Abstract
An article of luggage comprises a main body provided with an upper handle for gripping and carrying the article of luggage, and with lower wheels. It is further provided with an extendible towing member, for towing the article of luggage on the wheels, this member being slidably mounted between a retracted inoperative position and an extended operative position. The whole body of the main handle forms part of said extendible towing member, so that the whole main handle acts also as towing handle of the article of luggage when the towing member is in its extended position.
