Description

The invention relates to a decorative element for a piece of luggage, comprising a plate with a visible side and a back, which is formed with fastening means. Furthermore, the invention also relates to the use of such a decorative element.

Decorative items for luggage are known and serve to give the luggage a high degree of customization. For example, rucksacks, preferably school backpacks are known in which decorative elements in the form of motifs with stickers can be arranged by means of Velcro elements on designated areas of the backpack. However, the achievable degree of individualization is limited, since only the exchange of printed with different motifs decorative elements is possible.

From the DE 20 2015 004 580 U1 is a piece of luggage, in particular suitcases known, the container is superficially formed with several layers, of which the uppermost cover initially covers the underlying layers, but is not formed abrasion resistant and is removed by use and mechanical action, scratches and the like partially, so that the underneath located further layers are visible, which gives the luggage an interesting visual impression. For this purpose, however, it is necessary that the item of luggage is formed with a dimensionally stable surface of the container, so that it is particularly suitable for hard-shell cases, but not for soft luggage, such as backpacks made of textile material and the like. Furthermore, there is no interchangeability, since the container is completely coated.

The object of the invention is to propose a decorative element for a piece of luggage, which allows the user a higher degree of customization options.

To achieve the object, the design of a decorative element according to the features of the protection claim 1 is proposed according to the invention. Advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

The invention proposes to design the decorative element, which is plate-shaped and replaceable with fastening means, with a visible side and apply to the visible side at least one base layer and the at least one base layer covering cover layer, which are not formed transparent and wherein at least the cover layer of a not abrasion resistant material is formed and can be removed by mechanical machining. By mechanical processing, the cover layer of the decoration element according to the invention can be removed so that the at least one base layer can be exposed below the cover layer. Also, the base layer or several base layers located below the cover layer can be successively removed by mechanical processing, until ultimately the visible side of the plate, which is preferably made of a metal such as aluminum, is exposed.

The at least one base layer which can be exposed in this way can be formed, for example, from a material which contrasts with the cover layer. In addition, at least one graphic element may be provided between the plate and the first, lowest base layer and / or between successive base layers and / or between the cover layer and the underlying base layer, which in the initial state of the decorative element according to the invention due to the overlap with the cover layer and possibly At least one base layer is not visible, but only by deliberate mechanical processing or use-related scratches and similar damage to the non-abrasion-resistant cover layer and possibly also base layer (s) comes to light. This results in a high degree of individualization, which is also subjected to a continuous change until the final complete removal of the cover layer and the at least one base layer.

Further individualization options result from the fact that a plurality of such decorative elements are attached to a piece of luggage in a uniform or irregular and also changeable arrangement. For example, it is conceivable to provide a set of such decorative elements, which are each provided with a letter as a graphic element and are covered at least by the cover layer. By appropriate arrangement of several such decorative elements can be words, such as names, sayings or slogans configure that are gradually visible during use or brought to light by deliberate removal of material. This results in a particularly high degree of individualization, which can be further increased by simply replacing the decorative elements according to the invention while maintaining the luggage.

According to one proposal of the invention, the cover layer of the decoration element according to the invention is formed by a lacquer layer. By appropriate formulation of the lacquer layer to form the cover layer, the desired low abrasion resistance can be easily adjusted. The underlying at least one base layer including any graphic elements can also be prepared based on lacquer layers or other layers, such as enamel layers and the like.

As attachment means of the decorative element according to the invention are preferably those fasteners that ensure easy attachment and detachment of the decorative element of the bag and a sufficient loser safety. According to a proposal of the invention, the fastening means is formed by a protruding from the back needle with a fixable on the needle clamping piece, so that the needle, for example, pushed through a corresponding textile portion of a piece of luggage and back can be secured by means of the attached clamping piece. In such a case, almost any attachment of the decorative element according to the invention is made possible on suitably suitable pieces of luggage. Of course, however, Velcro closures and magnetic connections and the like can also be used.

The decorative element according to the invention is suitable for attachment and decoration on a variety of luggage, especially soft luggage pieces of textile materials, such as backpacks, sports and travel bags, hip bags and the like.

To a particular extent, the decorative element according to the invention for use on a piece of luggage with surface applied on the luggage textile strips with sewn loops suitable for forming a support system, as for example as a modular lightweight load-carrying equipment (MOLLE) from the original military equipment area now also numerous civilian equipment and luggage. The decorative elements according to the invention are dimensioned in this case so that in each case such a decorative element is attached to a sewn loop of the fabric strip, for example by pushing through the provided as fastening means rear needle through the loop and secure by means of the clamping piece on the needle. It can also be an attachment to an alternative embodiment of a support system, which has strips of regularly arranged slots on the surface of the luggage as a carrying system. At each of these strips, a decorative element according to the invention can be attached.

The insertion can be done directly through the fabric material of the loops or the loops are provided with a suitable eyelet through which the fastening means of the decorative element is feasible. Of course, other intended breakthroughs, for example in the manner of buttonholes in the fabric of the fabric strip and the like more conceivable.

According to one proposal of the invention, the eyelet is approximately cross-shaped or slit-shaped and prevented by this shaping an undesirable inclination of the attached decorative element in the direction of the horizontal and / or vertical axis.
