Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mobile transport device comprising a reception arrangement for a piece of luggage, a locomotion arrangement attached to said reception arrangement, a steering arrangement for directing said device.
- Such a device finds important applications, for example: in hospital settings, many objects must be transported such as medicines, computers, dressings etc., in travel, we often have to deal with heavy and cumbersome suitcases what happens at airports where connecting journeys can be very long.
- this known mobile device is therefore essentially constituted by a suitcase to which are attached means of locomotion and means of direction. The user is seated directly on his suitcase.
- a first drawback is that the suitcase supports an overload which is liable to deform it and, therefore, cause the objects it contains to settle.
- a second drawback is that the means of locomotion and direction create an additional weight load that the user must bear.
- the present invention aims to provide a device of the type mentioned in the preamble providing greater comfort to the user and overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks to a large extent.
- a device is remarkable in that the steering arrangement cooperates with a sliding assembly to move vis-à-vis the reception arrangement so as to put itself in the folded or deployed position .
- the advantage is obtained that the device is less bulky when not in use.
- An embodiment according to the invention according to which there is provided a bench arrangement for a user located between the reception arrangement and the management arrangement provides the advantage that the user can benefit from. a seated position without leaning on the luggage, which provides greater comfort.
- latching means are provided to maintain and allow the detachment of said baggage from the reception arrangement.
