Abstract

See full text

A luggage bag (10) having a handle-activated wheel deployment system (11), which includes an extendable handle assembly (26) having a number of extendable members (25), and a cross piece (30) joining the extendable members (25). Also included is a number of extendable wheel assemblies (12) having extendable wheels (14) which are movable from a retracted position (78) to an extended position (76), and axel brackets (16) which are rotatable about a pivot (20). The axel bracket (16) also has at least one extension tab (74). An activation assembly (50) includes a linkage (49) which connects the extendable handle assembly (26) and at least one extendable wheel assembly (12), so that extension of the handle assembly (26) causes extension of the extendable wheels (14). The activation assembly (50) acts to move the extension tab (74) to pivot the wheels (14) to extend or retract.
