Abstract
A travel case with removable inserts, the case having opposed sides joined along one edge to form a base and the opposed sides defining an edge opposed to the base with a closure mechanism cooperatively positioned along the opposing edge and defining an interior volume. A plurality of rings fixedly attached to and spaced along the base within the interior volume. Each ring has an open orientation in which at least one end is separated to form an opening in the ring and a closed orientation in which the ring forms a continuous closed mounting element. An insert includes at least one pocket and has an attachment edge with a plurality of apertures defined adjacent the attachment edge. The apertures are spaced apart a distance so as to substantially align an aperture with each ring.

A travel case with removable inserts comprising:
- a travel case having opposed sides joined along one edge to form a base, the opposed sides defining an edge opposed to the base, and a closure mechanism cooperatively positioned along the opposing edge of the opposed sides to define an interior volume between the opposed sides with the closure mechanism in a closed orientation;
- a plurality of rings fixedly attached to and spaced along the base within the interior volume, each ring having an open orientation in which at least one end is separated to form an opening in the ring and a closed orientation in which the ring forms a continuous closed mounting element;
- and
- an insert including at least one pocket and having an attachment edge with a plurality of apertures defined adjacent the attachment edge, the plurality of apertures being spaced apart a distance so as to substantially align a different aperture of the plurality of apertures with each ring of the plurality of rings.
A travel case with removable inserts comprising:
- a travel case having opposed sides joined along one edge to form a base, the opposed sides defining an edge opposed to the base, and a closure mechanism cooperatively positioned along the opposing edge of the opposed sides to define an interior volume between the opposed sides with the closure mechanism in a closed orientation;
- a spine affixed to the base within the interior volume with a plurality of rings fixedly attached to and spaced along the spine, each ring having an open orientation in which at least one end is separated from the spine and a closed orientation in which the ring forms a continuous closed mounting element, and including an operating mechanism carried by the spine, the operating mechanism being constructed to permit the plurality of rings to be moved between and held in either of the open or the closed orientations;
- and
- an insert including at least one pocket and having an attachment edge with a plurality of apertures defined adjacent the attachment edge, the plurality of apertures being spaced apart a distance so as to substantially align a different aperture of the plurality of apertures with each ring of the plurality of rings.
