ABSTRACT:
The wheeled luggage has upper and lower cast skeletal frame members and substantially parallel tubular members interconnecting the upper and lower skeletal frame members and maintaining the skeletal frame members in a predetermined spaced apart relation so as to define a body cavity therebetween. The wheeled luggage also has a covering connected to the skeletal frame members and enclosing the body cavity with an openable fastener on the covering for providing access to the interior of the body cavity. A retractable handle having elongate substantially parallel side members telescopically is received in the tubular members and is in an extended position when the luggage is being transported. Spaced apart wheel mounting members extend from rear portions of the lower skeletal frame member and are cast integral therewith. Wheels are mounted on the wheel mounting members for facilitating the transporting of the luggage and feet extend downwardly from front portions of the lower cast skeletal frame member and are cast integral therewith. The lower end of the feet is in a common plane with the lower portions of the wheels so that the luggage may be positioned in an upright position.
