Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to travel luggage that
includes an inflatable air mattress for reclining and sleeping.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] Many travelers use airlines to travel to various
destinations for vacation and business purposes. Many of the
passengers on the commercial airlines must schedule flights
throughout the United States and around the world based on the set
schedules provided by commercial airlines. As is known, a typical
commercial airline may seat 200 or 300 passengers and will be
subject to scheduling at various hubs throughout the world. Many of
the busiest airports land and depart planes for various
destinations. One drawback to air travel is uncertain weather
conditions and therefore in inclement conditions air travel may be
delayed. Commercial airlines schedule flights between hubs and
consequently use a single airplane for travel routes throughout the
country and various locations in the world. When inclement weather
happens passengers who may be waiting for an incoming airplane may
be subject to a delay. Further delays may involve mechanical
problems with particular airplanes and therefore further delays may
occur.
[0005] Passengers and travelers are subject to the various delays
that may be encountered during their travel. Many passengers must
make connecting flights and therefore will be subject to delays
upon connections if inclement weather occurs or mechanical problems
occur with the airplane. On occasion, passengers sometimes must
spend several hours in the airport due to delays. As can be seen
during the holiday rush, several times passengers must sleep at the
airport and they typically can be seen sleeping on the floor or in
the chairs provided in the airport. Further passengers typically
have carry-on baggage handling baggage that they may carry onto
their flight while experiencing their delay. Consequently it would
be advantageous to have a convenient means to recline in a
comfortable position during an extended layover at an airport.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The present invention relates to a travel luggage bag that
includes an air mattress. The main components of the present
invention includes a first compartment, where the first compartment
includes an inflatable air mattress; a second compartment, where
second compartment, includes a means to inflate the air mattress;
and a divider, where said divider separates the first compartment
and second compartment. In one particular embodiment, the means to
inflate includes an air motor and an air hose. The air hose
connects to the air mattress and enables the transfer of air into
the mattress for inflation thereof. The air mattress may include an
air valve, where the air valve provides a mechanism to release air
from the air mattress. The travel luggage bag may also include a
releasable first side, where the first side provides access to the
air mattress for inflation thereof. The air motor may be battery
operated and rechargeable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] The present invention relates to a travel luggage with an
air mattress extendable therefrom. The present invention provides
travel luggage that includes two compartments. One compartment is
provided for the placement of clothing, toiletries and other travel
accessories and a second compartment is provided where an
inflatable mattress is stored. The present invention allows for the
extension of an inflatable mattress out of one side of the luggage.
The mattress may be inflated through the use of an air motor as
provided within the luggage. The air motor may be battery operated
and easily rechargeable as needed by the user. This luggage along
with the air mattress provides a means for a stranded traveler to
create a mattress to recline thereon during an extended layover at
an airport.
[0014] In reference to FIG. 1, a perspective view of a Travel
Luggage 100 is depicted. The travel luggage 100 includes a Main
Body 50 with a First Side 52. As shown in FIG. 1, the First Side 52
opens and allows the extension of a Mattress 30 for use by the
user. The Mattress 30 extends from a First Compartment 53, as shown
in FIG. 2 of the Luggage 50. In addition to the First Compartment
53, the Luggage 50 also includes a Second Compartment 51 also shown
in FIG. 2. When in a closed position the Luggage 50 is similar to
any other respective travel luggage that is used on the market.
Travel Luggage 50 according to the present invention includes two
compartments, one for storing clothing and other travel accessories
in Second Compartment 51 and the First Compartment 53 for the
storage of an inflatable air mattress.
[0015] FIG. 3 depicts a sectional view of the Luggage 50 in
accordance with the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3 Air
Mattress 30 is stored within the First Compartment 53 of the
Luggage 50. The First Side 52 is releasable and enables the
deployment of the Air Mattress 30 for inflation. An Air Motor 40 is
also depicted in FIG. 3. The Air Motor 40 resides within a small
portion of the Second Compartment 51. This Air Motor 40 provides
the means for the inflation and deflation of the Air Mattress 30
upon deployment. In another exemplary embodiment of the present
invention, a yoga mat, exercise mat, sleeping bag or sleeping mat
may be stored in the First Compartment 53 for access by the
user.
[0016] FIG. 4 depicts a first embodiment of the Luggage 50 in
accordance with the present invention. FIG. 4 depicts the Air
Mattress 30 in an inflated position where the First Side 52 is
released for the deployment of the Air Mattress 30. The Air
Mattress 30 further includes an Air Valve 33. The Air Motor 40 is a
battery operated device and includes an on and off switch that is
accessible by the user to provide the means for the inflation of
the Air Mattress 30. An Air
[0017] Hose 34 is connected to the Mattress 30 as shown in FIG. 4.
In this particular embodiment, the Air Motor 40 is deployed within
the Second Compartment 51 of the Luggage 50. This arrangement
allows for the connection of the Air Hose 34 through a Divider 57
that divides the First Compartment and the Second Compartment of
the Luggage 50. The Luggage 50 may also include a means to support
the Luggage 50 in a vertical position. As shown in FIG. 4, a Brace
56 is shown to provide the means to support. The Brace 56 extends
from the Second Compartment 51 as shown and includes a Foot Pad 58.
The Brace 56 and Foot Pad 58 may be used by the user to support the
Luggage 50.
[0018] In reference to FIG. 5, an alternative arrangement for the
present invention is depicted. In this second embodiment depicted
in FIG. 5, the Air Motor 40 is shown stored within the First
Compartment 53 along with the Air Mattress 30. Therefore although
the Air Mattress 30 is shown in an inflated position in FIG. 5 it
may be deflated and place within the First Compartment 53 along
with the Air Motor 40 for storage. This arrangement allows for the
use of more space within the Second Compartment 51 for the storage
of travel items.
[0019] The present invention provides a means for a weary traveler
to inflate a mattress and to enjoy a comfortable air mattress to
recline on during an extended layover at an airport. The present
invention helps to solve the problem of comfort for the traveler
during these extended layovers that happen frequently during
travel. The Air Motor 40 provides a means to both inflate and
deflate the Air Mattress 30. The Air Valve 33 may be opened to
allow for the deflation of the Air Mattress 30 once the user
completes use thereof. This dual feature luggage according to
further invention provides travel options during travel and also
serves the purpose of storing the necessary luggage for the
travelers' endeavors. The instant invention has been shown and
described in what it considers to be the most practical and
preferred embodiments. It is recognized, however, that departures
may be made there from within the scope of the invention and that
obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the
art.
