Patent attributes
An apparatus for transporting clothing comprising a wheeled suitcase and a detachable garment bag. The garment bag is adapted to wrap around outside panels of the suitcase and is held snuggly against the suitcase by a fastener system including connectively interlocking clips or the like. Auxiliary hook and loop strips ensure that the garment bag is securely held on the suitcase. The wheeled suitcase, in its generally upright position, includes an upper end and lower end. The upper end has an opening free of the wrapped garment bag affording ready access. Corners of the suitcase are rounded to facilitate gentle wrapping such that clothing within the garment bag is not subject to folding or wrinkling. The suitcase is slightly smaller than the size limited by airline regulations for carry-on luggage. Thus, when wrapped with the unique garment bag, the combined suitcase and garment bag will not exceed regulations.
