AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention is a new design for luggage bags that solves the problem of traditional luggage being uncomfortable to carry. The new design has two sets of wheels, one of which is foldable and detachable, which can be connected to the main wheels or act simultaneously with the handle movement. The tilted body of the bag also helps to push it forward, while the foldable wheel in the bottom of the bag can be used for electrical propelling. The design also allows for a more efficient use of gravity, as the passenger only needs to raise their arm to carry the bag. Overall, the new design provides a more comfortable and efficient luggage bag for passengers."

Problems solved by technology

Traditional luggage, such as the ones used by airport passengers, is not of the most convenient design.
It can be very tiring especially if the passenger needs to walk a long way from one terminal to another.

Embodiment Construction

[0003]In FIG. 1, a 2nd set of wheels is attached to the luggage bag. The 2nd set of wheels are foldable and detachable. They can be folded into a box outside of the luggage bag (FIG. 1A), or inside the luggage bag (FIG. 1B).

[0004]In FIG. 2, the tilted body of the bag is shown. The tilted top portion of the bag puts more weight at the top, that provides a forward-pushing force from gravity while the passenger carry the bag forward.

[0005]FIG. 3. The 90 degree angles (“L” shape lever) lower the position of the front rod so the passenger does not need to raise his or her hand while carry the luggage. The handle is attached to the top side of the luggage, compared to conventional luggage where the handle is attached to the bottom side. When the passenger grabs the front rod, he or she presses down the luggage, instead of having to lift the bag up if the handle is attached to the bottom side, thus saving strength and energy with the natural force of gravity.

[0006]In FIG. 4, the second set...

Abstract

The main body of the luggage bag has a special tilted shape that puts more weight at the top instead of at the bottom of the luggage bag. There are two sets of wheels. The first set of wheels is at the bottom of the luggage bag. The second set of wheels has a spring, screws or fixed positions attached to adjust the height. This second set of wheels can be foldable (into a box), or detachable from the luggage, and be attached to any existing traditional luggage bag. There is an “L” shape lever as part of the handle to release the stress of the human arm while dragging the luggage bag. The wheels can be connected and powered by electrical sources or batteries.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Traditional luggage, such as the ones used by airport passengers, is not of the most convenient design. This is because the luggage needs to be half lifted from the bottom, stressing the passenger's arm from one side. It can be very tiring especially if the passenger needs to walk a long way from one terminal to another. [0002]A newly designed self-propelled luggage bag takes advantage of the gravity, which propels the luggage bag forward, instead of backward. There is a 2nd set of wheels, besides the main wheels fixed to the bottom of the luggage bag, to support the weight of the bag. This 2nd set of wheels (one wheel or more) is foldable, detachable, and can be designed to act simultaneously with the handle movement. It can also be connected to the 3rd wheel, which is in between the 2 main wheels at the bottom, for electrical propelling. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION[0003]In FIG. 1, a 2nd set of wheels is attached to the luggage bag. The 2n...
