Abstract: A piece of luggage has a closable case having an interior, a partition subdividing the interior into a gun compartment adapted to hold a gun and another compartment adapted to hold personal items. The gun is secured in place in the gun compartment. The case is elongated and has a long edge formed with an opening giving access to the other personal-item compartment and a short end formed with an opening giving access to the gun compartment. The partition extends longitudinally in the case. Alternately the case is formed by a pair of hard shells and the partition carrying the gun is pivoted between them.

Abstract: A portable gun case has a generally rectangular floor wall having two long side edges and two short end edges bridging the side edges, respective side and end walls projecting upward from the respective edges of the floor wall and forming an upwardly open cavity, and a top wall secured to one of the side walls and engageable down over the cavity. A mounting board fitted to one of the walls in the cavity is adapted to support parts of a gun. A plurality of flexible holding tapes are each mounted releasably at any of a plurality of locations on the board so the tapes can be wrapped around the parts of the gun and thereby securing the gun to the board.

Abstract: A closure device for a container, which possesses a locking means for mutually locking of two container parts when the container is closed. The locking means comprises first and second locking instrumentalities, which are arranged on the different container parts. By means of an actuating member, which is able to be switched over between a closed position and an open position a first engagement member may be shifted between a locking position and a released position. The open position of the actuating member corresponding to the locking position may be secured by an obstructing member in order to prevent unauthorized unlocking of the container. An opening mechanism renders possible an overriding of the obstructing action and a switching over of the actuating member into the open position.

Abstract: A carrier for tools and the like has a base normally adapted to sit on a floor surface, a frame extending upward from the base, and a hollow case adapted to hold the tools and having bottom, top, and side walls displaceable on the frame between a lower position sitting on the base and an upper position on the frame spaced above the base. This frame includes at least one generally vertical post and the case is vertically slidable along the post. A latch or the like is provided for retaining the case in the upper position on the post. The latch includes a spring-loaded latch that automatically secures the case in the upper position when it is slid into the upper position. In addition the frame includes two such posts parallel to each other and the upper wall is provided generally centrally with a handle. Each post includes an upper tube and a lower tube telescoping there-with. The lower tubes are fixed in the base and each post projects through the lower wall and through the upper wall of the case.

Abstract: A holder for tools, instruments and the like has a base surface juxtaposed with a countersurface, the base surface being provided with an array of elastically deformable bristles, e.g. on an artificial turf strip cemented to one of the surfaces, for engaging the objects inserted into the holder.

Abstract: A protective helmet for bicycles has a skeletal outer body of impact-resistant and impact-absorbing hard synthetic resin and a cushion cap within this body which substantially completely encloses the cranium of the wearer and bridges spaces between the relatively narrow bands from which the skeletal outer body is constituted. The bands include a chin band forming a ring with a occipital band, a frontal band bridging across the chin band and a saggital band centrally connecting the frontal band and the occipital band.

Abstract: A convertible top has the edges of its cover stitched to polyethylene-shaped strips which conform to the undersides of the frame members around the front, rear and sides of the convertible top. The strips are held against the undersides of the frame members complementarily by holding rails and screws, and sealing strips are fitted onto the holding rails.
