Abstract
The portable purse strap hook is slidably and removably mounted on a purse strap. The portable purse strap hook includes a flexible sheet having at least one releasable fastener attached thereto for releasably fastening laterally opposed ends thereof to form a sleeve slidably disposed on the purse strap. A hook is pivotally secured to the inner surface of the flexible sheet. The hook is pivotal between a stored position within the sleeve and a position extending from the sleeve so that the hook may be used to hang the purse from a stationary support.
Claims2
In combination, a bag having a strap and a portable bag strap hook adapted to be secured about the strap, comprising:
- a bag having a strap;
- a flexible, elongated sheet having opposed inner and outer surfaces, laterally opposed ends, and longitudinally opposed ends, the sheet being foldable around the strap of the bag, the laterally opposed ends of the sheet being secured to each other at the longitudinally ends to form a sleeve around the bag strap, wherein the sleeve is slidable on the bag strap;
- a plurality of mating releasable snap fasteners disposed on the lateral ends of the sheet adjacent the longitudinal ends, wherein each of the releasable fasteners comprises a male portion attached to one of the laterally opposed ends of the flexible sheet and a mating female portion attached to the other one of the laterally opposed ends of the flexible sheet, whereby the sleeve is removably disposed on the bag strap;
- and
- a hook having a stem and an arcuately curved portion extending from the stem, wherein the stem of the hook has an eyelet defined therein, the eyelet being pivotally disposed directly on one of the snag fasteners, the arcuately curved portion of the hook being pivotal between the mating snap fasteners at the opposing longitudinal ends of the sleeve, the hook being pivotal between an open position in which the arcuately curved portion is adapted for hooking onto a support to suspend the bag, and a closed position in which the hook is stored entirely within the sleeve.
A portable bag strap hook adapted to be secured about the strap of a bag, consisting of:
- a flexible, elongated sheet having opposed inner and outer surfaces, laterally opposed ends, and longitudinally opposed ends, the sheet being adaptable to folding around the strap of the bag, the laterally opposed ends of the sheet being secured to each other at the longitudinally ends to form a sleeve around the bag strap, wherein the sleeve is slidable on the bag strap;
- a plurality of mating releasable snap fasteners disposed on the lateral ends of the sheet adjacent the longitudinal ends, wherein each of the releasable fasteners comprises a male portion attached to one of the laterally opposed ends of the flexible sheet and a mating female portion attached to the other one of the laterally opposed ends of the flexible sheet, whereby the sleeve is removably disposed on the bag strap;
- a hook having a stern and an arcuately curved portion extending from the stem, wherein the stem of the hook has an eyelet defined therein, the eyelet being pivotally disposed directly on one of the snap fasteners, the arcuately curved portion of the hook being pivotal between the mating snap fasteners at the opposing longitudinal ends of the sleeve, the hook being pivotal between an open position in which the arcuately curved portion is adapted for hooking onto a support to suspend the bag, and a closed position in which the hook is stored entirely within the sleeve.
