Definitions

  • the invention relates to hand luggage and in particular a suitcase comprising two shells assembled on one side by a hinge, on the other by means of gripping and lockable closure.
  • Document DE-A-2 005 520 describes a suitcase provided, on one of its end edges, with rolling means making it possible to move it in two different positions, one so that the lateral faces are more or less strongly inclined with respect to the rolling plane around the longest edge, the other, so that the suitcase is more or less inclined around the shortest edge. This document does not give details on the main constituent parts of the suitcase and how it is closed.
  • the object of the invention to provide a suitcase with incorporated rolling means, immediately available, whose weight and size are as small as possible and which allow the suitcase to roll either almost flat or on edge.
  • the suitcase according to the invention comprises, on an end edge, two rolling means allowing movement either in a first direction parallel to the lateral faces, or in a second direction perpendicular to the first, it is provided with 'at least a handful.
  • This bag is characterized by the fact that the two means are parallel to each other and are each arranged along one edge of an end edge so that they also provide stable and fixed seat of the suitcase on the corresponding end edge.
  • the main advantages of such a suitcase lie in the fact that it is possible to roll it on a uniform floor in two positions almost perpendicular to each other, to immobilize it vertically on the carrier edge - the driving directions are neutralized - the rolling device constituting an insulator on a surface wetted by rain.
  • the rolling means being incorporated into the bag can operate instantly without preparation or adjustment, both in the corridor of a wagon on the platform of a station, on a carpet or on any surface. Their intrinsic weight is negligible.
  • FIG. 1 represents an exemplary embodiment in which the suitcase is constituted by two shells 1, 2 assembled on a frame 3, said frame not being essential when the shells are rigid.
  • the assembly of the shells is ensured, in the absence of a frame, by a hinge on one side, gripping means on the opposite side.
  • Figure 2 shows that the rollers 11, 12 are embedded in cells 13 containing a support 14 of the axis 15 of the wheel, said support 14 can be separated from the cell 13 so as to make the rolling means removable. dish.
  • the axes 15 of the rollers 11, 12 are aligned parallel to the edge 16 of the shell 1, constituted by a cut plane 17 in the case described, which facilitates rolling flat, that is to say the side faces 18 , 28 being strongly inclined relative to the running plane (fig. 1a).
  • the rollers 21, 22 are also embedded in cells 23 each containing a support 24 of their axis 25.
  • the supports 24 can be separated from their cell 23 so as to make the rolling means on edge removable.
  • the axes 25 are mutually parallel and perpendicular to the edge 26 of the shell 2 forming a cutaway 27 in the case described.
  • the level of the axes 25 with respect to the outer surface of the edge 20 is calculated so that the outcrop of the rollers 21, 22 is sufficient to allow the suitcase to move along the edge, in a wagon corridor for example (FIG. 1 b).
  • the gripping means are constituted by a handle, normally located on the edge opposite to that of the hinge, in a housing which contains it entirely in its folded position and allows it to cover the locking device with a lock closing the suitcase.
  • an additional handle 5 is placed on the edge parallel and opposite to that 10, 20 which carries the casters 11, 12, 21, 22.
  • This handle 5 is located in a housing 50 where it retracts entirely when it is in the rest position.
  • the bottom 51 of this housing constitutes a support wall when the handle 5 is in the use position because it abuts against this wall and thus allows the suitcase to be held on its rollers either flat or on edge.
  • the handle 5 pivots around two axes 52 housed in the side walls of the housing 50, the pivot point of the branches 53, 54.
  • Each of these ends has a boss 530, 540 which is housed in at least one corresponding recess in the walls lateral of the housing 50, so that the handle is completely folded down in the said housing or in the position of use, the elasticity of the branches 53, 54 preventing it from pivoting on its own around its axes 52.
  • the edge rolling means consist of two rollers placed at each of the corners of a corner of the bag, on either side of the frame.
  • the suitcase does not have cut sides, unless a support for the axis of the rollers is placed outside the angles which support them.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show how the rolling means are removable.
  • the support 14 of the axes 15 is a box comprising a peripheral rim and tongues 140 projecting from the bottom of the box and comprising at their free and flexible end a beveled boss 141.
  • the support 14 is placed in a cell 13, 23 of the bag, the bottom of said cell having two rectangular openings 130 having dimensions substantially equal to those of the boss 141.
  • the bevelled shape of said boss and its shoulder 142 allow the fixing of the support 14 inside the cell 13.
