Pumpkin-shaped travel bag assembly

A bag assembly comprising of any number of detachable and re-attachable, wedge-shaped, independent, bag segments, that when collectively joined together, form a pumpkin-shape. The wedge-shaped, independent bag segments can be joined, at their top ends and their bottom ends, by each attaching to a detachable rings at the top and the bottom.An inner pocket is included within each of the wedge-shaped, independent, bag segments. One or more detachable shoulder or hand straps can be applied and connect at either of the ends of the bag assembly for carrying purposes, or the strap can be attached directly to the bag segment. The detachable rings also serve as quick grab handles. Each of the wedge-shaped, independent bag segments have an exterior access entry.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to luggage, and more particularly to a versatile, personal travel bag assembly.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Historically, travel bags have taken their shape and function from the various transportation methods available for travel. People traveling by caravans or ships could generally rely on porters carrying their personal objects in heavy trunks or chests. Later, traveling by train, airplane or automobile would usher in hand carried suitcases, duffel bags, and backpacks. With an increasing on-the-go type modern society, travel bags are being tasked to accommodate more personal items, which have resulted in some updated features for convenience to the historical carriers.

Trunks and suitcases, can be bulky and heavy and designed in a manner, which creates a cavernous interior compartment, wherein personal items are apt to shift when opening and closing. In order to have some organization in the cavernous open interior compartment, an additional third-party packing organizer would need to be added. The resulting form of the suitcase is generally a hard-sided shape, and it is generally not subject to further compression or the overall shape being scalable.

Duffle bags are limited in organizing ability, and scalability. Backpacks can be complicated in their organizing ability, strapping systems, and offer limited scalability.

There are often times when airplane overhead space is limited, and filled with stiff luggage and there is limited space to store another traditional carrier. The ability to compress or scale the shape of a carrier amongst those conditions is an improvement to the current art. The present invention provides for the ability to compartmentalize belongings among various bag segments, which allows belongings to be packed in bag segments being stored in the overhead space, and having another bag segment specifically packed for belongings that could be accessible during transit without having to access the overhead space. A single bag segment could also be packed so as to use as a personal pillow.

When traveling there may arise the need for a smaller size bag to use instead of carrying the larger, fuller size travel bags know to the art. This invention meets the needs of a larger size bag, while allowing multiple independent detachable and re-attachable small bags.

Although various travel bags are known to the art, all, or almost all of them suffer from one or more than one disadvantages. Therefore, there is a need to provide a personal item travel carrier that can improve on internal compartmental challenges and optimize on form, fit, and function for modern, on-the-go travel needs. The present invention accomplishes these objectives.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention includes detachable and re-attachable, wedge-shaped, independent, bag segments that connect together to form a lightweight, scalable, ease of use, travel bag. Additionally, each of the independent bag segments when detached, form separate travel bags for customized scaling and utility.

The detachable and re-attachable, wedge-shaped, independent, bag segments of the present invention features a convenient access entry and exit opening in which to organize personal belongings. Personal belongings can be compartmentalized into each of the bag segments for easy organization and being able to access an item without disturbing the other packed items.

One or more flexible straps can be employed to carry the travel bag. With attachment points on both ends of the strap, the strap can be configured to carry the fully attached bags or the individual bag segments, over the shoulder or as hand held.

The rings that are attached to each of the travel bag segments, at the top and bottom ends of the travel bag segments, can also be utilized as quick-grab handles.

The present invention is a multi-use, scalable, aesthetically appealing, compact and easily transportable pumpkin-shaped personal travel bag, wherein the independent wedge-shaped bag segments can be easily detached and re-attached. Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
