Luggage case

- Airway Industries, Inc.
Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a luggage case showing my new design with the closure flap disengaged from the lock and the slide fasteners partially open;

FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof but with the flap engaged in the lock assembly;

FIG. 3 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view thereof; and

FIG. 6 is a left end elevational view, the right end being substantially a mirror image thereof.

The characteristic feature of my design resides principally in the configuration of the raised sectors at the four corners of each side panel, with a curved ridge paralleling the contour of the sector and bounded by stitching on each side, which ridge terminates at opposite ends at the marginal welting surrounding the side panels.
