Unit of luggage configured to ascertain its own weight

A unit of luggage configured to ascertain its own weight, the unit of luggage comprising:

• a case comprising a plurality of wheels disposed thereon,
• a detection assembly comprising a plurality of sensor assemblies, each one of the plurality of sensor assemblies being adjacently disposed to a corresponding one of the plurality of wheels, each one of the plurality of sensor assemblies comprising:
• a housing assembly,
• a load cell sensor comprising a stem and a base connected to one another,
• a shaft disposed within the housing assembly and connected around a distal end thereof to a corresponding one of the plurality of wheels, the shaft being adjacently disposed to a bottom side of the sensor,
• a stopper disposed between the shaft and the case;
• the stopper configured to at least partially limit movement of the shaft outside of the case,
• the housing assembly comprising:
• a sensor housing comprising a sidewall and a barrier, the barrier connected to a bottom portion of the sidewall, the sidewall configured to define an enclosure area on an interior of the sidewall, the sensor disposed within the sensor housing on the interior of the sidewall,
• a cylinder comprising a hollow interior and configured to enclose the shaft, the cylinder configured to permit a reciprocal movement of the shaft, upward and downward, within the hollow interior;
• an interior surface of the cylinder being cooperatively configured with an exterior surface of the shaft to enable a frictional resistance between them that at least partially diminishes a reciprocal movement of the shaft within the hollow interior of the cylinder,
• a cylinder housing adjacently disposed to the sensor housing and configured to at least partially enclose the cylinder, at least a portion of the cylinder housing being connected to the case,
• a processing unit operatively disposed within the case,
• the shaft, the cylinder, the cylinder housing and the sensor housing collectively configured and dimensioned to allow a controlled movement of at least the case with respect to the shaft when the case is disposed in a substantially upright position, and
• the sensor being operatively configured with the processing unit to ascertain at least a portion of the weight of the unit of luggage when the case is disposed in the substantially upright position.
