A trolley-style suitcase usable as a seat comprises is a rear frame member, a rear compartment 108 in which a reversibly deployable seat unit 202 the seat unit may be stowed, and two runners, each having a fixed part attached to the rear frame member and a moveable part attached to the seat unit by means of a pivot arrangement. When the seat unit is stowed the seat unit is pivoted so as to be in a vertical position with the moveable part of the runners retracted inside the fixed part and when the seat unit is deployed the moveable part of the runners is extended from within the fixed part of the runners so that the seat unit may be lifted out of its compartment until such point where the pivot unit allows the seat to be rotated into a horizontal position for use. The seat unit may have two indentations shaped to fit the contours of a user's posterior and a pair of support feet 302. In use, the suitcase allows the user to sit when spending time in a queue, such as when in an airport. |
