Abstract
A luggage case is constructed from four flat extruded plastic beams having ribs on one surface, and four inside corner pieces that include tongues extending into the recesses defined by the ribs. Fabric fits over the frame thus provided. Exterior corner pieces overlie the corners of the fabric and are attached to the inner corner pieces. The corner pieces extend the full width of the case to support the fabric. Wheels may be provided to allow the case to be pulled. Cases of different sizes are produced by cutting a plastic extrusion to form beams of different lengths. The same corner pieces are used for cases of all sizes.
