Backpack with detachable wheels

Abstract

The present invention relates to backpacks, particularly for use by children and young adults. The backpacks are normally used to transport books and other educational materials to and from educational facilities, such as schools. A plurality of wheels are secured to the bottom or lower portion of the backpack. In a preferred embodiment, the wheels are attached to a frame which is attachable to and removable from the backpack. The wheels and frame are stored on the backpack when not in use, such as when the child is in school. The wheels permit the backpack to be rolled behind a user rather than be carried by the user on their back. Rolling of the backpack avoids physical injuries resulting from carrying the backpacks on the user's back.

Benefits of technology

[0011]The present invention relates to backpacks, particularly for use by children and young adults. The backpacks are normally used to transport books and other educational materials to and from educational facilities, such as schools. A plurality of wheels are secured to the bottom or lower portion of the backpack. In a preferred embodiment, the wheels are attached to a frame which is attachable to and removable from the backpack. The wheels and frame are stored on the backpack when not in use, such as when the child is in school. The wheels permit the backpack to be rolled behind a user rather than be carried by the user on their back. Rolling of the backpack avoids physical injuries resulting from carrying the backpacks on the user's back.

[0012]Accordingly, it is an objective of the instant invention to provide a backpack that can be readily transported by rolling along a surface or the ground rather than being carried on a user's back.

[0014]It is yet another objective of the instant invention to provide a backpack which includes a plurality of readily removable and attachable wheels. The wheels can be readily removed and attached by young children.

Problems solved by technology

There is no mechanism to readily detach and reattach the base member to the backpack.

The base and wheels are not readily detachable and attachable from the backpack.

The base and wheels are not readily detachable and attachable to the suitcase.

However, the base member and wheels are not readily detachable and attachable to the backpack.

While the wheels are detachable from the backpack the axel and base on which the axel is mounted is not removable from the backpack.
