<p>A bracket assembly (50) for mounting to a piece of expandable luggage has a base (110), first and second sliding members (112, 114), and a lever (130). The base has slots (116, 118), and a plurality of recesses are (124, 126, 128) located between the slots and have a substantially flat sidewall (152). When the lever is in a locked position, a coupling portion (139) is positioned at least partially within one of the recesses, and the notch (138) engages the sidewall (152) preventing the lever and sliding members from moving parallel with the slot. When the lever is in an unlocked position, stopping pegs (133, 134) prevent the lever from rotating more than 180 degrees relative to the locked position, and the lever (130) and sliding members (112, 114) are free to move relative to the base (110) and translationally parallel with the slots. The lever and sliding members are moveable to and from a plurality of expansion positions.</p> |
