Abstract: The luggage scale strap attaches to a luggage item as a shoulder strap. The luggage scale strap weighs the luggage item, detects changes in the weight of the luggage item, and alerts an appropriate authority when a weight change has been detected by the luggage scale strap in the luggage item. The presumption of the disclosure at bar is that a weight change in the luggage item indicates to the appropriated authority that something has been inappropriately added to or removed from the luggage item. The luggage scale strap comprises a shoulder strap, a control circuit, a personal data device, and the luggage item. The shoulder strap contains the control circuit. The shoulder strap attaches to the luggage item. The control circuit monitors the weight of the luggage item. The control circuit notifies the appropriate authority about weight changes in the luggage item through the personal data device.

Abstract: A container [10] is disclosed having a universal bracket system [300] that allows attachment of the container [10] to a plurality of upstanding outdoor supports including posts, angle iron, and signs supported in cylindrical frameworks. In the preferred embodiment, the container [10] has a box [100] with a lid [200] pivotally attached thereto. The box [100] has a bracket system [300] comprised of an upper bracket [310], a central bracket [320] and a lower bracket [340] which have complementary geometric relationships that facilitate attachment to the multiple structures.
