Abstract: A handheld scale for weighing luggage having a body housing a power source, a processor, and a display, a luggage engagement member rotatably coupled to the body and moveable between a first position and a second position in which the luggage engagement member presents a surface from which a piece of luggage can be supported, a load sensor, and a switch activated by the luggage engagement member, the switch being configured such that when the luggage engagement member is in the second position, the power source is operatively coupled to the display, and the processor is configured to receive, from the load sensor, a signal proportional to a force applied to the surface relative to the body, and to provide, via the display, an indication of the force; and when the luggage engagement member is in the first position, the power source is operatively decoupled from at least the display.

Abstract: A luggage is disclosed having a front face opposite a rear face, a plurality of sides, and at least one support. The plurality of side faces collectively surround the front and rear faces. Each side face connects the front face to the rear face. The plurality of side faces includes at least an upper face opposite a lower face. The lower face includes a front portion extending forwardly of the upper face. The at least one support is coupled to the front portion of the lower face. A handle is coupled to the upper face.

Abstract: A hybrid luggage bag includes first and second shell portions. The first shell portion defines a first side of the bag, and includes a first forward edge. The second shell portion is spaced apart from the first shell portion in a width direction, defines a second side of the bag, and includes a second forward edge. A fabric lid defines a front side of the bag. The fabric lid is releasably fastened to at least one of the first and second forward edges for permitting access to a storage compartment of the bag.
