A luggage frame comprising

• a floor having a pair of ends and side edges extending therebetween;
• a channel-shaped main frame including means for attaching to said floor and being constructed and disposed such that it projects from the floor;
• a pair of A-frame brackets, each A-frame bracket including flanges at its base angles which extend around the side edges of said floor and including means for attaching at its base to an end of said floor and means forming a projection at its apex extending into said channel-shaped main frame, each said A-frame bracket including means forming a slot at its base into which an end of said floor extends and is captured therein;
• a pair of major wheels rotatably mounted on transverse axles, said axles including means for fixing to said floor, said wheels projecting below said floor and being centered on the side edges of said floor generally longitudinally between said ends of said floor;
• a pair of minor wheels mounted to said floor and projecting below said floor, each minor wheel being disposed adjacent one of said ends thereof;
• a pull handle assembly mounted to one end of said main frame comprising a pull handle slide, a pull handle including means for sliding in said pull handle slide between a retracted and an extended position, said pull handle being a rectangle including a transverse hand grip at one end and an oblong-shaped transverse bar at the other end, a flat spring secured to said oblong-shaped transverse bar, and a spring clip including means for securing to said pull handle slide for receiving said oblong-shaped transverse bar in the handle extended position, said pull handle being rotatable in said spring clip whereby said pull handle may be disposed at a desired angle of inclination for pulling of the luggage frame, said flat spring including means for returning said pull handle to a vertical position when released.
