PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Receptacle for Facilitating the Holding or Carrying
of Children and Goods.
I, ROBERT ELI MARLAND of Spring View Luddenden Foot near Halifax in
the County of York Decorator, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in bags, basses, or portable receptacles
for carrying or assisting in carrying children or articles of different kinds, the object
being to construct a bag or bass which when fitted on and carried by the shoulders of
the wearer hangs in front and forms a convenient receptacle for carrying or assisting
in carrying children, or for carrying rolls of paper, brushes, tools and the like when
worn by paper hangers decorators or plasterers and is useful and convenient when
worn by conductors, railway guards, sportsmen and others.
"
When the improved bag or bass is worn by paper hangers, the usual " paper
hangers apron
can be dispensed with. The bag or bass is made of various sizes,
and when to be worn by women for carrying children is preferably made ornamental
by decoration. The bag can be used as an ordinary hand bass, or bag the suspending
strap or straps forming a convenient handle.
According to this invention the bag or bass is made of leather, canvas, string
net work, or other material, and of such shape as may best adapt itself to the
purpose for which it is to be used. At or near each end of the bag or bass I form
two loops or handles, and through the two loops at each end is passed a strap or
cord the ends of which are connected by buckle or hook to straps or loops worn on
or around each arm and near the shoulder of the wearer.
The arm straps or loops are connected by a strap or band which crosses between
the shoulders.
Each strap may be made in one piece or made adjustable so that they will fit
different figures.
The straps or cords connecting the bag or bass to the shoulder loops can readily
be lengthened or shortened so as to vary the position of the bag or bass.
Dated this 10th day of January 1893.

When the improved bag or bass is worn by paper hangers, the usual " paper
hangers apron can be dispensed with. The bag or bass is made of various sizes,
and when to be worn by women for carrying children is preferably made ornamental
by decoration. The bag can be used as an ordinary hand bass, or bag the suspending
strap or straps forming a convenient handle.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings in

I form two loops or handles 2, and through the two loops at each end is passed a
strap or cord 3 the ends of which are connected by buckle or hook 4 to straps or
loops 6 worn on or around each arm and near the shoulder of the wearer.
The arm straps or loops 6 are connected by a strap or band 5 which crosses
between the shoulders.
Each strap 5 may be made in one piece or made adjustable so that they will fit
different figures.
The straps or cords 3 connecting the bag or bass 1 to the shoulder loops 6
can readily be lengthened or shortened so as to vary the position of the bag
or bass 1.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed and carried into practice,
I declare that what I claim is :-

in combination, substantially as and for the purpose described and illustrated by the
accompanying drawings.
