Abstract
Abstract A baggage set comprises in combination, a plurality of substantially parallelpipedic case elements of different sizes, at least one prismatic sloping case element, and at least one stepped case element having a side configured to present a stepped profile. The combination, when stacked in a predetermined manner, permits the baggage set to fill a volume dimensioned to substantially match that of a storage compartment of a particular vehicle.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A baggage set comprising, in combination, a plurality of substantially parallelepipedic case elements of different sizes which, when said cases are placed side-by-side with a wall of each in planar alignment, present, at another side, a stepped profile, at least one prismatic sloping case element, and at least one stepped case element having a side with a plurality of steps, wherein the steps of the stepped case element are dimensionally coordinated to the the stepped profile of the parallelepipedic cases so as to fit thereagainst in a stacked arrangement, and wherein a side of the sloping case is dimensioned for fitting against a side of the stacked arrangement in a predetermined manner causing the baggage set, as a whole, to fill a volume dimensioned to substantially match that of a storage compartment of a particular vehicle.
