Ingram, New York, N. Y., assignor to Millie Patent Holding Co. Inc., New York, N. Y., a corporation of New York ApplicationAugustG, 1932 ,'Serial No. 627,763
' 4 Claims. (c1; 53-3) The present invention relates to receptacles for containing tea, coffee, etc., and embodies, more specifically, an improved bag-like receptacle to v i which a string and tag are connected, the construction being such as to prevent the string and tag of. a receptacle from becoming entangled p with similar strings and tags of other receptacles when a number of such receptacles are placed in a common container.
Considerable inconvenience has arisen in the use of tea bags and the like, where a number of such bags are placed in a common container,
by reason of the fact that the strings and tags.
of the several bags become tangled and prevent the convenient :removal of a single bag and its string and tag from the common container. Several means have heretofore been provided to reduce the tendency of the tags to become'tangled Q 3 in the above fashion and the present invention has for an object the provision of an improved non-tangling bag construction by means of which a string and tag may be conveniently connected to its bag in such fashion as to facilitate the removal of the bag from a container. i
A further object of the invention is to provid a. non-tangling bag and string construction by means of which the string and tag of a bag may be conveniently withdrawn from a" normal non-tangling position in order that the full length of the string may be utilized in using the bag.
A further object of the invention is to provide a non-tangling bagconstruction wherein, after a string and tag have been secured to a bag, a. v
' loopis formed in the string to shorten the effective length thereof. 3
Further objects, not specifically enumerated above, will be apparent as the invention is described in further detail in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a plan view ofa non-tangling construction applied to a square bag.
Figure 2 is an enlarged .detail view showing 7 the non-tangling construction of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a view in section, taken on line 3-4 of Figure'2, and looking in the direction of the arrows. 1 r V In the construction shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 a square bag I9 is closed by means of an overlocked stitching 20 across the 'top thereof. A string 2 is included under the bag closing means,
tive length thereof. J
string and loop 24 may be increased in size tobring tag 25 sufficiently close to the overlocked 5 stitching 20 to prevent the same from becoming entangled with the strings and tags of adjacent receptacles. r
In the event that it is desired to anchor the string 2| more effectively, it is proposed to place 10 r a length 26 thereof upon one side of the bag, directing the string over the top of the bag as illustrated at 21 and reversingthe string upon itself to provide a length 28 thereof under the overlockedstitches upon the-opposite side of the 15 bag from the length 26. i
From the foregoing it will be seen that the full length of the strings which are attached to the bag may be conveniently used by simply drawing the same through, the bag closing 20 means or' stitching at 23, depending upon the, particular form of bag to be used. The friction of the bag closing means at 23 will prevent the tag from freeing itself fromits bag and thus becoming entangledwiththe strings and tags of adjacent 25 bags.
While the invention has been described with specific reference to the constructions shown in the accompanying drawing it is not to be limited save as defined in the appended claims. 3
I claim as my invention: a
1. A bag-like receptacle having means for closing the same and a string secured under the closing means, the string having a loop therein held frictionally by the closing means at a point 35 on the string spaced from the securing point of the string to the receptacle to shorten the efi'ec-.
2. A bag-like receptacle having stitching to close the same, and a string secured thereto, the 40 string having a loop therein held frictionally by the stitching at a point on the string spaced from the securing-points of the string to the receptacle;
3. A' bag-like receptacle having stitching to close the same, and astring having one end se- 45 cured under the stitching and being held frictionally adjacent its other end by the stitching. I
4. A bag-like receptacle having means for closing the same, and a string secured at one end underthe closing means, a portion of the string 50 spaced from the end being held frictionally under the closing means on the receptacle to shorten the effective length thereof.
