My invention relates to handbags, more especially of the kind, which are carried by a leather or other strap. If it is desired to carry the bag in the hand or under the arm, the strap forms a 5 hindrance and I have therefore devised means whereby the strap, if not used, can be hidden away in such manner that it does not disturb the bearer.
To this end I form the metal or other bow forming the frame of the bag with a channel which may either extend all over the bow from one pivot to the other and which may be mounted on the bow proper.
Alternatively the channel may cover only the top part of the bow and in that case may form part of the means for locking the bag.
In the drawings affixed to this specification and forming part thereof two handbags embodying my invention are illustrated diagrammatically by way of example.
In the drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation,
Fig. 2 an end elevation and Fig 3 a plan View of the first form of handbag showing the strap in the out-of-use position.
Figs. 4 and 5 are a side elevation and end elevation, respectively, showing the bag with the strap extended for use.
Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the metal bow. 3 Figs. '7, 8, and 9 are a side and end elevation and plan view, respectively, of the second form of bag with the strap hidden away, while Fig. 10 is a side elevation, partly in vertical section, of the same bag with the strap ready for use.
Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the bow.
Referring to the drawings and first to Figs. 1 to 6, a and b are the two parts of the metal bow, while is one of the pivot pins connecting them. d is a channel-shaped rail extending over and fixed to the part b of the bow and e is the bottom of the channel onto which the strap may be applied, when out of use. The strap 1 is shown in this position in Figs, 2 and 3, being connected at both ends to elastic insertions h, which engage metal eyes g, which may be gripped by means of grips k. i are knobs formed at either end of the rail d, which may engage the eyes g of the strap. The elastic insertions It may be formed of rubber, of metallic springs or of some other material.
When the bag is intended to be carried in the hand or under the arm, the ends of the strap are simply pulled, by means of the grips it, through the metal eyes I formed at the corners of the rail d, until the middle part of the strap 7 has entered the channel and has applied itself against the bottom e of the rail d. Thereupon the eyes g are pushed over the knobs i whereby the strap is fixed in its out-oi-use position. If it is intended to carry the bag by the strap, the eyes g are disengaged from the knobs i and the strap pulled upwards.
m is a projecting part of the locking device, which may also be operated when the strap 1 assumes its out-of-use position.
In the modification illustrated in Figs. '7 to 11 the rail m forms part of the locking device mounted on part a of the bow, being formed as a straight channel-shaped rail with a depression n cooperating with a nose 1?. on the part b of the bow to hold the bag closed. m" is a sideways projecting portion of the channel-shaped rail, which serves for operating the closing device.
The knobs 2 formed at the pivots of the bow here co-operate with closed eyes 1" formed after the manner of press-buttons.
Obviously the channel or the bow or both may assume any desirable form and the means for fixing the strap in one or the other position may also vary according to circumstances. Similarly the locking device shown in Fig. 11 may be replaced by any other suitable device on which the channel-shaped rail can be mounted.
I wish it to be understood that I do not desire to be limited to the exact details of construction shown and described for obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
I claim:
1. A bow for handbags comprising in combination, two substantially U-shaped bow members, pivot pins connecting the ends of said members for angular relative movement of said members, a channel-shaped middle portion on one of said bow members, eyes at the ends of said middle portion, knobs projecting from said pivot pins, a strap, the ends of which extend through said eyes and means at the ends of said strap for attaching said ends to said knobs.
2. A bow for handbags comprising in combination, two substantially U-shaped bow members, pivot pins connecting the ends of said members for angular relative movement of said members, a channel-shaped middle portion on one of said bow members, eyes at the ends of said middle portion, knobs projecting from said pivot pins, a strap, the ends of which extend through said eyes, means at the ends of said strap for attaching said ends to said knobs, and elastic extensible means inserted between said strap and said attaching means.
OTTO ROWOLD.
