M. E. MULTICOMPARTMENT RECEPTACLE FOR STRADDLING CONVENTIONAL HAND LUGGAGE Filed Oct- 27, 1948 MELVA EJH-IATT,
ATTORNEY Patented Nov. 13,- 1951 MULTICOMPAR-TMENT RECEPTACLE FOR STRADDLING CONVENTIONAL HAND LUGGAGE Melva E. Hiatt, Bethesda, Md.
Application October 27, 1948, Serial No. 56,795
4 Claims. 1
This invention relates to receptacles for carrylng articles and more particularly to a receptacle having pockets which may be carried in conjunction with any of the usual articles of luggage so that the contents of the pockets may be removed therefrom expeditiously and without the necessity of disturbing the contents of the article of luggage with which the receptacle is being carried.
One of the features of the invention is a receptacle having pockets which is supported by such an article as a hand bag having a hand grip and which receptacle has depending portions analagous to saddle bags. The receptacle has means by which it may be anchored in place by the hand grip for convenience in carrying and ready accessibility.
Another feature of the invention pertains to a receptacle and the method of making it of a type which may be carried While hung over a conventional article of hand luggage, and which comprises a plurality of sheets of material cut substantially to the same pattern joined to form a plurality of pockets which are separately positioned over the outside of the article of luggage.
Other objects, features and modifications of the invention will be apparent in view of the following description and drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the receptacle in place upon a hand bag with which it may be carried;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of one face of the receptacle;
Fig. 3 is a, view showing the underside of the receptacle shown in Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a cross-section taken along the line 4--4 of Fig. 2.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, 5 indicates an article of luggage of any conventional construction provided with hand grip means 6 by means of which the article may be lifted and carried. The article of luggage with which my receptacle device is to be used is not limited in any sense to the precise article shown in the drawing. However, preferably, there is a horizontally disposed upper ridge or edge on the article at a medial point on which the hand grip 6 may be attached, resulting in the provision of laterally extending ridge portions 1, from which the receptacle, indicated generally at 8, may hang so that it will be suspended over the outside of the article of luggage with the pockets I8 and I9 disposed on opposite sides of the ridged portion.
The principal elements of my luggage and resake of appearance, the lower sheet 9 may be cut to slightly larger dimensions than the upper sheet l0, so that the margins of the lower sheet may be turned over the margin of the upper sheet to be joined by the seam ll, as shown in Fig. 4, but it will be realized that the sheets may be identical in dimensions and the scam I! may appear along the edges.
Approximately midway between the ends of the sheet 9 a portion is cut out, providing an opening H through which the hand grip 6 may pass when the receptacle is in position, as shown in Fig. 1, and a similar opening I4 is provided in sheet H) for the same purpose. The sheets 9 and [0 may be joined together for reinforcement around the registering openings II and [4, by means of sewing 20, or other means such as rivets 2|, but this is not absolutely essential. A closure opening i5 is also provided in the upper sheet l0, which is preferably a slit extending generally at right angles to the length of the sheet, disposed to on side of the opening I4, and may be furnished with a fastener means l6, as for example a slide fastener. It will now be apparent from an examination of Fig. 1 that a pocket, generally indicated at l8 has been formed lying on one side of the ridged portion 1 of the article of luggage and anchored in place by hand grip 6, comprised of one half of the sheets 9 and I0, joined by a seam l1.
The underlying sheet 9 is provided with a closure opening 12 extending generally in a'direction at right angles to the length of the sheet, disposed to the side of opening H which is opposite from the closure opening I5 in the sheet l0, and may be furnished with fastening means I3, such as a conventional slide fastener. The relationship of the closure openings can best be seen in Fig. 4, and it will be readily understood that a pocket, indicated generally at I9, similar to pocket [8, will be formed by the other half of sheets 9 and 19, which will lie on the opposite side of ridged portion 1, that is the side away from the observer in Fig. 1, with the difference that the closure opening [5 for the pocket l8 lies on the outside surface, while the closure opening l2 for the pocket l9 lies on the inside surface.
One of the uses to which my device may be put is the accommodation of an infants diapers while travelling. Clean diapers may be carried in either one of the pockets, while used ones may be p1aced. in the .otl 1e r pocket. Theadvantage of thisiiselis that' diapers are immediately available when wanted without the necessity of opening the principle article of luggage and disturbing its contents, and the used diapers maybe conveniently disposed of in a pocket, or cornpartment which is immediately available" and keeps 'them out of contact with fresh diapers, or other articles of clothing. For this purpose, one or both of the sheets 9 and I orportions of them may be made of waterproof 'rnate'rial. Similarly, these sheets may comprise laminated materials, one of which may be waterproof, and theother not. "In the interest of simplicity; and cheapness, of
fabrication I havefalsodevised a; novel method by which this receptacle m ans may be"ma'de. Preferably; I jcut a number of sheets of suitable nia- Jt rial to th'same general outside dimensions, ire'ctafngular iri shape and somewhat greater in [lengththan width. The openings ineach sheet 1 ifprthe' grip meansl andtheclosures may be cut fro'rn'the same pattern. This'is possible because Pthe'openings :l f and Mrhay be disposed centrally with respecttothilengthbf 'the 'sheets 9 and Q whilethe opening m and "15' may be dis- 'sjedto one side of' the central opening b an "equal amount'with there'sult that identical open- FingSQrhaiWbe'cut'in' all of 'the'sheets of material; after whichpairs of the'sheets may be reversed end for end and joined 'along'their margins by seam ll. Closure means'13'and16'are' preferably attachedbefore" the seam lTis' made," while the 'i'einforc'einent' means fll or 2|, around the open- 'in'gs Il'andM forthe grip means maybe added P ter'the' sheets have been joined at their'mar- "gins. 4
" I'clairn thefollowing:
