  • Publication number: 20040216970
    Abstract: A wheeled extendable support for long travel cases. When long travel cases are balanced on one corner, a handle on the upper end is too high for ease of use. With this invention, the case is tilted to an angle of 45 degrees or less off the ground and the invented support which has wheels at the bottom is extended from the case to carry a portion of the weight, allowing the handle at the top of the case to be used at a comfortable height. The wheeled support may be built in or added on to a case. The extendable support includes a locking mechanism. The extendable support may be folded upward or downward when collapsed.
