In this way, it is possible, even with a full suitcase, the sometimes great distances in train stations, airports or the like. Comparatively quickly to cope with, even if the achievable driving speed will only be in exceptional cases as high as that which you have also been able to achieve recently popular scooters, mini scooters or kickboards.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention results when the footboard is connected to the device at its front end so as to be pivotable about a horizontal axis. When not in use, it can then be pivoted back into its rest position from its folded-down use position, in which it rests on a rear or underside of the transport device. In this position of the running board, the case or the like. can be easily stowed away in a luggage net or a luggage rack or pulled in a conventional manner by the user.
  • the footboard is detachably connected to the device so that it can be completely dismantled when it is not needed.
  • this configuration it is also possible to use one and the same footboard for several suitcases, for example those of different sizes, i.e. the user can choose from two or more suitcases the right size for his luggage and then connect the footboard to the selected suitcase.
  • the top of the running board can be pivoted against a rear side of the device in a substantially flat arrangement, so that it hardly protrudes from the rear side and takes up little space in the rest position.
  • the transport device is provided with a releasable locking device which secures the running board in its contact position, it is ensured that the running board cannot inadvertently swing down into its position of use if the transport device is pulled behind the user, for example in a conventional manner.
  • the locking devices direction can have at least one in the area of the articulated connection between the device and footboard, the two parts in the folded position of the footboard locking latch.
  • the locking device has a remote release mechanism with which the locking device can be unlocked from the top of the device. It is then not necessary for the user of the transport device to bend over to release the lock and to fold the footboard down.

  • the transport rollers and / or the additional roller are solid rubber or plastic rollers with ball bearings, as is customary in the case of so-called “kickboards", small rollers or also in “inline skates” are.
  • the running board can be part of a kick scooter which has a roller arrangement with a steering or balance bar arranged at the front end of the running board, the running board being detachable after being uncoupled from the roller arrangement or together with it can be connected to the transport device.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the running board can not only be used together with the case or the transport frame for luggage, but can also be used with the roller arrangement as a conventional mini-scooter or kickboard when the destination is reached and the actual case does not have to be transported ,
  • the footboard has at its front end articulated on the device a telescopic device for lengthening or shortening the distance of the footboard from the device.
  • the length of the running board can be changed with such a telescopic device and thus not only optimally adjusted to the size of the respective user, but the running board can also be pushed together to the smallest possible extent when it is in its rest position on the Back of the case o. the like is folded. It is thus possible to provide suitcases with only small dimensions, which are also permitted as hand luggage in airplanes, with a footboard without this protruding above the edge of the case in its folded state. It is also possible to use the same footboard construction for different suitcase sizes, which is particularly advantageous for manufacturing and economic reasons.
  • the telescopic device consists in a particularly simple and therefore inexpensive, but nevertheless stable design essentially of at least two tubular elements which can be pushed into one another.
  • the telescopic device is preferably provided with locking means which then have to be unlocked to pull the footboard in or out.

  • Fig. 4 shows the subject of Fig. 1 in a rear view
  • FIG. 5 shows the object of FIG. 4 with the footboard pivoted upward into the rest position
  • Fig. 6 shows a modified embodiment of the transport device according to the invention in a representation corresponding to Fig. 1.
  • the transport device 10 essentially consists of a roller case 11 with two transport rollers 13 arranged on the outside on a lower transverse side 12 and a handle 15 which can be pulled out on the upper transverse side 14, as well as with a footboard 16 which is between the two transport rollers 13 is articulated to the rear 17 of the case 11.
  • the footboard 16 has at its rear end 18 an additional roller 19 which is slightly smaller in diameter than the two transport rollers 13 and which is covered by a protective plate 20.
  • the footboard 16 is detachably connected between the two transport rollers 13 near the lower transverse side 12 on a cross strut 22 of a tubular frame 23 with a quick-release fastener 24.
  • the tubular frame 23, in the two upright longitudinal struts 25 of which the handle 15 is also inserted and pushed out, is integrated into the case 11 on the rear side 17 thereof in a manner similar to known roller cases.
  • the footboard shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 or 6 it can be pivoted about a substantially vertical axis 26 relative to the then slightly inclined roller case, so that a user can drive the device according to the invention in a manner similar to a scooter , where he places one of his feet on the running board and pushes himself with the other foot and can steer the vehicle by limited lateral pivoting of the handle in the direction of arrows 27 (Fig. 3).
  • the device thus allows rapid movement with the luggage contained in the case at airports, train stations or the like.
  • the footboard can be pivoted upward about the lower cross strut 22 into the rest position, which is shown in FIGS. 2 and 5.
  • the running board rests essentially flat on the back of the case.
  • the additional roller fits into a recess 28 adapted to its shape and size on the back of the case and is covered by a protective element which prevents the user from coming into direct contact with the additional roller and thereby soiling his clothing.
  • the protective element consists of the mudguard 20, which is pivotally mounted about the axis of the additional roller and, against the action of a spring (not shown), of a stop element arranged next to the recess 28 and a mating element on the mudguard laterally attached adjustment element is pivoted into the protective position which can best be seen in FIG. 2 when the running board assumes its rest position and surrounds the additional roller 19 in the recess 28.
  • a locking device 29 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, consists of a locking toggle 31 arranged on an upper cross strut 30 of the tubular frame 23 and an elongated hole 32 arranged in the running board 16 exists, through which the locking toggle 31 reaches in a first position when the footboard is folded up, in order to then be pivoted by the user by 90 °, so that its two outer locking surfaces lie against the underside of the footboard.
  • An alternate embodiment of a locking mechanism is indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 4.
  • This consists essentially of a pull ring 39 accessible on the upper transverse side, which is connected via two Bowden cables 40, 41 running inside the case to two safety catches, not shown, arranged laterally on the joint 22, 24, which are spring-loaded and the footboard in it keep the folded position locked.
  • the user can simply pull the pull ring up, whereby the safety catches are moved by the Bowden cables against the action of the retaining springs into their release position, in which the footboard can be swung down.
  • a pivot angle limiter 35 is provided for the case, which only allows the footboard to pivot relative to the case in a limited angular range which is approximately 80 °.

These rollers allow a very comfortable gliding with the transport device on level roads. It can be seen that the connection of the footboard to the wheeled case, designed in the manner of a universal joint, allows it to be maneuvered very easily and is also easy to drive around suddenly occurring obstacles. The connection of the footboard to the case by means of a quick-release fastener also allows the footboard to be completely removed from the case and either connected to another case of larger or smaller dimensions or operated with a separate roller arrangement with a steering or balance bar, i.e. like one known scooter with two or three wheels, which can be used for getting around without having to take the case with you. The roller arrangement used can be collapsible ' and thus find space in the case itself.
  • the modified embodiment shown in FIG. 6 corresponds in many design features to the embodiment according to FIG. 1; Corresponding features were therefore provided with the same reference symbols, and a repetition of the description thereof is omitted here.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 6 differs from the first embodiment essentially in that the footboard 16 at its front end 21, which is articulated on the device, has a telescopic device 42 for lengthening or shortening the distance of the footboard from the device 10 or the transport rollers 13 of the roller case 11.
  • This telescopic device consists of two telescoping pipe pieces 43 and 44, of which the first raw piece 43 is hingedly connected at its front end to the lower cross strut 22 via the closure 24, while the other pipe piece 44, whose inner diameter is connected to the outer diameter of the first raw piece is adapted, is attached to the footboard 16 so that it is aligned with its longitudinal axis.
  • the first pipe section 43 is received in the second pipe section 44 so as to be longitudinally displaceable and can be locked in position by means of a clamping screw 45.
  • footboards of the same size can be used for suitcases of different sizes, since the possibility of inserting the board even with small suitcases ensures that when the footboard is folded in, it does not protrude beyond the upper transverse side 14.
  • the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown and described, but many changes and additions are conceivable without leaving the scope of the invention.
  • the transport device it is by no means necessary for the transport device to have a suitcase, as in the preferred exemplary embodiment, but it can also simply consist of the running board with a transport frame connected to it, which has a lower, forwardly projecting wing on which a piece of luggage is placed , for example a suitcase or other objects to be transported such as beverage crates or the like. parked and, if possible, secured with a belt, so that they can be transported quickly in a kick-rolling manner.
