The present invention provides a portable storage unit, comprising an external component, wherein the external component comprises an opening to an internal compartment, and an internal component, wherein the internal component and comprises an opening to an internal compartment, wherein the internal component is sized to fit within the internal compartment of the external component, wherein the internal component is removably attachable to the internal compartment of the external component.

Described herein is a modular luggage system (the MLS) that includes a modular case system that includes a plurality of interchangeable modular cases having a plurality of interchangeable compartments; a modular transport system that includes a plurality of interchangeable modular transport devices; a first chassis that includes a first chassis inner surface configured to releasably and interchangeably retain an interchangeable modular case selected from the modular case system; and a first chassis frame having attachment regions configured to releasably and interchangeably couple with an interchangeable modular transport device selected from the modular transport system. Also described are a coupling device for a MILS with multiple chassis, and corresponding methods for assembling the above MILS. A kit of parts for assembling the MLS is also described.

A portable storage device having a main storage compartment and an expandable storage compartment. The main storage compartment may have a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a bottom wall, with each of said walls being of a cloth like material. The main storage compartment may have a removably coupled top coupled to the main storage compartment through a fastener. The expandable storage compartment may have a front folding section, a first side folding section, a second side folding section, and a bottom folding section.

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.

A configurable bag is provided. The configurable bag has plurality of various interconnecting storage compartments (or modules). The interconnecting storage compartments may be selectively used to store various objects such as, for example, shoes, clean clothes, dirty clothes, toiletries, etc. The interconnecting storage compartments may be selectively secured vertically to each other so as to be able to be easily fit within, for example, a standard vertical gym locker. Retractable hooks may be secured to the sides of the interconnecting storage compartments so as to allow the assembled device to hang vertically from a hanger poll. The storage compartments may allow for both front and top access into the interior of the device.

Tool storage devices. A tool storage device may include a handle assembly including a support arm connected between a body and a handle portion and having a substantially rectangular cross section oriented with first walls extending transverse to the axis having a greater width than second walls extending parallel to the axis. A width of the handle portion may be at least about 50% of a width of the body. The body may include a frame assembly formed of a rigid material, a wall formed of a flexible material and at least partially defining the storage compartment with an open top, and a cover formed of a rigid material connected to the frame assembly to selectively close the open top. A wheel well portion receives each wheel and may cover the width of the wheel and a portion of the circumference of the wheel. A radial clearance between the wheel and a lower end of the wheel well may be no more than about 0.5 inches.

There is a bag system, comprising: a main bag, including a front side, wherein: a slit is disposed along the front side; and a buckle is coupled to an interior surface of the front side; and a supplemental bag, removably coupled to the main bag, and including a connector, wherein: the connector is disposed along a back side of the supplemental bag; and the connector is disposed through the slit and removably coupled to the buckle, the connector and the buckle thereby comprising a latch assembly.

In various embodiments, a carrying bag includes a carrying bag body formed by a security panel assembly comprising a cut-resistant fabric or mesh, with a strap channel having at least two spaced-apart reinforced channel openings; and a carrying strap comprising: first and second wire cables; a first flexible material having a first lateral region folded around the first wire cable to enclose the first wire cable and a second lateral region folded around the second wire cable to enclose the second wire cable; and a second flexible material arranged on or over a central region of the first flexible material. Representative embodiments may include a water-resistant pocket coupled to a protected seam and extending to an exterior of the carrying bag body; and a fastener to close the water-resistant pocket external to the carrying bag body.

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.

A container system includes several carry items or containers for carrying items. The carry items or containers each have a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The carry items or containers include magnetic coupling elements on at least one side to magnetically couple to another one of the carry items or containers. The magnetic coupling elements can be arranged so that a specific orientation of the carry items or containers can be enforced by there not being a magnetic attraction when the items are not properly oriented and aligned.
