ROLLER MECHANISM FOR CONTAINER OR CART

摘要

A suitcase has first rollers mounted thereon to at least partially support the suitcase when in an upright position and to enable rolling movem ent of the suitcase across a surface. The first end of an arm is pivotally mounted to arigid body portion of the suitcase. Second rollers a re mounted about adjacent to the second end of the arm to enable rolling movement of the suitcase across the surface. A first link is pivotally mounted to the rigid body portion, and a second li nk is pivotally mounted to the first link and the arm. The arm is alternately retr actable to a retracted position about adjacent to a rear panel of the suitcase, and dep loyable to a deployed position spaced outwardly from the rear panel. The first and seco nd rollers cooperate to fully support the suitcase when the second rollers are deployed and the suitcase is in a rolling position. A push/pull handle is mounted on the suitcase to enable a user to roll the suitcase across the surface.
