FIGS. 1 through 15 thereof, a new suitcase device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described. - As best illustrated in
FIGS. 1 through 15 , the luggage and garmenthanging combination assembly 10 generally comprises ahousing 12 having arear wall 14 and aperimeter wall 16 that is attached to and extends forwardly of therear wall 14. Theperimeter wall 16 has afront edge 18 defining an opening 20 into thehousing 12 and acover 22 is attached to thefront edge 18 which is pivotal with respect to theperimeter wall 16. Thecover 22 is positioned in a closed condition covering the opening 20 or in an open condition exposing the opening 20. It should be understood that thecover 22 may comprise a cover positioning in a forward wall of the housing covering an opening in the forward wall. Aclosure 24, such as a conventional zipper, is positioned on thefront edge 18 and releasably secures thecover 22 in the closed position. Theperimeter wall 16 will typically include atop wall 26, abottom wall 28, afirst side wall 30 and asecond side wall 32. A plurality ofwheels 34 is coupled to thehousing 12 and one ormore handles 36 is also attached to thehousing 12 wherein one of thehandles 36 may comprise a telescoping handle. As such, the above will define a generally conventional suitcase used for holding clothing and personal items while traveling. The plurality of wheels will typically be mounted on thebottom wall 28 though other locations may be contemplated. - Within the general constructs of the above structure of the
housing 12, the invention may take the form of one of a plurality of embodiments. In all embodiments theperimeter wall 16 includes anaccess aperture 40 that extends through theperimeter wall 16 to access an interior of thehousing 12. Apanel 42 is mounted on theperimeter wall 16 for closing or opening the access aperture. Thepanel 42 will typically be constructed of the same material as thehousing 12 including plastics, fabrics with or without internal frames and other materials typically used for suitcase construction such that thehousing 12 is sufficiently rigid to hold its shape. Thepanel 42 is secured in a closed positioned with aconventional fastener 44 such as a zipper, snaps, hook and loop closures and the like. In one embodiment, theaccess aperture 40 is positioned in thetop wall 26 and extends from thefirst side wall 30 to thesecond side wall 32. - A
garment bar 46 is provided which includes, as shown best inFIG. 2 , afirst end 48, asecond end 50, aforward edge 52, arear edge 54, and anupper surface 56 extending between the first 48 and second 50 ends. While thegarment bar 46 may comprise a rod, it may be preferred that thegarment bar 46 is formed of an arcuate wall or plate which has a width from theforward edge 52 to therear edge 54 being greater than 2.5 inches to reduce the chances that agarment 58 positioned therein will wrinkle. Theupper surface 56 is convexly arcuate from therear edge 54 to theforward edge 52 and agarment 58, such as a sports coat, may be draped over thegarment bar 46 such that thegarment 58 rests on theupper surface 56. - As can be seen in
FIG. 1 , thegarment bar 46 may extend between the first 30 and second 32 side walls and is spaced from afront edge 60 andrear edge 62 of the access opening 40 so that thegarment 58 can easily be positioned on thegarment bar 46 even if thegarment bar 46 is statically positioned in thehousing 12. As shown inFIG. 15 , thegarment bar 46 may be fixedly mounted in thehousing 12 such that it is not movable relative to thehousing 12. The embodiment of thegarment bar 46 inFIG. 15 may be also be pivotable, relative to thehousing 12 while being non-removable from thehousing 12. Alternatively, thegarment bar 46 may be removably mounted in thehousing 12 so that thegarment bar 12 can be removed from thehousing 12, thegarment 58 placed on thegarment bar 12, and thegarment bar 12 then placed back into thehousing 12. This may be accomplished with mounts or couplers on the first 48 and second 50 ends which mate with connectors, catches, sleeves or the like on thehousing 12. - Alternatively, as shown particularly in
FIG. 2 , thegarment bar 46 may be mounted on acarriage 64 mounted in thehousing 12 such that thegarment bar 46 is movable between a stored condition located within thehousing 12 to a deployed condition extended outwardly through theaccess aperture 40, while remaining attached to thehousing 12. This embodiment includes a pair ofposts 66, which may be telescopic, that are secured to the first 30 and second 32 side walls with thegarment bar 46 attached to and extending between theposts 66. However, asingle post 66 may be sufficient for supporting thegarment bar 46. - Shown best in
