Motorized self-lifting luggage system for easy loading

Abstract

A Motorized Self-Lifting Suitcase (MSLS) system-addresses the common difficulty of loading heavy luggage into elevated compartments, such as car trunks and train storage spaces designed to fit within standard cabin baggage dimensions. The MSLA system features a suitcase body with a telescopic lift rod powered by a motor and a battery. When the user activates the suitcase body by pressing a button switch, the motor engages a gear mechanism that lowers the telescopic lift rod, raising the suitcase body to the desired height. An integrated hourglass spring assists in the smooth extension of a telescopic part, ensuring stability during operation. After loading is complete, the telescopic lift rod can be manually retracted and securely locked in place with a snap lock mechanism, promoting portability and convenience.

1 . A Motorized Self-Lifting Suitcase (MSLS) system, comprising:
 a suitcase body having a central shaft vertically disposed of therein;   a telescopic lift rod configured to be installed within the central shaft, wherein the telescopic lift rod is extendable from a collapsed position to a height sufficient to lift the suitcase body to approximately 30 inches;   a motor operatively connected to a gear wheel, wherein the gear wheel is configured to engage with a gear teeth fixed on the telescopic lift rod;   a battery electrically connected to the motor to provide power for operation;   a button switch mounted on the suitcase body, wherein actuation of the button switch powers the motor to drive the telescopic lift rod upward through engagement of the gear wheel and the gear teeth, thereby elevating the suitcase body;   an hourglass spring configured to position within telescopic lift rod to facilitate an extension of a telescoped part of the telescopic lift rod during upward movement;   a snap lock located at the bottom of the suitcase body to manually secure the telescopic lift rod in a collapsed position after operation; and   a slit formed along the side of the central shaft to allow engagement of the gear teeth with the gear wheel.   
     
     
         2 . The MSLS system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the telescopic lift rod in a collapsed position measures 21 inches in length, such that the telescopic lift rod is dimensioned to fit within the standard height of a trolley cabin baggage of 21.6 inches. 
     
     
         3 . The MSLS system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the telescoped part of the telescopic lift rod is configured to extend an additional 12 inches during operation, with 2 inches exposed for mechanical engagement. 
     
     
         4 . The MSLS system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the suitcase body is configured to allow the elevated suitcase to be pushed into the boot of a vehicle upon reaching the preferred height. 
     
     
         5 . The MSLS system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the motor is configured to rotate the gear wheel clockwise upon activation, thereby driving the telescopic lift rod downward to accomplish upward movement of the suitcase body. 
     
     
         6 . The MSLS system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the telescopic lift rod is manually retracted after use and secured using the snap lock. 
     
     
         7 . The MSLS system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the MSLS system is configured to enable hands-free lifting of the suitcase body to a vehicle's boot level, simplifying storage and transport.
