page_text: I, SAMUEL LLEWELLEN, of The Universal Leather Works, Wisemore, Walsall,
in the County of Staffordshire, Harness and Saddle Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved cycle saddle tool bag, which consists of an
elongated leather bag of various shapes rivetted or stitched together with a flap.
The bag is provided with a central strap and buckle, this said strap is passed
through two or more slots in the bag. At the buckle end I fix the strap to the
flap, the said strap passes around tools in the inside and out through the last slot
around the bag and then buckled in order to secure the same together.
On each side of the central strap I fix a strap to the top front of the bag, and
pass the same through six or more slots, and at the top of the flap of the bag
I fix a buckle so as to permit each strap to pass in and out of the various slots and
around tools in the bag and fastened to the buckle on the outside hereinbefore
described.
The object of my invention is to provide loops in the inside of the bag to hold
tools together and so prevent them from clashing against each other by means of
the straps above mentioned.

In Fig's. 1 2, 3, 4, and 5, the bag a is formed by cutting out a piece of leather 1
to the shape shown in Fig. 4, with the sides or ends hent inwards, and folded
together as shown by the end view in Fig. 2. To the ends i of the bag a I fix
split buttons j and hollow fasteners, the split button j engaging with the
inside of the hollow fastener for holding the hag together. In various parts of
the bag a I cut slots d for the purpose of passing the central strap b and the side 2
straps through so as to form the loops in the inside of the bag to hold the
various tools rigid. The buckles c and the strap bare rivetted or fixed to the
flap e by means of fasteners & passed through the leather and clinched..
If preferable any suitable fastener or a lock to open with a key may be fixed to
the bag a in the place of the buckle e on the central strap b, for securing the flap 2
to the bag.
In Fig's. 6, 7, 8, and 9, the bag a is constructed of leather and secured together
by rivets, and is provided with a central strap band buckle e, this said strap b
is passed through two or more slots d cut or punched in tne bag. At the buckle
end I fix the strap to the flap e, the said strap passes around tools in the inside 3
of the flap and out through the last slot around the bag and then buckled in order
to secure the same together.
On each side of the central strap b I fix a strap f to the top front of the
bag, and pass the same through six or more slots d, and at the top of the flap e
of the bag a I fix a buckle g so as to permit each strap f to pass in and out of a
the various slots d and around tools that may be placed in the bag a and fastened
to the buckle g on the outside herein before described.
The piece of leather is cut into the desired shape, bent and pressed over and
fixed together with rivets or fasteners h at each end of the said bag a.
The object of my invention is to provide loops f in the inside of the bag to hold
tools together and so prevent them from clashing against each other by means of
the straps above mentioned.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. In a cycle saddle tool bag, the combination of the various parts described in
the above specification and illustrated in Fig's. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, of the accompanying
drawing.
2. In a cycle saddle tool bag, the combination of the various parts described in
the above specification and illustrated in Fig's. 6, 7, 8, and 9, of the accompanying
drawing.
3. In a cycle saddle tool bag, tue combination of the bag, and the straps,
buckles, fasteners, and slots, to form the loops to hold tools together and so prevent
them from clashing against each other, substantially as herein described.
4. As a new article of manufacture, a cycle saddle tool bag cut out of a piece of
leather fitted and folded together and secured by rivets, buttons and fasteners,

page_text: and straps with buckles, or lock and key, substantially as described for the purpose
specified.
