PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Travelling and like Bags.
I, LOUIS MARX of 9 Lower James Street, Golden Square, London W.
Leather Bag Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be.
as follows:
-
My invention relates to an improved device to be used in connection with:
travelling, dressing bags or the like.
In constructing a bag according to my invention, I preferably, in opening the
same, cause the sides to fall back; and I also make the crossbars, at each end of
the framework, flat on the inside.
On the ends of the bag, or on said crossbars, I attach at each side a vertical
pin of brass or other metal, arranged so that a corresponding tube on the moveable
board or standard may fit over said pin and hold the board in its place.
In the case of a double standard, where one part serves as a strut or support
when out of the bag, I may make the tube on said standard in two portions, fixing
one portion on to the one leaf of said standard and the other on to the other leaf
or strut, so that when the two leaves are brought together for the purpose of
placing the whole in the bag, the two tubes will come together one above the
other, and they will in this position pass over the pins aforesaid.
I may also, if desirable, reverse the above arrangement, and fix the tube on to
the end or crossbar, and the pin or pins on to the moveable board or standard. A
moveable standard of greater length can be placed in the bag along the other or
longer side, the same pins serving in this case also.
It will be seen, that by using my above described invention in connection with
travelling, dressing bags and the like, there will be a greater economy of space.
than has been before obtainable.

Improvements in Travelling and like Bags.
1, LOUIS MARX of No. 9, Lower James Street Golden Square, London, W..
Leather Bag Manufacturer, 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 -
My invention relates to an improved device to be used in connection with
travelling, dressing bags or the like, and has for its objects the construction of the
bag or the like so that space is economised without detriment to the arrangement
of details.
In order that my said invention may be clearly understood, I have appended the
accompanying sheet of drawings in which

In carrying my invention into effect I preferably make the sides B. B' Figure 1
to fall back, and I also make the crossbars C at the end of the framework flat on
the inside.
On the ends of the bag A A', or on said crossbar C I attach vertical pins or
sockets a arranged so that in the case of attaching a pin to the frame of the bag,

accordance with my said invention fix the tubes upon the crossbar C and the pins
upon the moveable standard c as shewn by a Figure 2.
I may adopt for the purpose of obtaining a better display of the interior of
the bag or the like, a Bergmann or other suitable frame in which the sides A A'
are arranged to fall back when opened. The use of flat crossbars C and
hinges b, b in combination with the arrangement of the moveable standards herein-
before referred to, enables me to economise a considerable amount of interior
space hitherto wasted without increasing the exterior length of said bag. In an
ordinary bag, about an inch of space is saved by the arrangement of the cross.

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 ;
In a travelling or like bag, the arrangement of the crossbar and flat hinges in
. combination with moveable end standards, with pins or tubes for attachment
substantially as and for the purposes herein described with reference to the
drawings.
