ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a novel covered zipper assembly for the top of a portfolio with two heavy duty magnetic catches, one at each end thereof and being secured between the portfolio panels at the top to hide the zipper from view. A combination lock cooperating with a hasp protrudes from one end to be inserted into a catch portion at the side of the portfolio whereby the pull tab of the zipper can be grasped to slide open the top of the portfolio. Lock means, preferably combination lock means, are provided at the hasp. The covering is preferably constructed of high grade leather which is fastened by sewing to the other side panels of the portfolio at the top inner edges thereof. Easy access to the top of the portfolio for opening is not readily suggested by observing from the top because the cover assembly hides the zipper from view. In a preferred embodiment the inner walls of the outer side panels are lined with high grade pigskin having a suede texture and the other walls of the side panels which consist of high grade tanned cowhide are laminated at the edges to the inner walls and are provided with an inner cushioning layer of synthetic flexible foam, such as polyurethane foam which plumps the outer panels to enhance the softness of these panels.
