Abstract
This invention is a luggage construction allowing luggage to be slid, rather than the carried or dragged, up and down stairs. The essence of this invention is the combination of a super extendable/angleable pull handle, fixable in the angled position, with a smooth sliding surface on the stair resting face of the luggage body. The handle, super extended and locked in the angled position, is capable of being gripped comfortably by the user at hip level as the bag is being slid up the stairs. The smooth sliding surface removes protrusions from the bag face which slides along the points of the stairs. A brake device is added to prevent the bag from sliding out of control if it is accidentally released by the user.
Claims3
The combination of
- a. smooth sliding surface on the bottom face of luggage, such surface long enough to touch two adjacent step edges so as to present a smooth surface along which the bag can be slid up or down stairs and
- b. a variable position handle for the luggage which can function fixed
- 1. along the axis of the bag allowing the bag to be pulled on its wheels
- 2. extended at an acute angle to the top of the bag to allowing the handle to be comfortably gripped and the bag slid up or down the stairs while it rests flat against the them on its smooth sliding surface.
