Rigid frame garment bag

Abstract

A rigid frame garment bag travel case combination is formed in a rectilinear shaped case having opposed openable main compartments which share a common side. Each compartment is bounded by a partial rigid U-shaped frame. Between the openable compartments is a common wall provided with a separate planar frame which protects garments, especially suits or dresses, which may be hung from one compartment across the common side and into the other main compartment and secured by crossing straps. A small fold-out fabric panel attached to the lower edge of a lower main compartment is capable of holding dresses which are longer than both compartments. A larger fold-out panel is attached to one side of both main compartments and has a number of pockets for soft garments. The larger panel is folded over the openable compartments and the smaller panel. It is secured along its edge with a zipper. An additional external compartment is attached to one external side face and an additional second compartment is attached to the opposite external side face. The additional compartment includes exposed wheels and an extendable handle to permit rolling the closed case without lifting and has considerable space within. Multiple accessible pockets are provided for soft garments without opening the case. The rigid frame bag may be hung like a garment bag for loading and unloading of suits and dresses without dumping the soft garments contained in the multitude of pockets.
