A piece of luggage (100, 298) may include front, rear, top, bottom, right, and left sides or faces (102, 104, 106, 108, 110, 112) that define an enclosed space. The enclosed space may be divided into one or more compartments. The luggage piece may further include at least one zipper (124) to access the enclosed space. The at least one zipper may include a zipper track (132), at least one zipper slider (134), and at least one zipper tab (136). The luggage piece may further include a frame (138, 300) that generally defines the shape of the luggage piece. The frame may include upper and lower bodies (140, 142, 144, 146, 302, 304) that are joined together by elongated structural members (148, 150, 306), such as pultrusions or closed wire loops. The upper bodies may substantially define the top side of the luggage piece, and the lower bodies may substantially define the bottom side of the luggage piece. The upper and lower bodies may be molded, hard bodies.

The invention relates to a portable cooler having a multilayer structure, provided with a lid which enables it to be used in an upside-down position. Both the outer body and the lid have an outer layer as a polypropylene casing, an EPS-based intermediate layer and a polypropylene-based inner layer, having holes on the smaller inner faces thereof coinciding with each other for the passage of a rivet and an O-ring for fastening the carrying handle.

A carrying bag with a water resistant Velcro outer case and an activated carbon inner liner provides an odor proof capability. The Velcro outer surface provides for user selected placement of one or more removable patch attachments. The invention described here reduces the need to purchase alternative backpacks due to endless user configuration of possible looks. The carry bag may include one or more carry handles and one or more shoulder straps.

An apparatus for carrying and/or storing equestrian sports gear having multiple pockets for receiving otherwise loose items, has an opening for facilitating accessibility, having a bottom of the apparatus (or bottom of bag, and is the portion of the apparatus that touches ground when the inner or outer compartment is being accessed or the portion of the apparatus that has surface/ground contact when the apparatus is placed down) which is easily wiped down, washed, and/or cleaned of unwanted foreign material.

A suitcase and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. An upper case shell and a lower case shell are obtained, and a flexible material is fixedly connected to the upper case shell and the lower case shell. When the suitcase is assembled, elastic parts are compressed to install two ends of rods on installation parts of the upper case shell and the lower case shell, and a resilience force from the elastic parts is applied to the rods to drive the upper case shell and the lower case shell to be away from each other, and the flexible material connected to the upper case shell and the lower case shell is driven by the upper case shell and the lower case shell to be tensioned.
