A retractable handle. It has a first arm comprising a first end and a second end and a second arm comprising a first end and a second end; a gripping segment that interconnects the first arm at the first end of the first arm and the second arm at the first end of the second arm, wherein the first arm is attached to the gripping segment such that the first arm can rotate about the attachment point of the first arm to the gripping segment, and wherein the second arm is attached to the gripping segment such that the second arm can rotate about the attachment point of the second arm to the gripping segment; and an attachment for securing the handle to a luggage body.

In an example, a handle may include a grip to attach to a device, an attachment post disposed on a first end of the grip, a slot interface disposed on a second end of the grip, and a supplemental interface disposed in between the attachment post and the slot interface. The attachment post, the slot interface, and the supplemental interface may extend radially out from the grip and may attach the grip to the device.

A pet accessory is disclosed and includes a strap, a bag and an attachment means that attaches the strap to the bag. The strap has sufficient length to be used as a leash and has a releasable catch at a first end for attaching the strap to a pet. The bag defines an interior volume for containing objects. The attachment means attaches the bag to the strap such that the pet accessory is adaptable to form a carry bag whereby the strap forms a handle or shoulder strap for carrying the bag and to form a pet leash with the bag attached and with the strap forming a hand loop in a portion of the strap opposite to the first end for restraining a pet.

A strap attachment device includes a strap connector configured to attach to a strap and a connecting plate secured on the surface of an article such as a bag or suitcase. The strap connector includes a connector post configured to removably engage and be secured by a locking member located beneath the connecting plate. The locking member is biased into a closed position by a mechanical biasing means, such as a spring. The connector post may include a flanged end configured to partially disengage the locking member causing the flanged end to mate with and be secured by the locking member responsive to being inserted into the connecting plate. A pull tab is further disposed on a pull track within the connecting plate. A user can disengage the connector post from the locking member by moving the pull tab along the pull track.
