Problems solved by technology

[0003] A disadvantage of the known technology is that by using such a specific unfolding device the retractable wheels are placed in such a specific second position that in a practical embodiment the owner of the suitcase cannot push the suitcase with the pull bar
This particular second position results in an unstable suitcase when the owner pushes the suitcase when the wheels are in their second position - the suitcase can easily tip and fall to the ground
Furthermore, the wheels may automatically return to their first position when the pushed suitcase must pass an obstacle such as a doorstep
Even when all the wheels are in their second position and the suitcase is pulled, the suitcase may tend to tip and fall sideways
Therefore, it is inconvenient for the user to push or pull the suitcase

Embodiment Construction

[0054] Some embodiments are shown later in this application in which the luggage assembly has two front wheels. The disclosure of this document is not limited to embodiments with exactly two front wheels. Instead of two front wheels, all embodiments may have one front wheel arranged in a central position between the drawn positions of the two front wheels. In other embodiments, the luggage assembly even has more than two front wheels or more than two rear wheels.

[0055] figure 1 One embodiment of a luggage assembly 100 is schematically shown. Luggage assembly 100 includes wheel assembly 140 and luggage case 120 . exist figure 1 , the transition from wheel assembly 140 to luggage case 120 is schematically indicated by line 139 . In a practical embodiment, the transition interface is not exactly a plane, but can be formed by a (virtual) surface with recesses and protrusions. In a practical implementation, the wheel assembly 140 is as small as possible, and the relatively...

Abstract

A luggage assembly 100 and a frame are provided. The luggage assembly 100 comprises a luggage item 120 and a wheel assembly 140. The wheel assembly 140 comprises at least one front wheel 142 and rear wheels 144, 146 which are all moveable between a folded position and an unfolded position. The folded positions of the wheels are within the luggage assembly. The unfolded position of the rear wheels is behind the luggage assembly and the unfolded position of the front wheel is below the luggage assembly. When the wheels are in the unfolded position and the luggage assembly is arranged on the wheels on the ground, the luggage item is tilted and a projected point of gravity of the luggage item is in between the wheels. The luggage assembly is suitable for being pushed and being pulled, is very stable and provides a stable road behavior.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a luggage assembly comprising a luggage item and comprising a wheel assembly for carrying the luggage item. More specifically, the present invention relates to luggage assemblies adapted to be pushed and pulled by a user. Background technique [0002] US Patent US5154265 discloses a suitcase with retractable wheels. In the first position, the retractable wheels are substantially enclosed by the outer surface of the suitcase, and in the second position, the retractable wheels are disposed below the bottom surface of the suitcase. In the cited document, the bottom surface of the suitcase is the side of the suitcase on which the two shells of the suitcase are joined to each other. When the retractable wheels are in their first position, no wheels protrude beyond the suitcase, which results, for example, when transporting the suitcase from the check-in counter to the aircraft and when loading the suitcase into the aircraf...
