  • Patent number: 10130150
    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a luggage assembly, and frame, wherein the luggage assembly includes a luggage item and a wheel assembly. The wheel assembly includes at least one front wheel, and rear wheels which are all moveable between a folded and an unfolded position. The folded positions of the wheels are within the luggage assembly. The unfolded position of the rear wheels is behind the luggage assembly and the unfolded position of the front wheel is below the luggage assembly. When the wheels are in the unfolded position and the luggage assembly is arranged on the wheels on the ground, the luggage item is tilted and a projected point of gravity of the luggage item is in between the wheels. The disclosed luggage assembly is suitable for being pushed and being pulled, is very stable and provides a stable road behavior.

  • Publication number: 20090315299
    Abstract: The invention relates to a folding stroller such as a buggy having a seat. The frame of the stroller includes a pull/push rod; right and left front wheel rods, each provided with a front wheel; and a cross bar system provided between the front wheel rods. When the stroller is unfolded, the cross bar system fixes the distance between the wheel-carrying ends of the front wheel rods. The cross bar system is constructed such that when the stroller is folded, the distance between the wheel-carrying ends of the front wheel rods is less than when the stroller is unfolded. The cross bar system includes a right part, a left part and a middle part, which are provided with an interlocking member which, on rotation of the middle part, pushes the left and right parts apart and mutually fixes them.
