This invention is directed toward a wheel assembly that can easily be attached and detached from a case such that the case can be wheeled when needed, but have the wheels removed for storage or transportation in a vehicle or plane. The wheel assembly comes in three parts—an axel, two wheels, and two wheel mounts—so it is simple to assembly, and because it has no moving parts, it is solid and durable.

Case for containing an item and method of manufacture comprising: a first panel having a perimeter edge and at least one hinge for folding the first panel. A second panel having a perimeter edge and at least one hinge for folding the second panel. A side panel. A first fastener configured to attach the side panel to the perimeter edge of the first panel. A second fastener configured to attach the side panel to the perimeter edge of the second panel. Method of manufacture of a layered material comprising the steps of: placing a substrate between a first and a second layer of self-reinforced polypropylene (srPP). Bonding the layers of srPP and substrate by: stitching, or riveting through the first layer of srPP, the substrate and the second layer of srPP; or gluing the first layer of srPP, the substrate and the second layer of srPP together.

A wheel adapter to convert a storage container to a wheeled storage container is provided. The wheel adapter comprises a mounting bracket attachable to the storage container. The mounting bracket comprises a first leg configured to engage a bottom surface of the storage container, and a second leg configured to engage a side surface of the storage container. The second leg comprises a wheel coupling. The wheel adapter also includes a wheel rotatably connected to the wheel coupling. The wheel is constructed and arranged for rotation about an axis to provide rolling support of the storage container on the ground.

A suitcase includes a kit to convert the suitcase to a luggage cart. A typical rolling suitcase additionally includes at least three sockets provided in spaced relation in the major bottom wall of the suitcase base and open to an outside of the suitcase, and at least three stem casters, each stem caster having a wheel rotatable in a housing and a stem attached to the housing, the stem being configured to be removably secured in one of the at least three sockets. When the at least three stem casters are secured in the at least three sockets and the bottom wall of the suitcase base is arranged facing the ground with the wheels of the at least three stem casters touching the ground, the suitcase is useable as a luggage cart by piling at least one further suitcase over the suitcase lid.

A moving mechanism configured to be assembled to an object to adjust a movement of the object is provided. The moving mechanism includes a bracket, a first wheel, a brake module, a control module, and a sensing module. The bracket is assembled to the object. The first wheel and the brake module are assembled to the bracket. The control module communicates with and drives the brake module. The sensing module communicates with the brake module, and the sensing module is configured to sense an orientation of the object. The control module adjusts a brake force of the brake module on the first wheel based on the orientation of the object.

A releasable wheel assembly includes a bracket having multiple bosses, each boss including a hole that receives an axle. A pair of wheels are mounted on the axle and a pair of locking caps fit over respective ends of the axle, the locking caps each including a clip for engaging the axle at a circumferential groove to prevent movement of the locking cap along the axle. The wheel assembly can be mounted to a carry bag or other storage unit by mounting the bracket to the storage unit, where the wheels and axle can be easily removed from the bracket.

This relates to a rolling water container system that can, in various examples, be used to gather, transport, filter, store and dispense liquids such as water. The rolling water container system according to various examples of the disclosure can provide easier transportation of the water, lifting of the water container or drum, and accessibility to the inside of the drum. Additional features can assist with conservation of water by preventing water leakage from the drum and providing for near-complete emptying of the drum. Further features can include handles with greater mechanical strength.

Provided is a trolley bag with separated middle frame structure and hinge and having shock-absorbing structure, which includes a trolley handle, a rear case, a middle frame, and a front case. The middle frame structure includes a hinge structure and a pair of middle frames. One of the pair of middle frames is connected to the rear case, and the other one is connected to the front case. The hinge structure includes a pair of hinges and a core pin, one of the pair of hinges is connected to one of the middle frames, the other is connected to the other one of the middle frames. The pair of hinges are movably connected through the core pin. The pair of middle frames is locked together by an interlocking assembly. Shock-absorbing wheels are arranged at four corners of a bottom of the trolley bag.

A bag includes a bag structure having a base and a wheel structure removably coupled to the base to facilitate a rolling movement of the bag over a surface. The bag further includes a first strap, a first male coupler attached to the strap, and a first female coupler coupled to the bag structure. Moreover, the bag includes a second strap, a second female coupler attached to the second strap, and a second male coupler coupled to the bag structure. Also, the first strap and the second strap support the bag structure on shoulders of a wearer when the first male coupler and second male coupler, respectively, are coupled with the first female coupler and second female coupler. The first strap and the second strap together define a pull strap for facilitating a pulling of the bag when the first male coupler is engaged with the second female coupler.

A support device for wheels of transportable containers, such as trolley cases or the like, has at least two parts fixed to each other, including a first and a second part, so that the two parts have a relative movement therebetween, from a condition of maximum approach to a condition of maximum distancing. The first part is integral with the container and the second part is formed by an arm adapted to support at least one wheel, rotatably fixed to the arm. Furthermore, the first and the second part each have at least one magnetic element, and the at least two magnetic elements are arranged in opposite positions so as to generate a magnetic force of repulsion between the two parts, aimed at permanently maintaining the two parts in a condition of maximum distancing.
