DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a carrying bag or suitcase or luggage for accommodating or receiving various objects, such as displayers or mobile devices, comprises a carrying bag body or 25 housing 10 including two side portions 11 each having a coupling member or attachment 12 attached or coupled thereto, for example, the attachments 12 each include one or more cavities or depressions 14 formed therein for forming or defining one or more bulges or protrusions 15 (FIGS. 3, 6). The attachment 12 of the housing 10 may be selected from a catch, a latch, a fastener, a lock, a Velcro device, such as a hook and loop device, a magic sticker, a metal or magnetic member, or the like.

The carrying bag in accordance with the present invention further comprises a carrying strap or strap device 30 detachably attached or coupled to the suitcase housing 10 for carrying the housing 10 of the carrying bag. As also best shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the strap device 30 includes two end portions 31 each having a hook or engaging member 32 attached or coupled thereto for engaging with the attachments 12 of the housing 10 and for detachably securing or coupling to the two side portions 11 of the housing 10 with the attachments 12 of the housing 10. The engaging members 32 of the strap device 30 may also be selected from a catch, a latch, a fastener, a lock, a Velcro device, such as a hook and loop device, a magic sticker, a metal or magnetic member, or the like. The strap device 30 may include an adjustable structure or configuration (FIG. 9) or the like.

Particularly, the attachments 12 of the housing 10 and the engaging members 32 of the strap device 30 may be selected from a magnetic member for attracting to each other and for detachably securing or coupling the strap device 30 to the housing 10. The engaging members 32 of the strap device 30 each may also include one or more bulges or projections 33 extended therefrom for engaging with the depressions 14 of the attachments 12 of the housing 10 and for anchoring or retaining or positioning the engaging members 32 of the strap device 30 to the attachments 12 of the housing 10 respectively, and also for forming or defining one or more cavities or recesses 34 therein and for receiving or engaging with the protrusions 15 of the housing 10 respectively.

The carrying bag in accordance with the present invention further comprises one or more (such as two) anchoring or retaining devices 5 attached or mounted or secured to the strap device 30, particularly at the two end portions 31 of the strap device 30 respectively. The retaining devices 5 each include a block or casing 50 having a groove or slot or passage 51 formed therein for slidably receiving or engaging with the strap device 30 and for allowing the casings 50 of the retaining devices 5 to be slidably attached or mounted or secured to the strap device 30, best shown in dotted lines in FIG. 7. The engaging members 32 of the strap device 30 may include a size or standard or thickness greater than the width of the passage 51 of the casing 50 for anchoring the casings 50 of the retaining devices 5 to the strap device 30 and for preventing the retaining devices 5 from being disengaged or separated from the strap device 30.

The retaining devices 5 each further include a spring biasing flap or member 53 extended from the casing 50 for contacting or engaging with the engaging member 32 of the strap device 30 (FIG. 3), and a carrier or retainer 54 extended from the spring biasing member 53 and preferable, but not necessary that the retainer 54 is perpendicular to the spring biasing member 53 for contacting or engaging with the engaging member 32 of the strap device 30 and the attachment 12 of the housing 10 (FIGS. 1-3 and 7-9) and for further anchoring or retaining or positioning the casing 50 of the retaining device 5 to the strap device 30, and also for anchoring or retaining or positioning the engaging member 32 of the strap device 30 and the attachment 12 of the housing 10 together, and also for preventing the retaining devices 5 and the strap device 30 from being disengaged or separated from the housing 10.

In operation, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the engaging members 32 of the strap device 30 may first be engaged with the attachments 12 of the housing 10 respectively, particularly when the retaining devices 5 are disengaged or separated from the engaging members 32 of the strap device 30 respectively. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the casings 50 of the retaining devices 5 may then be moved toward and to engage with the engaging members 32 of the strap device 30 respectively, and then to engage the retainers 54 of the retaining devices 5 with the engaging members 32 of the strap device 30 and the attachments 12 of the housing 10, and thus for anchoring or retaining or positioning the strap device 30 to the housing 10, and for preventing the strap device 30 from being disengaged or separated from the housing 10.

Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the attachments 120, 121 of the housing 10 may include the depressions 141, 142 and/or the protrusions 151, 152 of different numbers and/or geometric shapes or structures or configurations for engaging with the corresponding engaging members 320, 321 of the strap device 30 that may include the projections 330, 331 and/or the recesses 340, 341 having corresponding numbers and/or geometric shapes or structures or configurations, and for allowing the engaging members 320, 321 of the strap device 30 to be anchored or retained or positioned to the attachments 120, 121 of the housing 10 respectively.

Accordingly, the package or suitcase or carrying bag includes an improved detachable carrying strap for easily and quickly and readily attaching to or being detached from the carrying bag and for firmly and solidly and stably attaching to or being detached from the carrying bag.
