Existing luggage falls short of the changing demands and environment of airline travel. Carry-on luggage has become harder and more complex with heightened regulations while the concern of mishandled baggage pushes in the direction of carrying on rather than checking in luggage. Millions of bags are lost or mishandled annually. In addition to the risk of lost or stolen baggage, checking luggage is expensive and time consuming.
- Present in the art, are some carrying cases, which provide the usual features such as computer storage, retractable handle, and wheels so that the user can pull case to ease the burden when moving through airport concourses or along city sidewalks (See e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,813,520. The most commonly available luggage has wheels, an extendable handle and a compartment specifically designated for carrying a portable computer. Traveling with luggage in-hand eliminates many of the risks and costs associated with checking baggage. Unfortunately, carry-on luggage is not made with a traveler's specific needs in mind and is often an inefficient combination of various luggage solutions each designed to meet only a few. In view of the foregoing background, an object of the present invention is to provide a wheeled luggage assembly having distinct features and attributes strategically designed to meet the unique demands and carry-on needs of the traveling professional. The present invention provides

Upon activation (e.g. receipt of a call, txt or email), the device will actuate and alert a user. Alert means include vibration of the extendable handle, emitting an audible sound, or a flashing light on the bag/handle.
- Referring to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , the extendable handle has a length dimension which may be of various lengths to accommodate users of various heights and/or preference and/or may be customized according to the user's specification. As shown inFIG. 5 the extendable handle may include one ormore grooves 200 to which accessory or other items may be hung via coupling to the grooves, such as for example, clothing hangers, baggage clips, strap mechanisms, and the like). Additionally, the foldable tray may include compartments orpockets 202 allowing for storage of desired items. The wheeled luggage assembly may also include one or more accessory such as, for example, a cup holder, a latchable hook or built-in clip from which additional luggage can be attached to the assembly. A wheeled luggage assembly of the present invention may also include a cooler section comprised of insulating materials. - In a further aspect, the invention includes a remote tracking device allowing reliable location and if desired, time and/or other identifying information of the wheeled luggage assembly. Methods for providing such system include, for example, a Global Positioning System (GPS), radio-frequency identification (RFID), Compass navigation system, and/or other wireless identification system. The afore-mentioned methods are synced through the use of a portable mobile device, such a mobile phone, using a downloadable software application program such as for example, applications suitable for use with cellular mobile phones, smartphones, personal digital assistant, tablets, personal computers, and other internet multimedia-enabled device.
