Abstract
A magnetic connection system for luggage or other bags. This invention involves a method for manufacturing and using a magnetic locking device system for attaching a bag to a pull-handle or other telescoping tubular device of a wheeled bag. This system allows two bags to easily be secured together, quickly and efficiently while a traveler is on the go. If the traveler wishes to remove the second bag from the wheeled luggage, they merely need to depress the release button on the pull-handle thus removing the magnetic force which connects the two bags together through the connection with the locking pin, the mount and the auxiliary attachment adaptor.
Claims17
A magnetic locking device system for item comprised of:
- one wheeled item with a pull-handle, the pull-handle having an operating button which when depressed allows the handle to retract into the item;
- an auxiliary item mount attached to the pull-handle of the wheeled item;
- one or more auxiliary bags;
- and
- an auxiliary attachment adaptor, sized to connect with the auxiliary item mount, affixed to the surface of the one or more auxiliary bags;
- wherein the auxiliary item attachment adaptor of the auxiliary bag connects to the auxiliary item mount of the wheeled item, and can be released by depressing the operating button on the pull-handle.
A magnetic locking device system, comprising:
- a wheeled bag with a pull-handle configured to retract into the bag and extend out of the bag;
- the pull-handle having a magnetic locking pin and a magnetic locking pin hole wherein the locking pin is controlled by an operating button on the pull-handle;
- an auxiliary item mount positioned on the pull-handle on top of the locking pin hole;
- a second bag having an auxiliary item attachment adaptor connected to at least one surface;
- and
- the auxiliary item mount configured to accept and lock into the auxiliary item attachment adaptor.
A method of magnetically attaching two bags together, including:
- a piece of wheeled luggage with a pull-handle;
- the pull-handle having an operating button which controls a magnetic locking pin;
- a second bag;
- an auxiliary item mount attached to the pull-handle;
- and
- an auxiliary attachment adaptor affixed to one surface of the second bag configured to snap into the auxiliary item mount;
- wherein the user presses the operating button on the pull-handle of the wheeled luggage, the depression of the button causes the retraction controller to draw the magnetic locking pin inside the pull-handle which also causes the locking switch to be drawn inside the auxiliary item mount frame causing the auxiliary item attachment adaptor to be released.
