Abstract: A briefcase has front, center and rear panels dividing its interior into first and second compartments, the first of which has an accordion file positioned therewithin. A first cover embodiment overlaps the accordion file to close it off, while a second cover embodiment overlaps both first and second compartments.

Abstract: A luggage piece and a method for packing and transporting the same are provided. A first compartment has an interior for carrying first items. A second compartment is provided for carrying second items. The second items are distinguishable from the first items in that the second compartment includes a hanging device for hanging articles from the hanging device. The second compartment, therefore, acts as a garment carrier and the first compartment acts as a standard luggage compartment. The first compartment and the second compartment are integrally formed as a single luggage piece for simple packing and unpacking of articles as well as simplified transport of the luggage piece following packing of the articles. An extendable arm having a handle and wheels is provided for transport of the luggage piece.

The strap has wings or legs projecting from its secured mid portion. The end of each wing or leg has a pad of a hook and loop ("Velcro") fastener secured on its inner side. A complimentary hook and loop pad is secured to the opposing inner face of the cover at a location to secure the outer ends of the wings or legs in an extended flat condition against the cover. The two wings or legs are pulled free of the cover carried pads, and are brought together on opposite sides of their secured mid portion.

Abstract: A sports duffle bag has a canvas, plastic, or leather, top opening tubular body, with a sidewall open top pocket closed by a slide fastener, and sized to snugly receive the head of a tennis racket. An opening at a top corner of the pocket permits the racket handle to project from the pocket. An expansion panel is secured in the mouth of the pocket and has two flaps connected by a slide fastener so that in the open position the flaps hang in the pocket alongside the head of the racket and in the closed position the flaps are pulled above the pocket and closed over a racket head extending above the pocket thus increasing the height of the pocket for accommodating oversized rackets.

Abstract: An improved tube shape duffel-type travel or sports bag is disclosed which features an oblong softsided central compartment having access through the top thereof, and a pair of matching smaller compartments, one each on the opposing ends of the oblong central compartment. The opposing compartments have circumferential zippered openings therearound. In the improvement of the invention one of the end compartments includes a plurality of pockets/dividers therein for selective positioning of user materials in each as desired. The opposing smaller compartment on the opposite end of the bag includes therein an expansible wall constructed in connection and cooperation with one end wall of the main central compartment. The expansible wall includes a collapsible pocket, preferably made of waterproof material, which is capable of extending into the main compartment and expanding therein as desired, preferably for positioning worn clothing or accessories therein.
