  • Luggage with passageway for receiving a supporting handle
    Patent number: 5685401
    Abstract: A piece of luggage has a first body portion joined to a second body portion along two spaced lines of stitching so as to form a passageway between the lines of stitching and between the facing sidewalls of the first and second body portions. This passageway has open ends such that the passageway may be registered with a handle of a wheeled suitcase and the piece of luggage slipped onto the handle in order to support the piece of luggage on the handle. The second body portion has a compartment and the piece of luggage may be oriented such that the compartment faces a user after the piece of luggage has been slipped onto a handle in order to provide a relatively secure and readily accessible pocket.
