Description

! The invention relates to suitcases, travel bags or the like.

It's often a nuisance, but inevitable, two suitcases or one Carrying suitcase and a travel bag or similar in one hand. The handles have a relatively small height, so that when summarizing a Two handles add to the fact that the two adjacent bases of the two suitcases form an angle with one another form and diverge at the bottom. The aim of the invention is to provide a remedy here.

For this purpose, the invention provides a suitcase that the pivotably mounted handle, which is arranged in the middle of one longitudinal side, is designed asymmetrically in such a way that it one of the base areas of the case is adjacent with its plane.

Thus, the invention enables sets of different or to create any combination that can be carried in one hand. But it is also possible to use one of the two

To use suitcase for himself alone, jidan travels with a single one, uniform piece of luggage and can part of it too special purposes, e.g. use as a briefcase for yourself, without taking the entire piece of luggage with you e.g. to conferences IUUbbfll.

The invention is exemplified below with reference to the drawings explained in more detail, namely shows:

Fig. 1 shows a set consisting of two unequal suitcases of different sizes, according to the invention are attached to each other,

an end view of the attachment of the suitcase, cooperating fasteners according to the invention,

an end view of the handles of two suitcases according to the invention,

a side view of a handle according to the invention and

a case with a handle according to the invention in the position of use.

An essential part of the invention are case handles 10, 20, which are attached to known retaining fittings 11, 21 in the middle on the upper narrow side of suitcases 12, 22 are pivotably mounted.

Each of the case handles has two bearing pieces 13, 23, which are shown in Areas 14, 24 bent at right angles go over. The actual handlebars 15 »25 are connected to these areas the actual handle 16, 26 carry.

The handlebars or the handle pieces carry, for example, push-button type Connecting elements 17 »by means of which two adjacent handles can be releasably connected to one another.

In normal use (Fig. 6) the handle 26 turns over the bearing piece 23 on the line of gravity 30 a. When meeting

Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4th Fig. 5 Fig. 6th

hold two suitcases (Fi £. 4 ·) are provided by the bent 3 oaks 14-24 for the fact that both handles 10, 20 lie against one another. Here is it is only necessary to make these bent areas so lar to make that the level of the handle with the level of a ues n.uiiera uauc ^ ü

This measure is sufficient in most cases to cause a gap to prevent the two suitcases down. However, to facilitate handling and the like from two suitcases. a To be able to make a single piece of luggage, the invention envisages further fastening means along the edges of a base area of a suitcase.

So, first of all, there can be a conventional lock, a locking element 32 on the top of both suitcases. be provided. This lock can be released so that both cases v **>% V ηΐΛ T% yi * ■ »» - »

To further define the two suitcases are near the bottom edge at least one pair of connecting elements 33 »34- are provided.

These connecting elements are designed as a plug connection (Fig. 2 and 3) and by means of rivets 35 or the like. attached to the suitcases. One element (33) has a tab 36 which is inserted into a slot 37 of the other element (34 ·) can. Both elements are bent towards each other in the shape of a hook, the bent areas being the height of the feet 38 of the suitcase can own.

After the connecting elements 33 »34- are plugged into one another the suitcases against one another against the direction of arrow 39 in FIG. folded and the shutter 31 »32 closed. Form both suitcases then a piece of luggage. After releasing the lock 31 and 32, the cases can be unfolded in the direction of arrow 39 and the plug connections 33 »34- can be released. Then each of the cases can be used on its own.

In this way any suitcase sets can be formed, whereby j this preferably the same presentation with possibly different Can own size.

The innovation is not limited to that shown and described

Embodiment limited, rather Ix taps are yours i Basic idea further embodiments are possible.
