Feet for wheeled luggage

Abstract

Provided is a support structure on a bottom of wheeled luggage. The structure comprises a pair of front feet, and a pair of rear feet proximate wheels. All feet have the same height. The wheels are disposed above the supporting surface when the luggage is in a vertical position. Either rear foot is disposed between the wheels in one embodiment. One rear foot is disposed between one wheel mount and one front foot at one bottom side and the other rear foot is disposed between the other wheel mount and the other front foot at the other opposing bottom side in the other embodiment. The luggage is able to maintain its stability in a vertical position with the luggage being supported by the feet and the wheels being disposed above the supporting surface.

1 . A support structure mounted on a bottom of a piece of luggage having two wheel mounts disposed at two rear corners and two rear wheels each rotatably coupled to the corresponding wheel mount, the support structure comprising: 
 a pair of front feet disposed on the bottom of the luggage proximate two front corners thereof; and    a pair of rear feet disposed on the bottom of the luggage proximate the wheels,    wherein either front foot has the same height as either rear foot and the wheels are disposed above the supporting surface by a predetermined distance when the luggage is in a vertical position.    
   
   
       2 . The support structure of  claim 1 , wherein either rear foot is disposed on a bottom of the luggage between the corresponding wheel mount and the corresponding rear foot.  
   
   
       3 . The support structure of  claim 1 , wherein either rear foot is disposed on a bottom of the wheel mount and is disposed between the wheels.  
   
   
       4 . The support structure of  claim 1 , wherein one rear foot is disposed between one wheel mount and one front foot at a first bottom side and the other rear foot is disposed between the other wheel mount and the other front foot at a second bottom side opposing the first bottom side.  
   
   
       5 . The support structure of  claim 3 , wherein either rear foot is integrally formed with the corresponding wheel mount or releasably coupled thereto.  
   
   
       6 . The support structure of  claim 4 , wherein either rear foot is integrally formed with the corresponding wheel mount or releasably coupled thereto.
