ATTORNEY UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES W. KURTZ, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO BRADLEY, KURTZ & 00., OF SAME PLACE.
BAGS-FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 254,440, dated February 28, 1882.
Application filed January 16, 1882.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES WM. KURTZ, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bag-Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
In the shipment of grain bags are employed which can be quickly closed after the same have been filled with the grain, so that the same is securely held without loss. After the grain has arrived at the point of destination it is discharged from the bags, which are then returned to be used again for shipping grain, and finally when they are worn by continued use they are sold to be used for packing fertilizers or other compounds. The simpler and less expensive, therefore, the bags and their fastening devices can be made the better for the shipper.
The object of this invention is to furnish an improved bag-fastener, whereby the grain is reliably secured in the bag without danger of loss, and by which the bag can be conveniently opened, and finally be sold for other uses without having any expensive parts thereon.
The invention consists of a bag having a hem at the mouth, through which two shirringcords are drawn in opposite direction, each cord being extended to the outside through openings at opposite points of the hem, the shining-cords being tied by knots at the ends.
To the hem, at the inside of the mouth, is attached a square flap or apron by one corner, said flap being placed over the grain after the bag is filled and then the mouth closed by pulling the shirring-cords and tying them together.
Inthe accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a'bag with my improved fastener; and Fig. 2 is a side view, showing the bag in closed position.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A in the drawings represents a grain-bag of the usual size and shape. The mouth of the grain-bag A is provided with a hem, a, which has at the outside,flat diametrically-opposite points of the mouth a pair of openings, b, through which two endless shirring-cords, B, are passed to the outside. The shirring-cords (No model.)
B run in opposite direction to each other through the hem, one cord B passing out through one set of apertures while the other passes out through the opposite set of apertures. The outer ends of the shirring-cords B are tied by knots to prevent their being withdrawn from the hem. The knots admit also of the easier opening of the bag and prevent the cords from slipping through when formin g the tie and after the tie is formed.
To the inside of the hem a, at a point intermediate between the apertures for the cords, is applied by one corner a small square flap or apron, O, which apron is placed over the grain when the bag is filled, after which the mouth is closed by tightly drawing the hem together by means of the cords and then tying the exterior ends of the cords. The interior pressure of the grain upon the apron and tie formed by the cords holds the bag tightly closed and prevents the escape of any grain therefrom. For opening the bag it is simply necessary to pull either one of the shirringcords and open the tie, after which the mouth of the bag will be readily distendedby the pressure of the grain, so that the same is discharged from the bag.
I am fully aware that hemmed bags with shirring-cords running in opposite direction for closing 'the bags are old and well known,
and I do not lay any claim to the same.
I am also aware that aprons have been at tached to the inner edge of the hem along one of their sides, which, however, required large aprons and had the disadvantage that the apron was drawn together with the hem, so as to form folds upon'the grain, and not close smoothly and tightly the contracted mouth of the bag. This is avoided by my improved mode of fastening the apron at one corner of the same, as thereby a smaller apron is required, which extends diagonally below the mouth of the bag and which is retained in entirely flat shape upon the top of the grain.
The advantages of my improved bag-fastener are that the bags can be made very cheaply, as less material and no metallic fastening devices are required that the bag may be filled entirely up to the hem; that it may be quickly closed by inexperienced hands, discharged attached at one corner to thelower inside edge without any loss of time at the point of destiof the hem, so as to extend diagonally below nation, and returned without ever getting out the mouth of the bag when the same is closed, 15 of order, and that it is capable of being sold substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
