Abstract: A retractable wheel system for luggage. The retractable wheel system includes a luggage body with a base portion, a top portion and a plurality of sides, which define a packing compartment. At least two wheels are pivotably mounted to the base portion of the luggage body. An actuator is coupled to the housing, the actuator retracts or extends a cable wire. The cable wire extends from the actuator to the retractable wheels. The cable wire is guided to a rotary wheel by a pair of cable track wheels. The cable track wheels guide the cable wire along the rotary wheel from the actuator to the wheels. A recoil spring is connected to the actuator, the recoil spring contracts the cable wire and retracts the wheels. Further, a plurality of pockets are disposed at the base portion to house the wheels when the wheels are retracted.
