  • This invention relates generally to luggage devices and assemblies with efficient storage designs, and more particularly to luggage with features that use a novel and efficient design of a handle.
  • Luggage comprises bags and/or containers that can hold or store items, typically used during transit or travel.
  • Some examples of luggage include: suitcases, garment bags, trunks, totes, duffel bags, and/or carpet bags. Additionally, many types of luggage include features which allow it to be mobile, including wheels, straps, and/or handles.
  • a longer handle is required so that the user may pull or push the luggage without bending over.
  • the handle can be retractable. This type of luggage handle is widely referred to as a "telescoping handle.”
  • Described herein are devices and methods that use novel and efficient designs and layouts to maximize storage space in luggage.
  • devices and methods herein can provide luggage comprising a well-balanced load, so that luggage according to the present invention can simplify and/or ease the packing and/or travel process.
  • the present disclosure can comprise a handle location that will maximize storage space in luggage. More specifically, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a retractable handle can be placed in the center of the luggage, which can reduce the likelihood of the handle interfering with storage space on either side of the handle, which in turn can optimize the storage capability of the luggage.
  • a telescoping handle can be mounted to the top center of the luggage and extend downward through the luggage, such that storage compartments can extend on either side of the luggage.
  • telescoping handles according to the present disclosure can divide the luggage on either side of the handle.
  • the telescoping handle can also comprise attachment points securing the handle system, which can assure accurate and/or easy guiding of the bag while being moved. Also, mounting the handle system in the center of the luggage can allow the luggage to be guided with equal forces on load and motion.
  • the access to the luggage compartments can be along the center vertical divider of the luggage.
  • two access points such as zippers, can be on either side of the center structure handle divider.
  • This arrangement can be used in both soft- sided and hard-sided luggage.
  • hard-sided luggage there can be an option for a latching system along the same vertical structure section of the bag.
  • This dual access created by dividing the luggage compartments on either side of the center divider can allow a user flexibility when packing the luggage. For instance, a user can open one side of the luggage at a time while the luggage is lying on its opposite side, or position the luggage with the center handle section pointing vertically. In the latter example, both sides of luggage storage compartments are accessible at the same time.

  • the luggage 100 in FIG. 1 can comprise a handle 116 mounted to the top center 114 of the luggage 100.
  • the handle 116 is a telescoping or pull-out handle.
  • the telescoping handle 116 can extend down into and through the luggage 100, such that the storage compartments 140, 160 in the luggage 100 are divided.

By doing so, the tube system 117 and the telescoping handle 116 are not exposed to outside elements. This is important because the telescoping handle 116 can be easily damaged if it is located in an exposed area of the luggage 100. Accordingly, some embodiments of the present disclosure can allow the tube system 117 and the telescoping handle 116 to have an increased lifespan, which can result in an increased lifespan for the overall luggage 100.

  • the divider 180 can be constructed out of a material that can add some structural stability or soundness to the luggage 100, such as wire form or molded plastic frame. By doing so, the weight of the telescoping handle 116 can be stabilized within the center of the divider 180. In some embodiments, the divider 180 can be relatively firm or stiff, which can help with the structural stability of the luggage 100. In order to pack the luggage 100, the divider 180 can be arranged vertically and both the front storage compartment 160 and the back storage compartment 140 can be loaded simultaneously. FIG. 4B displays such an orientation. In contrast, the divider 180 can be arranged horizontally and the front storage compartment 160 and the back storage compartment 140 can be loaded one at a time.
