Abstract

One embodiment includes an extendible handle having a lighting device. The extendible handle is connected to two or more pairs of connected telescoping arms. A pair of base arms is connected to the two or more pairs of connected telescoping arms. A storage container includes one or more rolling elements and is connected to the pair of base arms.

Claims (45)

1. An apparatus comprising:

an extendible handle including a lighting device that is configured to rotate, wherein the extendible handle is coupled to two or more pairs of connected telescoping arms;

a pair of base arms coupled to the two or more pairs of connected telescoping arms; and

a storage container including one or more rolling elements, wherein the storage container is coupled to the pair of base arms, wherein the lighting device comprises:

at least one light source;

a lighting source housing coupled to the light source, wherein the lighting source housing includes a separate upper portion and a separate lower portion that couple to each other forming an opening for coupling around the extendible handle, and the separate lower portion includes a hand grip portion;

a first anchor device coupled to a first end of the lighting source housing; and

a second anchor device coupled to a second end of the lighting source housing, wherein:

the first anchor device and the second anchor device are each coupled to a sleeve that is coupled to the extendible handle;

the lighting source housing rotates around the extendible handle for multi-positional lighting, the at least one light source comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes, the first anchor device and the second anchor device are fixed to the sleeve via compression for friction.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a switch device coupled to the at least one light source.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the lighting source housing is configured to rotate between 0 to 180 degrees.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the lighting source housing is permanently affixed to the handle.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the separate upper portion and the separate lower portion fasten together, and the hand grip portion includes a cushion or rubber portion.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the storage container comprises one of: a sporting bag, a fishing bag, a luggage container, a document holder, a duffle bag, a tool bag, and a camping bag.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the lighting device is one of integrated with the extendible handle or attached to the extendible handle.

8. A rolling storage system comprising:

an extendible handle coupled to two or more pairs of telescoping arms;

a lighting device that is configured to rotate, the lighting device being coupled around the extendible handle;

a pair of base arms coupled to the two or more connected telescoping arms and one or more attaching elements; and

a bag coupled to the one or more attaching elements, the bag including one or more rolling elements, wherein the lighting device comprises:

at least one light source;

a lighting source housing coupled to the light source, wherein the lighting source housing includes a separate upper portion and a separate lower portion that couple to each other forming an opening for coupling around the extendible handle, and the separate lower portion includes a hand grip portion;

a first anchor device coupled to a first end of the lighting source housing; and

a second anchor device coupled to a second end of the lighting source housing, wherein:

the first anchor device and the second anchor device are each coupled to a sleeve that is coupled to the extendible handle;

the lighting source housing rotates around the extendible handle for multi-positional lighting, the at least one light source comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes, the first anchor device and the second anchor device are fixed to the sleeve via compression for friction.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the lighting device comprises:

a switch device coupled to the at least one light source.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the lighting source housing is configured to rotate between 0 to 180 degrees.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the bag comprises one of:

a sporting bag, a fishing bag, luggage, a document bag, a duffle bag, a camping bag, and a tool bag.

12. An apparatus comprising:

an extendible handle coupled to two or more pairs of telescoping arms;

a lighting device that is configured to rotate, the lighting device being coupled around the extendible handle; and

a pair of base arms coupled to the two or more connected telescoping arms and one or more attaching elements that are configured for coupling to a utility bag, wherein the lighting device comprises:

at least one light source; and

a lighting source housing coupled to the light source, wherein the lighting source housing includes a separate upper portion and a separate lower portion that couple to each other forming an opening for coupling around the extendible handle, and the separate lower portion includes a hand grip portion;

a first anchor device coupled to a first end of the lighting source housing; and

a second anchor device coupled to a second end of the lighting source housing, wherein:

the first anchor device and the second anchor device are each coupled to a sleeve that is coupled to the extendible handle;

the lighting source housing rotates around the extendible handle for multi-positional lighting, the at least one light source comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes, the first anchor device and the second anchor device are fixed to the sleeve via compression for friction.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the lighting device comprises:

a switch device coupled to the at least one light source; and

wherein the lighting source housing is configured to rotate-between 0 to 180 degrees, the separate upper portion and the separate lower portion fasten together, and the hand grip portion includes a cushion or rubber portion.
