Abstract
Abstract In a preferred embodiment, an attache-type case is transported within a luggage-harness and attached shoulder strap, the luggage harness being straps enveloping sides and bottom of the attache-type case, the luggage-harness including a horizontal circumscribing strap having a detachably-fastened latch at one side thereof for easy access thereinto, and the luggage-harness including a bottom strap for supporting the under-edge of the case and continuing uprightly at each of opposite ends thereof and crossing and interconnecting with the circumscribing strap at spaced-apart points adapted to place the center of gravity centrally of the length of the bottom strap, with the circumscribing strap and the upright ends being adjustably interconnected for horizontal adjustment at one end and for vertical adjustment at the opposite end such that depth and breadth-length of the case-carrying space are variably adjustable, the horizontal circumscribing strap being at a height avoiding tilting and avoiding slipping-over the top of the case.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
303 words
A luggage-harness device comprising in combination: an elongated shoulder strap means for carrying a luggage harness; two latching means each for securing spaced-apart positions of a baggage harness to opposite ends of the shoulder strap means; and a harness means for enveloping sides and a bottom of a cuboid-shaped hand luggage, consisting of a horizontal circumscribing cord and a detachable fastening means for intermittently fastening together opposite ends of the horizontal circumscribing cord, the harness means further consisting of a bottom cord including opposite vertical ends adapted to support opposite ends of a cuboid-shaped hand luggage and a horizontal bottom section in series with and intermediate between and continuous with said opposite vertical ends, the horizontal bottom section being adapted to support and to extend along a longitudinal axis of a bottom of a cuboid-shaped hand luggage, each of said opposite vertical ends extending upwardly to and above an immovable connection means which adjustably fastens each said opposite vertical ends between the horizontal circumscribing cord at each of opposite spaced-apart ends of the horizontal circumscribing cord by which the horizontal circumscribing cord is anchored against slipping upwardly and over a top of a cuboid-shaped hand luggage when carried within the horizontal circumscribing cord but which the horizontal circumscribing cord may selectively be adjusted horizontally or vertically by the connection means, with a center of gravity of the harness means substantially equally-spaced between said opposite spaced-apart ends and with each said immovable connection means being at an elevation point with a center of gravity below the horizontal-circumscribing cord for and when a cuboid-shaped hand luggage is mounted therein whereby accidental tipping thereof is deterred and whereby steady-carriage thereof is maintained during the transporting of a cuboid-shaped hand luggage within the harness means when the elongated shoulder strap means is supported on a person's shoulder.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
A luggage-harness device of claim 1, in which each of said opposite vertical ends extends a predetermined distance above each said immovable connection means sufficiently for a central upper edge of a supported cuboid-shaped hand luggage having an upper luggage edge above said horizontal circumscribing cord to have free access an upper-edge handle of a cuboid-shaped hand luggage carried within said harness means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
A luggage-harness device of claim 2, in which each of said opposite vertical ends are of predetermined lengths sufficiently long such that said latching means is normally positioned adequately above an upper edge of a supported hand luggage as to avoid scarring of an upper edge of supported hand luggage.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
90 words
A luggage-harness device of claim 2, in which said two latching means attach upper ends of the opposite vertical ends to said elongated shoulder strap means at opposite spaced-apart ends of the elongated shoulder strap means, and in which said two latching means each are attached to the opposite vertical ends at said predetermined distance above each said immovable connection means whereby the latching means are normally positioned adequately above an upper edge of a supported cuboid-shaped hand luggage as to avoid scarring of an upper edge of the luggage.
