They say that laziness is the engine of progress. This is how a cart wheel, a nail file, a fan, napkins for wiping glasses were invented, and in German supermarkets they sell grated potatoes and boiled beets - why not an invention? The inventions that take root in the world are those that are clear, simple and truly simplify our lives. So, the umbrella hat of one of the Chinese inventors did not catch on, but the suitcase on wheels won the respect of absolutely everyone. Today we cannot imagine our life without suitcases, suitcases and bags on wheels with retractable handles! Who came up with this and invented it?
History of the suitcase
Robert Plath invented the rolling suitcase. At the time, he was working as a pilot for Northwest Airlines. In 1988, in his garage in Boca Rayton, Florida, Pilot Plath attached two small furniture wheels purchased from a local hardware store to his favorite upright bag. He sewed a pocket onto the side of the bag, masking a retractable handle made from metal rods and tubes. The wide track of the two wheels ensured stable rolling even during sharp turns and made it possible to overcome fairly large obstacles.
Field (or flight) tests confirmed all the best qualities of Plat's idea. The pilots and flight attendants looked at the unusual design with undisguised surprise, which after some time grew into envy. A couple of days later, one of his colleagues approached Robert with a request to upgrade his bag (of course, not for free). Then another one. When the number of orders exceeded a dozen, Plat began giving his colleagues who brought him next customers “commissions” in the form of a $5 discount on their next purchase.
In 1989, Plath filed a patent application for a “travel bag equipped with wheels and a retractable handle,” which he called Rollaboard. That same year, Plath founded Travelpro, and in 1991, when patent number 4995487 was registered, he retired from the airline. Looking at the pilots and flight attendants easily rolling their bags along the airport aisles, passengers also began to wonder where they could buy this “miracle of technology.”
The demand was so high that in the first year of its existence, the Travelpro company sold $1.5 million worth of bags. And by 1999, when Plath retired and sold his stake in the company, sales amounted to $50 million. Robert Plath's invention changed the world of travel : Few people today go on a trip without a travel bag or suitcase on wheels.
Travelpro products have proven so popular that airlines have even been forced to increase the capacity of overhead bins on planes. The only ones who lost from their appearance were porters - today, the wheels built into a suitcase or bag do an excellent job of their hard work.
Suitcase of the future
Last year, a small company called Live Luggage from the English city of Hanley-on-Thames offered a truly revolutionary innovation in the field of luggage transportation - a suitcase on wheels with a built-in motor. Now any traveler will be able to move luggage weighing up to 30 kg, as if it were a small hand cart with three kilograms of luggage.
The suitcase moves at an average walking speed, and the battery charge will last for approximately a three-kilometer “run.” The PA-Case will be recharged through a device similar to a mobile phone charger.
Thanks to the special design of the handle and wheels, 85% of the weight of the load is transferred to the wheels of the bag, and not to the person’s hand. And the motors of the self-propelled device are hidden in the wheels. Currently, the estimated price of the product is 700 pounds, but as technology improves, the creators promise it will decrease.
Germany is a country of ideas
It’s good to be an inventor, invented toothpaste, paper for cigarettes or MP3-Player, patented it, sold the idea into production and live on the interest. Do you know who invented the dowel? In 1958, Artur Fischer invented the small plastic construction dowel, and now this dynasty numbers hundreds of millions and has more than 5,000 protected inventions.
Every nine minutes a new invention is registered in Germany. For example, in Munich alone, the Patentamt registers 60,000 inventions every year (www.dpma.de) The work of the Patentamt comes down to monitoring and checking the received idea: is it interesting, new or is it plagiarism?! More than 700 examiners at the Munich Patent Center test ideas and inventions every day. On average, every third idea receives a patent. But the path of an inventor is not at all easy. And the difficulty lies not in finding ideas and inventions, but in launching your invention into production. In addition, the inventor spends a lot of his own money on the invention and on obtaining a patent.
Many inventions are registered by their companies, such as: Siemens, Bosch, Daimler. But 10% of the total number of patent registrations are filed by ordinary people. At the same time, for some reason it so happened that there are more male inventors than female ones. Worldwide, only 5% of inventions are made by women.
In fact, anything can be patented: technical know-how, an idea for a new product, an improvement in technology, etc. Recently in Germany there was a show with inventions, the participants had to convince the jury in 30 seconds that their invention was the best and could be put into production. There were so many ideas: sweaters with long sleeves, replacement gloves, a children's alarm clock that helps a child brush his teeth correctly, a folding tripod for a camera, etc.
In fact, there are really a lot of new ideas in the world: scientists constantly come up with new medicines, invent robots, technology and energy resources. For example, Mitchell Joachim, Lara Greden and Javier Arbona from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a design for a small country house that needs to be grown rather than built.
According to the authors of the project, the creation of the house will begin with planting trees (elm, oak, dogwood). As the trees grow, the house's creators will intertwine and bind their branches. So, growing through each other and twisting repeatedly, the trees will form a vault. Thus, living walls and a roof should gradually grow, providing thermal insulation and shelter from rain (the final stage of construction is the addition of clay and straw to these walls for airtightness). Maybe we will soon live in such environmentally friendly houses, forget about swine flu and AIDS, and fly to the moon on weekends thanks to new discoveries and inventions?!

Many people on the planet dream of getting rich and are looking for various ways to do this. For this purpose, some begin to study business at universities, take courses and read various kinds of literature on this topic. If some money appears and the question arises where to invest it, then most people have a standard approach in this regard; open either a cafe, or a store, or a beauty salon, or a sauna. But in the history of business there are cases when people managed to make multimillion-dollar fortunes on seemingly trivial things. And the history of the suitcase is direct confirmation of this.
First suitcase
People, going on a long journey, tried to take with them only the most necessary things. Only these essentials often took up entire chests loaded into the cart. Of course, this was not entirely convenient, especially on a long journey. This would continue to this day until one person came up with the simple idea of creating a suitcase.
This man was Louis Vuitton, the son of a simple carpenter. A brief background is as follows. Louis Vuitton was born on August 4, 1821 in the French town of Jura. Even as a child, Louis learned to handle the tools of his father, who worked as a carpenter. At the age of fourteen, Vuitton went to Paris in search of a better life, and he walked all 400 kilometers that separated his hometown and the capital.
Arriving in Paris in 1837, Vuitton became an apprentice to a master chest maker, Mr. Marechal. Thanks to his “golden” hands, Louis quickly learned the technique of making travel chests. Soon his name was already heard among French bohemia. Thanks to expensive materials and quality finishing, Vuitton chests were a great success. In 1854, Louis Vuitton opened his first store, Louis Vuitton: Malletier a Pari. And after some time, the wife of Napoleon III, Eugenie de Montijo, signed up as a client of Vuitton. Even then, Louis Vuitton chests were made for the elite.
And finally, in 1858, Louis introduced his new product - a flat suitcase, which was called “Trianon”. This new suitcase was very light and airtight and could be opened from the side for the first time. Before him, suitcases were round in shape, opening at the top, and it was not possible to stack them during transportation, but Vuitton suitcases could simply be stacked one on top of the other and easily transported. This was the beginning of the creation of the suitcase that we are all accustomed to.
Demand for the new product instantly increased, not only in France, but throughout Europe. By 1885, Louis Vuitton opened its first store in London on the famous Oxford Street. Having entered the world stage, Vuitton began to mark each of its products with the inscription: “marque L. Vuitton deposee,” which, in essence, was a guarantee of the authenticity of the product.
As a result, today the Louis Vuitton brand is owned by the Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH) conglomerate, and is the most expensive brand in the fashion industry.
Wheels for a suitcase
Bernard David Sadow, the father of all modern suitcases on wheels, in the distant 70s could not even think that the success of his discovery would be so grandiose. Dozens of the largest American companies rejected his business idea, only to bite their elbows within a few years - after all, the idea cost millions.
In 1972, Bernard David Sadow, a humble employee of the United States Luggage company, became the owner of the patent for the first suitcase on wheels. One day Mr. and Mrs. Sadow were returning from vacation in Aruba. Barely breathing, they dragged two heavy suitcases to the Puerto Rican customs counter. Puffing and fanning themselves with tickets, they looked at their luggage with hatred. At that moment, a port worker with an extremely loaded cart walked easily past. And then a Thought with a capital T came into Mr. Sadow's head. Returning to his homeland, Sadow went to his father-in-law's factory, where he worked. Here, in one of the back rooms, he attached four wheels to the bottom of the suitcase, pulled a strap through the handle and rolled his invention into his father-in-law's office. The father-in-law cast a gloomy glance at the suitcase and stated what he had long suspected: “You are crazy.”
This did not bother the inventor one bit, and soon Bernard David Sadow received patent number 3,653,474 dated April 5, 1972. In the column “type of invention” it says: “rolling luggage”. Sadow goes to New York, where his know-how is one by one rejected by all the large and small luggage companies, until he is invited by the vice president of Macy's. “Rolling Luggage” was put into production. Mr. Sadow He was not satisfied with this: over the next 40 years, he patented another two dozen useful inventions, most of which were improvements in the construction and design of the suitcase.
Retractable suitcase handle
In the late 80s, the suitcase had another “father” - Northwest Airlines pilot Robert Plath, who created a suitcase not only with wheels, but also with a retractable handle.
In an attempt to make transporting things as easy as possible during constant flights, Robert screwed two small furniture wheels to his favorite vertical bag, and sewed a pocket to the side, masking the retractable metal handle. The design was amazingly comfortable. The flight attendants and pilots looked at the functional new thing with poorly concealed surprise, which after a couple of minutes quickly turned into genuine envy. A couple of days later, Robert was contacted by his first “client” - one of his colleagues asked to modernize his own bag. The pioneer was followed by other lovers of comfort. When the number of orders exceeded a dozen, Plat was not at a loss and began giving out S5 discounts on his next purchase to colleagues who referred their friends to him.
In 1989, Plath filed a patent application for a “travel bag with wheels and a retractable handle,” which was aptly named Rollaboard. That same year, Robert founded Travelpro and quit his job as a pilot, unable to cope with the enormously increased volumes. Looking at airline workers carrying their luggage with ease, numerous passengers also became Plat’s clients who wanted to get their hands on such a “miracle of technology” as quickly as possible.
The demand was so high that in the first year of its existence, the Travelpro company sold bags worth one and a half million dollars. And by 1999, when Plath had already retired, sales were fifty million a year.
Scooter suitcase
The author of this unique vehicle, created on the basis of an ordinary travel suitcase and powered by batteries, is an amateur inventor from China, Hi Liankai. A scooter-suitcase can carry two people, and the maximum weight of luggage should not exceed 7 kg. The unusual vehicle can travel at a maximum speed of 20 km/h. One battery charge is enough for a trip of 50 km. The invention is recent, so what the demand will be is still unknown.
Conclusion
There is only one conclusion that can be drawn from these stories. Be more attentive when you are confronted with a seemingly crazy idea. For example, here is another extremely crazy idea that eventually became in demand. In Belgium they came up with a suitcase for transporting money, which, if touched by a stranger, will immediately explode. The suicide suitcase is intended for use by banks and government agencies. So don’t be afraid of your ideas, even if they are stupid at first glance. Perhaps this is what will bring you success and wealth.
The story of the chest.
A serious Turkey is walking along the path,
He is carrying an iron chest on a cart.
The Cow runs towards you lightly:
“Tell me,” he shouts, “what is in the chest?”
- Sorry, I hardly know you.
Let me go, otherwise I’ll catch you with the chest.
But the Cow menacingly goes to the chest
and roars very sternly to the Turkey:
- Oh no! I won't leave here until
won't you tell me what's inside the chest...
Turkey still stands on the path.
The chest still lies on the cart.
And this Cow
didn't budge.
And what's in the chest?
still
unknown.
Vadim Alexandrovich Levin
Nowadays, when hearing the word “chest” or “chest”, many will remember exhibits of a local history museum or a detail of the furnishings seen in a film about village life of the century before last. Few people were lucky enough to see “live” an old grandmother’s chest, which contained “treasures” that were accessible to grandchildren only in the presence of the grandmother herself, and their extraction and examination turned into a fascinating story, almost a fairy tale, about the grandmother’s youth, which was difficult to believe.

This year, the founder and part-time half of The Chemodan Clan team announced that the era of experimental-abstract-oral hip-hop with elements of philosophical thought has come to an end. It is obvious that Louis will reach new heights - but for now, let’s remember the history of one of the most iconic rap groups in Russia.
While children on the Internet dream of returning to “their 2007,” I propose to move there to remember how the Chemodan project began and trace the metamorphoses the author’s universe experienced over the course of the decade. As Louis said in an interview, the trigger for taking up the microphone was dissatisfaction with what was happening with Russian rap at that time (a similar situation also gave the culture another talented performer, but that’s not about that now). Even on the first releases, where the tracks “Lyrics of the Homeless” and “National Treasure” were mixed with shocking phrases like “...monsters of hip-f*ck” and “...inter-leg cake”, Louis made it clear that the suitcase inside is larger than it seems from the outside .
On top of everything else, the nasal and at the same time impudent voice immediately confronted the listener with the fact: “I’m not from the ghetto, but from f*ck knows somewhere” (we are talking about the city of Belomorsk - a truly gloomy town with an unemployment rate of under 50%, and the surroundings give the impression of a kind of Silent Hill Russian edition), immediately making it clear that if you came for motivating, rainbow-colored songs, then you are definitely in the wrong place.
After an aperitif in the form of mixtapes and participation in the hip-hop.ru team battle, it was time for the debut album of the group, which at that time consisted of Dirty Louis and Mike Kruger. In addition to the fact that each verse of the first one could be parsed into quotes, the release was filled with such bombs as “Dreaming is harmful” and “Everyone dreams”, which became calling cards for the group (we especially note Vanich’s beatmaking talent).
Following it, the Central Administrative District label released the album “The Ministry of Health Warned,” replete with sharp, memorable punches. It is also worth noting that one of the tracks from the release ended up on the popular rap collection “Hip-Hop for Gourmets” in narrow circles, where it appeared next to such already prominent figures of hip-hop culture as Tandem Foundation, Slim, Cripple.
If on the first two albums the hero seems to be limited to his area (even the cover of “Not Today” seems to hint - we live in the entrance, we’ll die in it) and acts as a little person, then on “While Some Someone Died,” recognized by many listeners are the pinnacle of the Chemodan’s creativity, the first banger and the video “The Smell of Urban” appear, which significantly expanded the audience, and a universe with a sad clown, Aunt Raya and Mukhtar begins to emerge, who will not give a hand if there is powder in his pocket.
From there, Louis reports, finding a middle ground between a hopeless atmosphere and punchlines imbued with black humor. “Until Someone Died” is an isolated case where a rap lyric would not have lost weight without musical accompaniment, or even if it had remained on paper.
Fortunately, productivity in no way affected quality and did not turn creativity into an annual conveyor belt, which was once again proven by the EP “Circles Under the Eyes”, which, in fact, still tells about everyday life in a series of gray everyday life, and is a projection of the life of people from the outback , but still rich in catchphrases. “This is not a Candy shop, fuck, lollipop - we write a lot, but not like Daria Dontsova.”
In 2011, the album “GNOY” was released, the title and timing of which reflected what was boiling in Louis. As it was said later, “It was all just pus, and it was asking to come out.” The topics of the tracks have become much broader: from the influence of TV and the consequences of new technologies to appeals to aliens. The release was also particularly conceptual due to skits - clippings from a documentary about mysterious anomalies known as the “Petrozavodsk Phenomenon”. This time the author not only acted as a relay of what was happening around him, but also asked questions and, most importantly, tried to find answers to them.
The fifth full-length album “Except for Women and Children” came out very controversial and divides the discography into “before” and “after”, giving way to aggressive representations and the performer’s view through the prism of his perception of what is happening in the country and the awareness of who is at this party still spins his records. Throughout the entire album, you can’t help but feel that the shell of irony has cracked, and the author’s impudent grin has changed to an evil grin.
The last LP was released only 3 years later, during which Louis kept in shape on an optional joint release with Ram Digga, which included unreleased verses and remixes of their previously released tracks, and, conversely, the iconic Chemodan Clan “Wire”, where his partner Brick Bazuka, not chasing rhyme for the sake of rhyme, as before, gave out his best lines (“you just got into trouble,” “tell me what you believe in, and I’ll tell you who you are...”).
The eighth or ninth volume of “Absurdity and Allegory” kicks the door into your house, opens it with all its force, breaking off the hinges, and declares from the threshold: “Where is old Louis? The old one is right here.”
And this Louis is fresher than before, he no longer smells of hopelessness. He masterfully juggles words, using his signature trick of using antitheses. Over modern beats, he dedicates an epitaph to Sean Price, speaks out about the current political situation and plunges into the atmosphere of military operations.
On the final release “The End,” Louis speaks as if he is already above ordinary problems and worldly vanity, but at the end he puts not a period, but an ellipsis, asking the question “What is left for us?”
"What" forever? Yes, because Suitcase is not ten, it’s hundreds of songs. Hundreds of songs about what is inside and around each of us to one degree or another. Apparently, within the framework of the Chemodan project, the performer has said everything, and he needs new territory for creative scope. In any case, Louis will not stop burning with style, and will not change the genre to Kir-Core, because “If rap is just a hobby for me, then fuck me!”
