United States Patent M ANCHORING CLAMP 0R HOLDER FOR END STRAP OF A POCKETBOOK HANDLE Daniel I. Reiter, New York, N. Y. Application April 12, 1955, Serial No. 500,891
2 Claims. o1. 24-1145 This invention relates to improvements in anchoring clamps or holders for attaching the strap ends of handles for pocketbooks to the walls of a pocketbook.
This application discloses subject matter related to subject matter disclosed in applicants copending application S. N. 393,778 which matured into Patent No. 2,821,229 on January 28, 1958.
A main object of the present invention is to provide a specially constructed anchoring clamp or holder which can be attached to the strap end of a pocketbook handle and anchored to the wall of a pocketbook by anyone, without special skill or tools.
Another object of this invention is to provide an anchoring clamp or holder which is manufactured in a flat form and which can be easily mailed or otherwise distributed to the owner of a pocketbook, in which one or more of the handles has become detached from the wall or walls of the pocketbook, and which can be easily and simply attached to the strap end of the handle by the owner and reliably used to reanchor or attach the strap end to the wall of a pocketbook.
A further object of this invention is to provide an anchoring clamp or holder which includes a flat piece of sheet material of a rigid but bendable nature and that is formed to have a flat body portion, carrying coplanar laterally extending and complemental clamping arms which are formed to be rolled over onto a strap end of a handle, seated on one face of the body portion, and which is provided with an opening'for the transverse passage therethrough of the strap end; the opening being defined by sides which can be upset to strengthen the body portion, guide and protect the strap end and clampingly engage the strap end.
The foregoing and ancillary objects, including the provision of a simple, inexpensive, and durable clamp or holder, are attained by this invention, the preferred form of which is set forth in the following description and illustrated in the attached drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a pocketbook handle end anchoring clamp or holder, constructed in accordance with this invention, and showing the same in its blank form, as it is readied to be supplied to a pocketbook owner for self-repair of a detached handle;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the clamp or holder in its final manufactured form as it appears when supplied in the process of attachment thereof by a pocketbook owner to the end strap of a pocketbook handle for self-repair of a detached handle;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the clamp or holder showing it in its final position of attachment to the end strap;
Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a pocketbook wall which has an opening for receiving the strap end and showing how the strap end, with the clamp or holder attached thereto, is inserted by the pocketbook owner through the opening to effect a self-repair of the handle, and
Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the pocketbook wall, similar to Fig. 5, and showing the clamp or holder in its final handle anchoring position in engagement with the wall.
The blank shown in Figure 1, generally designated by the numeral 10, includes a flat body portion 12, which is substantially rectangular in shape and has opposing faces or surfaces, one of which is designated by the numeral 14 and the other by the numeral 16. The body portion has opposing, parallel side edges 18 and 20 and terminates at its ends in transverse end edges 22 and 24.
Intermediate its end edges, the body portion is formed with an opening 26, which is circular and is defined by concave confronting bounding walls 28 and 30 formed transversely of the body portion. The walls 28 and 30 constitute what may be termed the end bounding walls of the opening. Extending laterally from the side edges 18 and 20 formed integral and disposed coplanar with the body portion are arcuate straps 32 and 34 which have inner peripheral edges 36 that are formed on the same radius as the bounding walls 28 and 30 and complement the bounding walls in defining the circular opening, the straps forming side portions of the opening. The ends of the straps, at the points of attachment to the side edges are formed with transverse score lines 38, which define the position along which the straps are bent during manufacturing into positions, substantially perpendicular to the surface 14 of the body portion, as shown in Fig. 2, to strengthen this section of the body portion. The opening 26 is of a diameter to receive many types of strap or handle ends, which may differ in cross sectional size and shape.
