System for an adaptable handle to transport wheeled luggage

Abstract

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system for transporting wheeled luggage using a handle which adapts to the natural position of a user's hand, arm, wrist, or elbow, decreasing strain on a user pushing or pulling the wheeled luggage. In an embodiment, an adaptable handle may rotate and pivot. The adaptable handle may pivot by pivotably connecting a cross bar to a first retractable shaft and a second retractable shaft. The first retractable shaft and second retractable shaft may be inserted into a crossbar and the crossbar may pivot around the retractable shafts. The adaptable handle may be rotatably connected to the cross bar allowing the adaptable handle to rotate.

1 ) A system for transporting wheeled luggage using an adaptable handle, said system comprising: 
 a first retractable shaft having a first end and a second end, said first end being attached to said wheeled luggage;    a second retractable shaft having a first end and a second end, said first end being attached to said wheeled luggage; and    a cross bar, said cross bar being pivotably connected to the second end of said first retractable shaft and the second end of said second retractable shaft.    a handle assembly, said handle assembly being rotatably connected to the cross bar for allowing the adaptable handle to rotate.    
   
   
       2 ) The system of  claim 1 , wherein said cross bar is pivotably connected to the second end of said first retractable shaft by inserting the second end of said first retractable shaft into a first end of said cross bar, and said cross bar is pivotably connected to the second end of said second retractable shaft by inserting the second end of said second retractable shaft into a second end of said cross bar.  
   
   
       3 ) The system of  claim 1 , wherein said cross bar is pivotably connected to the second end of said first retractable shaft by inserting a first end of said cross bar into the second end of said first retractable shaft, and said cross bar is pivotably connected to the second end of said second retractable shaft by inserting a second end of said cross bar into the second end of said second retractable shaft.  
   
   
       4 ) The system of  claim 1 , wherein said cross bar has a plurality of pivot slots.  
   
   
       5 ) The system of  claim 4 , further comprising a plurality of roll pins passing through said pivot slots and said retractable shafts to restrict said pivot movement of said adaptable handle to less than 360 degrees.  
   
   
       6 ) The system of  claim 5 , wherein in said pivot movement is restricted to approximately 180 degrees.  
   
   
       7 ) The system of  claim 1 , wherein said handle assembly is rotatably connected to said cross bar by a shoulder screw.  
   
   
       8 ) The system of  claim 1 , wherein said handle assembly comprises two U bars being partially inserted into a plurality of handle assembly cross bars.  
   
   
       9 ) A system for transporting wheeled luggage using an adaptable handle, said system comprising: 
 a cross bar for allowing the adaptable handle to pivot, said cross bar having a first end and a second end;    a first retractable shaft, a portion of said first retractable shaft being inserted into said first end of said cross bar;    a second retractable shaft, a portion of said second retractable shaft inserted into said second end of said cross bar; and    a handle assembly, said handle assembly being rotatably connected to the cross bar for allowing the adaptable handle to rotate.    
   
   
       10 ) The system of  claim 9 , wherein said cross bar has a plurality of pivot slots.  
   
   
       11 ) The system of  claim 10 , further comprising a plurality of roll pins passing through said pivot slots and said retractable shafts to restrict said pivot movement of said adaptable handle to less than 360 degrees.  
   
   
       12 ) The system of  claim 11 , wherein in said pivot movement is restricted to approximately 180 degrees.  
   
   
       13 ) The system of  claim 9 , wherein said handle assembly is rotatably connected to said cross bar by a shoulder screw.  
   
   
       14 ) The system of  claim 9 , wherein said handle assembly comprises two U bars being partially inserted into a plurality of handle assembly cross bars.  
   
   
       15 ) A system for transporting wheeled luggage using an adaptable handle, said system comprising: 
 a first retractable shaft having a first end and a second end, said first end being attached to said wheeled luggage;    a second retractable shaft having a first end and a second end, said first end being attached to said wheeled luggage; and    a cross bar, said cross bar being pivotably connected to the second end of said first retractable shaft and the second end of said second retractable shaft, said connection allowing pivot movement of said adaptable handle.    
   
   
       16 ) The system of  claim 15 , further comprising a handle assembly, said handle assembly being rotatably connected to the cross bar for allowing the adaptable handle to rotate.  
   
   
       17 ) The system of  claim 15 , wherein said cross bar has a plurality of pivot slots.  
   
   
       18 ) The system of  claim 17 , further comprising a plurality of roll pins passing through said pivot slots and said retractable shafts to restrict said pivot movement of said adaptable handle to less than 360 degrees.  
   
   
       19 ) The system of  claim 18 , wherein in said pivot movement is restricted to approximately 180 degrees.  
   
   
       20 ) The system of  claim 15 , wherein said handle assembly is rotatably connected to said cross bar by a shoulder screw.
