Sept. 5, 1933. D. KARRON HAND BAG AND SIMILAR RECEPTACLE Filed Sept. 9, 1951 INVENTOR David Kawon ATTORNEY v Patented Sept. 5, 1933 UNITED STATES 1,925,487 HAND BAG AND SIMILAR RECEPTACLE David Karron, Brooklyn, N. Y. 7
Application September 9, 1931. Serial No. 561,827
2 Claims.
This invention relates to handbags and similar receptacles, and has for its primary object and purpose to provide improved means for framing the flexible handbag material at the bag opening which is characterized by maximum strength and resistance to strains in the frame elements, permanent security between said frame elements and the edges of the handbag material, low cost of manufacture and assemblage of the parts, and
10 a highly attractive appearance in the completed bag.
It is a more particular object of the invention to provide a metal framing means for the handbag material wherein the parts are substantially concealed when the handbag is closed by the bag material covering the outer side faces of the frame parts, and in which said metal frame parts are relatively heavy and rigid in comparison with the usual inverted channel shaped sheet metal.
- frame now generally usedin handbags of this type.
It is another and further object of my invention to provide a metal framing strip for the handbag material wherein are a plurality of tongues preferably integral with the frame and set in spaced apart relation from the inner edge thereof, said. tongues being bent over against one side face of the strip to provide means for keeping the edge of the handbag material in position before the assembly of the frame strip.
More specifically, my present invention consists essentially in constructing each of the complementary parts of the handbag frame in the form of two separate relatively heavy metal strips, one of which bears extending tongues integral with 40 and turned inwardly between the opposing faces of said metal strips, said metal strips and the edges of the material being securely and permanently fixed in relation to each other by a plurality of rivets passing therethrough. The metal strip with the inwardly bent tongues constitutes the outer strip of the resultant frame, in which the bend of the tongues provides a means for holding the handbag material firmly against the inner side face of the strip before the frame is assembled. Suitable hinge connections are pro- [vided between the ends of the inner metal strips of the two parts of the frame.
It is another detailobject of the invention to provide improved latch means for holding the.
by integrally formed parts projecting outwardly or upwardly from the inner frame strips.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the improved handbag, and in the form, construction and relative arrangement of its several parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and subsequently incor porated in the subjoined claims.
In the drawing, wherein I have illustrated on simple and practical embodiment of the invention, and inwhich similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several viewsz Figure 1 is a fragmentary side elevation of a handbag provided with my improved frame;
Fig. 2 is a top plan'view thereof;
Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the bag frames in open position; I I I Fig. 4 is a detail transverse sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 5 is a detail elevation showing the inner section of each of the frame parts.
Fig. 6 is a detail elevation of the outer section of each frame part, showing the tongues bent inwardly and a fragmentary cut away portion of the handbag material with its edge portion held against one of the side faces 'of the strip by means of said tongues.
Referring in detail to the drawing, each of the complementary halves or parts of the bag frame consists of the inner and outer material strips 5 and 6 respectively, which may be conveniently die-stamped or cut from relatively heavy metal plate, said metal strips being'preferab'ly chro- 'mium plated, or otherwise treated to render the same more or less ornamental and attractive in conjunction with the bag material to which they are attached. I
These metal frame strips may be of any desired predetermined form or shape, but as herein shown, I have illustrated these strips as of substantially rectangular U-shaped form. The inner frame strip 5 terminates at its ends in the hinge pintlereceiving ears '7, the apertures of said ears on .the frame strips of the complementary frame parts being adapted to be positioned in registering relation to receive the hinge pintles indicated at 8. Each of the frame strips 5 is further provided with spaced rivet receiving openings 9 therethrough. In spaced relation to one of its end legs, each frame strip 5 is provided with an integrally formed finger piecelO of suitable ornamental shape projecting outwardly from theedge thereof. On one of the frame strips 5, this finger piece is wholly disposed in the plane of said strip, while the inner part of the finger piece 10 on the other of said frame strips is angularly offset from the plane of said strip The other or outer frame strip-6 of each of the complementary halves of the frame is of uniform width throughout its length and is also provided with spaced rivet receiving openings 12. frame strip 6 is further provided with tongues 6a preferably integral with the strip and disposed at certain intervals on the inner edge thereof. This strip may also be made by cutting or die stamping a metal plate in the usual manner whereby tongues 6a would extend away from the inner edge of the strip. Before the respective strips constituting the frame are brought into as --sembled relation, the tongues 6a are bent upward- -ly toward the inner side face of the strip to provide a space between said face and the bent tongue, as shown in Fig. 6, within which "the top and side edges of the handbag material are easily placed. The tongues fiaare then firmly crimped downwardly toward the side face of the strip to keep the material in proper position before the .plate strip 5 is brought against the strip 6. It
is to be noted that the tongues 6av are arranged on the strips at points preferably intermediate ;the holes 9. The use of the tongues at such points is an advantageous feature, since they are pressed against thehandbag material 15 to keep it in alignment with the face strip before the frame is assembled as shown in Fig. 4.