FIG. 4 is a dividingwall 68 that divides thehousing 12 into afirst compartment 70 and asecond compartment 72. The dividingwall 68 in the embodiment ofFIGS. 1-7 and 15 extends from thefirst side wall 30 to thesecond side wall 32 and from thetop wall 26 to thebottom wall 28. Thegarment bar 46 is positioned in thefirst compartment 70 and may be only accessible through theaccess aperture 40 where thesecond compartment 72 is accessible only through theopening 20. Thus, a person may open thepanel 42 without clothes or other articles, which are positioned in thesecond compartment 72, from falling out of thehousing 12 or being viewable by onlookers. Depending on the size of thehousing 12, the dividingwall 68, instead of extending from thetop wall 26 to thebottom wall 28 may instead extend partially down from thetop wall 26 and then extend rearwardly to therear wall 14 so that thesecond compartment 72 also extends below and is positioned between thebottom wall 28 and thefirst compartment 70. - Alternatively, the
access aperture 40 may be in thefirst side wall 30 as shown inFIG. 8 . It should be understood that in the embodiment ofFIG. 8 thegarment bar 46 may again be mounted in a static condition so that thepanel 42 is opened and thegarment 58 slid onto thegarment bar 46. Alternatively, thecarriage 64 in this embodiment may include alongitudinal track 74 supporting thegarment bar 46 such that thegarment bar 46 extends laterally outwardly away from thehousing 12. This embodiment may include a dividingwall 68 as shown inFIG. 4 , however, as shown inFIG. 10 no dividing wall may be utilized. - In one embodiment as shown in
FIG. 12-14 , thegarment bar 46 may be mounted to anenclosure 76 which is mounted within thehousing 12. Thegarment bar 46 is positioned on top of theenclosure 76 and may be statically mounted as described above or can laterally extend out of thehousing 12 as shown inFIG. 8 . However, thegarment 58, when positioned on thegarment bar 46, will extend over and abut afront wall 78 and aback wall 80 of theenclosure 76 while theenclosure 76 itself will hold clothes and other personal items. Theenclosure 76 may include one ormore doors 82, positioned on a side thereof or in thefront wall 78 to access the interior of theenclosure 76, or theenclosure 76 may be without a side wall to facilitate access into theenclosure 76. Thedoors 82 may be secured by a catch, friction fit, or other closures including zippers, snaps and the like depending on the material used to construct theenclosure 76 which may be a rigid material or a flexible material combined framing. As can be seen inFIG. 12 , thegarment bar 46 may be attached to aguide 84 which engages atrack 86 attached to theenclosure 76 though this arrangement may be reversed. - In each embodiment where the
garment bar 46 utilizes acarriage 64 such that it can extend vertically or laterally out of thehousing 12, thecarriage 64 may be motorized utilizing a conventional electric motor and controls. Such a system would typically include a rechargeable battery for a power supply and the controls may include either actuators on thehousing 12 or a remote control using, for example, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth enabled transmitters and receivers to allow a person to use their cellular phone for controlling thecarriage 64. - In use, the
assembly 10 is used in a conventional manner as a suitcase is used for transporting clothing and personal articles while traveling. However, theaccessible garment bar 46 allows a person to remove their outer covering, i.e.garment 58, whether that is a shawl, sport coat, jacket or the like, and stow it quickly when it is not needed without concern of wrinkling the outer covering. This may be advantageous, for example, when a traveler is at an airport awaiting a flight or wishes to stow thegarment 58 safely so that it is not encumbering the traveler while they are seated in an airplane seat. The utilization of separated first 70 and second 72 compartments or anenclosure 76 prevents personal articles falling out of thehousing 12 or having the same be viewable while storing or retrieving thegarment 58 from thegarment bar 46. - With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
- Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
