Abstract

There is provided an apparatus for protecting and securing a case, comprising a cover for partially enclosing the case and a lockable toggle configured to secure said case within said cover. The lockable toggle is capable of switching between a locked position and an unlocked position.

1 . Apparatus for protecting and securing a case, comprising:
 a cover for partially enclosing the case; and   a lockable toggle configured to secure said case within said cover, wherein the lockable toggle is capable of switching between a locked position and an unlocked position.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cover for partially enclosing the case is configured to enable carrying means of the case to remain uncovered. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the cover further comprises a drawstring opening configured to enable the carrying means of the case to remain uncovered. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the drawstring opening comprises a cord configured to be pulled tight around the carrying means of the case. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein, the cover for partially enclosing the case is configured to enable wheels of the case to remain uncovered. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the cover comprises at least two apertures configured to allow the wheels of the case to move freely. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cover is fabricated from a durable material. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the lockable toggle comprises an inner component configured to be inserted within an outer component. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the inner component and outer component are both cylindrical. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the inner component comprises a first hole for inserting a cord and a second hole for attaching a lock, and further wherein the outer component comprises a first hole for inserting a cord and a second hole for attaching a lock. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein said lock is a padlock. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the unlocked position of the lockable toggle is when the inner component is inserted within the outer component and further when the first hole of the inner component aligns with the first hole of the outer component. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the unlocked position of the lockable toggle allows the insertion of a cord. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein said second holes are configured such that when the first hole of the inner component aligns with the first hole of the outer component, the second hole of the inner component is not in alignment with the second hole of the outer component. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein said second holes are configured such that when the first hole of the inner component is not in alignment with the first hole of the outer component, the second hole of the inner component aligns with the second hole of the outer component 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the alignment of the second hole of the inner component with the second hole of the outer component allows attachment of the padlock. 
     
     
         17 . A method of protecting and securing a case, comprising the steps of:
 partially enclosing the case in a cover fabricated from a durable material,   and securing the case within the cover using a lockable toggle, wherein the lockable toggle is capable of switching between a locked position and an unlocked position.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the lockable toggle comprises an inner component configured to be inserted within an outer component. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the inner component comprises a first hole for inserting a cord and a second hole for attaching a lock, and further wherein the outer component comprises a first hole for inserting a cord and a second hole for attaching a lock. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein said second holes are configured such that when the first hole of the inner component aligns with the first hole of the outer component, the second hole of the inner component is not in alignment with the second hole of the outer component.
