Luggage connecting assembly

A luggage connector assembly method of coupling more than one luggage member together for ease of transport, the method comprising the steps of:

• slidably coupling one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies to a first portable case assembly, the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies having a distal end portion, a middle portion, and a proximal end portion, the middle portion narrower than the distal end portion and the proximal end portion;
• coupling one or more C-shaped latch assemblies with an upper portion and a lower portion to at least one second portable case assembly by slidably inserting the proximal end portion of the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies when the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies are in an extended position;
• restricting the sideways movement of the proximal end portion of the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies via a substantially rigid arch assembly disposed within the lower portion of the one or more C-shaped latch assemblies;
• coupling at least one slotted rail pair assembly to the first portable case assembly with the at least one slotted rail pair assembly having a right side portion and a left side portion, the at least one slotted rail pair assembly further having a proximal face and a distal face;
• and
• restricting the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies from sideways movement while permitting longitudinal movement of the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies via a gap separating the right side portion and the left side portion of the at least one slotted rail pair through which the middle portion of the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies extends, the gap narrower than the width of the distal end portion and the proximal end portion of the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies.

A luggage connector assembly for ease of transport of various luggage members comprising:

• one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies slidably coupled to each of a first portable case assembly, a second portable case assembly, and a third portable case assembly, the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies having a distal end portion, a middle portion, and a proximal end portion, the middle portion narrower than the distal end portion and the proximal end portion;
• one or more C-shaped latch assemblies with an upper portion and a lower portion disposed on each of the first portable case assembly, the second portable case assembly, and the third portable case assembly to at least one or more of the first portable case assembly, the second portable case assembly, and the third portable case assembly and adapted to slidably receive the proximal end portion of the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies when the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies are in an extended position;
• a substantially rigid arch assembly disposed within the lower portion of the one or more C-shaped latch assemblies adapted to restrain the sideways movement of the proximal end portion of the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies;
• at least one slotted rail pair assembly coupled to each the first portable case assembly, the second portable case assembly, and the third portable case assembly, with the at least one slotted rail pair assembly having a right side portion and a left side portion, the at least one slotted rail pair assembly on each the first portable case assembly, the second portable case assembly, and the third portable case assembly further having a proximal face and a distal face;
• and
• a gap separating the right side portion and the left side portion of the at least one slotted rail pair each the first portable case assembly, the second portable case assembly, and the third portable case assembly through which the middle portion of the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies are disposed, the gap narrower than the width of the distal end portion and the proximal end portion of the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies and adapted to restrain the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies from sideways movement while permitting longitudinal movement of the one or more telescopically retractable knob assemblies.
