Abstract

A bracket assembly for mounting to a piece of expandable luggage has a base, first and second sliding members, and a lever. The base has slots, and a plurality of recesses are located between the slots and have a substantially flat sidewall. When the lever is in a locked position, a coupling portion is positioned at least partially within one of the recesses, and the notch engages the sidewall preventing the lever and sliding members from moving parallel with the slot. When the lever is in an unlocked position, stopping pegs prevent the lever from rotating more than 180 degrees relative to the locked position, and the lever and sliding members are free to move relative to the base and translationally parallel with the slots. The lever and sliding members are moveable to and from a plurality of expansion positions.

Background technique [0002] A traveler's need for luggage space varies significantly depending on the duration of the trip, the characteristics of the trip with respect to the type of dress and other desired styles, and the climate of the destination. For example, travelers do not require the same amount of luggage space for short-term trips as they do for long-term trips, regardless of purpose and climate. Often, business travelers don't need the same amount of luggage space as leisure travelers, especially those who require both casual and formal attire. [0003] One way to satisfy travelers' need for smaller and larger luggage space is to have a medium sized suitcase for some trips and a larger suitcase for other trips. Another way is to have two medium sized suitcases and use only one s...
