ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to wheeled luggage, and more particularly to wheeled luggage with each of two durable devices mounted on a corresponding pedestal of the luggage.
2. Description of Related Art
Traditionally, luggage is provided with two wheels on two corners of the rear bottom and a retractable handle for easy carrying. The back side of the luggage (i.e., the side facing a person who carries the luggage) is tilted toward the person with the wheels rolling. It is often seen that the back side of the luggage comes into contact with a step when the luggage is carried in and out of a building with ascending steps. As a result, the back side, especially the portion near the wheels, is scratched. Hitherto, there is no proper device claimed to solve this problem.
Thus, it is desirable to provide a durable device for wheeled luggage to overcome the above drawback of prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a durable device for wheeled luggage wherein each of two durable devices is mounted on a corresponding pedestal of the luggage for avoiding the scratching of the luggage.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a durable device for wheeled luggage wherein the durable devices are simple in structure, easy to install, cost effective, and replaceable.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.
