HANDLE FOR POCKET-BOOKS AND SATCHELS.

`SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No; 227,692, dated May 18, 1880.

` Application filed January 5, 1880.

To all whom t't may concern.-

Be it known that I. CHARLES W. JENKS, of

the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Handles for Pocket- Books, Satchels, Snc., which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of `a pocket-book embodying my invention, the book being shown dotted. Fig. 2 is an end view thereof. Fig. 3 is a sect-ion of the frame thereof in line :r w, Fig. 2. Figs. 4 and 5 'are end views of modifications.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several f1 gures.

My invention consists of an improved pocket'- book having a vertical sliding handle connected to its ends, adapted to slide on guides attached to the ends, as hereinafter fully set forth.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a pocket-book, and B a handle, which, in the present case, consists of side pieces, a, and a top 'connecting-piece or handle proper, b, thus forming a three-sided figure, which may, however, be of curved form.

-The ends of the side pieces, a, are connected to the ends ofthe frame of the'pocket-book byv the latter is drawn outto its full extent, the limit being stops suitably applied, the part b thus projecting from the body of the book so as to be readily grasped, as shown by the dotted lines, Fig. l, and conveniently carry the book.

When the handle is not required for service, or the book is to be placed in the pocket or elsewhere, the handle is moved in to its full extent and folds snugly against the body of the book. f

In cases where the book opens at the sidessay as in Figs. 4 and 5-the handle is jointed vto the sides of the central brace or guard, d,

of the book, the ends of the brace or guard being connected to the axial pinsof the jointed frame of the book, or to one section of said frame.

If desired, the sides of the frame and side pieces of the handle maybe tubular and enter each other telescopically, or tubes may be placed within the body of the book insteadof at the sides, and receive the sliding sides of the handle without producing different results from that stated.

The adaptability of the handle to a Satchel,
