Abstract
A collapsible luggage includes a rigid base, a plurality of wheel members, a flexible body, and a telescopic rod unit. The rigid base defines a receiving space. The flexible body includes two side segments and opposite front and rear segments. The telescopic rod unit is disposed on one of the side segments of the flexible body, and is pivotable relative to the base between an unfolded position, where the flexible body is expanded so that the flexible body and the base cooperatively define an accommodating space, and a folded position, where the flexible body is collapsed, and the telescopic rod unit and the flexible body are received in the receiving space.
Claims11
A collapsible luggage comprising:
- a rigid base including a base wall, and a surrounding wall that extends upwardly from said base wall, that has two short edges and two long edges interconnecting said short edges, and that cooperates with said base wall to define a receiving space;
- a plurality of wheel members disposed on a bottom surface of said base wall;
- a flexible body including two side segments that are respectively connected to said short edges of said surrounding wall, and opposite front and rear segments that are respectively connected to said long edges of said surrounding wall and that interconnect said side segments;
- and
- a telescopic rod unit disposed on said flexible body, and having a pivot end that is pivotally connected to one of said short and long edges of said surrounding wall, said telescopic rod unit being pivotable relative to said one of said short and long edges between an unfolded position and a folded position, said telescopic rod unit is disposed on one of said side segments of said flexible body, said pivot end of said telescopic rod unit being pivotally connected to one of said short edges of said surrounding wall which is adjacent to said one of said side segments of said flexible body;
- and
- a first reinforcing unit including a reinforcing board that is disposed between said telescopic rod unit and said one of said side segments of said flexible body, and that is co-movable with said telescopic rod unit,
- wherein, when said telescopic rod unit is at the unfolded position, said telescopic rod unit is substantially perpendicular to said base wall, and said flexible body is expanded so that said flexible body and said base cooperatively define an accommodating space, and that said collapsible luggage is transformed to an expanded state, and
- wherein, when said telescopic rod unit is at the folded position, said flexible body is collapsed, and said telescopic rod unit and said flexible body are received in said receiving space of said base so that said collapsible luggage is transformed to a collapsed state.

- a telescopic rod unit disposed on said flexible body, and having a pivot end that is pivotally connected to one of said short and long edges of said surrounding wall, said telescopic rod unit being pivotable relative to said one of said short and long edges between an unfolded position and a folded position;
- and
- a restraining device including two fixation seats that are rotatably mounted on said surrounding wall of said base, and an elastic strip that interconnects said fixation seats,
- wherein, when said telescopic rod unit is at the unfolded position, said telescopic rod unit is substantially perpendicular to said base wall, and said flexible body is expanded so that said flexible body and said base cooperatively define an accommodating space, and that said collapsible luggage is transformed to an expanded state,
- wherein, when said telescopic rod unit is at the folded position, said flexible body is collapsed, and said telescopic rod unit and said flexible body are received in said receiving space of said base so that said collapsible luggage is transformed to a collapsed state,
- wherein when said collapsible luggage is in the expanded state, said elastic strip is in contact with said bottom surface of said base, and
- wherein, when said collapsible luggage is in the collapsed state, said elastic strip is flipped to a top surface of said base so as to restrain said flexible body and said telescopic rod unit in said receiving space.
