  • the fixed protuberance 90 and the distal end 82 of the engagement member 42 are disposed generally across from one another to define an access opening or entrance 94 to the arcuate receiving region 92 of the engagement member 42.
  • the access opening 94 is normally open to allow the passage of the handle 76 of the luggage 78.
  • the fixed protuberance 90 is illustrated as extending from the linear portion 86 with a smoothed radius 96. This curvature can be beneficial for capturing the handle 76 of the luggage 78 within the engagement member 42 and preventing easy escape of the handle 76 through the access opening 94. Since the engagement member 42 is of a resilient material, the distance between the fixed protuberance 90 and the distal end 82 may be varied. Further, the curvature of the protuberance 90 can cooperate with the arcuate receiving region 92 to allow limited rotation of the handle 76 within the engagement member 42. This allows the luggage 78 to be pulled at an angle that is comfortable to the wearer 24.
