Abstract
A luggage case is provided with the appearance of a soft sided luggage case; but with superior strength afforded by two opposed interior concave inner shells of molded plastic structural material, pivotally mounted for opening and closing. The luggage case is sufficiently strong to carry tools and other equipment used to clean business machines. Outer coverings of decorative vinyl or the like are joined as by stitching to the inner shells proximate the peripheries of the inner shells and are free to flex and to be displaced relative to the inner shells to provide a soft outer appearance and feel. Preferably, a tough vinyl beading is secured around the peripheral corners of the luggage case to prevent abrasion of the decorative vinyl coverings.
