' GARMENT BAG Filed may '7, 1956 INVENTOR. C/arence 1.. zffeeg/ ATTORNEY United States Patent "ice 2,874,827 GARMENT BAG Clarence L. Neely, 'Corydon, Iowa Application May 7, 1956, Serial No. 582,980
10 Claims. (Cl. 206-7) This invention relates to clothes containers and more particularly to garment bags for holding suits, dresses and like and which are supported by use of a coat hanger.
Germent bags are now in universal usage. They usually take two distinct forms, i. e., ones of paper envelope style having clasp fasteners and ones of plastic sheet material having an elongated zipper, for closing the entrance slot. In either case the item is rather expensive and a certain amount of time is expended in the closing of the bag opening after the clothes have been deposited therein. Another disadvantage of-the paper type bag is that one can not see through it to observe its contents.
Therefore, one of the principal objects of my invention is to provide a garment bag that is self closing.
A further object of this invention is to provide a transparent or translucent plastic garment bag that is so inexpensive as to permit its use by clothiers, cleaners, and like.
garment bag that permits easy and rapid placement of the garment into the bag or its removal from the bag.
A still further object of this invention is to provide an envelope type garment bag that hangs evenly and smoothly on a coat hanger even when clothes are in the bag.
Still further objects of my invention are to provide a garment bag that is economical in manufacture, durable in fise, and refined in appearance.
These and other objects will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
My invention consists in the construction, arrangements, and combination, of the various parts of the device, whereby the objects contemplated are attained as' hereinafter more fully set forth, specifically pointed, out in my claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which: i 1
Fig. 1 is a front view of my device with a garment therein shown by broken lines,
Fig. 2 is a back view of my garment bag,
Fig. 3 is a side view of the bag taken from line 3-3 of Fig. 2,
Fig.' 4 is an enlarged cross sectional view taken fro line 4-4 of Fig. 2 of the open side structure of the bag when a suit or like is in the same, and
Fig. 5 is an enlarged cross sectional view of the open side structure of the bag when not holding clothing and further illustrates its construction.
My bag consists of a plastic sheet front and a plastic sheet back 11. These two sheet portions are secured together at top, bottom, and left side by stitching 13, as shown in Fig. 1. Binding 14 is used around the sewn edges for strength. At the extreme center top of the bag is a small opening 15 through which the hook portion of a coat hanger 16 protrudes, as shown in Fig. 3. The entire right side of the bag is left open to provide the entrance and exit opening 17 as shown in Fig. 3. The free right side edge of both the front 10 and back 11 are also strengthened by binding 14 and stitching 13. The nu- A still further object of my invention is to provide a 2,874,827 Patented Feb. 24, 1959 meral 18 designates an opening sealing strip or panel. This panel 18 rests on the inner right side area of the back 11, as shown in Fig. 5, and is approximately of a width one third of the width of the garment bag. Its right side edge is sewed and bound to the right side edge of the back 11 and its top edge is bound and sewed between the top of-both the front 10 and back 11. This panel runs the complete vertical length of the bag and has its bottom edge sewed between the bottom of the front 10 and the back 11. Thus, the panel 18 is fastened at top, at bottom, and at its right side edge with its left side edge free. This free edge of the panel flap 18 is strengthened by binding 14 and stitching 13.
In use the coat or dress 19 on the hanger is slipped into the bag through the slot opening 17 and the hook portion of the hanger placed through the small top opening'15. The garment is permitted to have its trailing side portion pass to a position back of the panel flap 18, as shown in Fig. 4. With this side portion of the garment between the back -11 and flap 18, the free side of the flap will be held against the inside surface of the front 10, thereby automatically sealing the bag opening and eliminating zipper closing means, snaps, buttons, catches, clamps, and like. As the flap 18 is secured at top, bottom, and outer side edge, it will stay in proper position, and with the back 11 will produce a compartment in the bag for the right side portion of the garment. This feature aids in holding the garment against lateral swinging move ment on the hanger.
To remove the garment it is only necessary to move the right side portion of the garment from back of the flap 18 at which time the garment may be easily andquickly slid from the bag through the opening 17. The numeral 20 designates a name tag secured in the top portion of the bag.
Some changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of my garment bag without departing from the real spirit and purpose of my invention, and it is my intention to cover by my claims, any modified forms of structure or use of mechanical equivalents which may be reasonably included within their scope.
