A wheeled enclosure having an interior volume defining body including a rigid base and a plurality of upwardly extending and flexible sides. A plurality of wheeled supports are incorporated into the rigid base. A telescoping handle extends from a rear of the body and may be secured to an edge of the rigid base. Other features include the provision of rigid inserts which are seated within vertical pockets integrated into each of four interconnecting sides associated with a flexible body. The flexible body can include an upper half which reverse folds into an interior defined by the lower half and the rigid inserts. The rigid base can also be foldable and can convert the assembly between expanded use and collapsed storage positions.

1. A wheeled enclosure, comprising: an interior volume defining flexible enclosure having a lower portion and an interconnected upper portion;a plurality of rigid and elongated inserts removably supported in vertically extending fashion along each of interconnecting sides of said lower portion of said flexible enclosure, such that said inserts are independently received within elongated pockets configured upon each side of said flexible enclosure;a base supporting a bottom associated with said lower portion of said flexible enclosure;front and rear wheels incorporated into said base;said base further including a plurality of interconnected rigid sections, including a rear most section incorporating said rear wheels, an intermediate section hingedly connected to said rear most section at a first location, and a forward most section incorporating said front wheels and hingedly connected to said intermediate section at a further location;said rear most section further including a first bottom side and a ninety degree angled rear side;said rear wheels being integrated into cutout portions in said rear most section for seating said front wheels upon inward collapsing of said forward most, intermediate and rearward most sections about said hinged locations;a handle extending upwardly from a rear of said base; andsaid upper portion of said flexible enclosure being reverse folded into an interior defined by said interconnected lower portion with said inserts in a first configuration, said upper portion being upwardly unfolded outwardly of said lower portion, such as in response to filling of the interior volume of the flexible enclosure, in a second configuration. 2. The invention as described in claim 1, said enclosure further comprising a flexible four sided canvas or bag structure. 3. The invention as described in claim 1, further comprising said elongated pockets being configured along either of outer or inner facing surfaces of said lower portion. 4. The invention as described in claim 1, said interconnected upper portion of said flexible enclosure further comprising an open perimeter defined top with a reclosable drawstring. 5. The invention as described in claim 1, said handle further comprising pairs of telescoping elongated portions terminating in a cross wise extending handle associated with uppermost ends of said telescoping elongated portions. 6. The invention as described in claim 5, said handle further comprising a reinforcing cross extending portion extending between a lower most pair of said telescoping elongated portions affixed to said base. 7. The invention as described in claim 6, said flexible enclosure further comprising intermediate cutout locations at an interface between said lower and upper portions and through which upwardly projects said lowermost pair of affixed handle portions. 8. The invention as described in claim 1, further comprising an additional plurality of elongated supports horizontally arrayed upon said bottom for maintaining rigidity. 9. The invention as described in claim 8, further comprising hook and loop portions for securing said elongated supports to the bottom. 10. The invention as described in claim 1, further comprising a second pivotal or removable and reinforcing portion hingedly supported at a rear end of said rear-most section rigid bottom. 11. The invention as described in claim 1, said wheels further comprising any of cylindrical or spherical shaped castors. 12. The invention as described in claim 1, further comprising any of snaps, magnets or mechanical closures for restraining said upper portion within said lower portion in said inwardly folded position. 13. A wheeled enclosure, comprising: an interior volume defining flexible enclosure having a lower portion and an interconnected upper portion;a plurality of elongated inserts rigidly supported in vertically extending fashion along said lower portion of said flexible enclosure;a base supporting a bottom associated with said lower portion of said flexible enclosure;front and rear wheels incorporated into said base;said base further including a plurality of interconnected rigid sections, including a rear most section incorporating said rear wheels, an intermediate section hingedly connected to said rear most section at a first location, and a forward most section incorporating said front wheels and hingedly connected to said intermediate section at a further location;said rear most section further including a first bottom side and a ninety degree angled rear side;said rear wheels being integrated into cutout portions in said rear most section for seating said front wheels upon inward collapsing of said forward most, intermediate and rearward most sections about said hinged locations;a handle extending upwardly from a rear of said base; andsaid upper portion of said flexible enclosure being reverse folded into an interior defined by said interconnected lower portion in a first configuration, said upper portion being upwardly unfolded outwardly of said lower portion, such as in response to filling of the interior volume of the flexible enclosure, in a second configuration. 14. A wheeled enclosure, comprising: an interior volume defining flexible enclosure having a lower portion and an interconnected upper portion;a plurality of elongated inserts rigidly supported within pockets configured in vertically extending fashion along said lower portion of said flexible enclosure;a base supporting a bottom associated with said lower portion of said flexible enclosure;front and rear wheels incorporated into said base;said base further including a plurality of interconnected rigid sections, including a rear most section incorporating said rear wheels, an intermediate section hingedly connected to said rear most section at a first location, and a forward most section incorporating said front wheels and hingedly connected to said intermediate section at a further location;said rear most section further including a first bottom side and a ninety degree angled rear side;said rear wheels being integrated into cutout portions in said rear most section for seating said front wheels upon inward collapsing of said forward most, intermediate and rearward most sections about said hinged locations:a handle extending upwardly from a rear of said base and along an inner facing rear interconnecting side of said flexible enclosure, said handle including a pair of spaced apart elongate members extending through cutout portions in said flexible enclosure located at an interface between said upper and lower extending portions; andsaid upper portion of said flexible enclosure being reverse folded into an interior defined by said interconnected lower portion in a first configuration, said upper portion being upwardly unfolded outwardly of said lower portion, such as in response to filling of the interior volume of the flexible enclosure, in a second configuration.
