The invention serves to cut the cost of traveling with additional guitars on commercial aircraft in half by guitar style-specific designed soft outer carrying cases which allow the traveler to combine two hard shell guitar traveling cases inside of one single outside soft cover case. Typically, this qualifies the two guitars as One piece of luggage, if under 50 lbs., on most domestic and international airlines and therefore the traveler is only charged a fee for one additional piece of luggage.

There are no solutions which will combine two acoustic guitars into a one piece baggage item with regards to airline baggage charges. Nor is there any competition which allows the combination of two separate electric guitar cases to be joined together resulting in fewer airline charges for additional luggage.

This invention also makes it easier to maneuver two guitars around at once.

There is configuration zipper 440 which allows the traveler to only expand the case to a single guitar case size for the occasions when only one guitar is being transported.

Retractable wheels within a suitcase that are configured to be positioned within the suitcase responsive to applying a downward force on the suitcase.

The present disclosure is about assemblies containing shiftable parts like three sided open-frames or independent bars with stub-axles. In some embodiments shiftable parts are designed to slide within encompassing tubes. In other embodiments shiftable parts are designed to be turnable by attaching them on pivots. These shiftable components are used for mounting general wheels or multi-wheel star assemblies on them. Such assemblies can be either attached to or built into movable objects like luggage or robots to facilitate their movement over stairs. When the wheels are positioned to keep the body of the movable object away from the edges of the stairs, the object can be moved upstairs and also downstairs without getting scratched. When the wheels are shifted to another position, the objects can be easily moved over flat surfaces. One of these positions will be for storing the object in lesser space.

A mechanical system for folding and unfolding suitcase wheels, designed to enhance durability and functionality. The system integrates a telescopic handle, a transmission mechanism, and pivoting wheel platforms to convert the vertical movement of the handle into a rotational motion that deploys or retracts the wheels. A spring mechanism ensures automatic retraction when the handle is lowered. The system is housed within a lower compartment of the suitcase, which includes an open floor allowing the wheels to extend outward when deployed and to remain concealed when retracted. This modular design is adaptable to various suitcase configurations, providing a compact, durable, and user-friendly solution for improving luggage maneuverability. The invention allows for compatibility with different transmission methods ensuring versatility and customization for different suitcase models.

A transport device, in particular for transporting luggage, includes a support structure, a coupling element or a handle and a rolling body in addition to a transport container for receiving objects, in particular luggage. The rolling body has a rotational symmetry and is configured such that it tapers in diameter towards the ends along the axis of symmetry. Because of the arrangement and design of the transport container, the transport device is self-stabilizing in operative use.

A bag comprising a body; a shell comprising a central recessed region and a plurality of recessed regions; a leg mechanism comprising a first leg pivotably coupled to a first portion of the shell, a second leg pivotably coupled to a second portion of the shell, and a cross member extending between the first leg and the second leg; a handle mechanism comprising a first handle portion with a first end pivotably coupled to a third portion of the shell and a second handle portion pivotably coupled to a second end of the first handle portion, wherein the second handle portion comprises a first engagement feature that is pivotable relative to the first handle portion; and a linking member connecting the first handle portion to the cross member, wherein the linking member comprises a second engagement feature configured to engage the first engagement feature.

The present disclosure provides a bag comprising an elongated body configured to receive golf equipment; a protective cover configured to extend along a back side of the elongated body and around a bottom edge of the elongated body towards a front side of the elongated body, the protective cover comprising a recessed portion formed along a back side of the protective cover; one or more wheels integrated with the protective cover; and a leg assembly pivotably coupled to the protective cover. The leg assembly may comprise (i) a leg member, (ii) an additional wheel disposed on a distal end of the leg member, and (iii) a foot pedal provided along the leg member. The foot pedal may be configured to release the leg member so that the leg member can pivot towards a recessed portion of the protective cover.

A piece of luggage with a handle-to-stand conversion feature is an apparatus that can be used to comfortably support a computing device, such as a laptop, without requiring the use of external accessories. The apparatus includes a luggage body and a pull handle. The luggage body corresponds to the structure of the apparatus that securely retains and protects the user's personal belongings while traveling. The luggage body is also designed to accommodate and support the different configurations of the pull handle. The pull handle is designed to be manually arranged into different configurations by the user while travelling to provide different functionalities. In a handle configuration, the pull handle facilitates the transportation of the luggage body along with the stored personal belongings. In a platform configuration, the pull handle supports a computing device above the luggage body so that the user can comfortably use the computing device anywhere while traveling.

A luggage apparatus comprising a rigid case body having retractable wheels concealable within recessed compartments in the base is disclosed. The apparatus includes a control (i.e., actuation) interface disposed on the exterior of the case body, operable in a first position to retract the wheels into the compartments and in a second position to deploy or extend the wheels for rolling. Each wheel is coupled to either a spring-loaded mechanism or an electric motor system to enable vertical movement between the retracted and extended positions. The spring mechanism comprises a helical compression spring aligned around a vertical wheel shaft, while the motorized embodiment employs a mini electric motor coupled to a vertical actuator. The control (i.e., actuation) button is configured for dual-mode operation and is compatible with both mechanical and electrical systems.
