' 1 z,1ss,ss4' I I II VYMAILBAG I George c. Lester, Bufialo, N. Y. Application September 17,1938, Serial No. 230,467
icn'mi. (01. 150-11) This invention relates to improvements in bags of, the kind which are closed by draw. cords, or straps, and proposes a bag which, although not necessarily limited to such use, is characterized by features which render it of particular utility in connection with the handling of mail, particularly parcel post; I
Mail bags which are nowin use have draw cords which are threaded in and out through a series of openings formed in the side walls of thebags around their open ends, alternate sections of the cords being located on the outside of thebags while the intermediateconnecting sections are located on the inside. Such draw cords have the objection ';that when a bag is turned upside down and emptied in conventional manner it frequently happens that a piece of mail will be caught between an interior section of the draw cord and the side wall of the bag and be mutilated as an incident to the further efforts which are made instances, be inadvertently'overlooked and permitted to remain in the bag.
The principal object of the present invention is to overcome the above objections, this object contemplating a' novel design ofv bag wherein provision is made for accommodating the draw cord, or strap, cated wholly ext'eriorly of the bag.
A further object is toprovide for the reinforcing of those portions of the bag which carry the draw cord, or strap.
J The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bag embodying the features of the invention. Figure 2 is a section through thebag and is taken along line 2- -2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a section taken along line 3-3 of Figure 2.
The bag, which is preferably of conventional shape, may be made of any suitable material. In
accordance with the invention it is formed with a series of lengthwise extending fin-like flaps 5 which are produced by gathering the material of the bag to form pleats or folds and stitching the inner edges of the latter as indicated at 6. The flaps 5 are preferably triangular in shape, their upper wide ends being conterminous' with the open end of the bag and their lower ends merging and opening the'bag'i intentional opening of to remove it or, in some,
in such a manner that it is 10- open is unobstructed;

tional manner by eyelets 9. The flaps 5 may be 5 v spaced around the bag in any desired manner. As shown, and preferred, however, the two flaps which-carrythe terminal portions of the draw cord are'formed alongside one another in order to ,facilitate manipulation of the cord in closing 10 Itistunderstood, of course, that the endsof the cord-5 may carry a conventional lock for preventing accidental or unthe bag when it has once been closed. Suitable openings Ill (reinforced by 5 eyelets ll,.'if desired) may be formed in the bag between the flaps 5, whereby to enable the bag to be hung upon the hooks of: racks or other supporting means.

It will be apparent, therefore, that, as a result of this and 25 the fact that the draw cord is located wholly eX- I teriorly of the bag, the mouth of the latter when I Hence the possibility of a pieceof mail or other article remaining in the bag or being mutilated when the bag is emptied I is prevented.

A bag having excess material at'the month end formed into a series of spaced folds or pleats 40 which extend lengthwise of the bag, the inner edges of said folds or pleats being substantially collinear with the sidewalls of the body portion of the bag and being permanently secured together so that they cannot separate when the 5 bag is opened, openings formed in said flaps outwardly of said edges and a draw element threaded through said openings which is adapted to be loosened toiopen the bagand tightened to close it.
