Abstract:
A piece of hand luggage having a frame including chamber means for carrying a jacket in a draped, unfolded mode, and a handle mounted on the frame so as to be engaged by a hand of a person carrying the luggage in such a manner as to permit the person to carry the frame with an arm associated with the hand engaging the handle disposed extending substantially vertically downwardly. The frame is formed from a pair of enclosure portions, the upper area of each of which is provided with a pair of substantially coplanar ledges jutting toward one another from associated side walls which are spaced when the two enclosure portions are in a position abutting one another along mating surfaces so as to provide a well in which the handle is disposed. The two enclosure portions are hingedly connected to one another along one end thereof so as to permit opening and closing of the frame, while the sections of the enclosure portions which extend above the ledges thereof are provided with access openings selectively blocked by zippered flaps so as to permit access into the chamber of the frame while the two enclosure portions are in juxtaposition with one another.
