LUGGAGE-CARRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 610,251, dated September 6, 1898.

Application filed June 30, 1898. Serial No. 684,870. (No model.) i

Be it known that I, DAVID M. J .i l/VALL, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Luggage-` following descriptionof my said invention, taken in connection with the accompanying1 sheet of drawings, forms a full, clear, and eX- act specification, which will enable others skilled in the art to 'which it appertains to` make and use the same.

This invention has general reference 'to luggagecarriers; and it'consists, essentially, in the novel and peculiar combination of parts and details of construction, as hereinafter first fully set forth and described, and then pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings already mentioned, which serve to illustrate my said invention more fully, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved parcel-carrier. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same. v Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the bag in an open condition. Fig. 4. is a plan of the frame of this device.

Like parts are designated by corresponding letters of reference in all the figures.

The object of this invention is the production of an eicient, serviceable, durable, and convenient luggage-carrier that shall be adapted for use on various vehicles-such as the dashboard of carriages, the handle-bars of bicycles, sc-and that shall be very light in Weight.

A in the drawings designates a Wire or other rod or bar having on its ends hook-shaped crooks B B', by means of which the device is properly affixed to any suitable object, the bar being made from suitable material capable of being bent into proper shape. Near A eyes h', to which are hinged or swiveled links G G', hereinafter to be referred to.

D is a bar slightly shorter than the bar A and having its ends formed into hooks DD", by means of which it is secured to the bar A. This bar D has formed near its hooks loops d, as clearly shown in Fig. 4, to Which the links G are attached.

Eis a bag preferably constructed of netting or reticulated fabric, though other textile fabric, rubber cloth, leather, or` other suitable material may be employed. The a `of the fabric and fform a covering for the bars.

G GrV are two pairs of` links formed of wire and having eyes g ontheir ends, which engage each other and the eyes h and loops d, respectively. These links connect the hars A vD and prevent them from being pulled apart beyond azpredetermined distance, and they form ends to the bag, the end strands or loops of which are passed over the links, as clearly shown in the drawings.

The device described, owing to the introduction of the links connecting the bars, is stronger, more durable, and more serviceable than any similar parcel-carrier with Which I am acquainted.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim- 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a luggage-carrier consisting, essentially, of a main bar having its ends formed into hooks adapted to engage an object to Which the luggage-carrier is to `be attached, eyes formed on said bar adjacent to said hooks, an auxiliary bar shorter than the main bar and having hooks adapted to snap onto the main bar, eyes formed in said auxiliary bar adjacent to said hooks, links, connecting said bars and' formed of rods having their ends formed into eyes engaging each other and the said eyes on the bars respectively, and a bag secured with its sides to the said bars and With its ends to said links, as and for the object setv set forth. -Y

2. A frame for a parcel-carrier consisting, essentially, of a bar, hooks at the endthereof, eyes adjoining these hooks, a furtherbar slightly shorter than the said first-mentioned bar and having hooks at its ends adapted to engage the said first-mentioned bar, loops adjoining these hooks, and links having eyes at their ends engaging each other` and the eyes and loops of the bars respectively, as and for the use and purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

DAVID M. J. WALL.
