IMPROVEMENT IN TRUNK-CATCHES.

Specification forming part ofLettcrs Patent No. 192,355, dated June 26, 1877; application led May 21, 1877.

To all whom fit may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN VOGLER, of' Chicago, Cook county, Illinois, have invented an Improved Trunk-Catch, ot' which the f'ollowing is a specification:

Figure 1 is a front or face view of my improved trunk-catch. Fig. 2 is a. reverse or hack view ofthe saine, showing it opened.

Fig. 3 is a reverse or back view of the saine,-

showing it closed. Fig. 4 is a vertical central section thereof on the plane of the line c c, Fig. 3.

Similar letters ot' reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

rlhis invention relates to a new construction of trunlceatch, and more particularly to a new trunk. In the outer face of this shell is a circular recess or depression, a, within which the handle B is contained. rIhis recess serves to receive and prevent the handle from projecting and tearing ladies dresses, or other tender fabrics, that may come in contact with the shell. The handle B is rigidly mounted upon the outer end otl a. pin or arbor, C, which traverses the center ot' the cap or shell A, and y which, on its inner end, carries the catch-bolt D. 'lhis eatclrbolt is contained within a recess, b, which is formed on thc inner side otl on the bolt D, rides on a shoulder, e, of the' spring, and the body of the bolt is, by the spring, thrown against the wall ot the recess b, as in Fig. 2, so that thus the catch is properly confined in the desired position; but when closed to the hook F ofthe trunk-lid, as in Fig.- 3, the bolt is, by the springE, thrown against a projecting stop, j', whichis within the recess b, as shown.

I claim as my inventionrlhc combination of the shell or cap A, which has the recess a on its outer face and the recess b on its inner face, with the handle B, which is placed in said recess a, and with the arbor C and catch-bolt D, the handle and bolt being both rigidly united to the arbor, but on opposite sides ofthe shell A, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The combination ot' the shell or cap A, havin g recess b and projecting stop f, with the vibrating bolt D, and with the spring E torming shoulder e, substantially as herein shown and described.

The foregoing description ot' my invention signed by ine this 18th day of May, A.' D. 1877.
