GARMENT BAG Application filed August 15, 1929. Serial No. 386,100. g s
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in garment bags, and has for its principal object to provide means for repelling and preventing the entrance of moths into the garment bag.
It is appreciated that many different types of garment bags have been placed upon the market which contain means for protecting the garments placed therein against damage by moths. In these past types of bags the moth preventative has been placed at various places within the bag, other than what I consider the most advantageous location,
which is, adjacentthe entrance opening of 16 the bag. This objection of the other garment bags is due to the fact that the moth preventative does not serve to effectively repel the entrance of the moth into the bag as the moth is only affected by the fume after it has entered the same. It is therefore the purpose of my invention to prevent the entrance of the moth through the normally closed entrance opening.
A further object of this invention is to provide a garment bag with one opening and a container for moth balls attached at the opening.
A further object of this invention is to provide a garment bag with an opening in the side and a perforated moth container attached at the side opening.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts which will be fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a garment bag.
Figure 2 is a section taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a section taken on line 33 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a detail showing the fastening and the moth ball container.
Referring now to the drawing by characters of reference, the numeral 1 designates a garment bag made of any suitable textile material. The garment bag is of the ordinary kind adapted to hold several articles of clothing and is provided with a top 2, and a bottom 3, made of the same textilematerial. The bottom is usually reinforced with a stiff material as cardboard.
The top of the bag is'provided with a wire framework 5, this is for the purpose of supporting the bag and keeping it in'a box like fashion. r
Two sides of the framework are connected by a zig-zag wire 6'to receive'the hangers of the garments to be supported within the bag, to the center of which at 8, a hook 7 is attached by welding or otherwise by which the bag may be supported in a hanging position. I
The hook 7 is affixed so that it passes through the top 2. The opening in the top is reinforced by an eyelet 9. I
The garment bag is provided with an opening 10 through which the clothing is inserted. The opening is in the center of the side or any other place desired. In this instance it divides the side into overlapping side portions 11 and 12.
The portions 11 and 12 are held together by means of fasteners 13, or any other means. In this instance there is shown snap fasteners having a projection or head 14 and a cavity or socket 15 into which the head or projection fits with a spring-like snap.
To one ofthe side portions there is attached by sewing or otherwise a longitudinal pocket or container 16, made of any porous material such as scrim or the like, and which extends the approximate length of the side opening. s
This pocket 16 is sewed to the portion 11 at 17 and also at 18 where the binding 21 holds the pocket to the portion 11.
The pocket is closed at the bottom 19 and open at the top 20. Into the pocket 16 there are inserted naphtholene moth balls 22 through the entire height and owing to the porous nature of the material of the pocket the aroma or fumes extend throughout the entire entrance to the bag. In this manner the moths attempting to enter the bag as indicated by the arrow in Figure 4 of the drawing, are intercepted by the aroma and are thus prevented from entering the bag.
In the course of time, the moth balls 22 lose their strength and eventually evaporate,
at which time the same may be readily replaced by a fresh supply so that the bag may be maintained at its maximum efliciency at 5 all times.
While I have shown and described what I deem to be the most desirable embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that many of the details may be varied without in any way de- 10 parting from the spirit of my invention, and I, therefore do not limit myself to the exact details of construction herein set forth, nor to anything less than the whole of my invention limited only by the appended claim.
15 Having thus described the invention, what I claim as-new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is r v A garment bag comprising a flexible elongated body having an'opening extending ap proximately the length of one of the longitudinal walls thereof, separable fastening means for closing said opening, and a vertically disposed pocket of porous material open at its top and closed at its bottom carried by the inside of the wall in which said opening is. provided and disposed adjacent said opening and extending the length of the same for the reception of a column of moth balls, the fumes of which are adapted to pass out through said porous material and act as a repellant against. the entrance of moths through said opening.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
, BERTHA WIESENFELD.
