ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a novel handle and panel assembly in a zipper closed portfolio and in particular to an improved internally cushioned handle construction in which the inner seam of the handle is formed by sewing the front and back handle sections together and folding whereby the inner side of the handle presents a stitching line located between inner folded plies which constitute the front and back sides of the handle, respectively, and wherein the cushioning material is provided on the outer side of the handle to provide a soft reinforcement of this soft outer side thereby improving the feel of the handle as it is grasped by the fingers of the hand in carrying the portfolio. The handle is of the type which can be retracted, or moved up and down within the panel. The zipper of the portfolio constitutes the sole entry into a security compartment within the panels on the right and left sides of the portfolio. The outer seam of the handle consists of a line of stitching as in the conventional handle construction extending in a continuous line from the bottom to the top and across the top and down the other side. In contrast to conventional handles which do not have plastic foam reinforcement on the underside of the handle where the fingers engage this portion, the present handles presents an outwardly curved cross section.
