Abstract

A wheeled carrying apparatus includes a handle frame rotatable relative to a standing frame between a first and a second position, a wheel mount pivotally connected with the standing frame, a wheel mount latch adapted to lock and unlock the wheel mount with respect to the standing frame, an actuating assembly coupling the wheel mount latch to the handle frame so that the wheel mount latch is movable to engage and disengage the wheel mount in response to a rotation of the handle frame, and a release mechanism including an operating part that is coupled to the actuating assembly via a cable assembly. The cable assembly includes a flexible part configured to stretch or loosen as the handle frame rotates between the two positions, the operating part being operable to cause the wheel mount latch to disengage from the wheel mount when the handle frame is in the first position.
