Abstract: The trimming for bags and suitcases includes a protective panel made of padded material suitable to be applied to the front face of the bags and lies longitudinally to the front face, so as to partially follow its border; at least one slit is formed on the protective panel and constitutes the opening of a compartment for accommodating a partially extractable card on which appropriate identification data can be written.

Abstract: A connector for handles and shoulder belts of bags, or other traveling containers, includes a base member (1) provided with holes (2) or other mechanism for securing it to the bag. Provided at the ends of the base member, on the exposed face, are equal and parallel protrusions (101) provided with respective transverse holes (5) aligned with each other and having pivoted thereon, by use of a spindle (4) or any other suitable device, a body member (3) which may effect a 180.degree. oscillation about the spindle and which--when disposed upright and abutted against the base member--exposes a recess also directed upwards (7). The flattened end portion of an axially hollow stem (8) is pivotably connected by use of a screw (10) or any other suitable device, orthogonally to the pivotal spindle (4) of the member so that it can effect an oscillation of sufficient amplitude, the end portion of the handle or shoulder-belt (M-T) being secured by means of a screw or any other suitable device within the hollow stem.

Abstract: The bag is fitted at its top end portion with a substantially semi-cylindrical framework (a), with its arcuate part turned upwards, and with a shoulder strap or a handle (3) attached to rigid end sides (G1, G2) thereof. The bag body is fastened to the four lower side edges of the framework. The arcuate upper part of the framework is defined and closed by one or two flexible pieces (P1, P2) associated with the framework through rods (17, 117) and slat-like members (18, 118), and which are stretchable and foldable in a bellows-like manner, and are lockable in bag-closing position. To open the bag, the unclamped flexible pieces need only be drawn away from each other and folded bellows-like at the lower outward side ends of the framework.

Abstract: A snap latch, particularly for bags, ladies handbags, or other traveling articles, characterized in that it comprises a base member (1) designed to be fixed on one of the portions (P1) to be closed of the bag and having pivoted thereto in book-like fashion a body member (3) which can be oscillated through 180.degree.

Abstract: Lock for bags or the like, comprising a first part (7, 10) affixed to the bag (F) and a second part (1) which is associated with a closure flap (P) to be secured to the bag (F) by means of the lock. The second part is in the form of a slot (1) close to the edge of the closure flap (P), and the first part comprises a supporting platelet (7) attached to the bag (F) and carrying a rotatable locking barrel (13) which projects from the front side of the supporting platelet (7) and is formed with at least one lateral projection (14, 144) at its free end (113). To the end (107) of the supporting platelet (7), which is turned toward the closure flap (P), is hinged a latch wing (10) formed with a circular opening (11) of a diameter which corresponds to the diameter of the free end (113) of the locking barrel (13), which opening (11) has one or more recesses (12, 12' ) mating with the lateral projections (14, 14') in the locking barrel.

Abstract: Hinge particularly adapted for wallets, purses, paper-holders, or the like, consisting of two hinge members (1, 2) which are made of leather or similar flexible material, and which along one edge thereof are each provided with a row of comb-like, spaced apart co-axial tubular segments (3, 3'), the tubular segments (3) in one hinge member (1) being fitted between the tubular segments (3') in the other hinge member (2). A hinge pin (4) passed through the tubular segments (3, 3') in the two hinge members (1, 2) is in the form of a cylindrical helical spring (4) which is held in place by holding pins (5, 5') fitted in the ends of the helical spring (4) and provided with enlarged outward heads (205).