The body portion is provided with integral, coplanar clamping arms 40 and 42, which extend laterally from the side edges and are disposed intermediate the opening and the end edge 22. Preferably, the outer sides of the arms are flush with the end edge, as shown in Fig. 1. The arms terminate in outer free ends 44 which are concaved to form prongs 46 and 48 on each end edge thereof. The free ends 44 are prebent upwardly at a slight obtuse angle to the arms. The inner attached ends of the arms are scored transversely at 50, such transverse scoring 50 being in alignment with the score lines 38 and extending in alignment with the side edges of the body portion. 7
When, the arms 40 and 4-2 and the opening strap or sides 32 and 34 are bent upward as shown in Figures 2 and 3, they are disposed in perpendicular relation to the surface 14 of the body portion, about longitudinally aligned score lines at the side edges of the body portion. It is understood that the bending takes place at predesigned and designated position and, in the case of the arms, may be easily done by the pocketbook owner, with a pair of pliers or other common household tool.
The strap end 52 of the pocketbook handle is then passed through the opening 26 from the surface 16 to the surface 14 of the body portion and is laid on the face 14 in facial contact therewith. The strap end is axially disposed on the face and positioned between the upstanding, confronting arms 40 and 42. The body portion may then be placed on a horizontal surface, such as a table, with the arms upstanding. A common household tool such as a hammer may then be employed to bend the arms and roll them down onto the strap end so that the ends 44 engage the strap end with the prongs penetrating the strap end. The arms are, thus, easily bent down into strap end embracing positions and clamp the strap end tightly on the surface 14 of the body portion.
The straps 32 and 34 have been upwardly prebent Patented Dec. 2, 1958 3, into positions normal to the body portion so thatthe Width of the body portion is constant throughout its axial extension. The body portion is insertable through the opening innthe pocketbook wall, as-will be ;exp l ained,' The straps;
without enlarging or tearing the opening. 32. and 34, in their positions at'rightangles tothc body portion, are pushed tightly against the opposite-sidesof the strap end to exert a lateral compressive -force 'there on and assist in retaining the strap end against lateral and.
axial movement relative to .theclampeorholder; The arms also tightly bind the strap end to: prevent it from being torn by the edges of the opening, The arms, in addition, serve to hold the strap end against'later-al and. axial movement, when the clamping arms are being bent over onto the strapend.
After the anchoringclamp or holder is attached to the strap end, it is in a position, as shown in Fig, 3. The strap end is then ready to be inserted into theopening in the side wall of the pocketbook. side wall 54 of a pocketbook is shown in section-in Figs.
and. 6 for exemplary purposes. As illustrated, theside wall 54 is composed of a substantially rigid section 56,-
the end edge 24-is canted away from the strap end, with the strap end disposed in a horizontal plane, through the opening 62, the end edge 24 will be inclined upwardly and outwardly facing the lining section 60;
Thus, when the strap end is pulled outwardly, the end edge 24 will strike the inside rigid section above the opening and cam upwardly on the inside section causing the clamp to turn or fulcrum about the strap end. Further axial withdrawal movement of the strap end will pull the body portion tightly against the inside section, with the surface 16 in facial engagement therewith. In such position, the anchor or holder will bridge the opening 62 and bear against the inside of the side wall above and below the opening and anchor the strap end tightly to the opening. Any further pull on the strap end will be transmitted by the anchor or holder throughout the side wall and the strap end will be eifectively prevented from becoming dislodged from the attachment to the side wall. The lining will be pushed inwardly, as shown in Fig. 5 and, when the holder is in its final position of Fig. 6,
In this respect, thewill return to its normal position and overlie and cover the holder and end of the strap portion. The holder will lie flat so as not to bulge out the lining.
The anchor or holder 10 can thus easily be shipped, as by mail, when in its final manufactured position of Fig. l and can be simply and quickly attached to the strap end of a handle, as shown in Fig. 3, by a woman owner of a pocketbook, without any special tools, skill and with a minimum of physical effort.
While the best known form of my invention'has been shown and described, other forms may be realized, as come within the scope of the inventor, defined by the appended claims.
