| abstract |
A soft-walled garment bag has rigid means, e.g., a central, internal post or column, interconnecting its upper and lower ends. The lower end comprises a rigid platform borne on a tandem pair of wheels that are steerable by manipulation of the upper end of the structure, e.g., via a handle fixed to the upper end of the column or post. A clothing hanger or hangers are detachably connectable to the rigid means to carry a suit or coat or the like about which the garment bag is closely fitted. The cover sheets of the garment bag are peripherally secured to the lower end of the platform and one side of the bag incorporates a carrying strap for suspending the piece of luggage under an arm from one hand in an erect position against one side of the body of the user for transportation over stairs, or in other such situations which inhibit wheel supported movement of the luggage. |
