  • Publication number: 20080308369
    Abstract: A luggage transport system consists of a plurality of luggage or suitcase components, each with wheels and retractable handles, connected in a train or series. The connection between each luggage component is accomplished by unique luggage face to luggage face attachment. A support element is secured to and extends from the front faces of all but the last luggage component in the luggage train. The support element has insertion holes at its lower region and an interior groove at its upper region. The rear faces of all but the first luggage component in the luggage train have outwardly extended portions with downwardly extending peg members at their lower regions and transversely extended pocket sections at their upper regions. Connection is first made by inserting the peg members of the second luggage component in the train into the holes of the support element of the first luggage component in the train.

  • Publication number: 20080217130
    Abstract: A self-contained luggage carrier system uses a primary piece of luggage or suitcase with transporting wheels and a retractable handle. There is an opening at the bottom of the primary luggage which is configured to house a planar luggage support member. The opening can be formed internally of the luggage or by a separate luggage support housing connected to the bottom of the piece of luggage. The luggage support member comprises two components. One component is configured to be positioned within the opening and the second component is retractably insertable into the first component. When the first component is located within the opening, it is retained in position by tension spring members. The second component is then extended out from the first component in cantilevered fashion and additional pieces of luggage can be placed on the support member and easily transported with the primary piece of luggage.
