Definitions

  • the kit includes a closure means which remains in an 1 e wees cued open position during use.
  • the presentinvention relates to an improved traveling kit and more particularly to a kit for carrying toilet articles. While the present invention has particular utility for carrying toilet articles, it is equally suitable for carrying other articles such as a small radio or a small camera.
  • a zipper is attached to a wire frame which may typically have a fabric covering.
  • the wire frame is then bent into a shape resembling the desired kit configuration.
  • the shaped frame is inserted into the cavity of a bag assembly and is stitched to the bag interior, thus forming the completed kit.
  • the purpose of the wire frame is to give the kit a definite shape as well as structural stability. Inherent in the foregoing method of construction is the need for a skilled operator to attach the zipper to the frame and bend the latter or in an automated operation, costly machines would be required to perform the foregoing operations.
  • a toilet kit which eliminates the need for a zipper and/or a wire frame would be cheaper and more economical to manufacture. Additionally, a kit whose closure member is capable of remaining in an open position would facilitate access to the kit interior and give a complete view of all the items contained therein. Further, a kit without a wire frame would be more pliable and collapsible, thereby permitting easier packing of the kit within other traveling luggage.
  • the present invention has certain beneficial features, one of which is a construction which eliminates the necessity for a wire frame. Another feature is a closure means which eliminates the need for a zipper. Still another feature is a construction which permits the closure means to remain open while the kit is being used.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a member used in the construction of the kit of the present invention.
  • FIG. la is a plan view of one of the side panels used in the construction of the kit.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a traveling kit constructed in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a further perspective view of the kit of FIG. 2, shown in an open position.
  • FIG. 1 shows a panel indicated generally as 6 which has been precut and which will be folded and stitched so as to define the kit interior.
  • Panel 6 is of generally rectangular configuration with parallel ends and 8b and sides and 9b of substantially equal length.
  • Armlike projecting sections 5 extend oppositely and symmetrically from each side of the panel 6.
  • Sides 5a of each section 5 extend approximately 45 from a line drawn perpendicular to the end 812 of the panel 6 where sides 5a then join side extensions 5b (which are about half the length of sides 50) at an angle of say 35 with respect to sides 90, 9b.
  • Edges 5c are perpendicular to side extensions 5b and are connected to sides 9a, 9b by generally semicircular portions 5d.
  • edges 10, 12 are seamed at l1, l3 and then folded over and reverse stitched or top stitched to edge 8, (see FIG. 3) to form a sub-assembly.
  • the formation of this subassembly also serves to create a flap member 15 which will be normally folded over a portion of edge 8 to close the kit.
  • Closure means 18, 20 are attached to flap l5 and a portion of panel 6 respectively and may typically consist of magnetic latch 24, 26. Alternatively, any other closure means known in the art could be used.
  • Side panels l4, 16 (FIG.
  • panel 6 and side panels l4, 16 can each be dual layered, i.e., each may have a layer of water-proof material such as vinyl which will be located on the interior of the kit.
  • a travel bag comprising a flat, pliable sheet and two generally rectangular side panels joined to portions of said sheet when said sheet is folded to form an enclosure, said side panels having curved upper edges connecting with 'two straight parallel side edges and a straight bottom edge connected to said side edges by curved edge portions, said flat sheet being of generally rectangular configuration having short parallel ends.
  • armlike projections extending oppositely and symmetrically from each side of said sheet at junctures with the termini of one of said shorter ends of said sheet, said armlike projections extending along outer perimeters thereof toward the other shorter end of said sheet at an angle of approximately 45 with respect to the sides of said sheet for a distance approximately two-thirds of the length of said projections, and for the remaining one-third distance said projections extend along said outer perimeter thereof at an angle of approximately 35 with respect to the sides of said sheet, the termini of said outer perimeters of said projections being joined to edge portions extending perpendicularly from said outer perimeters toward said sheet for a short distance, generally semicircular portions of said projections connecting said perpendicular portions to the sides of said sheet, that portion of said sheet excluding said short end and projections being folded to form front, bottom and back portions of said travel kit, means for joining said short perpendicular portions of each of said projections with the short edge of said sheet farthest from said projections, means for joining
