LIGHT-WEIGHTED LUGGAGE
A light-weighted luggage includes a flexible fabric outer bag having a front panel, a back panel, a top panel, a bottom panel, two opposing side panels, a first reinforced carrying handle located on the top panel and a second reinforced carrying handle located on one side panel, a hard plastic bottom frame plate attached to the inner surface of the bottom panel of the outer bag, a hard plastic back frame plate attached to the inner surface of the back panel of the outer bag and connected to the bottom frame plate and having a plurality of openings, wheel assemblies provided at the bottom side of the bottom panel of the outer bag, and a handle assembly joined to the back panel of the outer bag. Thus, the light-weighted luggage has the characteristics of simple structural design, high structural strength, light weight and low manufacturing cost.
1 . A light-weighted luggage, comprising:
an outer bag made of a flexible sheet material, said outer bag comprising a front panel, a back panel, a top panel, a bottom panel, two opposing side panels, a first reinforced carrying handle located on said top panel and a second reinforced carrying handle located on one said side panel;
a bottom frame plate made of a hard plastic sheet member and attached to an inner surface of said bottom panel of said outer bag;
a back frame plate made of a hard plastic sheet member and attached to an inner surface of the back panel of said outer bag and connected to said bottom frame plate, said back frame having a plurality of openings;
at least one wheel assembly provided at a bottom side of said bottom panel of said outer bag; and
a handle assembly joined to said back panel of said outer bag for allowing the user to pull the light-weighted luggage on the floor.
2 . The light-weighted luggage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said back frame plate has a top side thereof curving forwards and terminating into a top rim that is attached to a part of an inner surface of said top panel of said outer bag.
3 . The light-weighted luggage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first reinforced carrying handle comprises a narrow, elongated handle strip having two distal ends respectively affixed to said top panel of said outer bag, and two reinforcing members respectively wrapped about two opposite long sides of said handle strip.
4 . The light-weighted luggage as claimed in claim 3 , wherein each said reinforcing member comprises a flexible plastic tube and a metal wire rod surrounded by said flexible plastic tube.
5 . The light-weighted luggage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said second reinforced carrying handle comprises a narrow, elongated handle strip having two distal ends thereof respectively affixed to one said side panel of said outer bag, and two reinforcing members respectively wrapped about two opposite long sides of the handle strip.
6 . The light-weighted luggage as claimed in claim 5 , wherein each said reinforcing member comprises a flexible plastic tube and a metal wire rod surrounded by said flexible plastic tube.
7 . The light-weighted luggage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first carrying handle comprises two fabric straps stitched to said top panel of said outer bag, and a grip connected between said two fabric straps.
8 . The light-weighted luggage as claimed in claim 7 , wherein each said fabric strap of said first carrying handle has two distal ends respectively stitched to said top panel of said outer bag and a free middle part connected to one of two distal ends of said grip.
9 . The light-weighted luggage as claimed in claim 7 , wherein each said fabric strap of said first carrying handle has one end thereof stitched to said top panel of said outer bag and an opposite end thereof connected to one of two distal ends of said grip.
10 . The light-weighted luggage as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said second carrying handle comprises two fabric straps stitched to said top panel of said outer bag, and a grip connected between said two fabric straps.
11 . The light-weighted luggage as claimed in claim 10 , wherein each said fabric strap of said second carrying handle has two distal ends respectively stitched to the associating side panel of said outer bag and a free middle part connected to one of two distal ends of said grip.
12 . The light-weighted luggage as claimed in claim 10 , wherein each said fabric strap of said second carrying handle has one end thereof stitched to said top panel of said outer bag and an opposite end thereof connected to one of two distal ends of said grip.
