  • Patent number: 6536787
    Abstract: A baseplate for an article of baggage, e.g., luggage. The baseplate includes a support member and three or more wheels disposed on the support member along a substantially linear axis and arranged so that adjacent wheels are substantially equidistant to one another. This advantageously provides greater stability to the baggage while distributing the load substantially equally. The invention also relates to an assembly in which the baseplate is mounted to an exterior surface of an article of baggage and pivotable about the substantially linear axis when tilted so as to roll along all three wheels. In one embodiment, the baseplate has three wheels including two outer wheels and an intermediate wheel disposed therebetween. The diameter of the two outer wheels is the same and larger than that of the diameter of the intermediate wheel.

  • Patent number: 4799521
    Abstract: A handle for a bag includes an elongated, flexible sheet member having an attachment region at each end. The attachment regions are adapted for attachment to the bag. The sheet member includes an elongated, rectangular intermediate region between the attachment regions. A welting member is adjacent to the intermediate region. The welting member includes an elongated sheet of relatively highly compressible and resilient material. The intermediate region is folded along its long principal axis so that the long sides of that region are mutually jointed at a seam with the welting member positioned between the two halves of the intermediate region on either side of the principal axis. The handle further includes a plurality of seams joining opposite portions of the two halves along substantially parallel axes extending transverse to the principal axis. The transverse axes are equally spaced in the direction of the principal axis by a distance D.
