To all whom t may concern? Y Be it known that I, GEORGE L. Pinnen, a*

citizenV of the United States, and reside-nt of Brooklyn, inthe county of Kings and State o`f New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Caddy Bags, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention has to do With caddy bags, and more particularly with a pocket therein Which may be made to receive golf balls, golf shoes, or other articles.

The principal object of my invention is the provision of a pocket on the bag so llos cated and constructed that When articles'are placed therein, the same is not evident from the exterior appearance of the bag.

Another and important object of my invention is the provision of means as above which may be readily incorporated in a caddy bag Without material expense, or manufacturing difficulties, and may include means for covering the pockets, Which may be done in various manners.

I have illustrated` in the drawings, several forms which are to be taken as illustrative of divers Ways of carrying out my invention.

In these drawings Figure l is a front view of the complete bag. y

Fig. 2 is a vertical section through a. portion of the bag.

Fig. 3 is a. fragmentary front view of a modified bag.

Fig. a is a vertical section through a. portion of the bag of Fig. 8.

Fig. 5 is a. similar view with the flaps open. l

Fig. 6 is a transverse section of a portion of the bag on line 6 6 of Fig. 4.

Fig. l is a detail, showing a modified ar-v rangement of flaps'.

The caddy bag of leather, or other suitable material, is shown at 1, which may be of any desired construction, and is provided With an aperture 2 of a shape which will be best determined by `circumstances. In one instance it may be found best to form the pocket as by means of applying a pocket linin within the hav' l served to that part of the bag adjacent the ,aperture 2, so that' the entire pocket fallsinside the.' bag.: fr

flapi'sewed, orl otherwise secured to the bag.

1 above 'the'aperturef'2,. may be advantage#- ously used and pro'vid-'edfwith an cnidinaryT fastening mechanism such as a buckle 5. It will thus be seen' thiatfwhen golf balls or other articles are placed Withinthe pocket, they are held entirely on the inside of the bag and there is no vdisliguring bulge, or other irregular con-'tour given to 'the outsideof the bag, which presents a neat appear ance.

Another form of pocket Which I havel found highly satisfactory, and which is of a. slightly different type, is illustrated in Fig. In this figure the caddy bag lis provided With an interior lining 6 of a ma-y te-rial such as heavy cloth, canvas, leather,` or the like. aan aperture 7 of somewhat larger area than lin the former example, provides access to the pocket. In forming the pocket I provide lines of stitching passing through the Wall ofthe` bag l and the lining 6, and in this particular instance, the stitching takes the form of a rectangle, the short Wall of which occupies a position just above the opening 7 and ex-Y tends to near the bottom of the bag. This construction provides a much larger pocket than is the case in the other example shown, and this pocket may be used for larger .ar-y ticles, such as golfing shoes, refreshments, or other packages Which the golfer mayr desire to carry with him. It .vill be perfectly apparent that articles in this pocket Will he separate from the 4sticks carried in the bag.

This type of pocket is also highly desirable because it requires no vadditional material Within the bag, as the pocket proper consists, onone side of the bag lining, and on the other side, of the bag itself.

In order to properly protect such larger articles as might be spoiled by dampness and nain, I provide a fiap 8 which is provided Wit-li a linge-r pull-9. Side flaps l() and f ll, seWed-to the bag l, are designed to over-` lap each other, one of the flaps, l0, having a metallic loop IQsecured thereto adapted l to penetrate an aperture 1B in the flap ll. A strap l/l secured above the flaps .l0 and il may now be made to pass between the 11 and themetellic loop 12, and be securely fastened, as by buckle 15. Additional `means to protect the articles Within the pocket from theft, is shown'to consist of the metallic rings 16 at the end of the strap 111 and a. metallic ring v17 on the end of the stnaip holding buckle 15. Through these rings may be passed e padlock 18, which thereby prevents unauthorized access to the pocket.` A different larrangement,or flaps may be utilized, as for instance, it may' vbev desirable to iirst securetogether flaps 10' and v 11, and Athen overlay ythese parts with the flap 8, which, in th-is case, Wouldbe prof' vided with an aperture 19 adapted to receive the'metal 101019,12 and the strap 14:, as

before. .Thus articles Within the pocket would be yeiiectively protected from rein' said member, closed by a izip cut Jfrom and integral With'said member, the line of cutting defining said flap the uncut portion-y l constituting a, hinge, and a backing'within the' cylindrical member attached to said memberend aroundsaid opening, whereby lam inne-rpocket is formed.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature. I
