RECEPTACLE PARTICULARLY ADAPT Filed may 20, 1937 r- A I Patented July 29, 1941 :RECEPTACIQE PARTIC CARRYING ARTE ULARLY ADAPTEDFOR CLES F CLOTHING,-
lsiegfried lilleyer, Berlin, Germany testamentary-'20, 1937, SerialNo.143, 735
, InGermany May 23,1936 T 'f'i Claim. (01. 241 -7) This invention relates to; receptacle particularly adapted for carrying articles ofclothings It is known to pack garments, under-linen or the like in folding boxes, in which the garment to be packed is suspended on a hanger which is rigidly attached to the carrying 'deviceof the box. The known deviceis providedwith special cross-bars inside the folded box, through which the articles of clothing must be drawn when they are packed. This arrangementis disadvanta geous in that the packing operation is troublesome and that the I garment becomes creased where it is folded. The procedure of folding the article and the box twice is attended with the risk of crumpling the garment. In a further known packing device, which consists of a folding box,-the garment is likewise folded twice but in this case the garment must be drawn through slots provided in the box, so thatthisknown packing device is in actual practice only suitable for packing flat articles of simple form, such as trousers. Furthermore, a non-folding box is known for packing articles of clothing, on the inside of said box guiding rails are provided which are adapted to receive cross-bars about which the garment must be placed for packing. Long garments, however, must be laid about a plurality of such rods. The purpose of the guiding bars and rods is principally to prevent the garments laid in the box from being displaced during transport. These boxes are not suitable for rapid packing of individual garments, such as is, for example, necessary in department stores.
In contradistinction thereto the present invention relates to a garment receptacle provided with a carrying device which is particularly intended for packing clothes and in which the garments are carried in a folded condition, but wherein the arrangement is such that a loose bar which can be withdrawn from its supporting means in the receptacle, is provided, and the garment is laid over this bar which has first been removed from its supports, and is then brought into engagement with its supports, the bar or rod supports being disposed in the upper part of the receptacle when the latter is held in the position in which it is carried. The removable bar may be provided according to the invention with projecting stops at the ends thereof. The supporting means may with advantage consist of press buttons, loops, side bars or the like. In this way, it is possible to bring the garment to be carried into a position where it hangs freely and is not affected by any folding of the material of the receptacle. Another advantage over known packing devices consists in thatfithe packing ofthe garments can be extremely: rapidly effected, since, for example, it is only necessary for the garment, to hang over a clothes hanger or garment shoulder hanger disposed in the bag or receptacle in order to enable the garment thereafter to be laid overthe freely movable folding bar or rod member and after this member has been raised'into its final position, to enclose the thus already folded-garment by the bag or recept'acle; r 5 I The bagorother envelope thus used is about half the'length of the garment to be carried. 'The invention will now be described byway'of example with reference to preferred 'embodiments Whichare diagrammatically illustrated-in the accompanying drawing: Fig. 1 illustrates 'an'embodiment of a bag or receptacle madeof cardboard. andviewed from the front thereof, the receptacle being in an opened position.
Fig. 2 shows a sectional view of the bag of Fig. 1 taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1,
Figs. 3 and 4 show a bag of paper in horizontal and vertical section, the bag being particularly adapted for the reception of a plurality of garments or thicker clothing; Fig. 4 being a horizontal sectional view taken along line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
The bag illustrated in Fig. 1 consists for example of a stamped or cut out piece of cardboard a, which can be folded about two fold lines D and 17 so that in the opened position, if the side-flaps x and t and their side parts '0 and s are disregarded, the bag lies fiat, whilst in the closed position the part disposed between the folding lines b and b forms a kind of bottom. The upper part s is folded down in such a way that a pocket or envelope is formed, in which a coat hanger or separate garment shoulder hanger 2' is suspended, for example, from a support, such as a hook or loop 11.. The edges at the side of the bag a are bent over at right angles along their entire length, forming side Walls '0, the parts between the folding lines b and 11 being prepared by pre-st-amping so that the bag or receptacle can be produced in a simple manner by folding. In the upper part of the bag lateral fixing means y are provided, with which a rod member p having free lateral ends and being made, for example, of rounded wood, compressed material, cardboard, metal or the like can be brought into engagement. This rod p is removable. In order to pack the garment, the same is first suspended if desired, on coat or garment shoulder hanger i of any known kind, for example, made of cardboard, which hanger is then supported by a hook or loop u. The rod p is then placed behind or at the rear of the garment at a distance of about one-third of its length from the bottom and is then raised together with this part of the garment until the rod can be again received by the supports y. The garment then hangs entirely freely in the upper part of the bag or receptacle and the latter can be closed in a simple manner by raising the lower part of the receptacle and simultaneously bending the parts b and 12 The closed receptacle may be held and carried by means of a handle or other supporting loop 2. Instead of the rods 1 strips or bands of paper or loops may be provided.
Figs. 3 and 4 show an embodiment of a paper bag similar in principle to that shown in Figs. 1 and 2, but intended for thicker garments or to contain several garments. Instead of the flaps a: which are simply bent over, flaps n with one or more folds therein are provided. The lower part of the bag when open accordingly does not constitute an extension of the upper part but hangs down in front of a bottom pocket formed by corresponding foldings. In order to facilitate the packing, the flap. d which corresponds approximately to the parts s and t of Figs. 1 and 2, is not connected with the side flaps or gussets n. As shown in Fig. 4 the gussetsn may be extended and also bottom pocket 0 and may, if desired, also contain further folds. A strip? of paper, rubber or the like extends along each gusset and mayreceive the respective ends of rod p, the latter serving to facilitate the garment folding, which is effected at about the lower third of the garment. If several garments are to be placed in the bag using several rods p, each rod, as apparent from Fig. 3, may be placed in a respective fold or plaid of strip 1. After the garment has been suspended in the manner already described in respect of the first embodiment, the lower part of the bag c is folded upwards and the flap d is bent thereover. The flap d and lower part of the bag are provided with openings or slots f which serve as a carrying handle when the bag is closed.
The bag itself may be made of paper, oiled paper, waxed cloth, cardboard or other suitable material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:
A garment receptacle comprising an elongated substantially one-piece blank having fold lines defining bottom, side and end walls of said receptacle, one end of said blank being folded as to form the upper end of said receptacle, means for supporting a garment located at the upper end of said blank," said garment supporting means comprising a separate garment shoulder hanger support, and a rigid rod member havin free lateral ends and adapted to support therebetween said garment in folded condition, lateral means secured to said end walls and spaced from said upper end of said receptacle, said lateral means extending substantially horizontally of the depth of 'said receptacle, said free ends of said rod member being freely and removably engageable with said lateral means and at a location along said lateral means, said location being determinable by the thickness of said folded garment, said shoulder hanger support being located within the space above said rod and said upper end and being supported substantially centrally of said receptacle, said rod and said shoulder hanger support being positioned substantially in the same plane.
