We, GEORGE HUPPE, of the Firm of Huppe & Bender, Manufacturers, and
GUSTAV JACOB GEII, Manager of London Branch of the said Firm, both of 12,
Edmund Place, Aldersgate Street, in the City of London, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to bag frames.
Hitherto such frames have usually been made of plain metal either covered
with leather or other material or coloured to more or less match the colour
of the material of which the bag is made.
The object of this invention is to give to uncovered frames the appearance of
being covered, and to this end it consists in stamping upon the external surface
of the metal ribs and grooves or indentations of a shape or pattern corresponding
with the grain of the material to be imitated, the surfaces thus ornamented being
painted the desired colour to match the material of the bag.
