6 Claims. (Cl. 190-41) This invention relates to improvements in hand luggage and has as an object to provide an inexpensive and exceptionally light piece of luggage having substantial capacity for carrying various articles'of Wear and other personal eifectsbesides means for carrying garments such as mens suits, and ladies dresses in neatly folded arrangement.
i `Like .the `copending application of George `Henry Wheary, Serial No, 733,822, led July 5, 1934, this invention differs from past hand lug- `gage primarily in the fact that mens suits and ladies dresses are so carried that they are partially Within the box and partially on the outside thereof; andA it is a particular object of this invention to `provide luggage in which one Wall,
namely the one covering the portions of the garments disposed on the outside of the box, is flexible. i
' More specifically, it is an object of this inventionto provide hand luggage of thecharacter described, wherein a solid Walled box of substantial capacity'is provided for carrying small pieces of clothing and other personal effects, and wheref inmens suits or ladies Vdresses are mounted on.
garment'hanger means disposed on the outside surface of the box cover to be held in place by a flexible yielding flap or apron which forms one outer side wall of the luggage.
With the above and other objects in View which .will appear as the description proceeds, this invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts substantially as hereinafter described and more particularly defined by the appended claims, it being understood that such changes in the precise embodiment ofthe herein disclosedinvention may be made as come within the scope ofthe claims.
The accompanying drawings illustrate two 'complete examples of'the physical embodiment lof the invention constructed according to the best luggage embodying this invention;
Figure 2 is a crosssection view taken through Figllle 1 on the plane of the line 2 2;
Figure Sis a perspective view `of the luggage open, showing 'the internal construction; and
; Figure 4 is aside elevation of a modified em- "bodiment of the invention.`l
composed of a bottom wall 6, end walls l, a top wall 8, and a side Wall 9. Ihe open opposite side of the box is closed by a cover I0 hinged to the bottom Wall as at II.
` For a purpose ,to be hereinafter described, the
`outer free edge of the cover terminates short of the top wall 8jand has a rounded molding I2 or other suitable non-creasing garment support attached thereto.
`Detachably mounted on thexouter face of the cover I0, adjacent its hinged edge, is a garment `hanger means I3, which in theembodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 3 inclusive, is of the conventional mens coat hangertype to carry mens suits'an'dV in the embodiment shown in Figure 4,
ofthat type moreparticularly adapted to the carrying o-f ladies dresses. This is the only distinction between the two` modifications illustrated. Garments draped on the hanger means I3 extendout across Vtheouter face `of the cover I0 within the box and partially outside the box,
with the space left `between the outer free edge of the cover andthe adjacent top wall of the box accommodating the portions of the garments folded over the edge ofthe cover.v
Tocover the portions of the garments on the exterior of the box, 'aexible apron I5 is permanently hingedly attached to the box adjacent the hinged edge of the cover as at I 6. Preferably, -1
the flexible apron I5 is composed of the same material which forms the outer covering I'I for the box, the outer covering, of course, being glued and permanently secured to the walls of the box, as is customary.` i
The free'edges of the apron I5 are secured to the adjacent walls of the box by continuous interlocking fastening means I8 having one part sewed to said edges' of the apron and its complementary part sewed to the'covering Il and extending beyond the actual Walls of the box as clearly shown in Figures 2 and 3.- v
The conventional sliders (notshovvn) for interlocking the fastening means I8 are located at the top of the luggage when the interlocking fastening means have been engaged, where they are covered by a flap I9 sewed to the apron and extending across the top wall 8.
To hold the flap I9 down in its closed position, a lock is provided, one section 20 of which is carried by the flap and the other section 2l being secured to the top wall as shown. The lock may be of any desired construction or. may be of the type shown and described in the copending application of George Henry Wheary, Serial No. 725,448, filed May 14, 1934.
To afford means for carrying the luggagepav handle 22 is fastened to the top wall 8, as shown, and inasmuch as the rounded edge L2` of the cover It), over which the garments, are folded, is uppermost in the normal carrying position,` it follows that there will be no tendencyon the part of the garments to shift from theirproper positions.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be readily apparent to those skilledini the art tol which. this` invention appertains, that. novel means for carrying mens suits and ladies dresses are provided and that an extremely light weight construction is obtained andi added convenience in packing and unpacking results.
