Description
July 19, 1966 K, A, CASS 3,261,387
CHANGE BAG Filed April 9, 19.54
FIG. 1 53 INVENTOR. KENNETH A-CASS.
It is customary to remove the currency contents of a cash register to a money bag for safe keeping during nonbusiness hours, and it is desirable to provide means whereby the various denominations, which are kept in separate compartments in a cash register drawer, can be readily transferred to various compartments of a money bag, without mixing, and from which transfer back to Ithe cash register drawer can be readily effected.
The present invention is directed to a money bag having three slide fastener closed compartments lying side by side which are subdivided to provide separate pockets for coins of different denominations and bills, and from which the coins of a particular denomination are readily removable. The bag comprises a central bill compartment formed of section of canvas or duck, and closed by a slide fastener along one edge, and side compartments formed by a further section of duck in combination with the center compartment, and closed by slide fasteners disposed along the opposite sides of the bag, such slide fasteners extending parallel with the central compartment slide fastener.
The above .and other novel features of the invention will appear more fully hereinafter from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is expressly understood that the drawings are employed for purposes of illustration only and are not designed as a definition of the limits of the invention, reference being had for this purpose to the appended claims.
In the drawings, wherein like reference characters indicate like parts:
FIGURE l is a top plan view of the change bag;
FIGURE 2 is a side elevational View;
FIGURE 3 is an end elevational view;
FIGURE 4 is a longitudinal section taken substantially on the line 4 4 of FIGURE 2;
FIGURE 5 is an enlarged broken sectional view taken on the line 5 5 of FIGURE 2;
FIGURE 6 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional View taken on the line 6 6 of FIGURE 2;
FIGURE 7 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 7 7 of FIGURE 2, and
FIGURE 8 is an enlarged fragmen-tary sectional view taken on the line 8 8 of FIGURE 2.
The change bag comprises a center compartment formed by two spaced substantially rectangular sections 20 and 22 of liexible material, such as heavy canvas or duck, and there may be interposed between such sections a central dividing section 24 of duck extending to the en-tire length of the center compartment to provide two pockets adapted to contain currency in the form of paper money, and receipts or the like. Outside of the sections 20 and 22, are additional rectangular sections 26 and 28 of ilexible material such as duck, the section 26 and section 20 forming an additional compartment, on one side of the center compartment or compartments, and the sections 28 and 22 forming a further compartment on the other side of the center compartment. The sections 20 and 22, and the sections 26 and 28 may each comprise a single piece of duck, folded along the lower edges, if desired. All thick- ICC nesses 20 and 22, 24 and 26 and 28 are bound along their lower and end edges 29 by a fold of tape 30, that extends along the lower edges and part way along the side edges of the sections 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28, and assemblage is stitched together as at 31.
The upper edges of the sections 20 and 22 have stitched thereto, along their inside faces, as at 32 and 34, the side tapes 36 and 38, of a slide fastener closure 40, which extends the entire length of top edges of the sections 20 and 22.
It will be seen that the side sections 26 and 28 are narrower than the sections 20 and 22, and terminate short of the upper edges of sections 20 and 22 by an amount substantially the width of one of the tapes of a slide fastener. The side section 26, and the upper portion 32 of the section 22 have stitched thereto the side tapes 44 and 46 respectively of a slide fastener 48 which likewise extends the length of the bag, and the side section 28, and the upper edge portion 34 of section 22 are similarly provided with a slide fastener 50, the side tapes 52 and 54 of which, respectively, are stitched to the edge portion of the section 28, and the upper edge portion 34 of the section 22.
In this manner it will be seen that the slide fastener closure 40 extends along the upper edge of the sections 20 and 22, while the slide fasteners 48 and 50 extend along the side, .in spaced parallel relation to the closure 40.
The side section 26 and section 20 may be stitched as at 60 and 62 to provide three pockets 64, 66 and 68 of equal width and depth, while the side section 22, and side section 28 may be stitched as at 70 and 72 to provide two relatively wide pockets 74 and 76 at the ends spaced by a relatively narrow pocket 78. The stitching 60 and 62, and 70 and 72 will extend from the lower edge 29 substantially to the slide fasteners 48 and 50 respectively, the stitching extending into the tapes 44 and 52 of such slide fasteners.
It will be seen that the slide lfastener tape 36 on the inside of the upper edge portion 32 of the section 22, and the tape 46 on the outside may Iboth be secured to the edge portion 32 by row-s of stitching -33 and 35, -while the tape 318, yand tape 54 may similarly be secured to the upper edge portion 34 by rows of stitching I37 and 39. Similarly the slide fastener tapes 44 and 52 may be stitched to the upper edges of the side sections by rows of stitching as at 45 and 47 and 51 and 53. The upper edge of the center section 2'4 may be provided with a folded over tape 25 stitched thereto, and extending substantially the length thereof.
It will be seen that binding tape 30 terminates at or just short of the side tapes 44 and `52 of the closures 48 and 50, and that ends of the side tapes 44 and 52 of the closures 48 and 50 are folded inwardly and stitched together as lat 80, in FIGURE 7. Further the side tapes 46 and 54 of the closures 48 and l50, 4and t-he side tapes 36 and 38 of closure 40 -are similarly turned in at their ends and stitched `as at 82, in FIGURE 6. In this manner the ends of the bag, above the tape 30 are closed, in a relatively neat fashion.
It will be seen that by arranging the Iside compartments with less depth than the center compartment, that the slide fastener 48 -and 50 for closing the same are disposed in the planes of the sides and thereby -do not add materially to the thickness of the multiple compartment Ib-ag, as would result had all slide fasteners been arranged in a common plane along the upper edge.
=In practice, the center compartment, if divided as at 24, readily yaccommodates receipts, bills, and printed currency accumulated during the day. The compartments 64, y66, `68, 74 and 76, readily accommodate pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars, While the compartment 78 may be used to store cylindrical paper coin wrappers in flattened form. The coin compartments on either side may be sequentially emptied by the partial opening of the slide fasteners so that `when the change bag is inverted the coins of each pocket may be conveniently dumped into the corresponding compartments olf a cash register drawer, in sequence, or dumped for counting, Without mixing of the various denominations.
Although a single embodiment of the -invention has been illustrated and described, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. As various changes in the construction and Varrangement may he made without departing from the spirit of the invention, as twill be apparent to those skilled in the art, reference will be had to the appended claims -for a definition of the limits of the invention.
