Luggage carrying device

Abstract

A body removably attachable to belts for carrying a wheeled luggage includes an attachable element for attaching the body to a belt. The attachable element has an orifice and can include an elongated U-shaped member having a bottom, first and second side sections. The attachable element further includes a top section having first and second ends. The first end of the top section is hingedly connected to the first end of the first side section of the U-shaped member. A flap is hingedly connected to the second end of the top section. The flap and second side section of the U-shaped member are provided with a tongue and groove locking arrangement. The body further includes a reversed j-shaped utility element for holding a handle of a wheeled luggage.

What is claimed is:

         2 . The body of  claim 1 , wherein the utility element has a reversed j-shape. 
     
     
         3 . The body of  claim 2 , wherein the locking arrangement is a tongue and groove arrangement. 
     
     
         4 . The body of  claim 3 , wherein the locking arrangement comprises a protrusion extending from the surface of the flap corresponding with an aperture on the second side section of the U-shaped member. 
     
     
         5 . The body of  claim 1 , wherein the body is in a locked position when a feature of the protrusion inserts into and is captured by the corresponding aperture of the second side section such that the top section remains substantially perpendicular to the bottom section. 
     
     
         6 . The body of  claim 5 , wherein the body is in a unlocked position when the feature of the protrusion is not captured by the corresponding aperture of the second side section such that the top section is not substantially perpendicular to the bottom section. 
     
     
         7 . The body of  claim 6 , wherein in the locked position the body remains attached to a belt when forces substantially downward act upon the body, and wherein in the unlocked position the body is detachable from the belt when forces substantially downward act upon the body. 
     
     
         8 . The body of  claim 6 , wherein the locking arrangement comprises an aperture on the flap corresponding and matching with a protrusion on the second side section of the U-shaped member. 
     
     
         9 . The body of  claim 2 , wherein the locking arrangement is a snap. 
     
     
         10 . The body of  claim 1 , wherein the body is made of metal. 
     
     
         11 . The body of  claim 1 , wherein the body is made of wood. 
     
     
         12 . The body of  claim 1 , wherein the body is made of plastic. 
     
     
         13 . A body removably attachable to a belt for carrying a wheeled luggage, comprising an attachable element for attaching the body to a belt, and a utility element for holding a handle of a wheeled luggage, wherein the attachable element comprises:
 an orifice for receiving a belt,   an elongated U-shaped member having a bottom, first and second side sections,   a top section having first and second ends, the first end of the top section being hingedly connected to the terminal end of the first side section of the U-shaped member, and   a flap hingedly connected to the second end of the top section, wherein the flap and second side section of the U-shaped member are provided with a locking arrangement.   
     
     
         14 . The body of  claim 13 , wherein the locking arrangement is a tongue and groove arrangement. 
     
     
         15 . A body removably attachable to a belt for carrying a wheeled luggage comprising:
 an attachable element for attaching the body to a belt comprising an orifice for receiving a belt;   an elongated U-shaped member having a bottom, first and second side sections and, a top section having first and second ends, the first end of the top section being hingedly connected to a terminal end of the first side section of the U-shaped member;   a flap hingedly connected to the second end of the top section, wherein the flap and second side section of the U-shaped member are provided with a tongue and groove locking arrangement; and,   a reversed j-shaped utility element for holding a handle of a wheeled luggage.   
     
     
         16 . The body of  claim 15 , wherein the locking arrangement comprises a protrusion extending from the surface of the flap corresponding with an aperture on the second side section of the U-shaped member. 
     
     
         17 . The body of  claim 16 , wherein the locking arrangement has a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein in the locked position the body remains attached to a belt when forces substantially downward act upon the body, and wherein in the unlocked position the body is detachable from the belt when forces substantially downward act upon the body. 
     
     
         18 . The body of  claim 17 , wherein the body is in a locked position when a feature of the protrusion inserts into and is captured by the corresponding aperture of the second side section of the U-shaped member such that the top section remains substantially perpendicular to the bottom section of the U-shape member. 
     
     
         19 . The body of  claim 18 , wherein the body is in a unlocked position when the feature of the protrusion is not captured by the corresponding aperture of the second side section of the U-shaped member.
