SPECIFICATION.
FETTITATO
Improvements in and connected with Dressing Cases or Bags, Jewel
Cases, Travelling Bags, Boxes, and the like.
I, FRIEDRICH GRETSCH, of 51, Domstrasse, Offenbach on the Main, in the
German Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a novel combination of dressing case or bag with a
jewel case, travelling bag or the like whereby, when the article is closed up, it
presents the appearance of an ordinary travelling bag.
For this purpose I employ a jewel box or travelling bag of any suitable con-
struction the lid of which also forms the bottom of the dressing case, the frame of
the said dressing case opening in two halves on the principle known in the trade
as the "Old Patent Frame" and the hinge of one half of the dressing bag frame
also forming the hinge by which the dressing case is connected to the jewel box,
travelling bag or the like.
Although I have described my invention as arranged for the upper part to
serve as a dressing case it will be obvious that the upper part may be used as
a bag, jewel box or otherwise and the lower part as a dressing case, the main
object of the invention being the combination of the old patent frame, with a
box, bag or the like, in the manner and for the purpose, described.

Improvements in and connected with Dressing Cases or Bags, Jewer
Cases, Travelling Bags, Boxes, and the like.
1, FRIEDRICH GRETSCH, of 51, Domstrasse, Offenbach on the Main, in the
German Empire, 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:―
This invention relates to a novel combination of dressing case or bag with a
jewel case, travelling bag or the like whereby, when the article is closed up, it
presents the appearance of an ordinary travelling bag.
To enable my invention to be readily understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :--

page_text: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a combined jewel case and dressing case or
bag made according to my invention:
Figure 2 is an end view of the same shewing the jewel case open; and,
Figure 3 is an end view shewing the dressing case open.
a represents a dressing bag of ordinary construction, the lid 6 of the bag,
forming the bottom of the jewel case c, which opens in halves d, e as shewn in
Figure 2 on the principle known in the trade as the "Old Patent Frame." The
hinge at of the half part e of the jewel case may also form the hinge by which
the said jewel case c is hinged to the dressing bag a or separate hinges may be
employed placed one behind the other.
By this arrangement it will be obvious that the jewel case and dressing bag
although connected together can be opened and used independently of one another
as will be clearly seen by reference to the drawing.
Although I have described and illustrated my invention as arranged for the
upper part to serve as a jewel case it will be obvious that the upper part may be
used as a dressing case or bag or otherwise, and the lower part as a jewel case the
essential feature of the invention being the combination of the "Old Patent
Frame," with a box, bag or the like as described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. The described improvements in and connected with dressing cases or bags,
jewel cases, travelling bags, boxes and the like, such improvements consisting in
the combination of what is known as the "Old Patent Frame" with a box, bag
or the like, substantially as, and for the purposes, described.
2. The manufacture and use of the combined jewel case and dressing bag,
herein before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
