  • Patent number: 3944032
    Abstract: A first relatively rigid case section having two end walls with a connecting intermediate wall is interconnected with a flexible second case section via a single zipper with stops defining permanent securement lengths. The first case section also includes a generally C-shaped frame contoured to form the upper wall and extend downwardly a limited amount onto each end wall. Molded plastic supports are affixed to the lower inner end portions of the end walls to provide a firm supportive base for the case. Case sections are otherwise formed of a pliant material, eg, laminated plastic sheets. A cover and strap or bar fold over long garments such as coats or dresses, holding them against the inner wall surfaces of the second case section. A hanger assembly affixed to the inner top wall surface accommodates garment hangers. Optionally, hooklike apparatus connected to the first case section is selectively extendible to the outside of the case to enable toting or hanging of the open case assembly.
