ABSTRACT:
A pair of rigid supports each have an upper slot and a lower slot. Strap brackets are adjustably mounted in the upper slots and support members are adjustably mounted in the lower slots. Straps extend around luggage and engage the brackets to retain the luggage in place. Stop members depend from the luggage and engage the supports. Spacer means is connected between the supports. Collapsible luggage includes a rigid bottom supporting U-shaped spring wire struts connected to one another by a connecting bar. A cloth shell is stretched over the bottom and the struts. Dividers are provided within the luggage. A rain cover includes overlapping waterproof portions. A one piece molded nose cone has a tapered forward surface to reduce wind resistance and includes a channel in its forward surface for receiving a strap. Flexible straps include a pair of strap portions each having one end connected to a rigid member and the opposite ends of the strap portions are connected to one another by a buckle. The rigid members fit within slots on the supports and are engageable with portions of the supports.
