Wheeled luggage

Wheeled luggage, comprising:

• respective upper and lower cast skeletal frame members;
• substantially parallel tubular members interconnecting said upper and lower skeletal frame members and maintaining the skeletal frame members in a predetermined spaced apart relation so as to define a body cavity therebetween;
• a covering formed of pliable fabric connected to said skeletal frame members and enclosing said body cavity;
• openable fastener means including a zipper on said covering for providing access to the interior of said body cavity;
• a retractable handle, having elongate substantially parallel side members telescopically received in said tubular members, and being in an extended position when the luggage is being transported;
• pairs of spaced apart wheel mounting members extending from rear portions of said lower case skeletal frame member and cast integral therewith;
• a wheel mounted on each pair of said wheel mounting members for facilitating the transporting of the luggage;
• and
• a pair of feet extending downwardly from front portions of said lower cast skeletal frame member and cast integral therewith and providing front support for the luggage when in an upright position, the lower ends of said feet being in a common plane with the lower portions of said wheels so that the luggage may be positioned in an upright position.

Wheeled luggage, comprising:

• respective upper and lower cast skeletal frame members;
• substantially parallel tubular members interconnecting said upper and lower cast skeletal frame members and maintaining the skeletal frame members in a predetermined spaced apart relation so as to define a body cavity therebetween;
• a pair of spaced apart elongate angle members connecting rear corner portions of said upper cast skeletal frame member to rear corner portions of said lower cast skeletal frame member for imparting added rigidity to the luggage for protection against damage during usage;
• a covering formed of pliable fabric connected to said cast skeletal frame members and said elongate angle members and enclosing said body cavity;
• openable fastener means including a zipper on said covering for providing access to the interior of said body cavity;
• a retractable generally U-shaped handle having elongate substantially parallel side members telescopically received in said tubular members and being in an extended position when the luggage is being transported;
• spring biased latching means mounted on said upper cast skeletal frame member, and wherein said parallel side members of said retractable handle have notches therein adjacent the lower ends thereof for cooperating with said latching means for locking the handle in extended use position;
• pairs of spaced apart wheel mounting members extending from rear portions of said lower skeletal frame member and cast integral therewith;
• a wheel mounted on each pair of said wheel mounting members for facilitating the transporting of the luggage;
• and
• a pair of feet extending downwardly from front portions of said lower cast skeletal frame member and cast integral therewith and providing front support for the luggage when in an upright position, the lower ends of said feet being in a common plane with the lower portions of said wheels so that the luggage may be positioned in an upright position.
