Application November 26, 1932 Serial No. 644,433
7 Claims. (01. 150-29) My invention relates to hand bags wherein the mouth ofa bag or pouch offabric, leather or other flexible material is reinforced by a metal frame adapted to be opened and closed'in the use of the bag;
Objects'of my invention are to provide in the frame improved means for securing the mouth of thebag to the frame; to so attach the bag to the frame that the material the bag will completely coverthe metal of the frame when the bag is closed; to minimize the extentof the metal frame which is visible when the'mouthof the bag is opened; to produce a bag which, when closed, shall have the appearance-of a folded piece of material not visibly disclosing a frame; and to secure the other advantages hereinafter pointed out. V
In the drawing Figure v1 is a plan view of the frame opened; Figure 2 is a perspective view of the bag, closed; Figure 3 is a detail on an enlarged scale, taken as looking up at the jaws closed as in Figure 2; Figure 4 is a cross sectional view taken from a position corresponding to the line 44 of Figure 1,,showing the jaws closed; and Figure 5 is a similar view showing the material of the bag secured to the frame; Figures 4 and 5 are on a further enlarged scale; and Figure 2 is on a much smaller scale than Figure 4.
Similar reference numerals designate similar parts in all the figures.
The frame is composed of two members 1, 2, hinged to each other by pivots 3, 3, so that they form a pair of jaws which may be closed together as shown in Figures 4 and 5. Each jaw is formed of a piece of metal, which for practical purposes may be sheet metal, having the general form of a channel bar, the side edges of'which are turned inward toward the center of the bar; the flange on the outer edge of the bar being preferably 'narrower and shorter than that on the inner edge; so that the space between the upper flanges 4, 5, when the jaws are closed, shall be approximately twice the thickness of the bag material; while the spaces within the lower flanges 6, 7,
" shall be slightly wider than the thickness of thethe material and the frame within the flanges 6, 7, and the edges'of those flanges may, if desired, be bent inwardso as to have a positive holding grip upon the materialv I This results in the material of the bag en- 60, tirely covering the outer faces of the frame and the outer flanged portions 4 and 5, the fullness of the bag allowing the material to be drawn together so as to entirely co'ver,-also, the outer heads of the pivots 3, 3. 7 So that when'the mouth of the bag is closed, as in Fig. 2, the'frame will be completely covered by the bag material, which is an advantageous feature; because, for certain types of materialit is desirable to avoid the exposure of any portion of the metal frame when the mouth of the bag is closed.
A catch, as 8, carried by a flat spring 9, the ends of which are secured by keepers 10, 10, on thejaw 1 one of the ends being preferably fixed while the other end may slide slightly within its keeper, cooperates, by its hooked end 11, with a detent 12 on the jaw 2, and may be released by raising its arm 13 which extends out through the side of the bag. But, optionally, other commercial forms of catches or looks may be used.
It will be seen that, when the mouth of the bag is opened, only the inner flanges of the jaws 1 and 2 will be exposed to view, the other flanges 4 and 5 being entirely covered and concealed by the material of the bag, thus giving the appearance of a light frame, while, in fact, the frame has the stability of much more metal than is indicated by its visible portions.
I wish it to be understood that the form of embodiment of my'invention which I have shown and described is to be regarded as typical and not exclusive. For modifications may be made, as by'the' use of equivalent elements without departing from the spirit of my invention and the scope of the claims.
Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:- V
l. A frame for hand bags or the like, embodying a pair of hinged jaws, each consisting of a metal member having a web provided with an inwardly deflected outer edge and with an inturned flange substantially parallel to and, narrower than the web, along the inner edge forming a recess between the flange and the web adapted to receive the edge of themouth of a flexible bag.
2. A frame for hand bags or the like, embodying a pair of hinged jaws, each consisting of a metal member having a web provided with a comparatively narrow, inwardly extended flange along its outward edge, and with an inturned flange, narrower than the web, along the inner edge forming a recess between the flange and the web adapted to'receive the edge of the mouth of a flexible bag carried inward over the outer flange,
the inner flange extending out from the web sub stantially farther than the outer flange.
4. A frame for hand bags or the like, embodying a pair of hinged jaws, each consisting of a metal member having a Web provided with a comparatively narrow, inwardly extended flange along its outward edge, and with an inturned flange, narrower than the web, along the inner edge forming a recess between the flange and the webadapted to receive the edge of the mouth of aflexible bag carried inward over the outer flange, the space within the inner flange extending out from the web being approximately the thickness of the bag material.
5. A hand bag or the like embodying a flexible bag having an open mouth, in combination with a frameembodying a pair of hinged jaws each consisting of a metal member having a web provided with a comparatively narrow, inwardly ex-' tended flange along its outward edge, and with an inturned flange, narrower than the web, along its inner edge forming a recess between the flange and the web adapted to receive the edge of the mouth of the bag carried inward over the outer flange.
6. A hand bag or the like embodying a flexible bag having an open mouth, in combination with a frame embodying a pair of hinged jaws each consisting of a metal member having a web provided with a comparatively narrow, inwardly turned flange along its outward edge, and with an inturned flange, narrower than the web, along its inner edge forming a recess between the flange and the web adapted to receive the edge of the mouth of the bag carried inward over the outer flange, the space between the inner flange and the web being substantially equal to the width of the outer flange.
'7. A hand bag or the like embodying a flexible bag having an open mouth, in combination with a frame embodying a pair of hinged jaws each consisting of a metal member-having aweb provided with a comparatively narrow, inwardly turned flange along its outward edge, and with an inturned flange, narrower than the web,v along its inner edge forming a recess between .the flange and the web adapted to receive the edge of the mouth of the bag carried inward over the outer flange, the space between the inner flange and the web being greater, to approximately the thickness of the bag material, than the width of the outer flange.
