such as watches, rings, jewelries, etc., so as to enhance the
aesthetic appearance of the handbag.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Arts
[0004] Traditionally, a watch or an item of jewelry is held and

the jewelry box.
[0005] There are two types of the jewelry box. First, the jewelry
box comprises a box body and a cover pivotally connected with the
box body. In order to display the ornament inside the jewelry box,
the cover must pivotally open from the box body. However, such
jewelry box will waste lots of space storage especially when
displaying.
[0006] Another type of the jewelry box also comprises the box body
and the cover detachably attached to the box body. While the
ornament is displayed, the cover is separated from the box body. It
is inconvenient to place and is easy to lose the cover. Thus,
people always have conflict between packaging and displaying.
Ignoring the right packaging may depreciate the value of the
product. So, the jewelry box is important for the ornament since
the jewelry box can not only store and display the ornament but
also provide the best protection for the ornament.

removed from the handbag.
[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
watch box shaped handbag with display window, which is facilitated
to store, package, and carry the ornament with the handbag.
[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
watch box shaped handbag with display window, wherein the handbag
takes less storage space for displaying the ornament since the
handbag does not require to open its cover in order to show the
ornament. Thus, the handbag can prevent the ornament from getting
dusty as well.
[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a
watch box shaped handbag with display window, wherein the handbag
comprises a supporting frame for providing a full protection of the
ornament.

a carrying means 40.
[0024] The bag body 10 of the handbag comprises a pair of opposed
side walls 11, 12, a front wall 13, and rear wall 14 wherein the
front and rear walls 13, 14 are integrally connected between the
two side walls 11, 12 respectively to define a storage compartment
15 therein for receiving an ornament 2 therein.
[0025] According to the preferred embodiment, the bag body 10 has a
box shape which can be in rectangular shape or in trapezoid shape.
The two side walls 11, 12, and the front and rear walls 13, 14 are
preferable made of soft material such as leather or cotton that is
capable of unfolding and expanding a volume of the storage
compartment 15 wherein the rear wall 14 of the bag body 10 can be
reinforced by a rigid member such as cardboard for rigidly forming
the shape of the bag body 10. The bag body 10 further comprises a
base wall 16 affixed on bottom edges of the front wall 13, rear
wall 14, and two side walls 11, 12, wherein the base wall 16
comprises the rigid member such as cardboard (not shown) in order
to reinforce the shape of the bag body 10.
[0026] The bag cover 20, which is made of the same material of the
bag body 10, also has the corresponding box shape and has four
edges for fittedly covering on top of the storage compartment 15
formed by the front, rear, and side walls 11, 12, 13, 14. As shown
in FIG. 5, at least an edge portion of the bag cover 20 is
pivotally connected to the rear wall 14 of the bag body 10 by means
of a hinge in such a manner that the bag cover 20 is adapted for
pivotally folding up in order to open the bag body 10.
[0027] The bag cover 20 further comprises a display window 21
provided on a top surface 201 of the bag cover 20 in such a manner
that the ornament 2 received in the storage compartment 15 is
adapted for being seen from outside through the display window 20.
The display window 21 is preferably made of transparent material
such as plastic such that a user is able to see through the
interior of the bag body 10, which is the storage compartment 15,
from the display window 21. Since the material of the display
window 21 may not be the same material of the bag cover 20, the
display window 21 is preferably stitched on the bag cover 20 or
pressed on the bag cover 20 by means of heat treatment such that
the display window 21 is securely affixed on the bag cover 20 in
position.
[0028] The supporting frame 30 is adapted for rigidly supporting

carrying means 40 has two ends respectively connected to the two
side walls 11, 12 such that the user is able to carry the handbag
by holding the carrying means 40 thereof.
[0030] For achieving a better result, the two ends of the chain of
the carrying means 40 can be penetrated through the two side walls
11, 12 and affixed to the supporting frame 30 such the a weight of
the handbag including the ornament 2 can be evenly distributed to
the supporting frame 30, so as to prevent the two side walls 11, 12
of the bag body 10 from being worn out.
[0031] The handbag further comprises a holding means 50 fittedly
disposed in the storage compartment 15 for holding the ornament 2
in position wherein the holding means according to the preferred
embodiment is a soft stuffing for the ornament encircling thereon,
which can protect the ornament 2 and enhance the aesthetic
characters of the ornament 2. As shown in FIG. 5, for example, the
ornament 2 is a watch mounted on the soft stuffing 50 and is
received in the storage compartment 15 wherein when closing the bag
cover 20, the watch of the ornament 2 is adapted for being seen
from outside through the display window 21. So, the user does not
have to open up the handbag in order to illustrate the ornament
2.
[0032] The advantages of watch box shaped handbag with display
widow of the present invention include the following:
[0033] (1) Since the ornament 2 is displayed through the display
window 21 of the handbag, the user does not have to open the
handbag, so as to prevent the ornament 2 from accidentally being
removed from the handbag. Thus, the handbag can prevent the
ornament 2 from getting dusty as well
[0034] (2) The ornament 2 is well protected in the handbag by the
supporting frame 30 such that the ornament 2 is easy to be stored,
packaged, and carried with the handbag without damaging the
ornament 2.
[0035] (3) For displaying the ornament 2, the handbag does not
require lots of storage space since the handbag need not to be
opened its bag cover 20 unless when the user intentionally opens
the bag cover 20 for taking out the ornament 2.
