STRAP ATTACH IVIENT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Eatent No. 778,636, dated December 27, 1904.
Application filed July 1, 1904. Serial No. 214,970.
To all whmn, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, TILLIAM H. (301mm, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, State of Maryland, have invented new and useful Improvements in Strap Attachments, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to strap attachments such as are employed for attaching suspension-straps of a mail-carriers bag or the like.
The principal object of the invention is to permit pivotal movement of the strap upon the bag.
Further objects of the invention are generally to improve and simplify the construction of strap attachments.
1V ith the foregoingand other minor objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the particular combination and arrangement of parts and in the precise details of construction hereinafter described and claimed as a particular embodiment of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a view in elevation showing the upper portion of a bag such as is used by mail-carriers and the like with two of the improved strap attachments applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section through one of the improved strap attachments. Fig. 3 is a per spective view showing the attaching member and the metallic strap used for pivotally mounting it within the pocket on the bag. Fig. at is a similar view of the leather strap used in connection with the metallic strap.
Like reference-numerals indicate corresponding parts in the difl'ercnt views.
The numeral 1 indicates the upper portion of a bag which is flexible cover 2. Secured upon the rear tion of the bag in any suitable manner, as by stitching, are two flat leather pockets or envelops 3 3. As the construction of the two pockets 3 3 is identical, a description of one will suflice to convey an understanding of the other. The suspension-strap 4 is provided with a snap-hook 5, which is engaged with an attaching member 6. Ametallic strap 7 is engaged with the attaching member 6, the
I pockets prevent the ends of said metallic strap being bent into parallel relation with each other, as shown in Fig. 3. Upon the metallic strap 7 is disposed a leather strap 8, the ends of which are also I bent into parallel relation with each other, as r shown. The parallel ends of the straps 7 and f 8 are inserted through the open upper end of the pocket 3 and are pivotally mounted therei in by means of a rivet or similar element 9, l which, as will be seen from Fig. 2, extends through the pocket 3, parallel ends of the straps 7 and 8, rear portion 10 of the flexible 1 cover 2, rear portion ofthebag 1, and through a reinforcing member 11, disposed horizontally across the inner upper portion of the bag.
The metallic strap 7 serves to prevent the rivet 9 from wearing or abrading the leather strap 8 in such manner as to cause the disengagement of the suspension-strap from the bag.
By engaging the suspension-strap 4 with the bag 1 in such manner that said suspension-strap may have a pivotal movement only in the plane of its flatness or greater width with respect to the bag the durability and strength of the attaching means are greatly increased.
By the employment of the metallic strap 7, engaged with the attaching member 6, it is possible to connect the rivet 9 rigidly with i said metallic strap, whereby instead of the strap moving pivotally upon the rivet 9 said rivet itself turns in the pocket 3 and bag 1, thus permitting the pivotal movement which it is the principal object of this invention to I attain.
The construction described is strong, simple, durable, and inexpensive, as well as thoroughly practical. In its precise comblnation provided with the usual f and arrangement of parts and in its details it porpresents an improvement over prior attaching devices used for a similar purpose.
It will be observed that the pockets in which the straps are mounted serve to limit the pivotal movement in either direction of said straps and also to permit the straps-to have pivotal movement only in the plane of their flatness or greatest width. Furthermore, the possibility of the straps turning entirely upon their pivots. For this reason the suspension-straps of the bag are leather strap disposed upon the metallic strap 15' prevented from becoming twisted, as would and lying in contact With the flat front and be the case if the attaching members were rear walls of the pocket, and a rivet or the permitted to turn freely upon their pivots, as like extending through the pocket and through 5 is the case with most of the prior constructhe metallic and leather straps, whereby said tions. straps are capable of limited pivotal move- 2 Having thus described the invention, What ment only in the plane of their flatness. is claimed as new is--- In testimony whereof I affix my signature in The combination of a bag or the likehaving presence of two witnesses. 10 a flat pocket formed wlth an open portion, an VVlLLlAM H. GORAM.
