ABSTRACT:
A supporting device for a wheeled suitcase includes a positioning member, a leg member, a locking unit and a biasing member. The positioning member is mounted on a back wall of the suitcase, and has a mounting wall in a longitudinal direction, and a positioning unit disposed on an upper end of the mounting wall to extend in a first transverse direction. The positioning unit has a pivot member that extends in the first transverse direction. The leg member is pivoted to the pivot member at the upper end so as to turn therearound to an operative inclined position, or so as to move toward the mounting wall in order to be folded thereto. The leg member defines an opening for access to the mounting wall. The locking unit is disposed to be accessible via the opening, and includes a retaining member and an engaging tongue disposed on the mounting wall and the leg member, respectively. The engaging tongue can be brought in a second transverse direction to engage the retaining member when the leg member is at the folded position. At the folded position, the biasing member biases the engaging tongue to engage the retaining member.
