Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a stabilizer system for a collapsible wardrobe and luggage system and method for use thereof, and more specifically to a stabilizer for use with the telescoping handle arms of a wardrobe and luggage system and storage thereof.
  • a wardrobe system comprising: a luggage wardrobe having a lid, a base, two side walls, and two end walls, said base, side walls, and end walls creating an interior space.
  • a structural support is extendable upwardly (upwardly when the wardrobe system is in use and the wardrobe system is laid on its base) from said base of said storage compartment; said structural support comprised of a pair of telescoping legs configured to be transformed from a first, stored position to a second, deployed position.
  • a stabilizer is configured (when the legs are deployed) to be removably inserted between said pair of telescoping legs of said structural support, thereby stabilizing said structural support; and said stabilizer comprising a pair of notches, each one of said pair of notches configured to engage one of said pair of telescoping legs.
  • the present invention generally provides a stabilizer device for a luggage system with a wardrobe element which extends from the luggage portion and which can support a crossbar for hanging clothing or costumes.
  • Optional arms can extend away from the crossbar for supporting a privacy curtain as defined in U.S. Patent Nos. 10,506,856 and 9,820,542 , which are commonly owned by the Applicant of the present invention and are incorporated herein by reference.
  • the wardrobe element is secured within the sides of the luggage, and the opening of the luggage can be opened and closed without needing to store the wardrobe element.
  • the wardrobe element includes two pairs of structural legs extending out of respective pockets within the luggage, the legs terminating at the crossbar.
  • the stabilizer element is used between each pair of supports forming the legs, and when not in use is sored within a pocket adjacent to the stored location of the legs.
  • the preferred embodiment is ideal for use when traveling or performing, which may require the user to change multiple outfits or costumes in an otherwise public area.
  • Fig. 1 shows a preferred luggage wardrobe stabilizer system 2 in a stored position, with a pair of supports 9 each having telescoping legs 8 which extend outward from within the luggage storage compartment 26 of the luggage wardrobe 4, such as taught by U.S. Patent Nos. 10,506,856 and 9,820,542 , which are commonly owned by the Applicant of the present invention and are incorporated herein by reference.
  • the luggage wardrobe 4 generally comprise a suitcase or other typical luggage device having a storage compartment, a closeable lid, various handles for carrying the luggage. Side handles 28 are also included and cap the telescoping legs 8 to help the user carry the luggage wardrobe 4.
  • Each of the pair of supports 9 extend through separately enclosed side passages 26 having their own flaps 6 which seal using a zipper 12 or other closure device, allowing the supports 9 to remain extended while the main compartment 11 of the luggage wardrobe 4 remains closed. This allows the lid 13 to be securely locked or otherwise fastened shut to protect the contents of the luggage wardrobe 4 while the supports 9 are extended upward.
  • a rod 16 may be connected to the top of the supports 9 using a storage crown 18 or other element, such as taught by U.S. Patent No. 10,512,318 and U.S. Patent Application no. 16/683,650 , which are commonly owned by the Applicant of the present invention and are incorporated herein by reference. This allows the rod 16 to be placed at an elevated position ideal for receiving clothing or costumes placed on clothes hangers or other hanging elements.
  • An optionally removable privacy curtain arm connects to one or both ends of the rod, allowing a privacy curtain to be extended out and away from the luggage for privacy while the user is changing clothing.
  • the rod 16 may be a telescoping rod for easy storage.
  • the lid 13 could attach to the rod 16 and/or the supports 9 for additional functionality and privacy.
  • a storage crown 18 could be placed atop each handle 28 and the rod 16 extended between two crowns.
  • the crowns include features as taught in U.S. Patent No. 10,512,318 and U.S. Patent Application no. 16/683,650 , incorporated herein by reference, which add additional storage and functionality to the present application.
  • a stabilizer 10 is shown in Fig. 1 in a stored position, where a hole 24 through the stabilizer body 20 is connected to a connector 15 within the compartment 26 where the supports 9 are stored.
  • the stabilizer 10 can be removed from the compartment and from the connector 15 and placed between the two telescoping legs 8 as shown in Fig. 3 to support the legs and add stability to the entire system.
  • Notches 14 on the stabilizer receive the telescoping legs 8 when the stabilizer 10 is inserted between the legs in the direction of the arrow 27. In a piece of luggage where the legs 8 are round or another shape, the notches 14 would reflect the shape of the legs, and therefore the arrow 27 may not be required.
  • a customized logo 22, such as the Glam'r Gear ® logo, owned by the Applicant of the present application, shown in Fig. 2 may be applied to the stabilizer 10 body 20 if desired to customize the stabilizer.
  • Fig. 5 shows how a portable stool 30 can be secured to the side of the luggage wardrobe 4 using a strap 36 having a buckle 38 to hold the legs 32 of the stool 30, and a corner pocket 40 storing a portion of the seat 34 of the stool 30 within an opening 42. This makes it easy for the user to bring a portable stool with their luggage wardrobe for preparing or relaxing before or after an event.
