ABSTRACT:
A pressure tight travel case for airline passengers for use in the unpressurized baggage compartment of an aircraft, comprising a container having side walls and a bottom defining an opening and a cavity; a first partition removably insertable within the cavity, wherein the first partition includes opposing side edges, a top edge and a bottom edge; and a cover matable with the container to close the cavity, the cover including a sealing device for creating a seal between the cover and the container sufficient to prevent pressurized air within the container from leaking through the sealing device during flight. The travel case further includes guiding grooves for guiding the insertion of the first partition into the cavity, and wherein the opposing side edges of the first partition are formed to matably engage the guiding grooves. Optionally, a second partition may be added which is matable with the first partition and the guiding grooves, wherein the second partition includes opposing side edges formed to matably engage the guiding grooves. Preferably, the guiding grooves and the opposing side edges of the first and second partitions are formed to create an interlocking connection sufficient to minimize pressurized expansion of the side walls of the container.
