Abstract: A luggage latch secures a lid to a box. A hasp is mounted on the lid. A bolt and slide are mounted on the box with the bolt being resiliently mounted on the slide. When the lid is closed on the box, the bolt will resiliently snap into position to hold the lid on the box. The latch mechanism is recessed into the luggage so that its external surface is flush with the surface of the luggage.

Abstract: Soft luggage has a fabric side wall. Two pockets are stitched to the side wall. Each pocket has a crescent-shaped upper edge and a crescent-shaped lid hinged to the side wall. A slide fastener connects the lid to the crescent-shaped upper edge to close the pocket.

Abstract: A garment bag formed by two fabric walls hinged together along one side edge and enclosed on the remaining edges by a slidable fastener. A carrying strap having a wide foam-backed pad distributes the weight when shoulder carrying a loaded bag. When folded upon itself, it has a hanger spanning adjoining edges and secured in a retainer loop. A retainer flap overlies the hanger and loop to keep the hanger in the loop. A waterproof pocket is formed integrally with one of the bag walls.

Abstract: A soft luggage-type suitcase having three compartments enclosed by panels or lids hinged to a container having top, bottom and side walls. One of the compartments is closed by a lid having a wide rim at its free end and a narrow rim forming a hinge of the lid to the container. A diagonal rim connects the narrow rim to the wide rim. A universal hanger is connected to the wide rim. An extender panel is hinged to the top wall of the container and cooperates with the lid and universal hanger for the packing of long garments.

Abstract: A garment bag has a hook at its upper end and a loop at its lower end into which the hook is retained when the garment bag is folded upon itself. The hook is attached to the upper end by means of a slide which can selectively be attached to a rigid receptacle on said upper end or a loop extending from the upper end, thereby providing for one of two dimensions from the upper end to the lower end, thereby accommodating either lightly filled or very full garment bags.

Abstract: A carryon suitcase having two compartments. A garment bag is twice folded upon itself and packed in one of the compartments.

Abstract: A garment carrier includes an inner chamber. A stiff flap is hingedly mounted along a lower edge of the inner chamber between front and rear panels of the garment carrier. The flap includes a plurality of elastic shoe pockets for receiving shoes. A hanger bracket is pivotably mounted at an upper edge of the inner chamber. The hanger bracket includes a pair of spaced apart, stationary legs each of which having a resilient insert portion defining a longitudinal channel for receiving hanger hooks. Each of the insert portions includes longitudinally spaced projections extending perpendicularly into the channel. The projections on one side of the channel are aligned with, and terminate short of, the projections disposed on the opposite side of the channel. A pair of triangular corner pockets are positioned in two upper corners of the inner chamber. The corner pockets are formed of flexible material and provided with reinforcement to maintain their shape.
