N. S. M EWEN g LAUNDRY CONTAINER Filed Jan. 10, 1955 a s z a y [Var/220w 6117051007 INVENTOR Patented Sept. 24, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE LAUNDRY CONTAINER Georgia Application January 10, 1935; Serial No; 1,090
2 Claims.
My invention relates to devices for use in large laundries where miscellaneous articles belonging to various customers are washed. It is customary to place the articles in network bags or containers in which they remain throughout the various laundry processes.
Where small articles are washed together with large articles in one net they often become entangled within larger articles and are overlooked when all the articles are removed from the net after washing and become misplaced, causing a claim against the laundry owner from his customer. Also when they become thus entangled with the larger articles, the smaller articles are often overlooked until during a later shaking process in the laundry they are first discovered when they fall out on the floor and there become soiled or damaged.
One object of my invention is to avoid this difficulty. A specific object is to provide containers which can be cheaply made and conveniently used for keeping the large and small articles of a single customer separatedfrom each other and from the articles of other customers.
Another object is to provide means for conveniently identifying the containers throughout the laundry processing.
Another object is to provide convenient means for marking the combined containers.
In carrying out the invention I provide a network of the usual character suitable for containing larger articles. To one side of this bag. or container I stitch another layer of open network so as to form a smaller pocket for containing articles which it is desired to keep separate from the articles in the main receptacle. This pocket and the main receptacle are so related that they may both be simultaneously closed by the use of a single marking pin.
Fig. l is a side view of a receptacle involving my invention showing it in position closed by a marking pin.
Fig. 2 is a side view showing the receptacles opened out and without the marking pin.
Fig. 3 is a diagrammatic sectional View on the plane of the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view on the plane of the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.
Fig, 5 is a fragmentary detail View on a full scale showing a fragment at the junction between the main and auxiliary receptacles.
The main receptacle or bag 6 is formed of suitable network with a binding or selvage l at the open end. This receptacle is made of suitable material and of a suitable size and color.
The smaller auxiliary receptacle is formed by stitching a patch or pocket 8 to one side of the main receptacle at its upper edge so that the opening in the auxiliary receptacle is alongside of the opening in the main receptacle.
The auxiliary patch or pocket may be made of the same color or of a different color from the main network.
The patch is sewed on to the main receptacle in a suitable manner as, for instance, by apply- 0 mg a tape or braid 9 simultaneously with the stitching of the pocket. This tape or braid may be of a color distinct from the color of the main bag and/or distinct from the color of the auxiliary pocket.
The main receptacle and the auxiliary pocket may be conveniently closed by a single safety pin l 0 having a suitable mark giving, for instance, the symbol or number of the customer.
Another important feature of my invention is 20 that the pocket may be sewn on with a thread of a different color from the color of the net or pocket itself.
By varying the color of thread which sews the pocket on the net the various colors can serve as 25 identification marks throughout the laundry processing--i. e., one color to mean the articles are to be laundered one way, another color to mean the articles are to be laundered another way, etc.
It is standard practice in laundries at this time to have identifying colors woven in the net itself and it would be more economical for the manufacturer of the net to vary the identifying colors by means of the sewing thread for the pocket than by warp threads in the net itself. Also the manufacturers inventory could be made much more flexible for shipping against orders through this idea, since when colored threads are warped up for the net itself it would be only practical to weave a large quantity of nets in that color, whereas it is practical to sew on pockets on small quantities of nets at a time.
A specific advantage of this idea is that it enables one marking pin, which is in the form of a large safety pin with an identification number stamped thereon, to be run through both the net itself and the attached pocket, sealing both the net itself and the attached pocket with the one pin, thereby eliminating the necessity of using two pins as is necessary when two separate nets are employed. This feature also eliminates the necessity of having a device to close up the pocket itself after the small articles are placed in it.
Since small articles such as handkerchiefs, 55
belts, silk stockings, etc. can be placed in the pocket and thereby washed in the laundry simultaneously with the other articles that are put in the net itself, the laundry owner is enabled to use the one net with this feature instead of the customary two separate nets.
I claim:
1. A laundry washing receptacle comprising a main network bag for large articles, and an auxiliary network pocket at one side of the main receptacle for containing small articles, a portion of the network wall of the main bag constituting a wall of the auxiliary pocket and being located with its top substantially flush with the top of the main bag whereby a single fastener may hold the tops of both the main bag and auxiliary pocket closed when their edges are gathered.
2. A laundry washing receptacle comprising a main network bag for large articles, and an auxiliary network pocket at one side of the main receptacle for containing small articles, a portion of the network wall of the main bag constituting a wall of the auxiliary pocket and being located with its top substantially flush with the top of the main bag whereby a single fastener may hold the tops of both the main bag and auxiliary pocket closed when their edges are gathered, said auxiliary pocket being also located on one side of the main bag and centrally thereof transversely, the side and bottom edges of the auxiliary pocket being provided with reenforcing binder where they are attached to the main bag and the top edges of both bags being also provided with a binder.
