Convertible Carrying Case and Securement System for a Post

Abstract

A convertible carrying case and securement system for a post comprising a case comprising of at least five contiguous panels that form a substantially hexahedral volume, a retractable pull handle on one end of the case, at least one pair of wheels on the distal end of the case at the opposite end of the retractable pull handle, the case having a plurality of straps and/or handles attached to at least one of the outside panel surfaces, wherein the five panels include the case floor, two case side panels, a wheel-side panel closest to the pair of wheels, and a panel parallel to the wheel-side panel but connecting the opposite edges of the side panels, a post comprising at least a stump within the case.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A convertible carrying case and securement system for a post comprising:
 a case, further comprising at least five contiguous panels that form a hexahedral volume;   a retractable pull handle on one end of said case;   at least one pair of wheels on the distal end of said case at the opposite end of said retractable pull handle;   wherein said panels comprise a floor, two side panels, a wheel-side panel closest to said pair of wheels, and a panel parallel to said wheel-side panel but connecting the opposite edges of said side panels (“handle-end panel”); and   a post comprising a stump, wherein one of the ends of said stump is within said case;   wherein said one of said ends of said stump is proximally located and attached to said case.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a plurality of adjustable support structure (“ADJSS”) sub-assemblies;   wherein:
 each of said ADJSS sub-assemblies comprises an adjustment knob, a foot, and a threaded shaft connecting said knob with said foot; 
 each said foot comprises a hemispherical element with a center-top borehole to accommodate a threaded adjuster shaft; 
 each hemispherical element has another threaded borehole where a fastening element is threaded in and orthogonally engages a shank portion of said threaded adjuster shaft so that said foot is securely fixed to the threaded adjuster shaft. 
   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a separate single-segment tube or base portion of a multiple segment telescoping tube can be slid relative to said stump to form overlapping sections of said post. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein said stump and extension tube segments have a plurality of holes drilled straight through from one side to the other to allow a pin to be disposed through lined-up holes of the said stump to another tube, or another tube segment to a separate tube segment, or a tube segment to a coaxially placed attachment collar or cup-like element. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein said attachment collar or said cup-like element is connected to an attachment extension on one end while an opposite end of the attachment is connected to a hangable structure. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein said attachment collar or said cup-like element is connected to a boom or a structural member. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said case has a plurality of construction levels, each attached to one of said case's inner panel surfaces. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein each of said hemispherical elements of each said foot is attached to a plate with a rubbery bottom surface or attached to a suction cup, a ground screw, or a stake. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein each knob's top surface comprises a cavity shaped to allow engagement with a socket wrench drive. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the ground-facing surface of said case floor is lined with a rubbery material, a non-slip polymeric material, a coating that is used to enhance traction of a vehicle tire and a road surface, or one side of a hook and loop fastener. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of peg accommodating boreholes along the top and bottom surfaces of at least two non-floor cases panels of each case to enable vertical stacking of separate cases when a peg is situated in each of the aligned peg accommodating boreholes along the mating surfaces of the corresponding panels of each of the stacked cases. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 2 :
 further comprising four ADJSS sub-assemblies;   wherein:
 each ADJSS sub-assembly is placed at each corner of said case's floor or an extension of said case; 
 said extension of said case juts out from the bottom portion of the case panel parallel and handle-end panel; 
 said threaded shaft is disposed through the case floor or an extension to the case with mating threads. 
   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of ledges extending from an inner facet of the case's panels where objects hangable by said system can be placed during storage. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said floor can hold a weight or a plurality of weights to augment stability against said post from tipping.
