An ergonomically designed piece of wheeled luggage for being transported by a user across a floor surface is disclosed. The wheeled luggage includes a luggage body (10) having at least a bottom surface (18), a back surface (16), and a top surface (24), the back surface intersecting both of the bottom the top surfaces, respectively, at least two spaced and parallel wheels (14) rotatably supported on the bottom surface of the body with a longitudinal axis extending through the wheels, the axis being parallel to the intersection of the back surface and the bottom surface of the body. The wheeled luggage also has a handle assembly (12) mounted on the body (10), the handle assembly including an elongate handle grip (32) for being grasped by the user when the wheeled luggage is rolled across the floor surface. The handle assembly (12) has a first retracted position in which the handle grip (32) is flush with the luggage body and a second extended position in which the handle grip extends for a selectively adjustable distance above the body and within which the handle grip, when grasped by the user, is positioned perpendicularly with respect to the axis of the wheels and substantially parallel to the floor surface. So constructed, the user may adopt a more natural position to pull such wheeled luggage, thereby increasing user comfort and reducing user fatigue.

Cette invention a trait à un élément ergonomique de bagage à roulettes conçu pour être tiré par son utilisateur sur un plancher. Ce bagage à roulettes comporte un corps constitué par au moins un fond, une face arrière et un dessus, la face arrière rejoignant tant le fond que le dessus, et au moins deux roulettes distinctes et parallèles montées rotatives sur le fond du corps avec un axe longitudinal s'étendant à travers elles, cet axe étant parallèle à l'intersection définie par la face arrière et le fond du corps. Ce bagage à roulettes est également pourvu d'un ensemble poignée monté sur le corps, lequel ensemble poignée comporte un élément de préhension pouvant être saisi par l'utilisateur lorsque le bagage roule sur un plancher. Cet ensemble poignée passe d'une position rétractée, dans laquelle l'élément de préhension rentre dans le corps, à une position en extension, dans laquelle il se déploie d'une longueur réglable de manière sélective au-dessus du corps, position dans laquelle, lorsque l'élément de préhension est saisi par l'utilisateur, cet ensemble poignée se trouve placé perpendiculairement à l'axe des roues et sensiblement parallèle au plancher. Cet agencement permet à l'utilisateur d'avoir une position plus naturelle lorsqu'il tire son bagage, ce qui augmente son confort et diminue sa fatigue.
