Abstract
Abstract A collapsible suitcase carrier for transporting suitcases and the like. The carrier is provided with a dolly which includes an elongated L-shaped supporting bracket provided with a pair of wheels. An elongated handle is removably attached to the dolly, and the handle may be formed in sections which may be taken apart or telescoped to reduce the length of the handle to a compact size. The carrier also includes a strap, both ends of which are attached to the dolly. The supporting bracket is adapted to receive an edge of the suitcase to be carried, and the suitcase is further supported by the handle. The suitcase is firmly held against the supporting bracket and handle by passing the strap around the suitcase and securing the strap to the handle.
