Abstract
Personal luggage specific for camera equipment, sometimes known as camera bags, have been designed to permit ready access to the equipment, yet secure that equipment for transport. Such bags have been bulky and uncomfortable, and the conflicting goals of securing the equipment but providing ready access have resulted in a number of design compromises. Accordingly, the camera bag 1 includes an upper portion which has a handle facet 60 which carries handle 62 adjacent a relatively angled lid portion 10. The handle facet is adjacent to a body side panel 20, which normally is tangent to the body of the user of the bag. The lid 10 is operated to hinge around the upper edge of the front panel 40 of the bag. This permits a lid pocket 90 to be deployed simultaneously with the opening and pivoting of the lid 10. When the lid 10 is in the open position, the main packing compartment and a substantial accessory compartment 90 are presented to the user. While the lid is in the closed condition, substantially all of the packing compartments are secured readily by operation of the zipper slider 13.
