  • Figs. 11 and 12 show further possibilities of construction.
  • each frame half consists of two arms 3 and 4 extending the entire height ofthe bag
  • the. cooperating frame arms 3, 4 are gripped with the hand below their point of intersection, that is near the middle, and pressed the one towards the other. Owingto the leverage thus exerted the webs 6 are forced apart and the bag is partly opened. If the webs 6 are then gripped with the hand and moved further apart, the bag can be completely opened.
  • the upper ends of the two cooperating arms may be set ofi on their opposite surfaces, so that the two arms have each a step-shaped catch 93 or r (Fig. 2) which interengage when the frame is closed.
  • the inner arms 3 may also each be provided with a catch 1' and the outer arms 4 with a corresponding enlargement 70 (Fig. 3).
  • the enlargement 70 forms a kind of ramp surface when closing the frame, said surface slightly spreading the arms during the closing movement, so that the outer arms snap into the catches in the inner arms under stronger spring action.
  • the cooperating arms 3,4 may, for the same purpose, each be rovided with a kink or bent out portion 7 ig. 6) instead of the steps 7' 15.
  • the bag (Figs. 4 to 6) consists in known manner of two walls forming the sides and bottom and united. on the narrow sides by gussets to complete the bag shape.
  • the frame is so'arranged, that the hinge oint lies on the bottom of the bag.
  • the we s 6 are fixed to the upper edge of the bag walls 1.
  • the bag is closed and opened in the manner described in connection with Fig. 1.
  • the bag When passing from the open position (Fig. 4) into the closed position (Fig. 5), the bag is gripped at the portion carrying the webs 6 or laterally thereof at the upper ends of the 100 arms 3, 4 and pressed together whereby the 7 frames are closed.
  • the webs 6. may project from the walls of the bag and be shaped so as to form an angular, circular or curved handle.
  • the walls of the bag may also surround the webs 6 only at separate points or only near the gussets 2,

  • sleeve 8 may conslst of several part sleeves between which free sections are left.
  • the frame arms may be of any desired cross section, for example they may consist of round or flat bars. However, the middle portion of the armslis preferably flattened also when using round bars, so that the two According to Fig. 8 the two arms 3 and 4 of one side gusset are of unequal length, the arm 4' for example being extended at an intermediate point within the range of the other arms 3 so that the hinge point 5 which is then arranged laterally connects a short arm 3 to a longer arm 4.
  • the arms 3 and 4 are connected by a resilient intermediate part 10, the resiliency being arranged either in the sense of the closing movement or of the opening movement of the bag. If the resilient intermediate elements tend to close the bag arrangements must be provided for holding the bag in a certain opened position. This may for example be effected by providing a catch 1- on the arms 4, into which catch the counter arm 3 snaps ansl thus holds the bag in open position (Fig. 10
