ABSTRACT:
Luggage comprises a box and a lid hinged thereto. The box and lid are latched closed by a hasp/latch arrangement. The latch is configured to act upon the hasp to pop-open the lid when the hasp is unlatched. The lid is held open by a stay which includes a non-metallic washer sandwiched between a pair of metallic links. The washer includes a flexing shoulder which yieldably resists rotation of the links. A handle is mounted on the luggage and comprises a flexible grip which is molded onto a stiff skeleton. The latter includes anchoring holes and ribs to prevent separation of the grip from the skeleton. The handle is mounted by means of studs, the latter being secured to the lid or box by means of wedges which are pushed between flexible legs of the studs. Hinges of the lid include plastic ground-engaging pads which are joined to anchoring skirts which prevent dislodgement of the pads from the hinge.
