hand-bag frame as made in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the same, parts being broken away to show the construction.

Figure 7 is a fragmentary side View of a facing, showing a modification of the connecting member as inserted therein.

Figure 12 is a fragmentary side elevational View of the metal support frame as used in connection with Figure 11.

1 Figure 13 is a transverse sectional view of the metal frame and its facing in a completed or united condition. 7

In the fabrication of these frames, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the metal portions 15 and 16 are of channel shape cross-section, bent into the usual U-shape and connectedin the ordinary manner at their lower extending ends by hinge joints 17 and brazed and otherwisesecured on the upper elements of both frame members 15- and 16 are rigid clips 18 and 18 their inner adjacent ends being raised and bent to support spherical elements 19and 19 which co-act to retain the two side members in clamped relation.

In each of the channel frame-sides, in the outer elementsof the channels, are a series of small circular perforations 20, the frames otherwise being of ordinary appearance and construction throughout. Y

The ornamental cover facings are either moulded into shape or cut from a sheet of the selected material, the profile being in accord-' ance with the shape of the frame sides and their edges inwardly curved so that no rough corners occur.

igure 11 is a view similar to Figure 6, but

The facings 21 are provided with circular recesses 22 formed in register with the axes of the openings 20, and extend partially into'ff conical flange of the fastener is illustrated in Figure 4 and consists merely of flattening the conical portion after insertion within the recess, such operation forcing the edges of the flange into the material, causing them to become firmly embedded therein and without distortion to the facing.

The third step, consists merely of inserting the tubular elements 23 into the openings in the side frame and thereafter upsetting the ends as shown in Figure 5 thus firmly riveting the facings tothe frames.

In the modification shown in Figures 7 and 8, a tubular post or rivet 25, is used, the same having an annularly flanged flat, head 26, suited to tightly fit within the recesses 22, and a washer-like element 27 is passed over the stems 25 filling acolinter-bored cavity 28 in the casing, this washer being secured by cement so as to, hold the postfirmly, the samev being afterwards passed through the openings in the bag-frame-and clinched or riveted on the inner side of the adjacent portion of the channel as before.

In the modification shown in Figure 9 two layers of facings are used, the outer, desig nated by the numeral 30, being of pearl or like substance and is provided with a circular recess 32 in which are set the. heads 33 of tubular rivets 3twhich pass throughopenings of appropriate diameter in the inner facing 31, of celluloid, this inner facing being used for the purpose ofproviding-a cushion effect for the pearl facing and may. be. colored as desired.

Figures 11 to 13 inclusive show an outer facing 35 in which is embedded the heads 36 of studs 37provided-w-ith enlarged heads 38; which project a definite distance from the inner sideofthe facing.

The side frames 15 are provided with'cincular openings 39, through which the heads 38 of the stud may freely pass. The stems 37 of the studs engaged in slots 40 extending outwardly from the openings 39, inthe direction of the connecting elements between the channcl'membersof the frame sides.

It will be seen in these Views that the facings are interchangeably engaged and removable at will. Although the foregoing is generally descriptive of the invention, it will-be apparent that minor changes may bemade in the construction without the exercise of'invention or conflicting with the scope of the claims herewith appended to,

Having-thus described my inventions, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is n 1 In combination with a bag frame memher. a condensate product facing provided with arecess. on the inner side thereof, a conhead being adapted to be spread in the recess to cut into and become embedded in the portion of the facing forming the lowermost wall of the recess to rigidly hold the conical head in place, said stem flattened out to engage with andhave holding engagement with the bag frame member to secure the facing thereto.

2. In combination with metallic bag frame members, non-metallic facings for said members, said facings having recesseson the inner sides thereof, securing members provided with conical heads adapted to be spread within said recesses to be securely embedded therein, and stems on said members adapted to engage with the bag frame members to secure the facings thereto.
