page_text: I, MABEL LUCY FYDELL ROGERS, of 16, St. Mary's Mansions, Paddington, W.,
Spinster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved parcel carrier and it has for its object
to provide a simple and inexpensive means for this purpose.
In carrying the invention into effect I construct a handle which may consist
of a short length of leather or other suitable material rounded so as to be
comfortable to the hand, and having at its ends loops through one of which
is passed the end of a short piece of leather or other suitable material, which is
led across and threaded through the other loop from the opposite side and
the ends joined by a rivet or the like at or near the centre of the length of
the strip, one on each side of the same. I next pass through the looped ends
of the strip last described a strap of ordinary form and of any suitable material
the said strap running in the same direction as the handle aforesaid. The end
of a second strap similar to the first is next introduced between the strip and the
first strap and is drawn therethrough in a direction at right angles to the first.
It will be seen from the foregoing that the position of the handle and the
length of the straps may be easily adjusted to suit the dimensions of the parcel
to which the device is applied.

I, MABEL LUCY FYDELL ROGERS, of 16, St. Mary's Mansions, Paddington, W.,
Spinster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
This invention relates to an improved parcel carrier and it has for its object
to provide a simple and inexpensive means for this purpose.
In carrying the invention into effect I construct a handle which may consist
of a short length of leather or other suitable material rounded so as to be
comfortable to the hand, and having at its ends loops through one of which
is passed the end of a short piece of leather or other suitable material which is
led across and threaded through the other loop from the opposite side and

page_text: the ends joined by a rivet or the like at or near the centre of the length of
the strip, one on each side of the same. I next pass through the looped ends
of the strip last described a strap of ordinary form and of any suitable material
the said strap running in the same direction as the handle aforesaid. The end
of a second strap similar to the first is next introduced between the strip and the
first strap and is drawn therethrough in a direction at right angles to the first.
In order that the invention may be the better understood drawings are appended
in which
Fig. 1 is a plan of the underside of the handle of the improved parcel carrier.
Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same.

is the handle formed in the present instance of leather which is rounded
to afford a comfortable grip for the hand, and has provided at each end thereof
a loop "b."
"
"
Passed through the loops "b" is a short piece of rounded leather "e" crossed
in the centre and its ends secured to the main body of the piece the whole
forming approximately a figure "8" as shown in Fig. 1. d" and "e" are
straps of ordinary construction one of which ("d") is passed through the loops
of the crossed piece "c" and the other is passed under the strap "d"
between it and the piece "c" as shown by the drawings.
It will be seen from the foregoing that the position of the handle and the
length of the straps may be easily adjusted to suit the dimensions of the parcel
to which the device is applied.
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:-
The improved parcel carrier comprising a handle such as "a" with loops at
the end thereof through which is passed a short length of leather or other
material "c" joined together and arranged in the form of a figure "8" straps
of ordinary construction one of which is passed through the loops of the aforesaid
piece c" and the other passed between the first strap and the piece "c" the
two straps then being at right angles one to the other, substantially as herein
described and illustrated by the appended drawings.