Preferably, the inner metal strip 5 of each of the; frame parts is provided with a continuous outwardly, turned narrow flange 13 on its inner edgeiso as to improve the appearance of the bag when open, and eliminate the sharp inner cutting edge on the frame. a
In assembling the sections of each half of the bag fr'ame,one,side wall of the bag material 15 at its upper and. side edges is extended over the inner side faceof the metal frame strip 6 and inwardly upon the inner side thereof and between the space provided by the bent tongues 611.. After the edges of the material 15 have been set evenly against the'inner edge of the strip 6, the tongues 6a are pressed, by any suitable means, downwardly against the inner sideface of strip 6 to keep the material 15 tightly clamped. The
the outer side face'of the upwardly turned tongues 6a of strip 6 andthe inwardly turned edge of the bag material, and the openings 9 arebrought in alignment with the openings 12 in the outer frame strip 6.
By means of a special riveting machine, the rivets indicated at 16 are now inserted through these registering openings and the bag material,
the rivet heads being disposed in the slight countersinks indicated at 17 which are formed in theinner faces 'of the frame strips 5 so that when the bag is closed, these faces of the opposing frame strips may have close contact with each other, as is shown in Fig. '4. The tongues 600' of the outer frame strip are between the outer face of the inner strip 5 and the inner face of the outer strip 6 thus keeping the material 15 between the side opposing faces in fixed and rigid position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. Furthermore, the tongues prevent the edges of the material from becoming loose and sagging, due to carrying objects in the handbag. The apertured ears 7 of the inner frame strips are then aligned and the hinge pintles 8 inserted therethrough. By means of this construction, it will be apparent that since the bag material extends above or outwardly of the edges of the outer frame strip 6, when the bag is viewed from either side, the only visible portions of these frame strips are the outwardly extending finger pieces 10 and latch lugs 11, the strips 5 and 6 being otherwise wholly concealed by the bag material. Thus, the same ornamental or artistic effect in the appearance of the bag is obtained as when the relatively light inverted channel shapedframe strip heretofore used is employed.
When the two complementary frame parts are brought together from the open position, as ch vn in Fig. 3 of the drawing, the convex surof the latch lugs 11 contact with each other and considerable pressure is then applied against the finger pieces 10 of the respective frame strips 5 in relatively opposite directions. While these fingerpieces are not locally yieldablebut maintain a substantially rigid relation to the respective frame strips, the two frames will yield sufficiently at the hin e connections 8 under the camming action of the latch lugs 11 to permit said lugs to ride past each other to the positions shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing, thereby securely latching the complementary frame parts in closed position and with the inner strips or sections 5 thereof in face to face contact substantially throughout their length. By constructing the frame parts with the integral finger pieces 10 maintaining a permanently rigid relation with respect to the frame strips, and rigidly securing the frame strips together against relative yielding its movement, a very substantial structure is produced capable of resisting severe. strains or stresses which would otherwise bend or distort the metal frames or the finger pieces l0;so that the latch lugs 11 on the latter would be displaced from the proper positions for secure latching coi action with each other.
In the above described embodiment of the invention, it will be noted that the use of tongues extending from the inner edge of one of the frame strips of each frame provides efiicient means for thus providing means for holding the edges 05 the handbag material in tight or closely fitting position against the inner face of the outer strip at points intermediate the rivets to prevent the material from becoming loose. preciated that a bag frame construction as above disclosed, may be inexpensively produced and since the bag frame material is permanently secured to the metal frame parts by rivets or other It will also be an:
mechanical means rigidly connecting the frame.)
parts with each other, separation between the frame parts and the bag material is effectually precluded.
I-have herein shown and described an embodiment of my present invention, which I have "found to be very satisfactory in practical use.
Nevertheless, it is to be understood that the essential features of my present disclosure might also be incorporated in various other alternative mechanical structures, and I therefore reserve the privilege of resorting to all such legitimate changes therein as may be fairly incorporated within the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
This is a continuation in part of my co-pending application, Serial No. 508-,236, filed January 12, 1931.
I claim:
