Abstract
The invention relates to luggage equipped with four rolling elements. Three of the elements (34, 36, 38) swivel on axles which are mounted more or less perpendicular to the face (28) of the luggage to which they are attached, while the fourth element (40) has a fixed rotation axis. According to this embodiment, the luggage may be moved either by pushing it while it rests on all four rolling elements or by pulling it, in which case it rests on the two swiveling rolling elements (34, 36) located along the longer side of the luggage face (28) to which they are attached.
