A suitcase having a base and a lid where the lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching assemblies is disclosed. The lid may comprise an upper shell, and the base may comprise a lower shell. The upper shell and the lower shell may be seamlessly formed to create a water resistant and/or waterproof suitcase. The suitcase may have an extendable trolley handle assembly that is externally attached to the base of the suitcase. The trolley handle assembly may comprise a pair of extrusion assemblies that are connected to the base of the suitcase and connected to each other by a grip. The suitcase may also have a removably secured interior liner.

A wheeling apparatus for a suitcase has a wheeling frame defining a frame plane. A wheeling leg assembly pivotably is attached to the wheeling frame at a pivoting axis and is pivotably moveable between a first position adjacent and parallel to the wheeling frame plane and a second position extending at an adjustable angle to the wheeling frame plane. Leaning wheels are secured to the wheeling leg assembly. Straps enable the apparatus to be removably secured to the suitcase. A flexible wire having a first end attached to the wheeling leg assembly and a second end attachable to a holding device that is configured to firmly hold the second end at an adjustable location thereon and which is so configured as to allow a user to selectively adjust an inclination angle at which the wheeling leg assembly extends relative to the frame plane during use of the apparatus.

A multi-functional luggage includes a first frame positioned such that an outer face of the first frame includes elements for engaging with the ground. The luggage further includes a second frame operably connected to the first frame and a third frame operably connected to the second frame using a hinge structure such that the third frame pivots from a first position wherein the second frame and the third frame are contiguous to a second position wherein the third frame and the second frame are partially open in order to expose interior of the third frame and the second frame. The third frame and the second frame form a seat in the second position that is sized to support a human such that a torso of the human rests in the second frame and feet of the human rests in the third frame.

The disclosure provides a wheeled container assembly (10) and a handle assembly (20) for a container, the handle assembly comprising a pair of pa ra Nelly disposed leg members (24, 26), each leg member comprising a first leg segment (32) articulable to the container, a second leg segment (34) telescopically displaceable with respect to said first leg segment, and a third leg segment (36) telescopically displaceable with respect to said second leg segment; a bridge member (40) rigidly extending between an upper portion the first leg segments, and a manipulating handle (42) rigidly extending between a top portion of the third leg segments; the leg members are configurable between a locked extended position and a locked retracted position; a primary locking mechanism (120); and a secondary locking mechanism (50); and wherein retracting the third leg segment into the second leg segment is facilitated after retraction of the second leg segment into the first leg segment.

The present invention provides portable suitcases with an adjustable and retractable pulling handle.

A portable tennis equipment bag includes a bag body that has an internal frame that supports the shape of the body and which further provides support for a plurality of extendible legs that can extend from the bottom of the bag. The extendible legs can also collapse inside of the bag body. Each of the extendible legs can be attached, at their lower ends, to an lower shelf member at the bottom of the body of the bag, outside of the body of the bag. As a result, when the extendible legs are extended, the lower shelf portion is separated from the body of the bag and sits beneath the body of the bag, attached to the legs. Rolling mechanisms can be provided at the bottom of the lower shelf portion to allow the bag to be moved about across a surface such as a tennis court.

Disclosed is an offset handle for telescopic frames provides for convenient and safe control of the telescopes, increased range of the frame extension, and improved portability when folded. The handle includes a hollow C-shaped housing configured for attaching to a pair of interlatching telescoping poles, an actuator configured to move in the housing laterally relative to the poles and biased to an initial position, a two pronged rocker having a crank, said two pronged rocker mounted pivotally within the housing and configured for engaging latching mechanisms of each of the poles, a ramp formed within the housing, and a pusher attached pivotally to said actuator. Said pusher configured to move between said ramp and said crank of said two pronged rocker.

An item of luggage includes an extendable and retractable handle mechanism having a handle axle to which a grip portion is mechanically connected. An elongate member is mounted to be movable in translation relative to a fixed sheath. A locking/unlocking system is mechanically connected to elongate member and at least partly housed in the sheath. An interface system includes a cam journal and is configured to actuate the locking/unlocking system by the handle axle. The cam journal includes a first end mechanically connected to the handle axle and a second end, opposite the first end, with a transmission tip having a contact face. In a first position of the grip portion, the locking/unlocking system is configured to lock the handle in a selected position. In a second position of the grip portion, obtained by the rotation of the grip portion, the locking/unlocking system is configured to unlock the handle.

In one embodiment, a luggage case is disclosed. The luggage case includes a main body including a lid shell and a base shell. The lid shell and the base shell are hingedly coupled to one another and selectively closable by a closure mechanism. The luggage case further includes a primary recess, the primary recess defining a bottom wall. A secondary recess is formed in the bottom wall of the primary recess and an attachment member is positioned in the secondary recess.

A wheeled luggage case comprises (a) a storage chamber, (b) a cover defining an opening on at least one side of the storage chamber for providing ready access therein and at least two labyrinth axle-free wheels operatively connected to the chamber for towing the case along a ground surface. The labyrinth axle-free wheel comprises an internal rim, an external rim provided with a ground interface, rollers being rotatably disposed within a roller spacer between the internal and external rims in a uniform circumferential manner by means of a spacer and external covers. A labyrinth type dust passage in the wheel is defined by the rims and the external plates mechanically connected to the internal rim.
