Abstract: A compression expansion device for an article of luggage and luggage comprising same is disclosed. In one particular practice: the device comprises a base section disposed in sliding relation with an expansion body engaged with each other by coil springs. A flexible portion on either the base section or expansion body comprises a ridge which rests on a complimentary ledge on the other of the base section or expansion body to assume a compressed configuration. A glide switch comprising one or more push projections contacts the flexible portion to displace the ridge off the ledge causing the base and expansion body to move away from each other and assume an expanded configuration.

Abstract: A compression-expansion device for an article of luggage and luggage comprising same is disclosed. In one embodiment, the device comprises a base comprising axially-disposed, spaced-apart, parallel passageways; a latch pivotably disposed on the base between the passageways and having a tongue projection; an expansion body comprising conduit members slidably mated to the passageways, bias members located within the passageways and conduit members which urge the expansion body and base away from each other; an opening in the expansion body configured to receive the tongue in a first compressed position; and a button engaged with the opening and moveable to contact the tongue and displace it from the first position to a second position whereby the expansion body and the base assume an expanded configuration as urged by the bias members.

Abstract: A universal case for an electronic tablet device is disclosed comprising a rectangular sectioning panel having a front surface and an unobstructed center portion, the sectioning panel divided into four quadrants by projections at intervals along the center lines of the sectioning panel, and a tablet holding assembly comprising four separate quadrant pieces having tablet gripping members, the pieces configured to fit within the sectioning panel quadrants where quadrant pieces diagonally opposite each other are joined by elastic members which permit the quadrant pieces to elastically separate to accommodate a particular tablet device while urging the pieces toward the center thereby providing a secure fit for the device.
