Abstract: A luggage holder for holding a carrying case or valise stacked upon a wheeled case having a telescoping handle includes a pair of spaced elastic cords extending from a fastener plate attachable to the wheeled carrying case. A medial bridging element connects the cords and is slidably adjustable along the length of the cords to enhance the placement of appropriate retention forces on a case stacked upon the wheeled carrying case and positioned against a telescoping handle. An adjustable spacing plate is provided to fit over the telescoping handle and includes frictional material on one side to insure retention of the spacing plate and the assembly with the telescoping handle.

Abstract: A bag mounted with casters has a bag body attached to a base frame mounted with the casters at four corners of a bottom surface thereof. The base frame includes a loading table, and vertically extensible rods with a grip mounted at upper ends thereof. The extensible rods are fixed on one side of the loading table so as to stand on their own. Further, when the grip is raised, the extensible rods are curved or tilted so that the grip moves toward the middle of the loading table. The extensible rods are secured at a position in a retracted state by stoppers so that the grip is positioned at an upper portion of the bag body or above the bag body, and are secured at a position by the stoppers in an extended state so that a height of the grip from the bottoms of the casters is in a range of 60 to 100 cm.

Abstract: A folding travel bag with a cart, which can be used not only as an ordinary travel bag but also as a cart. The folding travel bag includes: a box-shaped travel bag body having a pair of wheels on the bottom face of the body closer to the back: a folding plate having two flat plates connected so that they can be freely folded and borne perpendicularly to the body surface and so that one end of the flat plates is hinged to the lower position on the surface side of the body; a pair of wheels disposed at the leading end portion of said folding plate; and support member extending obliquely upward of the two sides of the body from the two sides of the folding plate. Both the paired wheels on the leading end portion of the folding plate and the paired wheels on the body bottom face are arranged on the floor to bear the body, when the folding plate is folded and brought closer to the side of the body surface or when the folding plate is extended perpendicularly to the body surface.

Abstract: A convertible travel case has a frame including an upright with a handle for grasping and a base with wheels for towing. A rigid case is mounted on the frame by a connector bracket having one portion pivotally connected with an upper part of the case and another portion slidably connected with the upright to permit the case to be shifted between a generally vertical storage position and a generally horizontal cart position. The frame and case have mating catch members at the bottom of the case. A releasable lock connects the connector bracket and the upright in a first raised position wherein the catch members are engaged to retain the case in the storage position, and a second lowered position wherein the catch members are disengaged and the lower end of the case is swung outwardly away from the frame with the connector bracket shifting downwardly along the upright to the cart position for supporting additional luggage on top of the case.

Abstract: A luggage case is provided with straps or handles for carrying the case and a wheel and an extendable handle assembly for dragging or pulling the case. The wheel and extendable handle assembly is removably attachable to the case, such that it need not be carried when the case is carried by the straps or handles. The wheel and handle assembly are formed as a shell to snugly surround the luggage case. In the preferred embodiment, the case and the shell are joined by mating zippers at the bottom front and top rear edges of the assembly.

Abstract: A sporting equipment bag including a body having a first compartment, a first end, a second end, a third end and a fourth end. The bag also includes a second compartment which is located adjacent the first compartment, the second compartment has a first, open end and a second, sealed end. The first, open end extends beyond the body and is folded into the second compartment into a folded, stored position. The first, open end provides access to the second compartment separate from the first compartment. A pair of hook and loop fasteners are attached to the second compartment to secure it in a folded, stored position. An extendable portion extends between the body and the first open end to receive a rod-shaped object and is telescoped within the second compartment into a folded, stored position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-purpose traveling luggage which comprises a case body with an associated cover at front and a backboard in the back. When the luggage is positioned in an erect position, the outer comers at the bottom of the associated cover has two caster wheels and the lower portion of the backboard is connected to a pair of leg supports. The lower portions of the leg supports comprise a pair of leg wheels, and the upper portions of the leg supports are connected to the outer edges at the midportion of the backboard. There is a pair of drive rod members having their lower portions connected to the lower outer edges of the backboard and their upper portions connected to each other by a connecting rod member. The drive rod members are connected to the leg supports through the engagement of elongated scissor grooves on the leg supports and scissor pins on the drive rod members.

Abstract: The sports bag of the present invention is preferably used for the transport and storage of hockey equipment. The bag comprises a base to which side walls and end walls are hingedly connected. The bag can occupy a planar configuration, when the base, side walls and end walls are co-planar, or in a closed configuration, when the walls are hinged upwardly from the base and connected to each other, preferably by zippers, at adjacent edges to define an interior space. Pockets disposed on the interior surfaces of the bag are made of material, such as nylon mesh, which allows air to circulate through the pockets, expediting evaporation of moisture from an item of sports equipment or clothing inside a respective pocket. In the planar configuration, the bag may be suspended vertically from a hanger to minimize the space required for air-drying of the sports equipment items in the pockets.
