The disclosure includes a modular carrying system comprising a day bag, a luggage bag, and a main coupling system. In some embodiments, the main coupling system includes a first portion coupled to the day bag and a second portion coupled to the luggage bag. The main coupling system may be arranged and configured to detachably couple the day bag and the luggage bag together such that the front side of the day bag faces the back side of the luggage bag.

A system of interconnecting luggage includes first and second luggage items. The first luggage item has a handle about an upper end and rolling elements about a base, and is tiltable about a rotational axis of the rolling elements by the handle. The second luggage item also has rolling elements about a base. Each of the first and second luggage items have integral mutual engagement and disengagement elements configured to provide, when the first and second luggage items are mutually engaged, a substantially rigid mechanical connection that maintains the first and second luggage items in relative spatial arrangement such that when the system is in a stable arrangement, the rolling elements of the first and second luggage items contact an underlying planar substrate, and the first luggage item is maintained at a tilt angle relative to the underlying planar substrate.

A storage container with various aspects is described herein. The storage container may have cleats or cleat receptacles to interact with other storage containers and/or accessories. The storage container may also include rails for attachment of various accessories. Some versions of the storage container may further include telescopic uprights connected to a handle. Many of the versions of the storage containers may further include wheels for transporting the storage containers and their contents.

A case for an optical instrument is provided. The case has a body with a bottom and two pairs of oppositely disposed side walls connected to the body forming a cavity. The case also includes a lid having a top cover and two pairs of oppositely disposed side portions, each of which corresponds with and overlaps a corresponding side wall of the body when the lid is in a closed position. A first pair of the two pairs of side walls each includes an elastic chord which connects the given side wall to the corresponding side portion of the lid.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a reconfigurable bag which can form a variety of bags, handbags and purses. With all of the demands of busy lives, women today need to have a variety of bags and purses. Women need a clutch for evening use, a large purse for taking to work, a smaller purse for daytime outings, and a briefcase or computer bag. A reconfigurable bag as disclosed herein would help to eliminate these issues by providing a bag that can be converted to a variety of bags and purses.

Disclosed is a configurable bag having a main bag compartment defined by a foldable bag body configurable between at least a first configuration and a second configuration via a folding of the bag body, the main bag compartment being accessible via a closable opening disposed in the foldable bag body when in the first configuration. The configurable bag further includes a first securing means and a second securing means affixed to the bag body, wherein the first and second securing means are disposed out of position for connection when the bag body is in the first configuration. The first and second securing means are positioned for connection via folding the bag body into the second configuration. The first and second securing means are configured to secure the bag body in the second configuration when the first securing means is secured to the second securing means.

A connector assembly for releasably connecting a first container to a second container, using male connector(s) and corresponding female connector(s) attached to each container, each female connector having a recess for receiving a portion of a male connector. The connector assembly has at least one pawl pivotable between a retracted position and extended position, a pawl retractor, and pawl extender(s) biasing the pawl(s) toward the extended position. The male connector(s) and female connector(s) are releasably locked together by moving the pawl retractor to a position reducing a biasing force of the pawl retractor on the pawl(s) and thereby allowing a biasing force of the pawl extender(s) to pivot the pawl(s) to the extended position against an engaging surface and releasably lock the male connector(s) to the female connector(s). The male connector(s) and female connector(s) are unlocked by moving the pawl retractor to pivot the pawl(s) away from the engaging surface.

A changeable bag includes a first bag body having a first accommodating portion; a second bag body having a second accommodating portion accommodating the first bag body; and a coupling portion that detachably couples the first bag body accommodated in the second bag body to the second bag body, wherein the coupling portion includes a bottom coupling portion that detachably couples a bottom of the first bag body and a bottom of the second bag body.

A convertible garment carry-on bag is a clothing article that most resembles an outer garment in nature, whose novel aspect is the ability to convert into a travel bag. In garment form, the article visibly bears large pockets in the front and back to store various articles. The garment also features side panels with zippers that allow a wearer to expand the garment. Handles integrated along the length of the back of the garment are retrieved from concealed pockets. When folded at approximate belt level, with handles released, the garment is now a carry-on bag.

A luggage assembly includes a first bag and a second bag, each bag having a rear side with a number of fasteners that engage the rear sides of the other bag to attach them together. The rear sides also have an open slot near the top end to receive a dual bag strap extending between the bags, such that the bags may be used as saddlebags. The bags may further include bag handles near the top end of the bags, and an assembly handle extending between the bag handles such that the luggage assembly may be conveniently carried as a single unit. The luggage assembly also includes an individual bag strap that may attach to the fasteners on the rear sides such that the bags may be used and carried individually.
