Abstract:
A purse including:a front planar member;a back planar member aligned with and spaced from the front planar member;a first side planar member aligned to engage one end of the front and back planar members;a second side planar member aligned to engage another end of the front and back planar members;a bottom planar member aligned to engage bottom portions of the front and back and first and second side planar members;a top planar member having portions aligned adjacent to the back planar member, wherein each planar member is formed of cardboard, and the top planar member includes, a first planar member having first, second and third portions, the first portion being pivotably coupled to the uppermost portions of the back planar member so that the second portion thereof will cover the opening, and a second planar member having first and second portions, the first portion having an opening formed therein and the second portion of the second planar member being pivotably coupled to the third portion of the first planar member so that the first portion of the second planar member is aligned adjacent to the front planar member when the opening is covered;a decorative member for engaging an outside wall of each one of the front, back, side and top planar members the decorative member including a predetermined pictorial decorative representation on each one of the front, back, side and top planar members;an adhesive member for coupling the decorative member to the outside wall of each one of the front, back, side and top planar members;a lamination member for engaging each one of the planar members;an adhesive member for coupling the lamination members to the planar members;a first plurality of elongated adhesive members for coupling the front, back, side and bottom planar members together to form an enclosure having an opening formed therein;a second plurality of elongated adhesive members for pivotably coupling portions of the top planar member which are aligned adjacent to the back planar member so that the top planar member can be selectively moved to cover the opening, the first plurality of elongated adhesive members and the second plurality of elongated adhesive members including a predetermined number of horizontally and vertically extending strips of hinging tape;a first coupling means for coupling the top planar member to the front planar member so that the top planar member can be held in a position covering the opening, and the first coupling means including a latch mounted for pivotable movement on the front planar member to cooperate with the opening in the first portion of the second planar member to lock the top planar member to the front planar member;a handle coupled to the top planar member; anda mirror coupled to an inside portion the first planar member.
