Abstract

An apparatus, a system and a method connects bags around a traveler to allow the traveler to move while carrying the bags. A first bag rests upon a shoulder of the traveler and connects to a third bag near the waist of the traveler by a strap. A second bag extends across the back of the traveler. The first bag connects to the second bag which connects to the third bag by a connector. The traveler lifts the third bag toward the first bag to extend and connect a strap between the first bag and the third bag. The three bags surround the traveler to allow the traveler to have both hands unencumbered.

1 . An apparatus for carrying luggage around a traveler, the apparatus comprising:
 a first bag positioned on a shoulder of the traveler;   a second bag extending across the back of the traveler;   a third bag near the waist of the traveler;   a strap connecting the first bag to the third bag; and   a connector that connects the first bag to the second bag and the second bag to the third bag.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a strap adjuster on the second bag wherein the strap threads through the strap adjuster to connect the second bag to the first bag and the third bag. 
 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a clip that attaches to an extension protruding from the first bag, the second bag and the third bag. 
 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 an adjustment area on the first bag, the second bag and the third bag wherein the traveler adjusts the length of the strap at the adjustment area. 
 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a zipper extending across the first bag wherein the traveler opens the zipper to place luggage into the first bag. 
 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a buckle on the strap that adjusts the length of the strap. 
 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a ball joint attached to the second bag wherein the ball joint receives a rod to connect the second bag to the first bag and to connect the second bag to the third bag. 
 
     
     
         8 . A system comprising:
 a first bag connected to second bag by a fastener positioned between the first bag and the second bag;   a loop extending from the first bag and the second bag wherein the loop assists in lifting the first bag and the second bag;   a strap extending from the first bag to connect to the second bag; and   a strap adjuster to adjust a length of the strap around a traveler wearing the first bag and the second bag.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8  wherein the first bag is placed adjacent to the second bag on the ground. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising:
 a stack formed by placing the first bag on the second bag. 
 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising:
 a connector rod extending from the first bag wherein the connector rod attaches to a ball joint on the second bag. 
 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising:
 a zipper extending across the first bag. 
 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8  wherein the strap is threaded through the strap adjuster. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising:

 connecting a first bag to a second bag;   connecting the second bag to a third bag;   positioning the first bag on a shoulder of a traveler, the second bag across the back of the traveler and the third bag near the waist of the traveler;   lifting the third bag toward the first bag; and   extending a strap from the first bag toward the third bag to connect the first bag with the third bag.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15  further comprising:
 adjusting the third bag to accommodate size of the traveler.
