Abstract
Abstract An adjustable carrying case system which incorporates the use of at least one case being transported and having a handle member secured to an upper surface of the case for use in lifting the entire system by a user. The carrying case system includes at least a pair of transversely displaced opposing planar panels which are formed separate and distinct each from the other. In the operative mode, the case to be transported is inserted between opposing internal surfaces of the planar or panel members. At least one strap or belt member passes in tortuous path through the opposing panel members and interface with the case being carried at an upper surface and a lower surface thereof. The strap members are positionally located at a point to intersect the path of removal of the case being transported. The case is simultaneously releasably captured and supported between the opposing panel members in a transverse direction and between the endless loop strap in a vertical direction.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
An adjustable carrying case system comprising: a. at least one case having a handle member affixed to an upper surface of said case; b. at least a pair of transversely displaced opposing planar members being separate and distinct each from the other, said case being insertable between opposing internal surfaces of said planar members, said opposing planar members including (1) at least a first through passage aligned each to the other adjacent a lower surface of each of said planar members, (2) at least a second transversely directed through passage formed at a vertical intermediate location of said planar members, (3) at least a third through opening formed adjacent an upper surface of said planar members; and, c. means for simultaneously releasably capturing and supporting said case between said opposing planar members and said capturing and supporting means, said capturing and supporting means passing through each of said passages and said opening.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
An adjustable carrying case system comprising: a. at least one case having a handle member affixed to an upper surface of said case; b. at least a pair of transversely displaced opposing planar members being separate and distinct each from the other, said case being insertable between opposing internal surfaces of said planar members, said opposing planar members including (1) at least a first through passage aligned each to the other adjacent a lower surface of each of said planar members, (2) at least a second transversely directed through passage formed at a vertical intermediate location of said planar members, (3) at least a third through opening formed adjacent an upper surface of said planar members; and, c. means for simultaneously releasably capturing and supporting said case between said opposing planar members and said capturing and supporting means, said capturing and supporting means passing through each of said passages and said opening.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The adjustable carrying case as recited in claim 1 where said capturing and supporting means includes belt means passing through said first, second and third through passages in an endless loop.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The adjustable carrying case as recited in claim 2 where said belt means includes buckle means for securing said belt means in a tensioned manner.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The adjustable carrying case as recited in claim 2 where said belt means includes a transversely directed portion passing through said first through passages for supporting said case in said vertical direction.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
56 words
The adjustable carrying case as recited in claim 2 where said belt means includes a vertically directed portion passing (1) contiguous an external surface of each of said planar members between said first and second through passages and, (2) contiguous an internal surface of each of said planar members between said second and third through passages.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
The adjustable carrying case as recited in claim 2 where said belt means is adapted to pass in said transverse direction over an upper surface of each of said planar members.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
The adjustable carrying case as recited in claim 1 including at least one intermediate planar member insertable between said pair of transversely displaced opposing planar members for compartmentalizing said carrying case for insert of a plurality of said cases.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
49 words
The adjustable carrying case as recited in claim 7 where said intermediate planar member includes at least one intermediate through passage alignable with a first through passage formed in said pair of planar members adjacent a lower surface thereof and adapted for insert of said capturing and support means.
