Description
April 28, 1931. A. E. STUPECKY BOWLING BAG Filed March 18, 1927 avweuto'c ADOZPH E. STUPEC/f Y Patented Apr. 28, 1931 ADOLPH E. STUPEGKY, F RACINE, WISCONSIN OWLIN BAG Application filed March 18, 1927. Serial No. 176,337.
This invention relates to bags and more particularly to bags for carrying bowlingballs.
' Most of the people who regularly engage in the sport of bowling own their own bowling balls and carry the balls with them when they bowl on different bowling alleys. To carry the ballsaround requires the use of a w bag becausethe ball is very awkward to carry without some special form of container. A large majority of bowlers also find that it is very advantageous to their game to use special bowling shoes while bowling. The shoes and the balls are used at the same time and are generally carried around together. It has been the practice in the past to provide separate containers for the'ball'an'd the shoes.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a bowling bag in which a ball and a pairof bowling shoes'may be carried simultaneously.
A further object of theinvention-is to provide a' waterproof bagwhich is very strong and adapted for carrying heavy articles such as bowling balls.
Another object of the invention is to provide a bag having a compartment fora bowling ball and a separate compartment in which bowling paraphernalia may be advantageously stored.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the improved bowling bag hereinafter described and particularly defined in the appended claims.
"The various features ofthe invention are illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, inwhich:- i
Fig. 1 is a perspective view in elevatlon of a bag embodying the-preferred form of the invention and showing the cover'in open position;
Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the bag; Fig. 3 is a view in side elevation of the bag illustrating a ball and a pair of bowllng shoes positioned therein;
Figs. 4, 5 and 6 illustrate the designof shoes of the materials whichare use-d in constructing the bag. I
The bag embodying the preferred form of the invention is designed primarily for carrylnga bowling ball and to provide a pocket in which a sweater shoes or otherparaphernalia may be conveniently carried.
A full size bowling ball is very heavy and therefore in providing a container for such a ball it is desirable that the ball should be tightly held in the container so that it will not freely move therein. Furthermore, the container must be very strong in 'orderto' hold the ball and should be water proof and dust proof to protect the ball. Preferably, the bag is made of a double texture water proof duck material but other materials such as textile fabrics, leather and the like may be used in its construction. The bag is formed with a hemispherical bottom portion to contain the ball and a pocket above the ball-for the bowling shoes, a sweater or any, other paraphernalia which it is intended to carry. The bag has a cover on the top and a handle is secured to the cover by which the bag may be carried.
1 In order to secure the desired shape for the bag it is built up of a series of strips which are suitably shaped to give the proper form and these strips are sewed together. The back of the bag is made of three strips 10 similar to the shape of strips illustrated in Fig. 6; These strips are long strips having parallel sides, with the lower end of the strip having a rounded taper as at 12. The front of the bag is made of three strips 14 having substantially the shape of the strips illustrated in Fig. 4. The strips 14 are 35 shorter than the strips 10 because the strips 1 0 form the back ofthe bag and the cover 16' for thebag. The strips 14 form the front of the bag and aflap l8 which'is arranged 0 to fold inwardly over the top of the bag. 9 Side strips 20 having substantially the same shape asstrips 10'are illustrated in Fig. 5. Thestrips 20 form they-sides of the bag and the upper end of the strips provide flaps 22 that fold inwardly over the pocket in the top of the bag. When the strips are sewed. together bydouble stitchingthe upper parallel edges of the strips form acylinder. The lower tapered ends of the strips when sewed strip of sideof. the; bag.
against the reinforcing strip 32;
together form the hemispheric bottom for the bottom of the bag.
In making the bag the three front strips are sewn together; and the three back strips are sewn together; then the front strips and the back strips are connected by the side strips. After. all of the strips are sewn to.- gether a. circular; reinforcing piece 015 leather. 24 is attached to the bottom of the bag, in order to cover the points of connection of all of the tapered ends of the=strips If desired, a similar circular strip of duck may be secured inside the bag to reinforce the bottom of the bag.
The bag is carried from the cover and therefore a. very securefastening; means is required. to attach. the. free. end of the cover tot-he. body. portion of the bag, in order to property, supporttheweight. To accomplishthisa reinforcing strip-25-is secured near. the
topof the three front strips 14,. and studs 26 are passed through the. material of the reiniiorcing strip. 25, and the strips 14 and are clinched under washers mounted. on the. in.-
A. series of buttons. 28. are mounted in the upper edge of the: three back strips LO.. These-buttons. are provided with thewell known; spring gripping device. which. passes over the studs 26 tosecurely lock. the cover to; thebody portion: of the bag.
With the b'ag made of heavy duck ahandle 3.0; isusually made of. heavy duck and this handle'is;securedtothe outside of the cover 16.. To provide a handle which'will. support the weight reqpiredby thebag a reinforcing duck 32 is secured. to the inner face. of the cover and. attached to the back. strips 10. The reinforcing strip 32v covers and. holds in. position a metal strip. 34L which is provided near. its ends with holes:3'6-. At the opposite. ends of. the. metal strip 34 slots. are. made hroughthereinforcing strip and back strips" 10 and. the ends of the handleare passed, through the slots. and fold inwardly Rivets 38 are: then passed through the handle, reinforcin-g strip and back strips 10 to. securely locli: the handle in; position.
The upper edges of: the, front strips 1.4,. side strips: 2.0., andcover 16:. are preferably covered. with. abinding strip which is sewn position. The two outer back strips 110. are preferably rounded as indicated in the dhtt-ed line 40 ofFi'g: 6, in order to provide a better appearance. to the cover. The upper ends of. the side strips 20- are preferably shaped as indicated in the dotted'line' 42 of Fig. 5 for appearance. The upper ends of' the outer front strips 14' are preferably rounded as indicated in the dotted line a l fhr the purpose of appearance.
With the construction described above it is apparent that, a bag of; neat appearance and strong construction is provided which is-well atdaptedi forcarrying: a spherical ball and any other articles which may be inserted in the pocket above the ball. The construction of the cover and handle, furthermore, provide a bag which is easy to open and close and which is strong and well adapted for carrying heavy articles.
