Abstract: An elevated garden planter has a container and support structure. The container has a frame and a fabric portion supported by the frame. The frame portion has rigid horizontal and vertical tubes and corner connectors to connect the tubes. Each rigid tube has a slit that extends lengthwise along the rigid tube. The fabric includes fabric side panels and a fabric bottom panel. A hem is at an upper edge of each respective one of the fabric side panels and a seam attaches adjacent pairs of fabric side panels to one another. Each hem is inside a corresponding one of the rigid horizontal tubes with its associated fabric side panels extending through the slit of that rigid horizontal tube. Each seam is inside a corresponding one of the rigid vertical tubes with its associated connected fabric side panels extending through the slit of that rigid vertical tube.

Abstract: A luggage article including first rollers (44, 46) and selectively deployable or non deployable second rollers (52, 54). The luggage article includes a handle (26) that is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The user can selectively deploy or not deploy the second rollers even when the handle is in the extended position. An improved detent device and also an improved caster system (200) are also disclosed. Also, a wheeled panel mechanism by itself for use not only with luggage but also other articles such as carts, dollies and baby carriages, is disclosed.

Abstract: A suitcase has first rollers mounted thereon to at least partially support the suitcase when in an upright position and to enable rolling movement of the suitcase across a surface. The first end of an arm is pivotally mounted to a rigid body portion of the suitcase. Second rollers are mounted about adjacent to the second end of the arm to enable rolling movement of the suitcase across the surface. A first link is pivotally mounted to the rigid body portion, and a second link is pivotally mounted to the first link and the arm. The arm is alternately retractable to a retracted position about adjacent to a rear panel of the suitcase, and deployable to a deployed position spaced outwardly from the rear panel. The first and second rollers cooperate to fully support the suitcase when the second rollers are deployed and the suitcase is in a rolling position. A push/pull handle is mounted on the suitcase to enable a user to roll the suitcase across the surface.

Abstract: A container has a wall member; a front panel; and a rear panel generally parallel to and spaced apart from the front panel. The front and rear panels are connected about their peripheries to the wall member which extends between the front and rear panels to define a volume. The rear panel, the front panel and the wall member is a unitary, blow molded member including a generally rigid shell, and a plurality of flexible membranes each of which has a periphery and a surface. The periphery of the flexible membranes is bonded to the generally rigid shell. The surfaces of the flexible membranes are separated from the generally rigid shell to form a plurality of unbonded areas between the surfaces of the flexible membranes and the generally rigid shell. Air is contained within the unbonded areas, thereby forming a plurality of air pockets between the flexible membranes and the generally rigid shell.
