Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a support apparatus for wheeled luggage. It consists of a luggage case and a frame member. The luggage case has a pull handle, pivot seats, and a U-shaped pivot rod with horizontal racks. The frame member has pivot fasteners and wheels. The horizontal racks connect the two main legs of the frame, which pivotally attach with the U-shaped pivot rod. The bottom of the U-shaped pivot rod extends to the position of the horizontal rack. The U-shaped pivot rod is fastened to the first pivot seats of the luggage case and the second frame, and multiple pivot fasteners secure the second frame to the main legs of the first frame. When pulling the second frame, it unfolds to form a cross-shaped platform, making it easier for users to access the contents of the luggage case without having to bend down or squat down. The wheels are pivoted to the bottom ends of the frames, ensuring stability."

Problems solved by technology

1. Inconvenience of use: Since the conventional wheeled luggage contains multiple wheels 31 fixed under the luggage case 30, and the pull handle 32 is fixed above the luggage case 30 as well, so the practical use of the luggage is inconvenient, especially when the luggage case is laid down on the floor, the users have to bend down their back or squat down to sort out the articles inside the case; and
2. Poor stability of the wheels: Since the wheels and the pull handle are located on the luggage case in opposition to each other, and the wheels are simply pivoted under the luggage case, so when the luggage case is dragged by pulling the pull handle 32, the weight of the luggage case 30 will fall on the pivot axis of the wheels 31 significantly, which easily causes the wheels 31 to be damaged by supporting such heavy weight, thus the stability of the wheels 31 is poor.

Abstract

A support apparatus for wheeled luggage, comprising a luggage case and a frame member, wherein the frame member further comprises a first frame having two main legs and multiple wheels, and a second frame having multiple pivot fasteners and multiple wheels. When pulling the second frame, the second frame and the first frame will be unfolded to form in a shape of cross, so that the structure of the luggage case and the frame member will transform into a platform type, the users do not need to bend down their back or squat down to sort out the articles in the luggage case; furthermore, since the wheels are pivoted to the bottom ends of the first frame and second frame, so that the stability of the wheels is secured.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a support apparatus. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus used in a mobile luggage having wheels and pull handle.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]A conventional wheeled luggage as shown in FIG. 5 comprises a luggage case 30 in which multiple wheels 31 are pivoted under the case 30, and a pull handle 32 is installed above the luggage case 30. The luggage case 30 can be dragged by pulling the pull handle 32, so as the wheels 31 of the luggage case 30 will be rolling glidingly to move.[0005]However, the conventional wheeled luggage has contained some improvable defects, such as:[0006]1. Inconvenience of use: Since the conventional wheeled luggage contains multiple wheels 31 fixed under the luggage case 30, and the pull handle 32 is fixed above the luggage case 30 as well, so the practical use of the luggage is inconvenient, especially when the luggage cas...
