Description

  The present invention relates to a bag with a caster, often called a carry bag or a trolley bag.

  A cage with a caster is a cage having two to four casters (wheels) on the bottom surface, and even a heavy object can be easily transported by rotating the caster. When used outdoors, the caster naturally touches the road surface or the ground. Accordingly, dirt or dust adheres to the ground contact surface of the caster. In the case of a cage with casters having two casters and fixed support legs (usually two, but there may be one or more), the fixed support legs are also in contact with the road surface, ground, etc. It has a ground surface, and dirt and dust adhere to the ground contact surface.

  When a bag with a caster is not used as a bag with a caster, for example, when folded when not in use or used as a shoulder bag, a caster is retracted and accommodated to prevent discomfort and dirt (for example, patent documents) 1, 2).

  When people enter a Japanese house from outside, they usually take off their footwear such as shoes and enter the room. Entering the room without taking off your footwear is against the courtesy. However, when a guest person carries a bag with a caster, the guest person brings the bag with a caster into the room as necessary. When a heavy object is accommodated in a cage with casters, the casters are rolled even indoors. The dirt and dirt adhering to the caster will come into contact with the floor surface. In the case of a heel with a caster having a leg, when the heel is stationary and upright, the leg also contacts the floor surface.

  It is an unclean act against a courtesy for an outsider to roll a caster on which dirt or dirt adheres in the room. However, for example, a doctor carrying a medical machine or the like needs to carry a bag with a caster to a place where a person to be examined is, and may be too heavy to lift and carry.
