Mr.. Z. w. Trout, as we stated
last week, has secured patent for
his mail bag fastener. The inven-
ton is great Improvement over
the present style Of fastening, as it
dispenses with the numerous sta
pies and leather straps. The I'M
prOvcmcnt consists of two folds of
leather, three to four inches in
width, and varying in size Of mail
bag, which overlap each other and
cover the mouth Of the bag. There
are also two metallic straps attached
to opposite sides of the bag by a
means of a hook hinge rivcted on
the back of the same. These straps
overlap the two folds above de-
scribed, and connect in the center
with staple that is fastened to the
inner side of the back of the bag,
which passes through the front of
the bag, the two folds and metallic
straps leaving space enough to adj
nit the lock. The two folds each
contain strip ofsole leather one
inch in width rivctcd on the exter-
ior margin, so as to prevent the
folds from being passed beneath the
metal strap. The invention is con-
sidcred by those who are experts
in such. matter to be u very excel
lent one, and we hope will re-
alizc something for its ingenuity.
