The disclosure is directed to a combination carrying case and racket carrier useful particularly for carrying the clothing and equipment for racket sports, such as tennis, squash, badminton, etc. The combined article includes a racket case which is separate from but secured permanently to a bag-like section utilized in carrying clothing and other equipment related to the particular racket sport. As a unique feature, the racket case is proportioned to receive closely the head portion of the racket, permitting the handle to be exposed, and it includes a novel closure arrangement which enables the outwardly projecting racket handle to be oriented in any of several desired positions relative to the carrying facilities of the combined bag. Typically, the angular orientation of the racket handle may vary over a range of around 90°. In conjunction with the adjustable orientation feature for the racket handle, the carrying bag incorporates multiple carrying features, including a conventional handle grip, a strap for over the shoulder carrying, and facilities enabling the strap to be utilized to form a back pack. The adjustable racket orientation enables these various carrying modes to be utilized conveniently and with optimum comfort. In addition, the adjustable orientation facilitates carrying of the loaded bag in close quarters (e.g., elevators, subways, etc.) and enables the bag load to be symmetrically distributed, so that a bag of small, narrow configuration can nevertheless be self standing.
