LADIES HAND BAGS WITH A DETACHABLE FRAME AND HANDLE Filed April 19, 1957 FIG. 2
INVENTOR RUFUS c. SATTERFHELD BY ATTORNEY United States Patent LADIES HAND BAGS WITH A DETACHABLE FRAME AND HANDLE Rufus C. Satterfield, Washington, D.C.
Application April 19, 1957, Serial No. 653,982
4 Claims. (Cl. 150-28) The present invention relates to ladies hand bags of the flexible type having a detachable closure frame and handle.
The object is to construct a ladies hand bag with a detachable closure frame and handle, the bag portion being of flexible material, preferably of the washable type, whereby the bag portion may be removed readily for washing when dirty, as well as for replacement when worn out.
A further object is to provide in the above hand bag an expandable mouth ring to which the mouth of the bag is detachably attached, as by snap buttons for easy removal.
A further object is to form the expandable mouth ring of a series of telescopically linked alternate inner and outer members, fixing the snap buttons only to the outer members.
A further object is to pass a draw-cord or chain loosely through said member to facilitate closing the mouth of the attached bag.
A further object is to use a flexible cord handle attached to opposite sides of the above mouth ring.
A further object is to form the above handle by extending the draw-cord ends from the opposite sides of the mouth ring and joining the opposite cord ends together to form a double cord loop to serve as the flexible cord handle.
A further object is to provide a rigid handle attached to the opposite ends of an expandable mouth frame having its two sides or lips, normally contracted toward a straight-line or closed position, and resiliently extendible to open up by pulling the lips apart or wedging a hand through them in reaching for the contents in the bag.
A further object is to form each of the lips of the above mouth frame of telescopically linked alternate inner and outer members having spring means for biasing each lip toward its straight-line fully telescoped position, the bag being attached to the sides of the outer members by snap buttons at suitable intervals about its mouth.
A further object is to make the above rigid handle with a telescopically extendible portion, whereby the lips may be extended or shortened at will within the limits of the telescopic overlap of said inner and outer members.
Other and more specific objects will appear in the following detailed description of several modifications of the present invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a partial view of one form of the invention,
Fig. 2 is another form,
Fig. 3 is a detail of a telescopic construction that may be used for the mouth frame,
Fig. 4' is a sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3, and
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5--5 of Fig. 3, with a corresponding portion of the bag snapped in place, and the members being in fully telescoped position, a resilient means being shown on one of the inner members for normally maintaining the respective members in the fully telescoped position.
The present invention is very versatile and is adaptable for creating many different styles and designs of hand bags, having flexible, rigid or telescopic handles and flexible mouth-frames formed of alternate inner and outer telescopic members with draw-cord closing means or resilient closing means or any combination of both, and in which the bag is attached by snap means for easy removal for cleaning or replacement. By using reversible bags having different designs inside and out, the number of variations of design that might be created could be doubled.
The style illustrated in Fig. 1 comprises a flexible handle 10, attached to the opposite sides of the mouth-frame 11, and the bag 12 detachably attached by snap buttons to the outside of the outer members 21 of the mouth frame 11. The handle 10 may be formed by the extensions of the draw- cords 14 and 15 passed internally through the telescopic members from one side of the mouth-frame to the other around opposite halves of said mouth-frame. Thus, the mouth will normally be drawn closed by the weight of the bag pulling down on the handle, as it is held suspended therefrom.
In Fig. 2, a rigid handle 16 is shown connected to the opposite ends of a mouth-frame 17 similar to mouthframe 11 but having the snap buttons turnedinwardly of the mouth-frame for attachment to the outside of the neck of the bag 18. The horizontal handle portion 19 could be made telescopic to adjust the length of the mouth-frame. Draw-cords 27 for closing the mouth of the bag, if used in this form would necessarily extend into loops hanging freely at one or both ends of the mouth-frame. Alternatively, the opposed lips of the mouth-frame could be brought together without telescoping, by merely extending the telescoping handle 16.
Automatic resilient closing of the mouth may be provided by using a coiled extension spring passed through the inside of the mouth-frame members in place of the draw-cords, Without any hang over, to bias the inner members 20 and outer members 21 into fully telescoped position. This bias may be provided by individual coil compression springs 22 between the telescoped members as shown in Fig. 5.
The bag may be provided with an independent drawcord laced around the neck of the bag adjacent the row of snaps, so that the cord may be readily removed with the bag. This is particularly advantageous in the form shown in Fig. 1 in which the ends of the draw-cords form the handle loops for the bag.
Fig. 3 shows an additional way of lacing the drawcords 23 externally of the telescopic members, through eyelets 24 in the edges of the outer members 21.
The snap buttons 25 on the mouth-frame may be fixed to the flattened sides 26 of the outer members 21. Obviously, these flattened sides may be turned inwardly or outwardly of the mouth to accommodate snaps on the outside or inside of the bag respectively, depending on the choice of the design or style of hand bag to be assembled.
In the form shown in Fig. 1, the bag may be easily reversed by turning it inside out without removing the mouth-frame 11. With a rigid frame handle such as shown in Fig. 2, however, the bag has to be detached to reverse it, whereupon it may be reattached around the outside of the mouth-frame 11, after turning the flat sides 26 of the external members 21 outwardly of the mouthframe.
Many obvious modifications in the form and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, as defined in the appended claims.

The bags maybe made in various colors and materials to be interchanged so as to match or contrast with the costume worn on certain occasions.
What is claimed is:
1. A handbag comprising a telescoping frame portion and a removable bag portion, fastening'means to removably attach saidbag portion to said frame portion, said telescoping frame portion consisting of attached inner and outer members, said inner and outer members being hollow tubes and hollow housings respectively, said hollow tubes and hollow housings having drawstrings laced internally therethrough.
2. A handbag comprising a telescoping frame portion and a removable bag portion, fastening means to removably attach said bag portion to said frame portion, said telescoping frame portion consisting of attached inner and outer members, said inner and outer members being normally spring biased in closed relation.
3. A handbag comprising a telescoping frame portion and a removable bag portion, fastening means to removably attach said bag portion to said frame portion, said telescoping frame portion consisting of attached inner and outer members, said inner and outer members being hollow tubes and hollow housings respectively, each of said hollow housings being generally rectangular in shape and having apertures in each of its ends, said apertures being of slightly greater diameter than the diameter of said tubes, each of said'housings receiving the ends of the adjacent tubes therein, said tubes having their ends flared within said housings so as to prevent withdrawal from said housings.
4. A handbag as defined in claim 3 in which individual coil compression springs encircle the portions of the flared tubes within the housings and have their ends bearing against the flared ends of the tubes and the portions of the housings adjacent the apertures respectively, to .normally bias the frame in closed position.
