ABSTRACT:
Frames for softsided luggage usually comprise a hoop-shaped member of extruded plastic or metal attached to a bottom board to which in turn is attached wheels or the like. The means of attachment between this frame member and bottom board leads to aesthetic problems with regard to cluttered interior space. Disclosed is a luggage case and frame construction wherein the downwardly directed leg members of an extruded frame member terminate in splayed or outwardly directed attachment feet. Each attachment foot thus is positioned and permanently fixed to an end portion of the bottom board. Adjacent to the leg member is a divider panel, preferably in the form of a pouch-like cloth construction, which is attached to the associated end panel and forms an auxiliary compartment accessible through the end panel via a zipper. The pouch-like construction rests directly on the attachment foot, at least partially covering it, thus avoiding the addition of a cloth panel or auxiliary board for that purpose. The central area of the case remains uncluttered because of the unique attachment arrangement dislcosed.
