The present utility model refers to a rolling device and, more particularly, an improved multi-directional ball caster-type device having an increased slope, which means a smaller angular slope level, or a more acute inclination angle between the central vertical axis of the device and the surface upon which it rolls. The slope, or inclination angle of the present improved device is from 62 to 50, or less. As the inclinations angle can be more acute, the object supported on the rolling system, e.g. a luggage case, can be more sloped without having friction between the main ball involving structure and the ground.

A caster wheel assembly includes a wheel mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis within a wheel carriage such that the wheel rotates about the horizontal axis with respect to the wheel carriage. The wheel carriage is positioned within a retention ring such that the wheel carriage can rotate about the vertical axis with respect to the retention ring. The wheel carriage also has an opening on the bottom surface such that the wheel can make contact with the ground. The horizontal axis about which the wheel rotates is offset from the vertical axis about which the wheel carriage rotates. An outer carriage may be included such that the outer carriage is positioned within the retention ring and the wheel carriage is positioned within the outer carriage. The outer carriage would be able to rotate about the vertical axis with respect to both the retention ring and the wheel carriage.

An airport luggage and entertainment device includes an article of luggage and a communication unit that is integrated into the article of luggage. The communication unit is in remote communication with an extrinsic communication network and a personal electronic device. A display is integrated into the article of luggage thereby facilitating the display to be observable for displaying flight information received from the extrinsic communication network. A digital data reader is integrated into the article of luggage to read digital data from a digital video disk and a plurality of speakers is integrated into the article of luggage to emit audible sounds outwardly from the article of luggage. A light bar is integrated into the article of luggage to emit light outwardly from the article of luggage for illuminating a darkened area.

The present disclosure relates to a universal wheel assembly and a suitcase including the universal wheel assembly. The universal wheel assembly includes: a base structure including an upper base and a lower base which form a cavity therebetween; and a wheel bail locked in the cavity in a manner such that the wheel ball is capable of rolling in all directions, wherein a bottom of the lower base is provided with an opening enabling a part of the wheel bail to protrude out of a lower end face of the lower base to form an exposed rolling spherical surface, and an inner diameter of the opening is smaller than a diameter of the wheel ball.

There is disclosed a portable suitcase comprising a body section, a top; at least one handle; at least one axle coupled to the body section, said at least one axle being configured to be rotatably coupled to said at least one handle; at least one frame. There is also a plurality of wheels coupled to said frame, wherein said body section is rotatable on said frame via said at least one axle. In at least one embodiment the suitcase has a plurality of handles wherein at least one handle comprises at least one U-shaped handle, wherein said axle comprises at least one cylinder extending to couple to said at least one U-shaped handle. In at least one embodiment the cylinder is rotatable in said at least one U-shaped handle. In one embodiment the body section is rotatable from at least one suitcase position to a seating position.

A luggage system includes modular cavities configured to receive selectively removable inserts for holding beverage containers, mobile devices, or accessories. The inserts are formed of rubber-like elastomeric materials and employ force-fit mechanisms to secure into pre-molded cavities and create seals that prevent the ingress of liquids or debris. Some inserts include integrated wireless charging coils for powering mobile devices, electrically coupled to an internal battery or solar panel. Plug modules may replace inserts when not in use and feature sealing gaskets and latch mechanisms for protection and streamlined appearance. Standardized cavity geometry allows for interchangeable use of trays, cupholders, or electronic docks across various luggage formats, including suitcases, duffels, and backpacks. The system supports modularity, hygiene, charging functionality, and accessory expansion, transforming traditional luggage into a customizable, tech-enabled travel platform.

The disclosure provides an article of luggage including one or more receptacles. The receptacles may receive beverage containers, food and food containers, or mobile devices. The receptacles may be integrated into the luggage or selectively removable from the luggage. Blank plugs may be inserted into the receptacle openings and secured via a latch mechanism. The receptacles may also be secured with the latch mechanism. Seals are provided to prevent water, dirt, or debris from entering the luggage and securing the contents of the luggage.
