Abstract

A luggage case 20 comprises a main container 30 having a parallel piped shape and defining a rectangular block cavity 22. The container 30 includes six panel walls, including a base 40, a narrow rear wall 50, a narrow front wall 32, a wide side panel 34, and a closable upper lid panel 36, optionally comprising split lid panels and closed by a standard zip fastener (as is standard in the field) to the adjacent walls of the container 20, including an upper end wall 38. A base 40i shows the layout of the base 40, 40i, noting that the base 40i is much wider than the base 40. The base 40i includes a wheel base 42 comprising two sets of multi-directional wheels 44i and 44ii. Each wheel set 44i-ii includes a rigid, beam or rod 46i, ii providing a substantially rigid and non-axially compressible structure at each end of the base 40i. The structures 46i, ii may form part of a wheel base 42 frame or may be simply formed in the interior of the generally stiffly constructed base 40i.
