BER NHARD \VILENTSI-IIK, OF NEW, YORK, N. Y.

POCKET-BOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 587,251, dated July 27, 1897.

Application filed April 9, 1897.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BERNHARD WILENT- sHIK, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements inPocket-Books, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to ladies pocketbooks, chatelaine-bags, and the like; and its obj ectis to'provide certain new and useful improvements in pocket-books, chatelaine-bags, and the like, whereby the usual functions of the article are maintained, and in addition thereto a convenient means is provided for carrying a button-hook, comb, looking-glass, and other articles.

The inventionconsists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the acconipanyin g drawings, forminga part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvement in an open position. Fig. 2 is a like view of the same placed in a different position. Fig. 3 isa front View of the improvement with part broken out. Fig. 4 is a transverse section of the same. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of a modified form of theimprovement, and Fig. 6 is a front elevation of the same with parts broken out.

The pocket-book is provided with the usual metallic frame A, carrying the change-pocket B, connected at its rear upper edge by a row of stitches O with the front member 0 of a pocket O, formed on the back D of the pocketbook. The free end of the back D of the pocket-book is provided on its inner face with the usual combination-pockets E for containing visiting-cards and the like and adapted to fold over the front pocket F for containing bills, &c. and connected at its inner member F by a row of stitches F with the front of the pocket 13. The rows of stitches O and F extend close to the corresponding members of the metallic frame A, as plainlyindicated in Figs. 1, 2, and 4, so that the pocket B hangs freely between the pockets O and F, and the lower ends of the said pockets are adapted to open up and are adapted to be locked together by suitable catches or fastening devices G G,

.as indicated in the drawings. (See Figs. 2and 4:.) On the front of the pocket F is arranged the usual small postage-stamp pocket F andon the back or inner member F of the said pocket O is arranged a small pocket J for containing a comb or like article, as shown'in Fig. 2. On either outer face of the pocket B is secured a looking-glass K.

Now it will be .seen that when the lower ends of the pockets F and O are connected with each other by the fastening device G G the rest of the pocket-book that is, the pockets B, F, O, and Ecan be used in the usual manner without being interfered with in any manner by the devices concealed on the faces of the pockets F, B, and O, as above explained. If, however, it isdesired to make use of a comb, button-hook, key, hair-pin, looking-glass, or the like, the operator by opening the fastening devices G G obtains ready access to the adjacent faces of the pockets F, B, and O to get at the articles supported on the said faces. Thus the pocketbook is used for its legitimate purpose, as well as forconveniently supporting various other articles, such as a key, looking-glass, buttonhook, and the like, as before mentioned.

By reference to Fig. 4 it will be seen that when it is desiredto make use of the various articles carried in the pocket-book besides the money contained in the pockets B, F, and E I am enabled to swing the pockets F and G into open positions to get at the various articles, as illustrated in Fig. 2.

It is understood that in pocket-books as heretofore constructed the pockets F and O are fastened rigidly at their inner members to the members of the pocket B, so that the said pockets F and 0 cannot swing into an open position on the pocket E.

As illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6, the frame A" carries the change-pocket B, on the front of which is secured by a row of stitches F the rear member of the front pocket F formed on the inner side of a portion D of the pocket D, the latter also carrying the lower end of the pocket 13 and the pocket G The row of stitches F as Well as that for the pocket C extends only along the upper edge of the parts referred to, so as to form an opening between the pockets F and B and the latter and the pocket C in which to place a comb, key, lookingglass, and other articles, as before described. This form of invention is also provided with the usual pocket E.

Having thus fully-described my invention, I claim asnewand desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A pocket-book provided with a changepocket on a hinged frame, a second pocket havingits mouth adjacent to the month of the said change-pocket, a connection between the adjacent walls of the said pockets to form between the same a clear space or opening for accommodating various articlesvoutside of the said pockets and S11 pporting devices for holding the articles in the said clear space, substantially as shown and described.

2. A pocket-book, provided with a changepocket, a front pocket and a back pocket, the said pockets having their mouths adjacent one to the other, the said front and back pockets having hinge connections at their mouth ends with the opposite sides of the said change-pocket, and the adjacent faces of the said pockets being provided with auxiliary pockets, loops and the like for carrying various articles, substantially as shown and de-' scribed.
