_Improvements in or relating to Cycle Tool Bags, or Satchels or
Valises or Letter Bags.
ARTHUR MAJOR LERMIT, 130, Great Charles Street, Birmingham, Leather
Goods Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention consists in the application of a device to be added to the tool
bags or satchels, whereby the name of the owner of the machine or article may
be easily discerned.
In order to do this I cut out a portion of the leather, or other material, large
enough to insert a small address card. I then place a piece of transparent material
over the card to keep out wet and dirt, and then stitch or fasten in some other
way, a piece of leather at the back to form a pocket to hold the address card in
position one end of the pocket being left open so that the card may be removed
at will.

Improvements in or relating to Cycle Tool Bags, or Satchels or
Valises or Letter Bags.
I, ARTHUR MAJOR LERMIT, of 130, Great Charles Street, Birmingham, Leather
Goods Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 for improvements in or relating to cycle tool bags, satchels,
valises, or letter bags, consists substantially in the construction and application
of a device or contrivance which may be termed a pocket" or receptacle,"
the purpose of which is to receive a card bearing a name, address or other matter
To effect this object I form an aperature of any required shape or configuration
in the bag or the like, and in any required position, by preference in the flap,
or fall over, and in one corner, and in an oblique or slanting position, to the inner
side of the flap, and over the said aperature I place a piece of transparent material,
such as celluloid' or the like and over this a cover of leather or other material
both of which are secured to the said flap by stitching three of the sides of the
leather, thus leaving one side free to admit of the card and its matter thereon
"

page_text: being passed in, and between the transparent material and the leather or other
material, the "pocket" or receptacle is thus formed,
Or by a similar mode I construct the pocket upon the outside of the flap or
fall over instead of the inside, and as before described, and for this purpose I
should employ a piece of leather or other material and in this I should form the
aperature instead of the flap, I then arrange the transparent material upon the
flap and cover over with the leather, or other material before named, and secure
to the said flap by stitching three of its sides, leaving one side or end free to
admit of the card and its matter being passed in and between the transparent
material and the leather, a "patch pocket," is thus formed.
Or I may construct a rim or frame of metal somewhat corresponding in its form
to the before described leather and provided with an aperature, and slightly raised
with tools to form a receptacle to hold the address card and its matter, the edge
or near thereto would be perforated to admit of stitching to the bag, one or both
ends would be free, and the elasticity of the metal will allow the said end or ends
to be raised sufficient for the card to be inserted when it will close by its own
power.
"
I may secure or affix this device in various ways besides stitching, and in any
required position and to bags made of leather, or of such material as
bags,' satchels," "valises or letter bags are made.

The aim and object of my invention being to denote at a glance the name and
address of the owner, or other matter, and to protect the same from exposure.
And in order that this my said invention may be more fully understood I
shall now proceed more particularly to describe the same and for that purpose
I shall refer to the several figures on the sheet of drawings hereunto annexed
the same letters of reference indicating corresponding parts throughout all the
figures.

forming a device or pocket" for receiving an address card, at the back of flap
and constructed according to my invention.
Fig. 2 is a front view as Fig. 1, but shewing the flap or fall over raised, and
the mode of constructing the said " pocket.""
Fig. 3 is a front view elevation of said bag with flap but with "pocket" at the
front of flap.
Fig. 4 is a front view elevation of said bag with flap, but having a metallic rim
to the pocket, at the front of flap.

the cover stitched upon b, at f, g is the free side to admit of the ticket h, i, is the
bag fastening.
While I have described the features of my invention, and the object I have
attained and shewn upon the sheet of drawings, I would observe in conclusion
that I do not limit myself to those drawings as I may vary or modify the same,
without departing from the principle of my invention.
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 improvements in or relating to cycle tool bags, or satchels, or valises, or
letter bags.'
1. A bag, satchel, or the like provided with an aperture, having transparent
material at the back, with cover, for receiving a card with name, address, or other
