Definitions

  • the present invention relates to hand luggage intended in particular but not exclusively for the transport of sporting articles such as tennis rackets for example.
  • the problem which is solved by the invention is that of a reduction in the fatigue involved in such transport.
  • the reduction in fatigue is obtained according to the invention by action on two parameters which are respectively the position of the wrist and the position of the luggage during transport.
  • FIG. 1b the handle B is inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the luggage by an angle equal to approximately 40 °, which results in a total absence of contraction of the muscles of the forearm since it is no longer necessary to cause a change in orientation of the hand relative to the arm. Luggage can therefore be carried at arm's length without any pre-contracting.
  • US Patent No. 3,757,911 describes rigid luggage handles made up of three distinct segments.
  • the middle segment of the handle is horizontal, that is to say parallel to the top of the baggage while each of the two end segments is inclined by about 30 ° relative to the horizontal.
  • the terminal segments are at least four inches long, which makes it possible to grip the baggage either by one of these segments, or by the middle segment which is generally longer than four inches.
  • the purpose of these handles is to allow the ascent or descent of stairs by carrying a baggage so that the bottom of it does not come up against the steps of the stairs.
  • the object of the invention is to permanently maintain the hand of the horizontal carrier and, the end segments 7 and 8 allow movement of the luggage parallel to the plane of the staircase, which effectively avoids shocks.
  • the elongated rectangular shape allowing for example to transport tennis rackets whose length is of the order of 68 to 70 cm leads to the use of luggage the length of which is at least 75 cm.
  • the baggage handle is placed along the longest side (handle C in Figure 2), the baggage may strike other travelers in areas with heavy traffic. On the other hand, the traveler must bend over a lot to drop off or pick up luggage on the ground during stops. If the handle is placed along the smallest side (handle D in Figure 2), the baggage is no longer likely to disturb other travelers. and it can easily be dropped and picked up on the floor.
  • such baggage can only be carried without rubbing on the ground if the bend in the elbow is bent, which leads to rapidly tiring muscle contraction.
  • hand luggage comprises a rigid or semi-rigid receptacle of generally substantially rectangular shape and at least one handle.
  • the internal surface of said handle is inclined, in the normal transport position, from rear to front in the direction of movement, at an angle between 30 ° and 50 ° relative to the direction of movement.
  • the handle is arranged in one of the angles of said rectangle, so that the diagonal passing through said angle is during transport in a direction close to the vertical.
  • FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 represent a bag intended for the transport of sporting articles such as tennis rackets which are shown only in FIG. 3.
  • the luggage comprises a receptacle 1 which can for example be made of a flexible material such as leather shaped according to the shape shown thanks to a light metal frame such as aluminum for example or carbon fibers.
  • a handle 2 which, according to a characteristic of the invention, is curved and on which one can distinguish four sections 21, 22, 23 and 24.
  • the corner 3 of the luggage opposite to the handle 2 also has a curved shape.
  • the handle 2 determines with the receptacle 1 a space 4 sufficient to pass the fingers.
  • Figure 3 shows the luggage according to the invention resting on the ground or slightly lifted by a traveler (not shown) holding the handle at section 21-22.
  • Figure 4 shows the same baggage lifted by section 22-23 and Figure 5 by section 23-24.
  • the inclination of the XY axis (longitudinal axis with the vertical) which was zero in the case of Figure 3 is 21 ° in the case of Figure 4 and 34 ° in the case of the figure 5.
  • the distance between the hand and the lowest part of the baggage 5 is 70 cm in the case of FIG. 4 and 62 cm in the case of FIG. 5. It can thus be seen how the arrangement and the shape of the handle as well as the rounded shape of the corner 3 help to move it away from the ground the lower part of the luggage and allow to remove the tiring bending of the elbow.
  • the traveler can hold the bag placed on the ground with section 21-22 of the handle and he can lift it by moving his hand from section 21-22 to section 22-23 then in section 23-24 if applicable.
  • Figure 6 shows a baggage of the same type as the previous one but wider and thicker, intended to contain various objects and in particular clothing.
  • the handle can be integrated into the luggage or attached to a corner thereof.
  • the suitcase thus formed can be manufactured using the materials commonly used for this purpose.
  • the handle can be produced without projection relative to the whole of the luggage, which reduces the risks of catching and deterioration of said handle whatever the dimensions of the luggage considered.
  • the luggage has been shown in side view, but it goes without saying that the generally rectangular shape shown determines in volume a parallelepiped.
  • the invention brings many advantages.
  • the first consists in the fact that the position of the hand on the handle is a natural position, which results in an impression of increased comfort.
  • a handle according to the invention allows the wearer to choose the most natural position taking into account the distribution of the load inside the luggage by a simple translation of the hand along the handle.
  • the present invention can be implemented more simply as shown in FIG. 8.
  • the handle 2 In order for the wrist to occupy its natural position during transport, the handle 2 is inclined relative to the horizontal by an angle of approximately 40 ° in the forward direction of the traveler symbolized by the arrow F.
  • the center of gravity G is located below the center of the handle.
  • US Patent No. 3,757,911 it will be noted that the handle is inclined in the opposite direction.
  • the Applicant has also observed that it is more comfortable, because of the muscular organization of the wrist and forearm, that the center of gravity G of the luggage is located at the front of the handle.
  • the handle 2 is preferably shifted backwards by approximately 10 cm so that a slight torque is exerted on the wrist.
  • Figures 8 and 9 allow traditional transport, that is to say that the large dimension of the suitcase or bag is, during transport, parallel to the ground.
  • FIG. 10 represents another embodiment of the invention in which the handle 2 is arranged in an angle of the luggage 1, so that during transport the diagonal 30 is substantially vertical or forms an angle of a few degrees with the vertical, the value of this angle depending on the load and its distribution inside the luggage.
  • Figure 1 shows the transport by a traveler of a baggage such as that shown in Figures 3 to 6.
  • the hand forms with the tangent to the handle which in this case is curved, an angle of about 40 ° . ⁇
  • the center of gravity is slightly in front of the hand and the luggage is transported in a position such that one of the diagonals is substantially vertical.
