Abstract

A bracket assembly for being installed in an expandable luggage case, the bracket assembly has a base, first and second sliding parts and a rod. The base has grooves, and a plurality of grooves are located between the grooves and have substantially planar sidewalls. When the lever is in the locked position, the coupling portion is positioned at least partially within one of the grooves, and the notch cooperates with the side wall to prevent movement of the lever and slide parallel to the groove. When the lever is in the unlocked position, the stop pin prevents rotation of the lever more than 180 degrees relative to the locked position, and the lever and slide are free to move in translation relative to the base and parallel to the slot. The rod and the slide member are movable to and from a plurality of expansion positions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for expandable luggage, and more particularly to a stand for expandable luggage that expands and contracts as desired. 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.

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...
