Patent ID: 8172270

Claim:
An improved system for identifying luggage from a distance, the system comprising: a plurality of mask elements, each mask element comprising a first face and a second face, each face having a common two-dimensional shape removed from a center portion so that the corresponding face surrounds a void outlining the two-dimensional shape, wherein the same shape arranges on both the first and second faces; a plurality of color cards, each color card having a first side and an oppositely disposed second side, each side comprising the same color and pattern, the color card being selectively insertable between the first face and second face of the at least one mask element whereby the combination of the color card and mask element creates unique pairing of color and pattern and two-dimensional shape; and at least one transparent, substantially flat housing comprising a first pocket adapted to selectively slidably receive a first mask element of the plurality of mask elements with a first color card of the plurality of color cards so that the unique pairing of color and pattern and two-dimensional shape is visible from either side of the housing and the housing further comprising a second pocket adapted to selectively slidably receive a second mask element with a second color card so to present a second unique color and pattern and shape combination.
