This bookbag is designed specifically to be balanced over the shoulder.

sum 1 OF 2 BOOKBAGS This invention relates to bookbags which are constructed solely from fabric materials. Denim, corduroy, permanent-press cotton as well as water-proof fabrics may be used. In bookbags which are used primarily by students (grammer, high school and college) it is desirable to use materials which can be washed. These bookbags are so constructed that they can be machine washed.
An objective of this bookbag is to provide an easy way of carrying books. This bag is so designed that it can be given a twist and balanced over the shoulder which makes the load appear lighter. Since this leaves the arms and hands free it is possible to ride a bicycle, hold on in a crowded bus, write a last minute note, shake hands etc. allwhile carrying your books.
It is desirable to have separate pockets for extras such as: pencils, small pads, gym shoes, gym clothing, wallet etc. so that they can be easily located when needed. Therefore as many or as few extra pockets as may be desired are incorporated on the two outside panels or the two lining panels.
Since there are no visible raw edges inside or outside this bookbag it can be reversed by turning inside out and display a different fabric design.
Thus, there is provided by this invention a students bookbag constructed solely of fabric materials and presenting a rectangular shape, a side opening, pockets in either end for books, also incorporating as few or as many extra pockets of any shape or size on the panels for pencils, small pads, gym shoes, gym clothing, wallet etc. The extra pockets can be closed by zipper, buttons, lace or snap.
The foregoing features and objectives together with further aspects of the invention are described in the following text with reference to the accompanying drawings showing the construction features of the invention, in which: FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the bookbag of the invention, showing the inner lining removed, the bookbag being constructed of four panel portions and having a side opening with inner pockets at opposite ends;
FIG. 1a is an enlarged fragmentary exploded perspective view of the encircled portion of FIG. 1 showing the interior seam construction; FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 showing a modified form of the bookbag of the invention constructed of two folded portions;
FIG. 2a is an enlarged fragmentary exploded perspective view of the encircled portion of FIG. 2 showing the interior seam construction;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the bookbag of FIGS. I and 2 completely assembled with the inner lining attached;
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of one end of the bookbag of FIG. 3 showing a pocket with zipper closure which may be attached to either end of the outside panel portion;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 and showing a modified form of the outside pocket having a flap closure secured by buttons;
FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 4 and showing a modified form of the outside pocket with no closure and divided longitudinally and adapted to contain shoes;
FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIG. 4 and showing a modified form of the outside pocket having a flap closure secured by snaps; and
FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 4 showing a modified arrangement consisting of two small outside pockets, one for pencils and the like and the other being a transparent pocket for an identification card.
In constructing this student bookbag the desired pocket or pockets (see FIG. 4-8) are sewn on the right side to one of the rectangular panels l3, 14, 1-5 or 16.
Panels 13 and 14 with right sides together are sewn from points 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, and 6 to 1. Panels l3 and 14 are then turned inside out so that the raw edges are inside.
The lining panels 15 and 16 with right sides together are sewn together from points 8 to 9, 9 to 10, 10 to 11, 11 to 12 and 12 to 7. Lining panels 15 and 16 are then placed inside panels 13 and 14.
Panel 13 between points I and 2, and panel 15 between points 7 and 8 are brought together to form a double edge fold and are sewn together with a hidden stitch.
The same method is used in joining panels 14 and 16 between points 1 and 2, and points 7 and 8 respectively.
It is desirable to reinforce points 1 and 7, and points 2 and 8 with a double stitch since this opening will be used for the books.
The above is the preferred method of construction. There is one change which can be made. This is shown in FIG. 2. One piece of fabric is folded at 30 to form panels 13 and 14. One piece of fabric is folded at 31 to form lining panels 15 and I6.
Panels 13 and 14 with right sides together are sewn from points 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 5 to 6 and 6 to I. Panels 15 and 16 with right sides together are sewn from points 8 to 9, 9 to 10, 11 to 12 and 12 to 7.
From this point in construction both methods are the same.
I claim:
