Abstract
A luggage carrier is provided with a frame, handle, wheels, and pivotally mounted luggage support platform biased toward a storage position. A linkage arrangement is provided so that the wheels are pivoted to a collapsed, storage position when the platform moves to the storage position. In the storage position, the wheels overlap each other adjacent the frame. A latch is provided for holding the platform and wheels in the open, operative position. The frame is provided in a plurality of sections which can be unfolded to an extended configuration and locked into place. Release of the latch permits the platform and wheels to be automatically moved to the collapsed, storage position and permits one of the frame sections to be pivoted downwardly to a collapsed position.
