<p>The handle (16) for a luggage case (10) has two end portions (18, 20) and a rigid portion extending substantially across the top side (12) of the case (10) between two ends (44, 46) of the top side (12) when in a first position. One end (18) of the handle (16) is pivotably attached to one end (46) of the top side (12) of the case (10). The other end (20) of the handle (16) is securable to the other end (44) of the top side (12) of the case (10). When the handle (16) is in a first position it enables a user to lift and carry the case (10). The securable end (20) of the handle (16) may also be released and positioned at substantially greater distance from the case (10) than the other end (18) for engagement by a user for dragging the case (10) along the ground while allowing the user to maintain a relatively upright position. Wheels (36, 38) attached to the case (10) define a plane along the ground.</p> |
