ABSTRACT:
A frame work for soft-sided luggage comprises a U-shaped base structure that can be engaged with a U-shaped upper structure and/or a metal frame. The U-shaped upper structure or the metal frame serves to support a luggage configuration at the upper portion. The U-shaped base structure is provided with reinforcing ribs to increase the luggage rigidity, and also has wheel bases that can accommodate wheels for trailing the luggage. Guide grooves and guide bands are also provided on the U-shaped base structure to accommodate the metal frame when required. The U-shaped base and upper structures can be injection molded as standardized components that allow constructions of luggage with different structural configurations.
