Convertible Bed and Suitcase Apparatus

Abstract

A convertible bed and suitcase apparatus includes a first enclosure and a second enclosure, each surrounding respective first and second partial cavities; wherein each of the first and second enclosures are joined at respective proximal ends; a raised perimeter lip extending along the distal end and the first and second sides; the first and second enclosures being selectively operable between an open configuration and a closed configuration; first and second exterior fasteners each including a first exterior attachment member for securing the first and second enclosures in the closed configuration; and the first enclosure including first and second interior fasteners for securing the first and second enclosures in the open configuration.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A convertible bed and suitcase apparatus comprising:
 a first enclosure and a second enclosure, each of the first and second enclosures including a distal end, a proximal end, a floor, and opposing first and second sides extending between the distal and proximal ends and surrounding respective first and second partial cavities; wherein each of the first and second enclosures are joined at respective proximal ends; a raised perimeter lip extending along the distal end and the first and second sides;   the first and second enclosures being selectively operable between an open configuration and a closed configuration;   first and second exterior fasteners each including a first exterior attachment member; the first and second sides each including a second exterior attachment member; each of the first exterior attachment members being structured and disposed for selective attachment with respective second exterior attachment members when the first and second enclosures are in the closed configuration for securing the first and second enclosures in the closed configuration; and   the first enclosure including first and second interior fasteners; each of the first and second interior fasteners including a first interior attachment member; the second enclosure including a second interior attachment member; each of the first interior attachment members being structured and disposed for selective attachment with a respective one of the second interior attachment members when the first and second enclosures are in the open configuration for securing the first and second enclosures in the open configuration.   
     
     
         2 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 1  wherein the first and second exterior attachment members are hook and loop attachment members. 
     
     
         3 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 1  wherein the first and second interior attachment members are hook and loop attachment members. 
     
     
         4 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 1  further comprising a mattress that is sized and configured for receipt within the first and second partial cavities. 
     
     
         5 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 1  further comprising a handle at the distal end of the first enclosure. 
     
     
         6 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 1  further comprising a handle at the distal end of the second enclosure. 
     
     
         7 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 1  further comprising a first handle member at the distal end of the first enclosure and a second handle member the distal end of the second enclosure; and a handle wrap member structured and disposed for securing the first and second handle members together. 
     
     
         8 . A convertible bed and suitcase apparatus comprising:
 a first enclosure and a second enclosure, each of the first and second enclosures including a distal end, a proximal end, a floor, and opposing first and second sides extending between the distal and proximal ends and surrounding respective first and second partial cavities; wherein each of the first and second enclosures are joined at respective proximal ends; a raised perimeter lip extending along the distal end and the first and second sides;   a mattress that is sized and configured for receipt within the first and second partial cavities;   the first and second enclosures being selectively operable between an open configuration and a closed configuration;   first and second exterior fasteners each including a first exterior attachment member; the first and second sides each including a second exterior attachment member; each of the first exterior attachment members being structured and disposed for selective attachment with respective second exterior attachment members when the first and second enclosures are in the closed configuration for securing the first and second enclosures in the closed configuration; and   the first enclosure including first and second interior fasteners; each of the first and second interior fasteners including a first interior attachment member; the second enclosure including a second interior attachment member; each of the first interior attachment members being structured and disposed for selective attachment with a respective one of the second interior attachment members when the first and second enclosures are in the open configuration for securing the first and second enclosures in the open configuration.   
     
     
         9 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 8  wherein the first and second exterior attachment members are hook and loop attachment members. 
     
     
         10 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 8  wherein the first and second interior attachment members are hook and loop attachment members. 
     
     
         11 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 8  wherein the mattress is selectively removable. 
     
     
         12 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 8  wherein the mattress is integrally formed with the first and second enclosures. 
     
     
         13 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 8  further comprising a handle at the distal end of the first enclosure. 
     
     
         14 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 8  further comprising a handle at the distal end of the second enclosure. 
     
     
         15 . The convertible bed and suitcase apparatus as recited in  claim 8  further comprising a first handle member at the distal end of the first enclosure and a second handle member the distal end of the second enclosure; and a handle wrap member structured and disposed for securing the first and second handle members together.
