Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for attaching auxiliary items of luggage to a main luggage case, especially a wheeled main luggage case. The apparatus consists in part of a strap which ordinarily accompanies the auxiliary luggage item. The strap, which consists in part of two belts that may be moved past each other to adjust the length of the strap, is attached to the main luggage case at dual separate points in order to improve the stability of the attachment of the auxiliary item to the main luggage case. The strap may be disengaged from the main luggage case and used as a shoulder strap solely in conjunction with the auxiliary item to carry the auxiliary item over the user's shoulder.
