ABSTRACT:
Wheeled luggage apparatus having a pair of independent wheel assemblies is formed with a frame having first, second, third and fourth sidewalls. A first notch (which extends from edge to interior side surfaces of the first and second sidewalls) and a second notch (which extends from edge to interior side surfaces of the second and third sidewalls) are formed in the frame. First and second wheel assemblies, each fully independent from the other, are mounted to the frame of the wheeled luggage apparatus. Each of the independent wheel assemblies is comprised of first and second subassemblies. Each of the first subassemblies are comprised of a central wheel well and first and second flanges while each of the second subassemblies are comprised of a central portion and first and second flanges. The first subassemblies are mounted to the frame such that the wheel wells are received in respective ones of the notches while the second subassemblies are mounted to the frame such that a space is defined between the wheel well and the central portion. A wheel mount is attached to an interior side surface of each wheel well and positioned in the space between the first and second subassemblies. Each wheel mount includes a shaft which extends through an aperture formed in the wheel well. A wheel is mounted to each shaft such that it is positioned within the corresponding wheel well into which the shaft projects.
