ORIGINAL
Name of Applicants: Actual Inventors: Agent and Address Chun-Te Chen and Ming-Chu Tsai Chun-Te Chen and Ming-Chu Tsai for Service: MADDERNS, 1 st Floor, 64 Hindmarsh Square, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia Invention Title: TROLLEY BAG The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to us.
TROLLEY BAG 1. Field of the Utility Model The present utility model relates to a trolley bag, and more particularly Sto a trolley bag that has a stand assembly capable of opening into a pushcart configuration. A person may push the trolley bag in the pushcart configuration for ease of transit and increased security whilst traveling.
2. Description of Related Art Traveling luggage cases are commonly used to load a number of articles when people travel. Because fully loaded luggage cases are too heavy for people to carry, trolley bags with wheels were developed. A conventional trolley bag comprises a case body, two front wheels, two rear wheels and a handle. The case body has a bottom. The front and rear wheels are mounted on the bottom to allow the trolley bag to move smoothly on the ground. The handle is retractably connected to the case body. When people carry the trolley bag, they grip the handle to pull the trolley bag behind them. When in motion, the trolley bag is inclined, causing the front wheels to lift and the rear wheels to remain in contact with a floor. Therefore the trolley bag is easier to move than a wheel-less suitcase. However, the person still mounting collars some of the weight on their arm.
When in use, the trolley bag follows behind the person and is not within their sight. Therefore, a dishonest person may be able to gain access to the bag to steal from or plant articles in the trolley bag.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present utility model provides a trolley bag to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
The main objective of the utility model is to provide a trolley bag that has a stand assembly cable of opening out into a pushcart configuration. A person may push the trolley bag in the pushcart configuration and keep the trolley bag within their sight to prevent tampering and only supplies a horizontal force to push the trolley bag.
A trolley bag has a bag body, a base, a handle assembly and a stand assembly. The base is mounted on the bag body and has four wheels. The handle assembly is connected to the bag body and has a handle. The stand assembly is connected to the base and the handle assembly and is capable of opening into a pushcart configuration. The person can utilize the trolley bag in the pushcart configuration to keep the baggage within their sight prevent access to dishonest persons and to ease transportation of heavy baggage.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the utility model will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Fig. I is a operational side view of a trolley bag in accordance with the present utility model being inclined and the handle extending out for a person to pull the trolley bag; Fig. 2 is an operational side view of the trolley bag in Fig. 1 with the stand assembly opened into a pushcart configuration; Fig. 3 is a rear view of the trolley bag in Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a partially enlarged side view of the stand assembly of the trolley bag in Fig. 1; and Fig. 5 is an operational side view of trolley bag in Fig. 1 showing a tray O at a base of the trolley bag extending to carry an extra bag.

With further reference to Fig. 5, the base (20) is connected securely to the bottom of the bag body (10) and has a front, two front wheels (25) and two rear wheels The base (20) may be hollow and have a tray The front and rear wheels (25) are mounted on the base (20) to keep the trolley bag upright and move smoothly on a floor. The tray (21) is retractably mounted in the front of the base may be extended to hold an external bag (90) and has a front and a stop (211). The stop (211) is mounted perpendicularly on the front of the tray (21) to keep the external bag (90) in the tray (21).
The handle assembly (30) is mounted on the rear of the bag body and has two outer brackets two inner bars (32) and a handle The outer brackets (31) are hollow and are mounted on the rear of the bag body respectively adjacent to the sides of the bag body (10) and each outer bracket (31) has an upper end and a lower end. The inner bars (32) are telescopically mounted respectively in the upper ends of the outer brackets (31) and each inner bar (32) has a handle end. The handle (33) is transversely connected between the handle ends of the inner bars When pulling the trolley bag, a person grips the handle (33) of the handle assembly (30) and the trolley bag is inclined, as shown in Fig. 1.
The stand assembly (50) is connected to the base (20) and the handle assembly is capable of opening into a pushcart configuration and has two legs two stand wheels two rear braces (53) and two front braces (54).

The top end of the leg (52) is connected pivotally to one of the outer brackets The stand wheels (56) are mounted rotatably on the bottom ends of the legs The rear braces (53) are connected respectively to the legs Each rear brace (53) has a front end and a rear end. The rear end of the rear brace (53) is connected pivotally to the bottom end of one of the legs The front braces (54) are connected respectively to the rear braces (53) and are connected respectively to the outer brackets Each front brace (54) has a front end and a rear end. The front end of the front brace (54) is connected pivotally to the lower end of one of the outer brackets The rear end of the front brace (54) is connected pivotally to the front end of one of the rear brace (53) to form a brace linkage.
With further reference to Fig. 4, the support (59) is connected between the outer brackets The mounting collar (51) is mounted on the support (59).
The connecting rod (57) serves as a pivot pin to pivotally connect the front braces (54) to the rear braces is connected to the front ends of the rear braces (53) and the rear ends of the front braces Accordingly, one rear brace (53) and the front brace (54) connected to the rear brace (53) may pivot with respect to each other. The activating rod (55) is connected to the connecting rod extends loosely and slidably through the mounting collar (51) and has a top end, a bottom end and a knob (551). The bottom end of the activating rod (55) is connected pivotally to the connecting rod The knob (551) is mounted on the top end of the activating rod The at least one clasp (58) is mounted on the rear of the bag body (10) and selectively clamps the connecting rod To open the stand assembly the user grips the knob (551) and pushes the activating rod (55) down and the connecting rod (57) moves down, forcing the rear and front braces (53, 54) to pivot with respect to each other into the brace linkage.
