Abstract:

A universally fitting, removable padded wraparound luggage handle cover includes a substantially square and planar interior sheet of a cushioning, preferably foam-like material. About the cushioning material is peripherally secured a top and a bottom sheet of a flexible high woven fabric. To the top sheet of the fabric is secured an elongate strip of hook-and-loop material having a width in a range of about 1 to about 3. 5 centimeters and secured to the top sheet along one entire edge thereof. A second or bottom strip of hook-and-loop material, generally complemental in width to the top strip, is secured to the bottom sheet of fabric along an edge opposite to the edge at which the top strip, is secured and in which the respective fabric edges define a distance therebetween in a range of about 12 to about 17 centimeters. The bottom sheet of fabric is preferably provided with a transparent envelope having one free edge into which may be inserted owner identification or other information. The thickness of the inventive removable wraparound handle cover is at its maximum when the hook-and-loop strips are secured to each other so that the entire handle cover assumes the geometry of an annular solid ellipsoid.
