Luggage articles and combinations thereof
A light-weight, easily portable luggage combination is described. The combination comprises a garment bag and a general purpose bag and optionally a utility bag, wherein the garment bag and general purpose bag may be reversibly secured together or used separately if desired. The combination provides for a first interior space in the garment bag so that hanging clothes can be stored in the garment bag and a second interior space in the general purpose bag so that other items (for example, clothing, shoes, accessories, and toiletries) can be stored separately from the hanging clothes.
Storage container with adjustable, convertible strap
A reconfigurable waterproof bag is defined by a plurality of material surfaces extending in three dimensions, a strap for carrying the bag, and one or plurality of strap guide(s) into which the strap is disposed and through which the strap may be moved, the strap guide extending within or without the bag from any one of the plurality of surfaces to any other one of the plurality of material surfaces in three dimensional space without limitation to define a geometry of a strap path and coupling of the strap to the bag so that the bag is reconfigurable in a plurality of different carrying modes.
Backpack with laptop sleeve convertible to laptop sleeve with stored backpack portion
A backpack includes a backpack portion defining an interior compartment and a sleeve. The sleeve defines an interior cavity configured to receive a laptop therein and a storage compartment configured to receive the backpack portion therein. The sleeve is coupled to an inner surface of the backpack portion. The backpack includes a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein in the first configuration the sleeve is disposed within the interior compartment of the backpack portion, and in the second configuration the backpack portion is disposed within the storage compartment of the sleeve.
Reconfigurable storage device
A binder device including a body having a first cover and a second cover directly or indirectly pivotally coupled together and at least partially defining an inner compartment therebetween. The body further includes a binding mechanism positioned in the inner compartment, a first body securing device coupled to the body, and a second body securing device coupled to the body. The binder device includes a strap including first and second strap segments. The strap is movable between a first configuration wherein the first and second strap segments are releasably coupled together to form a continuous strap that is wearable over a shoulder of a user, and a second configuration wherein the first strap segment is releasably coupled the first body securing device and the second strap segment is releasably coupled to the second body securing device such that the first and second strap segments each at least partially defines a loop. Each loop is shaped and configured to receive an arm of a user therethrough such that the binder device is wearable on a back of the user in the manner of a backpack. Each strap segment is configured to be releasably coupled to only one of the first or second body securing devices.
Luggage with transport platform
A luggage transport system includes a first piece of luggage and a transport platform coupled to the first piece of luggage and adapted for supporting at least one additional piece of luggage when in a working position, wherein the transport platform has a first part and a second part pivotably connected to the first part, wherein the second part is substantially perpendicular to the first part when the transport platform is in the working position.
Adaptable luggage case
An adaptable luggage case includes a complete plurality of detachably connected components, including a first reduction group of components and a first reduced plurality of components that includes a second reduction group of components and second reduced plurality of components; such that the first reduced plurality of components assembles into a first reduced size luggage case, which is smaller than the adaptable luggage case; such that the second reduced plurality of components assembles into a second reduced size luggage case, which is smaller than the first reduced size luggage case.
Shape shifting hamper and bag
A container takes on the form of a laundry hamper or basket while static or stationary. Upon bringing front and back panels of the container into closer proximity for transport, such as by drawing together their respective handles, or drawing one of the handles towards the other, the container changes configuration, or shape, to that of a tote bag. Upon releasing at least one of the front and back panels of the container from being drawn towards the other, such as by releasing at least one of their respective handles, the container automatically reverts back to the form of a laundry hamper or basket. The use of substantially rigid front and back panels, coupled with side panels that have resilient upper regions, permit the side panels to take on a spout-like configuration when the container is in its tote bag configuration, and to return to a planar configuration when the container is in its laundry hamper or basket configuration.
Bag
An example bag may include an outer shell comprising a front panel, a rear panel, a top sidewall, a bottom sidewall, a first sidewall, a second sidewall forming, and a closure configured to move from an open position to a closed position. The bag may also include a pair of adjustable straps. The adjustable straps can be configured to move from a first backpack carry position to a second hand carry position by releasing the adjustable straps from the outer shell of the bag from the first carry position and securing the adjustable straps to the second carry position.
Inter-Convertible Wearable Storage Devices
Wearable storage devices that are interconvertible from a first storage device configuration to a second storage device configuration via an included front pouch are described, and wherein at least one of the storage devices are wearable, such as a waist pack that is interconvertible to a backpack.
SUITCASE SYSTEM
A system includes a docking station and a suitcase. The docking station is installable in a cargo area of a vehicle and electrically connectable to a power source of the vehicle. The suitcase includes a port engageable with the docking station, a battery electrically connected to the port, an electric motor electrically connected to the battery, and a wheel connected to the electric motor.
