DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 15, a bag combination allows a person to attach a first bag or piece of luggage to a second bag or piece of luggage using a three-sided zipper combination. In one exemplary embodiment, the bag combination comprises a first bag, a second bag and a slider. In one embodiment, the first bag comprises a first strip of fabric tape carrying teeth. The first strip of fabric tape may be attached to the front of the first bag. The first strip of fabric tape forms a first, second and third side. In another exemplary embodiment, the second bag comprises a second strip of fabric tape carrying teeth. The second strip may be attached to the outside rear edge of the second bag. In one embodiment, the second strip of fabric tape is complementary to the first strip of fabric tape allowing attachment of the first strip of fabric tape to the second strip of fabric tape, thus connecting the first and second bag. The first and second strips of fabric tape form a zipper. The second strip of fabric tape forms a first, second and third side around the rear perimeter of the second bag.

In one embodiment, the bag combination comprises a slider attached to either the first strip of fabric tape or the second strip of fabric tape. The slider is configured to connect the first, second and third sides of the first strip of fabric tape of a first bag to the first, second and third sides of the second strip of fabric tape of a second bag.

The bag combination allows the attachment of two bags which may then function, be used as or transported as, one bag. The bag combination with three-sided zipper combination allows two bags to function as one bag.

In one exemplary embodiment, the zipper may be a #10 zipper size but any other zipper size may be used as needed as desired by one skilled in the art. The bag combination comprises two strips of fabric tape carrying teeth. One strip of fabric tape is attached to a first bag and forms a first, second and third side. The second strip of fabric tape is attached to a second bag and forms a first, second and third side. A slider of a zipper is attached to one strip of fabric tape. The three-sided zipper combination may be used to attach any two bags. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, in one embodiment, the bag combination comprises a first bag which is a backpack, and a second bag which is a small sleeve or pouch. Referring to FIGS. 8 to 15, in another embodiment, the bag combination comprises a first bag which is a laptop computer sleeve and a second bag which is small sleeve or pouch.

A method of using a bag combination with a three-sided zipper combination is also disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: a) obtaining a bag combination comprising a first bag having a first strip of fabric tape carrying teeth, wherein the first strip is attached to the front of the first bag, wherein the first strip of fabric tape forms a first, second and third side; a second bag having a second strip of fabric tape carrying teeth attached to the outside rear of the second bag, wherein the second strip of fabric tape is complementary to the first strip of fabric tape, further wherein the second strip of fabric tape forms a first, second and third side; and a slider attached to either the first strip of fabric tape or second strip of fabric tape, wherein the slider is configured to connect the first strip of fabric tape to the second strip of fabric tape; b) aligning the first and second strips of fabric tape; and c) connecting the first, second and third sides of the first and second strips of fabric tape using the slider.

The foregoing disclosure has been set forth merely to illustrate the invention and is not intended to be limiting. Since modifications of the disclosed embodiments incorporating the spirit and substance of the invention may occur to persons skilled in the art, the invention should be construed to include everything within the scope of the disclosed invention and equivalents thereof.
