7 claims. (Cl. 15o-28) I The invention relates to kcarrier bags having hookless slide fastener controlled openings; the objects of the invention are, rst, to secure control of access to amajor'opening of a carrier bag and to a minor opening of a pocket sewed to an exterior side of the bag, by the use of a single hookless slide` fastener second, to secure economy infthe manufacture of carrier bags having pockets sewed to their exterior sides, by eliminating the needof separate clasps orseparate hookless slide fasteners controlling access to such pockets; third,to .provide a hoo kless slide fastener controlled carrier bag, With additional cubic carrying capacity', in the form of a pocket` sewed to the exterior side of the bag, and to secure control of access'to such pocket, withoutv using additional clasps or fasteners; fourth, to provide a. carrier bag with a hookless slide fastener.rsewed to secure the .above advantages, in such manner, as will produce a neat, trim and tailored appearance, and as will enable the hookless slide fastener to operate smoothly.

yThe invention is illustrated inthe accompanyying drawings, sheets 1 and, 2; in which Fig. 1 is a perspective `view of the `carrier bag; Figs. 2, 3 and 4, perspective views of details of the construction; Fig. 5, a cross-section View, through the dotted lines in Figs. 2, 3 and 4; Figs.-6, 7, 8, 9, 10, l1 and 12, perspective views of various types of carrier bags to which the construction is applied. c 4

Fig. lv showsa tennis racket carrier bag, in which the hooliless slide fastener A, controls access to the major opening of the bag B-'-B2', l and to the` minor opening of the pocket C sewed to the exterior side ofthe outer casing cloth B.

Fig. 2 shows a portion of the outer casing cloth B and B2.

J-L, show where the tapes .of a hookless slide fastener are .to be. sewed t-o the interior edges of cloths B-BZ at the edgev of ,the major opening b. The convex tongue B1, of clothfB, between slits El-E, is not to be sewed, secured or fastened to thetapes ofthe hookless slide fastener.

Fig. 3 lshows the cloth C sewedto the exterior side of the outer casing cloth'B, to form'the pocket C. Cloth C is notched at points l\T-N. The sides H-l of the notches N-N, it exactly between the sides G'-G` vof slits El-E (in Fig. 2), so that the length of the minor opening a, of pocket C, extends between "'-I--I-l; and the width of the minor opening a, extends between theexterior side of thel outer casing cloth B1 y The cloth B is slit at points f El and B.` The stitching or dotted lines between of cloth B, and the interior side of cloth C. The length of the major opening b extends the full" length of the hookless slide fastener A, (from J to L in Fig. 2) The tape on one side of the hookless slide fastener A is sewedto thefin-v terior edge of cloth B from point L to point G (in Fig. 2) the convex tongue B1 is folded down to be out of the way of the sewing'needle; wand the interior edge of cloth C is then sewed to the tape of A, between H-H; then the.l interior edge of cloth B is sewed to the remaining portion of the'y tape of A, from C+y to J (in Fig. 2). The opposite tape of the hookless slide fastener A is sewed continuously to the interior edge of cloth B2 (from J to L in Fig. 2). v

Fig.` 4 shows the reinforcing pieces F`F which are sewed front' and back over the notches N-N (in Fig. 3), and over the slits El-E in Fig. 2). A perspective cross-section view `of ythe interior d, of pocket C, is shown. B3 is a cross-section of the cloth B; and C1, is a cross-section of the cloth C. The overlaplD--D of cloth C is sewed tothe exterior side of cloth B. The iiare shape at K produces a Wide mouth for the pocket. opening a, of pocket C;' and the setback design at D1` produces the necessary'height and width for'the interior d, of the pocket C. Since the' convex tongueBl of cloth B, (between F-F) is not sewed to either the cloth C or the tape of A, ac` cess to the interior d, of pocket C, is secured through the opening a, between the interior side of cloth C and the vexterior side of .the convex l'tongue B1 of cloth B. The hookless slide fastener A, when closed, controls access to both the major opening b, andthe minor opening a. This construction produces anadditional minor cubic carrying capacity (pocket C), on the exterior side of the outer casing B. The need of separate clasps or fasteners to control access to pocket C, is eliminated.

Fig. 5 shows a cross-section View through the stitching or dotted lines, in Figs. 2, 3 and 4. This view shows the sides G-G (of the slits E1-.-E), coinciding with the sides I-I-H (of the notches N--N in Fig. 3) so that when the hookless slide fastener A is sewed to cloths BA and C, (and the cloth Blbetween the slits El-E is folded down out of the Way) points G and points H will be sewed in a straight line to the tape of A. The hookless slide fastener A, will therefore operate as smoothly as if sewed to a single length of material; due to the alignment of cloths B and C, made possible by slits El-E and notches N,-'-N. The alignment of points G and H is particularly useful when thick `heavy material or leather is used in making the carrier bag; because any overlap of side H upon side G, might tend to wrinkle the tape of A, and tend to hinder the smooth action of the metal slider of the "hookless slide fastener. When thin or medium material is used in making the carrier bag, the notches N of cloth C, (in Fig. 3), may be omitted. The reinforcing pieces F-F are shown; the overlap D-D of cloth C, upon clothB; the minor opening c, to pocket C; and the major opening IJ, extending the full length of the fhookless slide fastener A. lll/hen thin or medium material is used in making the carrier bag, the reinforcing pieces F-F may be omitted, and the sides of slits El-E of cloth B1, tacked or sewed to the sides H-H of cloth C.

This will reinforce the sides of the minor open-` ing a, and will prevent ripping of the material at points G-G. 1 Y

Figs. 6 and '7 show the construction applied to tennis racket carrier bags, in which the hookless slide fastener A,'extends around a curved portion of the bag. This application is specially advantageous, because the curved portionof the opening increases the area of bcth the minor and major openings.

N Figs. 8, 9, 10 and l1 show Various applicationsl of the construction vto various types of carrier bags. Two or more pockets may be sewed to each side or both sides of the major opening of the bag. When the pocket C vis sewed to the beginning `or end of the tape of the hookless slide fastener, only one slit E, in the edge ofthe material forming the maior opening, is necessary.

Fig-12 shows a perspective view of the construction, vvith the hookless slide fastener"v A, ofthe carrier bag open. This view illustrates that cloth C is formed into a pocket C,vand sewed to the exterior side of the outer casingB;4 that one tape of the hookless slide fastener. A is sewed continuously to the 'interior edge of outerV casing cloth'BZ, coincident with the major opening b; that the` other tape of the hookless slide fastener A is Vsewed to two portions ofy the in-` terior edge of cloth B, coincident with the major opening b, but is not sewed to the convextongue B1 of cloth B; that an interior edge of cloth C,

coincident with the minor opening d, is also' sewed to the tape of the hookless'slide fastener A; and that access to the minor` additional car-` .rying capacity of pocket C, and accessV to the major'carrying capacity of the outer casing Be- B2, is controlled by the single hookless slide fastener A.

The construction as disclosed herein,V can be applied to carrier bags, made of leather, canvas, imitation leather, waterproofed and other flexible materials.
