ABSTRACT:
A luggage system has a dolly connector unit on each of a plurality of luggage pieces; and a dolly including a wheeled base; a handle frame including a parallel spaced pair of telescoping columns projecting from the base, a handle member being rigidly connected between the columns for manipulation of the dolly; a platform pivotally connected to the base on a platform axis proximate the handle frame and having an extended position perpendicular the handle frame and a retracted position against the handle frame, a support for contacting the roadway surface in the extended position of the platform for providing a rest position of the dolly wherein the platform is fixed parallel to the roadway surface with the wheels also contacting the roadway surface, the dolly also having a luggage connector unit supported on the handle frame for coupling the dolly connector units, at least one luggage piece being supportable partly on the platform and partly by the handle frame when the luggage connector unit is coupled to the corresponding dolly connector unit. Counterparts of the luggage connector can be located on the base, corresponding bottom dolly connectors being on a side face proximate a bottom face of the luggage pieces. Each bottom dolly connector can have a cavity portion for receiving a hook portion of a base luggage connector, thereby to register the luggage piece on the dolly.
