WARDROBE TRUNK vANID THE LIKE.

Application iiled January This invention relates .to Awardrobe trunks and the like7 and the object otmy invention is to arrange Within the trunk a compartment for golf sticks or bags containing golf sticks, the compartment so ar-A ranged as to have the longest length possi# ble with respect to thelength of the trunk.

In the drawings;

Fig. lis a perspective view of a wardrobe trunk showing the relative location of the compartment Fig. 2 is a transverse horizontal section taken on line 2 2 of Fig. l; and

i Fig. 3 is a detail View of one end of the compartment. v

As shown in Fig. l, the trunk consists of a bottom section l and a. top section 2 which are hinged together, the lat-ter serving asa lid or cover for the trunk. lVhen the trunk is open it stands on one end. Arranged Vdiagonally 'of the bot-tom portion is a corn-v partment 3 of sutlicient width to accommodate the usual set of golf sticks. closed in Fig. .3,.the compartment 3 may or may not have end pieces 4.

wearing apparel as may be desired tovpack.

It will thus be seen that I have provided the usual wardrobe trunk, or asteamer trunk 40 with aV compartment so arranged as to get the greatestv length available, dispensing with the necessity of checking the golf sticks in a separate container, thereby eliminating excess baggage charges on `the ladditio-nal container, and eliminating Vunnecessary time in attending to thek checking of the extra vcontainer'. The excess charge mentioned is based upon the length of the container eX- ceeding the standardsizes fixed by railroad carriers. f

I claim:

l. A trunk adapted to receive articles of Y greater length than itself having a compartment extending diagonally from two oppositercorners -and having drawers fitted `to and occupying at least.` one space between the diagonal coiripartinent and the sider of thetrunk. f I

V2. A trunk adapted to receive articles ofV greater length thanitself having a compartment extending diagonally from two opposite corners anolhaving drawerstted to and occupying at least one y. space between the diagonal compartment and the side of the trunk, the'space betweenthe other side of the diagonal compartment and side of the trunk having at least one drawer, and the remaining portion of. the space divided into open compartments.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature. v

CALVIN BULLocK.
