Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a space-saving suitcase assembly with telescoping tubes and a modular stabilizing element. The modular stabilizing element is affixed to the top side of the suitcase and provides support to the telescoping tubes. The assembly includes a handle, a release button, and a stabilizing element that can be attached to the suitcase using mounting hardware. The telescoping tubes are located along the left and right side of the suitcase and can occupy no internal volume of the suitcase. The modular stabilizing element can be manufactured separately from the suitcase and connected to the telescoping tubes using a base tube. The invention allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the suitcase and provides a stable and secure carrying solution.

Problems solved by technology

In the art of suitcases, traditional handle assemblies extend along the complete length of the suitcase limiting the amount of useable space available when packing.

Abstract

A space-saving suitcase assembly comprising a plurality of telescoping tubes, the plurality of telescoping tubes including a base tube and a top tube; a handle connected to the top tube; a release button positioned on the handle; the suitcase having a top side, a front side, a back side, a left side, a right side, and a bottom side creating a perimeter surface and an internal volume, a modular stabilizing element made from a rigid material, the modular stabilizing element affixed to the top side via mounting hardware; the base tube connected to the modular stabilizing element providing support to the plurality of telescoping tubes. The modular stabilizing element, the top of the suitcase, or the entire suitcase with modular stabilizing element and base tube and telescoping handles may be manufactured as one unit by injection molding, CNC machining, or 3D additive manufacturing (3D printing), or other manufacturing process.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]N / ABACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention generally relates to suitcases, and more particularly to space-saving suitcase handle assemblies for suitcases.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]In the art of suitcases, traditional handle assemblies extend along the complete length of the suitcase limiting the amount of useable space available when packing. The handle assemblies are usually mounted to the bottom of the suitcase, which occupies approximately 10% of the internal volume of the suitcase. Consequently, it is an object of the present invention to redesign the handle assembly to increase the available space, while fitting existing suitcase designs without compromising on handle stability.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0006]In one embodiment of the present invention an assembly is provided, comprising a suitcase having a top side, a front side, a back side, a left side, a right side, ...
