ATTORN EY United States Patent 3,078,897 TRANSIT BAG Arnold S. Riflrin, 39 E. Northampton St., Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Filed June 20, 1961, Ser. No. 118,437 6 Claims. (Cl. ISO-13) This invention relates generally to bags, and is especially concerned with a novel construction of transit bag.
It is one object of the present invention to provide a transit bag especially well-adapted for interdepartmental and interplant handling of transit items, which bag may be repeatedly reused to effect substantial economies in use, and which is admirably well-suited for the transportation of correspondence and miscellaneous items of all shapes, even in loose condition.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a transit bag of the type described which is extremely quick and easy to use, both in filling and closing of the bag, as well as opening and emptying of the bag, to effect substantial savings in the handling costs of transit items and materials.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a transit-hag construction having the advantageous characteristics mentioned in the preceding paragraphs which is extremely strong and much more secure than prior transit containers, entirely safe and durable through out a long useful life, which is acceptable for mailing purposes, and which can be economically manufactured for sale at a reasonable price.
Other objects of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the following specification and referring to the accompanying drawings, which form a material part of this disclosure.
The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements, and arrangements of parts, which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter described, and of which the scope will be indicated by the appended claims.
FIGURE 1 is a front perspective view showing a transit bag constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, and shown in its closed, transit condition;
FIGURE 2 is a sectional elevational view taken substantially along the line 2-2 of FIGURE 1, somewhat enlarged for increased clarity, and broken away to conserve drawing space; and
FIGURE 3 is a rear elevational view showing the bag of FIGURE 1 in an intermediate stage of being opened or closed.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the transit bag shown therein is generally designated 10, and may be of generally rectangular or other preferably polygonal configuration. The bag includes a generally rectangular rear wall 11, and a similar generally rectangular front wall 12. The rear and front walls 11 and 12 may be fabricated of any suitable flexible sheet material, such as woven textiles or plastic, and the walls may have their bounding side and lower edges secured together, as by stitching or otherwise, to define an upwardly opening or open-top bag. Of course, the walls 11 and 12 may be formed of a single sheet folded upon itself, as along one side edge '13, and may have its opposite side 14 and lower side 15 secured together by any suitable means, such as stitching 16 and 17, respectively.
The upper bounding edges 20 and 21, of the rear and front walls 11 and 12, respectively, are not stitched or secured directly to each other. Rather, a slider fastener, generally designated 22, which includes stringers 23 and 24 and :a slider 25, is secured along the upper or top edges 20 and 21, being substantially coextensive therewith.
More specifically, the stringer 23 is secured along the rear upper edge 20, as by stitching 26, and the stringer 24 is secured along the upper or top edge 21 of the front wall 12, as by stitching 27. The slider 25 is, of course, movable along the stringers 23 and 24 between opposite ends thereof, toward the side edge 14 to open the bag 10 and toward the side edge 13 to close the bag.
Externally on the front wall 12, adjacent to the side edge 13, there is provided a pocket, generally designated 30. The pocket 30 includes a generally rectangular sheet 31 advantageously fabricated of flexible transparent material, such as plastic, and having a central cutout or through opening defining a front window for the pocket. The window opening 32 is preferably generally rectangular and of substantial size relative to the pocket. The pocket piece or sheet 31 may be located with one side edge 33 generally vertical and extending closely along the side edge 13 of the walls 11 and 12. The other side edge 34 and the lower edge 35 of the pocket piece 31 are respectively parallel to and spaced from the side edge 14 and lower edge 15 of the bag. The upper edge 36 of the pocket piece or sheet 31 extends in substantial parallelism with the upper edges 28 and 21 of the rear and front walls 11 and 12, being adjacent to but spaced below the upper wall edges. Any suitable means may be employed to secure the pocket piece 31 to the front Wall 12, such as lines of stitching 37, 33 and 39 respectively extending along the pocket-piece edges 33, 34 and 35. The upper-edge region of the pocket piece 31 remains unsecured or free of the wall 12, so that the pocket 30 opens upwardly generally toward the slide fastener 22, and is spaced below the upper bag edges.
Formed in the front wall 12, located between the upper edge 36 of pocket 30 and the upper front-wall edge 21, is a through opening or hole '42. The hole 42 may extend both through the front wall 12 and the adjacent region of stringer 24, as best seen in FIGURE 2; and, the hole or opening 42 may be bounded by an annular member or eyelet 43. Similarly, the rear Wall 11 and its secured stringer 23 is formed with a through opening 44 in substantial alignment with the through opening 42 and having a bounding annulus or eyelet 45. Thus, the aligned holes or openings 42 and 44 extend through both the front and rear walls 12 and 11, and are located between the pocket 30* and upper edges of the walls.
Removably inserted in the pocket 30 is a generally rectangular member or card 48, which is preferably substantially conformably received in the pocket and has its upper region 49 extending beyond the upper pocket edge 36 and terminating proximate to the slide fastener 22. The upper card region 49 is provided with a preferably reinforced through hole or opening 5% adapted to lie in substantial registry with the aligned holes 42 and 44 when the card is conformably seated in the pocket 30. The card may be provided with suitable indicia, such as an address and postage, preferably visibly exposed and manually accessible through the window 32. Also, the front wall 12 may be suitably marked with mailing directions or other indicia.
With the bag 10 in the closed condition of FIGURE 1, an elongate element or tie member 52 is extended through the aligned openings 50, 42 and 44- and over the upper wall edges 21) and 21 and the slide fastener 22, where it may be secured by twisting or tying, as at 53. The elongate element or tie 52. may be of plastic-covered wire, or other similar tie material.
With the tie 52 engaged about the slide fastener 22 in the closed condition of FIGURES 1 and 2, it is seen that the slider 25 is retained closed as it may not pass the tie, and the card 48 is retained in the pocket 30 as the card may not move upward out of the pocket.
However, in order to open the bag 10, it is only neces- 3 sary to untwist the tie member 52, whereupon the slider 25 may he slid to the side edge 14 and the top of the bag opened for access to the interior thereof.
In use between ditferent departments or plants of a company, the bag 11 may be filled and returned by chang ing or reversing the card 48 to exp'ose the desired address through-the pocket window 32; Filling and closing of the'bagfis equally simple, the slider 25 being movedto its closed position at the side 13, and the elongate element or tie member 52'extended through thealigned holes 42, 44 and 50 and tied about'theslide fastener 22.
From the foregoing, it is seen that the present invention provides a transit bag which fully accomplishes its intended objects and is well-adaptedto meet practical conditions of manufacture and use.
