ABSTRACT:
This foldable frame type article of luggage comprises a central band-like frame and front and back flexible wall panels detachably connected to the peripheral edges of the frame. The frame includes a rigid, shallow, U-shape member defining the bottom portion and minor adjacent parts of the respective side portions of the frame and a pair of flexible band-like legs detachably joining together at the middle of the top portion of the frame at one end and transversely hinged to the ends of the U-shape shallow member at the other end, whereby said legs can be collapsed against said shallow U-shape member, when the side wall panels are detached, for storing the article of luggage in a minimum of space. When the side wall panels are fully attached to the frame, they maintain said frame in erected position. In accordance with a second embodiment, the legs are in telescopic engagement with the shallow U-shape member and there are provided at least two sets of front and back flexible wall panels, whereby the same frame can form article of luggages of different sizes.
