Abstract
Wheeled luggage having a container of soft fabric adapted for stacking with other similar containers such as suitcases or the like. The container has at least three wheels mounted on the bottom to provide stability when rolled over a supporting surface. A selected pair of wheels extend beyond the rear periphery of the container so that the container may be pulled in a tilted position as well as pulled along on the wheels. The non-selected wheel is swiveled so that the suitcase may be easily maneuvered when it is pulled along the supporting surface in a non-tilted position. A handle device may be either a leash-type strap detachably connected to a connection at one end of the container and/or a rigid handle may be telescopically arranged on the container with or without a pivot. A pouch may be provided on the container for insertably receiving and storing the strap.
