Application filed September 2, 1904;. Serial No. 223,090.
Torr/H 1071,0121, 'i/I 71m, 0071/0017;
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM A. ALLEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have in vented a new and improved Bath-Suit Bag, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The purpose of the invention is to provide a bag adapted to carry a folded bathing-suit to and from the body of water in which the bath is to be taken, the said bag being particularly adapted for use in connection with bathing-suits for men, and to so construct a bag that it will be simple, durable, economic, and waterproof, or substantially so, and, furthermore, to provide a construction of bag which when filled, closed, and locked will constitute a sightly compact package of small size, having a handle by which it may be readily simported from the wrist of the carrier.
Another purpose of the invention is to construct the bag from one piece of suitable matcrial with the exception of the handle.
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate correspomiling parts in all the figures.
l igure 1 a perspective view of the in1- proved bag open and empty. Fig. 2 a perspective view of the bag filled and closed; and Fig. is a transverse section through the fold ed bag, showing a contained folded bathingsuit in end view.
The lmg is made from one piece of pliable 'i'naterial, such as canvas or its equivalent, rendered waterproof, or practically so, or oil-silh, or rubber cloth, or like material.
in general GOI'iSiLl'LICblOI] the bag consists of a body A, a front longitudii'ial flap at the upper edge of the front member of the body being of su'liicieut width to extend over the open upper portion of the body practically to the rear body member and a cover-flap 11, extending longitudinally of the upper edge of the back member of the body, being of suiliupper edge of the end members of the body,
and these end flaps are adapted to fold. one upon the other beneath the front liap.
It may be here stated that while the presence of the end flaps 12 and 13 isto be preferred they may be omitted, if desired.
tVith reference to the details of construction of the bag the material is cut to a cruciform shape, the main or longitudinal limb being wider than the transverse limbs. in forming the body A the material is carried upward where the limbs connect, forming the end members 16 of the body, the front and rear members 18 and 19, and the front and cover flaps 10 and 11. Then the abutting portions of the end, front, and rear members are connected by lines of stitching or otherwise,producing but four seamsnamely,front and rear corner-seams i l.- and at each end. In shaping the front, rear, and end members of the body the bottom member is naturally formed.
All the edges of the material are provided with a hem 17 before the material is shaped into the bag, and the cover-flap when the bag is closed is fastened to the front member 18 in any approved manner, usually by means of separable buttons, the socket sections 20 whereof are shown secured to the cover-flap 11 and the keeper-sections 21 as secured to the front member if} of the body at or near the bottom.
A handle E22, of flexible material, is located at one end of the body, the terminals of the strip, constituting the handle, being secured to the inner face of the front and rear mem bers.
in use the l.)athing-suit B carefully rolled, as is shown in Fig. 3, and is plaoed in the body A. The end flaps i2 and iii are then carried over the rolled suit, and the front flap ii) is passed over the end flaps, thus effectually preventing any exposure of the suit at the mouth of the body. Finally, the cover flap 11 is drawn forward and secured to the front member of the body, whereupon the bag will also partake of the form of a roll, as is shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and a neat, compact, and small parcel is the result, which by means of the handle may be suspended from the wrist of the carrier, leaving the hands free.
it is obvious that a bathing-suit may be quickly and conveniently enveloped in or removed from the bag and that the use of the bag renders it very convenient to transport a wet or a dry suit from place to place.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- As an improved article of manufacture, a bathing-suit bag constructed of substantially waterproof material, comprising a body-section consisting of a bottom, front, rear and end members, the front, rear and end members being connected at their abutting portions by four corner-seams, a flexible handle connected with the said body portion at one end, end flaps integral with the end members of the body, adapted to fold within the body, a front cover-flap integral with the front body member, adapted to be carried over the end flaps when within the body, and a cover-flap forming a continuation of the rear body member, which cover-flap is of suflicient length to extend over the folded end and front flaps and down at the outside of the front body member, and fastening devices for securing the free longitudinal edge of the cover-flap to the exterior portion of the front body member.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
VILLIAM A. ALLEN. Witnesses:
