Abstract

A luggage includes a first case, a second case, and a connecting portion. The connecting portion has a pair of teeth rows connected to the first case and the second case respectively and two sliders engage the teeth rows. The sliders are moved to make the teeth rows mesh together or separate. When the sliders are moved to separate the teeth rows and they are moved to the same side of the second case, the meshed section of the teeth rows becomes a hinge of the second case for opening and closing the luggage. As a result, the second case is capable of being opened in all directions.
