DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment. In a bag body 1 with casters as shown in FIG. 1, a caster mounting portion is provided with a seat plate 3 of the caster 2 as shown in FIG. The storage body 4 is provided with a concave portion 5 for storing the caster 2 at the center portion, and a flange portion 6 on the peripheral edge of the concave portion 5 and an inverted concave cap 7 covering the back surface of the concave portion 5 are joined together to make a bag. The claw 1 is fixed to the main body 1, and is hung on four peripheral edges of a seat plate 3 that rotatably supports a bearing 9 that supports a roller 8 on a vertical support shaft 10.
1, a pin 12 attached to the recess 5 of the housing 4 (by bending the claw 11 on the back surface of the recess 5) and supported through the center of the vertical support shaft 10 A fork 14 which is formed by providing a flange 13 on the upper surface of the cap 7 and penetrating the pin 12 from the lower surface of the flange 13 has a vertical side 15 integrated with the other end and a horizontal support shaft 16 integrated with a bending point. The horizontal support shaft 16 is supported at both ends by a bearing 18 fixed to the cap 7 at one end thereof, and one end of a spring 19 externally fitted to the pin 12 is engaged with the upper surface of the flange 13. The other end of the spring 19 is engaged with the inner surface of the top of a closed cylindrical guide case 20 to guide the fork 14 from an open end to a groove 21 which is notched to a required height. Mounting seat 2
2 and a receiving plate 23 erected on the cap 7
One end of a Bowden wire 25 to which an outer tube 24 is fixed is fixed to the vertical side 15 of the link 17, and the other end is connected to FIG.
As shown in (1), a support is fixed to a U-shaped mounting bracket 27 projecting from a handle 26, and the other end of the outer tube 24 is disposed at both ends of the handle 26 to guide the mounting bracket 27 so as to be able to move in and out. It is fixed inside one of the bodies 28. Further, an undulating leg 29 is hung down at an end of the handle 26, and a lower end of the leg 29 is joined to a corner 30 between the bag body 1 and the support 28 in front of a support point of the leg 29 by the handle 26. , The retracted end of the Bowden wire 25 is fixed, and conversely, the lower end of the leg 29 is turned down toward the lower surface of the handle 26 so that the retracted end can be released. As described above, the fixing and releasing means for fixing and releasing the drawn-in end of the Bowden wire 25 is provided on the upper surface of the support body 28 for retaining and supporting the handle 26 as shown in FIG. A fork 33 that penetrates a long hole 31 and that hangs on the lower surface of a stopper 32 in the long hole 31.
And the stopper 32 is slidably guided on the upper surface of the support 28 by a holding piece 34 joined to the fork 33, and the Bowden wire 25 inserted through the fork 33 is guided.
Is fixed to one end of an oval ring 35, and the other end of the ring 35 is movably engaged with a flat U-shaped mounting bracket 27 protruding from a handle 26. Therefore, when the handle 26 is pulled up, the Bowden wire 25 is pulled in through the ring 35, the pin 12 is pulled up through the link 17, and the pin 12 is separated from the peripheral surface of the roller 8, and the roller 8 It is in a state where it can be rotated lightly. In this state, if the stopper 32 is pushed upward, the fork 33 is locked at a position where it contacts the lower end of the ring 35. Therefore, even if the handle 26 is released, the mounting bracket 27 integrated with the handle 26 moves inside the ring 35. The ring 35 is stopped by the fork 33, and eventually the Bowden wire 25 integral with the ring 35 is positioned at its retracted end and the pin 1
2 is maintained. Then, when the stopper 32 is pressed down from this state, the Bowden wire 25 is pulled down to the lower end in contact with the fork 33 by the pressing force of the spring 19, and at the same time, the pin 12 of the roller 8 The travel bag a is fixed by being pressed against the peripheral surface and brought into a braking state to increase the frictional resistance with the floor surface.

The travel bag a thus configured controls the rollers 8 of the four casters 2 so that the rollers 8 can be fixed and released freely for one caster 2. Paying attention to the time, that is, if the handle 8 is lifted up, the roller 8 of the caster 2 is brought into a lightly rotating state, the transporting labor becomes light, and if the released state is locked, Toride 26
It is possible to carry the vehicle lightly simply by adding a hand without lifting it, and when the lock is released, the traveling bag a is not moved by a slight vibration or external force. As shown in FIG. 5, if a recessed hole 36 having a diameter capable of fitting the pin 12 at a required pitch is provided on the peripheral surface of the roller 8, the roller 8 is completely engaged with the pin 12 at the time of locking. It becomes impossible to rotate, and can be fixed more firmly.

[0009]

As described above, according to the travel bag of the present invention, when carrying with the handle, or in the unlocked state, only the hand is attached to the handle, so that it can be carried lightly as in the conventional case. When moving on a vehicle or transporting on a trolley by releasing the handle, the pin automatically locks the roller on the caster, so it does not move with a slight vibration or external force and is fixed. It is held and has the effect of being able to be transported safely with a small amount of labor without unnecessary labor or measures to prevent slipping.
