ABSTRACT:
An improved suitcase construction is disclosed which comprises an inclined handle which permits the force of the movement of the center of gravity of a person who holds the handle to be translated to the suitcase in the direction of movement to allow the suitcase to be moved with a minimum of effort. The suitcase also comprises a plurality of casters, wherein the rear casters have outer diameters greater than the outer diameters of the front casters to provide increased stability and direction changing capability during the movement.
