Packaging system

A packaging system, comprising:

• a packaging body including a plurality of sidewalls and a bottom plate;
• a support plate including a horizontal portion parallel with, and fixed to, the bottom plate of the packaging body and a vertical portion parallel with the sidewall;
• a reinforcing layer, wherein the horizontal portion is fixed between the reinforcing layer and the bottom plate of the packing body;
• a wheel assembly receiving chamber disposed in the packaging body;
• a wheel assembly including a wheel housing rotationally mounted to the packaging body;
• and
• a wheel rotationally connected to the wheel housing;
• wherein the wheel assembly is selectively disposed in an operational position or a stowed position, wherein the wheel assembly is disposed substantially within the wheel assembly receiving chamber when the wheel assembly is disposed in the stowed position and wherein the wheel assembly is disposed at least partially substantially external to the wheel assembly receiving chamber when the wheel assembly is disposed in the operational position.

A packaging system, comprising:

• a packaging body defining an internal cavity;
• an auxiliary body disposed at least partially within the internal cavity;
• a wheel assembly receiving chamber disposed in the auxiliary body;
• a support plate joined to a bottom plate of the packaging body;
• a wheel assembly including a wheel housing pivotally mounted to the support plate;
• and
• a wheel mounted to the wheel housing;
• wherein the wheel assembly is selectively disposed in an operational position or a stowed position, wherein the wheel assembly is disposed substantially within the wheel assembly receiving chamber when the wheel assembly is disposed in the stowed position and wherein the wheel assembly is at least partially disposed substantially external to the wheel assembly receiving chamber when the wheel assembly is disposed in the operational position;
• wherein the wheel is rotationally mounted to the wheel housing;
• wherein an operational securement mechanism releaseably securing the wheel assembly in the support plate;
• wherein the operational securement mechanism includes a biased protrusion disposed on the wheel housing that releasably engages with a portion of the support plate;
• and
• wherein a compression of the biased protrusion causes a disengagement of the biased protrusion and a biased protrusion receiving portion, and permits the wheel assembly to rotate from the operational position.

A packaging system, comprising:

• a packaging body including a plurality of sidewalls and a bottom plate;
• a support plate including a horizontal portion parallel with, and fixed to, the bottom plate of the packaging body and a vertical portion parallel with the sidewall;
• a wheel assembly receiving chamber disposed in the packaging body;
• a wheel assembly including a wheel housing rotationally mounted to the packaging body;
• and
• a wheel rotationally connected to the wheel housing;
• wherein the wheel assembly being selectively disposed in an operational position or a stowed position, wherein the wheel assembly is disposed substantially within the wheel assembly receiving chamber when the wheel assembly is disposed in the stowed position and wherein the wheel assembly is disposed at least partially substantially external to the wheel assembly receiving chamber when the wheel assembly is disposed in the operational position;
• wherein the wheel housing is rotationally attached to the vertical portion of the support plate;
• and
• wherein a biased protrusion is disposed on the wheel housing, and the biased protrusion releasably engages with the horizontal portion of the support plate.
