Foldable trolley luggage bag

USPTO Application #: 20080135365
Title: Foldable trolley luggage bag
Abstract: A foldable trolley luggage bag includes a bottom support, a reverse U-shaped telescoping handle, a coupling member, and a soft bag. The bottom support is provided at two lower rear ends with two wheels to enable easy pull or push of the luggage bag. The coupling member is fixed to a rear top of the bottom support, and two lower ends of the telescoping handle are turnably mounted in two guiding ways formed below two lateral ends of the coupling member. The soft bag is compressible and foldable, and is connected at an upper side to the telescoping handle and at a lower side to a top of the bottom support. Therefore, the whole telescoping handle may be pivotally turned about the coupling member between an upright and a horizontal position without being interfered by the soft bag. (end of abstract)

  monitor keywords FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a trolley luggage bag, and more particularly to a foldable trolley luggage bag that includes a coupling member, to which a telescoping handle is connected to be turnable between an upright position for use and a horizontal position for storage.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

People use a trolley luggage case to hold things, so as to carry the luggage with less effort. The trolley luggage case includes a rigid luggage case that is always maintained in a largest possible volume. Therefore, such trolley luggage case requires higher freight than generally soft luggage bags. The trolley luggage case also occupies a large storage space and causes confusion to the user.

There is a soft luggage bag equipped with a telescoping handle and wheels, so that it may be moved as a trolley. To properly support and accordingly prevent a lower side of the soft luggage bag from touching the ground when the soft luggage bag is being moved on wheels, a rigid supporting device must be detachably assembled to the wheels. U.S. Pat. No. 6,550,592 disclosed a collapsible bag with wheels and a bottom panel. When it is desired to fold and store the collapsible bag, the bottom panel must be removed from the bag and kept separately. In the event the bottom panel is carelessly lost, the collapsible bag is no longer conveniently movable on the wheels and the telescoping handle and the wheels fixedly connected to the collapsible bag become completely useless but to increase the weight of the luggage.

It is therefore tried by the inventor to develop a foldable trolley luggage bag that may be folded to largely reduce the storage room and the freight thereof, and enable convenient storage by a user.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A primary object of the present invention is to provide a foldable trolley luggage bag that may be folded into a smaller volume to reduce the room and freight needed to transport the luggage bag, and enable convenient storage by merchants and users.

To achieve the above and other objects, the foldable trolley luggage bag according to the present invention includes a bottom support, a reverse U-shaped telescoping handle, a coupling member, and a soft bag. The bottom support is provided at two lower rear ends with two wheels to enable easy pull or push of the luggage bag by a user. The coupling member is fixed to a rear top of the bottom support, and two lower ends of the telescoping handle are turnably mounted in two guiding ways formed below two lateral ends of the coupling member. The soft bag is compressible and foldable, and is connected at an upper side to the telescoping handle and at a lower side to a top of the bottom support. Therefore, the whole telescoping handle may be pivotally turned about the coupling member between an upright position for use and a horizontal position for storage without being interfered by the soft bag.

The bottom support provides the soft bag with a strong lower end that does not deform to undesirably touch the ground when the soft bag is stuffed with things.

To enable folding of the whole trolley luggage bag, the soft bag is made of a tough but compressive and foldable material.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
