ABSTRACT:
The luggage case has a pair of wheels located at a lower back edge such that when the case rests on a flat surface, the wheels are held spaced from the floor surface. On lifting the case side opposite that including the wheels, the wheels are brought into rolling contact with the floor. A handle assembly is foldably received into the side wall opposite that including the wheels and can be selectively folded outwardly into a position for pulling or pushing, or, when not in use, folded into a receiving recess formed in the case side wall. A spring-loaded latch mechanism secures the handle within the recess during nonuse, and a finger release enables selective extension of the handle outwardly from the case wall for easy access when it is desired to move the case.
