Definitions
- This invention is an improvement in grips, more especially directed to an improved means of applying a grip or handle to a toolcabinet or other carrying-case.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device of this character with a simple and effective carrying means in which not only the hand of the individual carrying it will be the means of control over the cabinet by locating the grip centrally in the body of the cabinet, causing the hand, inserted in cell to substantially the depth of the elbow and engaging the handle, to lift the cabinet from the ground, but also the arm will come into play and brace and support the cabinet, preventing the swaying and swinging of the cabinet.
- the invention consists in constructing a cabinet or any carrying-case with a cell of such size as to amply admit a mans arm to substantially the depth of the elbow,leading into it preferably at one end,and a handle to be grasped by thehand at the bottom of the cell near the center of gravity of the loaded case, thus affording a bracing means entirely surrounding the forearm.

GRIP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 18, 1906,
Application filed May 16,1906- Serial No. 317,147.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JosEPH Rnonns CRA- BILL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Carthage, in the county of Hancock and State of Illinois, have invented. a new and Improved Grip, of which the follow ing is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention is an improvement in grips, more especially directed to an improved means of applying a grip or handle to a toolcabinet or other carrying-case.
The object of the invention is to provide a device of this character with a simple and effective carrying means in which not only the hand of the individual carrying it will be the means of control over the cabinet by locating the grip centrally in the body of the cabinet, causing the hand, inserted in cell to substantially the depth of the elbow and engaging the handle, to lift the cabinet from the ground, but also the arm will come into play and brace and support the cabinet, preventing the swaying and swinging of the cabinet.
Generally stated, the invention consists in constructing a cabinet or any carrying-case with a cell of such size as to amply admit a mans arm to substantially the depth of the elbow,leading into it preferably at one end,and a handle to be grasped by thehand at the bottom of the cell near the center of gravity of the loaded case, thus affording a bracing means entirely surrounding the forearm.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a transverse sectional view through a carrying-case embodying my improvement, showing the application of the hand and arm in carrying it about; and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the cabinet or carrying-case with the door open to more completely disclose the nature of my improvement.
The numeral 1 indicates any ordinary form of cabinet or carrying-case comprising a box-like structure 2 and a door 3, hinged together at 4, as is usual in devices of this character. Formed in the carrying-case, preferably centrally of the width of the same and contiguous to the back upper end, is a cell 5, wholly inclosed except an open end affording a passage into the case and of such size as to amply admit of the insertion of a mans hand and arm. This cell is traversed near its inner end by a handle 6, arranged parallel to the back and top of the cabinet, leaving a sufiicient room between it and the walls of the cell for the passage of the hand about the handle, as shown in Fig. 1. With the arm and hand in position complete control is had over the cabinet, a much heavier load can be carried with greater ease, and a higher cabinet may be erected and carried farther from the ground or floor than is possible with ordinary carrying cases.
The construction is particularly desirable in tool-cabinets which are carried about by mechanics from place to place, usually loaded with heavy tools, although its application to trunks, traveling cases, and sample cases will be found of no small value by those required to handle and carry them from one place to another.
The precise embodiment of my invention is not material, provided its essential characteristics are carried out as pointed out in the invention as claimed.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The combination of a carrying-case, a cell adjacent to the top end and to the back thereof completely inclosed on the inside of the case and opening through the top of the case, and a handle passing through the cell near its inner end parallel to the bottom of the case, whereby as the handle is grasped, the forearm is braced by the walls of the cell, for the purpose described.
2. The combination of a carrying-case, and a handle arranged in the interior of the case by which the case may be carried.
3. The combination of a carrying-case, a cell built therein and having an opening passing through the case, and a handle in the cell, for the purpose described.
4. The combination of a carrying-case, a cell having an open end, but otherwise completely inclosed, built in the case, and a handle near the bottom of the cell whereby as said handle is grasped the forearm is braced by the walls of the cell, for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOSEPH RHODES ORAQBILL.
