ABSTRACT:
A piece of luggage has a case with a substantially flat bottom wall formed with a pair of generally parallel grooves, with a pair of longitudinally spaced relatively wide outwardly open recesses in each groove, and with a wheel cutout adjacent a lower end of each groove. Respective solid support blocks are force-fitted in the recesses and are each formed with a throughgoing passage aligned with the respective groove. Respective tubes extend longitudinally along the grooves through the respective passages in the blocks and are rotatable in these blocks. Pivot mounts for wheels are carried on the lower tube ends and a handle is connected to the upper tube ends and are displaceable longitudinally relative thereto. Structure in the tube between the handle and the pivot mounts pivots these mounts through about 90.degree. between positions with the wheels in the cutouts and the wheels standing up from the bottom wall on displacement of the handle longitudinally away from the upper tube ends.
