such as stitching or bonding together the first and second textile bodies 170 175 may define substantially the entire outer surface 135 of the side panel 130 a portions of the edges of the first and second textile bodies 170 175 may also collectively define the perimeter edge 140 of the side panel 130 a the inner surface 165 of the panel may be formed using a lining material 220 this lining material 220 may be a textile material that is fairly light and smooth to give a pleasing interior texture and finished look to the luggage case 100 the lining material 220 is not necessary from a structural standpoint thus the lining material 220 may be omitted if desired in such embodiments the first and second textile bodies 170 175 may define the inner surface 165 of the side panel 130 a once constructed the lifting force from the handle grip i e the central or grip portion 180 of the first textile body 170 may transferred by way of the first and second portions 185 190 of the first textile body 170 to the perimeter edge 140 of the side panel 130 a in particular the lifting force may result in horizontal and vertical forces being imposed on the perimeter edge 140 of the side panel 130 a the horizontal forces may generally result in compressive forces applied along the longitudinal axes of the hoop 155 the vertical forces may generally result in the rest of the luggage case and its contents hanging from the hoop 155 thus the hoop 155 helps to minimize the distortion of the side panel 130 a with the integrated carry handle 145 a this in turn helps to maintain the.
