Abstract: A mobile communications device including a base section having a keypad, a cover section having a screen and a connector assembly for coupling the cover section to the base section. A hinge permits the cover section to pivot from a closed position overlying the base section to an open position inclined relative to the base section to expose the keypad and the screen. A pin and socket assembly permits the screen to pivot 180 degrees from a first position in which the screen can oppose the keypad when the cover section is in the closed position to a second position in which the screen can be exposed when the cover section is in the closed position. A guide and slot assembly permits the cover section to slide relative to the base section to expose a portion of the keypad.

Abstract: Disclosed herein in a garment bag which folds from a fully folded configuration to a tote configuration and an open configuration. The garment bag has wheels, a lifting mechanism, a linkage assembly, and an actuator. The lifting mechanism includes a shoulder strap. The shoulder strap can pull on the linkage assembly to fold the garment bag from the tote configuration to the fully folded configuration. The wheels facilitate transport of the garment bag when the garment bag is in the tote configuration. The garment bag automatically locks in the fully folded configuration to facilitate carrying of and storage of the garment bag. The actuator is engageable to automatically release the garment bag from the fully folded configuration to the tote configuration.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is carrying case for protecting items. The carrying case includes an enclosure assembly having various sections, an air valve, an air pump and an attachment mechanism. Each section foldably connects to an adjacent section so that the enclosure assembly can fold from an open configuration to a closed configuration. The attachment mechanism includes a strap for holding the carrying case in the closed configuration. The air valve attaches to at least one section to selectively regulate air pressure in the section.

Abstract: A luggage cart (10) is formed from two mirror image frame members (12) and (14), which are pivotally connected at (16) and (18). A soft shell fabric garment bag (20) is fastened to the frame members (12) and (14). Projections (24) extend into fold (26) of the garment bag (20) to support it in place on the frame members (12) and (14). A crossed flexible cable (42) is connected to the frame members (12) and (14) at (46) and (48) near the bottom of the frame members (12) and (14) by means of D-rings (49) and by means of tubes (51) near the top of the frame members (12) and (14) at front (50) and back (52) of the luggage cart (10). The cable 42 further is connected to a shoulder strap (56). In use of the luggage cart (10) and garment bag (20), the luggage cart (10) is opened by placing the luggage cart (10) on the ground and pressing down on the top of the garment bag (20) or on handles (40). The luggage cart can then be wheeled around by pulling on handle (58).

Abstract: A garment bag luggage cart attachment (10) fastens to a conventional soft-sided garment bag (12), which folds along spine (14) and has a handle (16) midway along the spine (14). Attachment (10) is formed from a first frame member (18) and a second frame member (20) pivotally connected to the first frame member (18) at (22) and (24). A flexible fabric belt (42) is permanently attached at one end to raised central portion (26) on the first frame member (18) and is releasably attached around raised central portion (30) on the second frame member (20) by means of Velcro type fasteners at (44). A set of short straps (46) are fastened to bottoms (28) and (32) of the first and second frame members (18) and (20). Straps (48) are fastened to strap rings (36) at ends (38) and (40). The straps (48) are double layered, with layers (50) and (52) free to separate along either side of the garment bag (12).
