A shoe-carrying bag with front and back shoe holding sections pivotally attached to a base. The front and back sections each have multiple shoe-carrying compartments that display the shoes behind see-through covers such as mesh fabric. A center section extends vertically from the base between the front and back sections. It has a compartment sized for a laptop computer. The front and back sections pivot apart from the center section into a horizontally opposed open position while the center section remains vertical. This displays all of the shoes in the front and back sections simultaneously while also providing unobstructed access to the center section. The base may have a further zippered compartment. Partitions between the shoe carrying compartments may be rigid or semi-rigid and non-releasable.

Personal protective devices have a carrying bag, such as a purse, and a separate bullet resistant vest or penetration resistant (to stab wounds) vest comprises at least one neck sling and at least one torso strap. The bullet/penetration resistant vest is dimensioned to removably fit within the carrying bag. The carrying bags are configured to provide a ready state wherein a bullet resistant shield and neck sling are within the carrying bag while at least a connector attached to the end of a deployable torso strap(s) is outside of the carrying bag. The carrying bag has at least one slot designed to allow the torso strap(s) to be pre-fed from the interior of the carrying bag to a position exterior of the carrying bag. In this ready state, the majority of the torso strap is maintained within the interior of the carrying bag. The neck sling and torso straps are deployable to secure the vest to a wearer's torso in the deployed position.

An information handling system carrying soft case includes fabric forming an interior, such as within a backpack or briefcase form factor, and a sleeve disposed in the interior and sized to contain a portable information handling system housing. The sleeve has a rectangular cover of sufficient area to hold a portable information handling system and coupled to the fabric interior on three sides with an open mesh material at an interior of the sleeve and a corrugated foam at an exterior of the sleeve. The open mesh material has plural evenly spaced openings that pass air in the event of thermal heating in the sleeve and that pass particles out of the sleeve and away from the information handling system.

A thrust converting mechanism has a shaft provided with a pair of helical mated portions, formed in mutually opposing directions; a pair of linear motion members having mating portions for engaging, respectively, the pair of mated portions; a case for supporting the pair of linear motion members so as to enable movement along the shaft, and for bearing the shaft rotatably; a rocking member that is borne on one of the linear motion members of the pair, and for engaging with the other linear motion member of the pair, and for rocking through relative motion of the shaft in respect to the case; and a moving member, supported on the case, that engages with the rocking member to move, through rocking of the rocking member, in a direction that crosses the shaft.

Mechanism for opening/closing an opening leaf with respect to a frame. The mechanism is configured to cause, upon opening, a lifting of the opening leaf from a closure plane to an opening plane parallel to the closure plane, followed by a pivoting of the opening leaf about a pivot axis orthogonal to the translational movement of the opening leaf, and vice versa upon closing. The mechanism comprises: a fixed frame; a movable frame mounted translationally on the fixed frame; a hinge part mounted in a pivoting manner on the movable frame and coupled to a mechanism for attachment to the opening leaf; an actuator comprising an output member which can be actuated in a direction orthogonal to the pivot axis of the opening leaf; and a transmission that comprises a transmission link coupled in a pivoting manner to the output member, and to the hinge part.

A piece of luggage includes a holding system including at least one strap intended to hold an object in a storage position inside the piece of luggage by pressing the object against a wall of the piece of luggage called the support wall. The holding system includes: at least one rail carried by the support wall, the strap extending to cover the rail in the absence of stresses; and at least one tightening member slidably mounted on the rail at least partially covering the strap.
