Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved suitcase resistant to shocks and to various deformation constraints.
  • the most well-known suitcases intended to resist shocks and various deformation constraints generally consist of monolithic parts, one forming the bottom or bowl of the suitcase and the other forming a cover. Each of these parts is made of a material such as metal or specially resistant plastic and it is shaped by any suitable method such as by stamping, casting, molding and the like. Their assembly is then done by means of hinges subsequently attached or else inserted at the time of the forming operation. Other accessories such as locks, handles, etc. are also provided and assembled at an appropriate manufacturing stage.
  • these suitcases are not very aesthetic and their very design does not always allow any dressing, such as fabric, skin, leather, etc.
  • any dressing such as fabric, skin, leather, etc.
  • the means used to do this would not be immune to rapid deterioration because these means could only be added and therefore likely to be either easily deformed or accidentally torn off or damaged by impact, compression or rubbing in during the multiple handling or manipulations to which these suitcases are subjected during journeys especially when they are taken care of for their transport in wagons, chests, containers, bunkers, holds, etc ...
  • suitcases of resistant structure with an aesthetic appearance and comprising a covering corresponding to the tastes of the user; however, both the structure and the means used to reinforce it so as to increase its impact resistance such as, for example, added metal corner protectors or glues, rivets, etc. to adhere or to fix the cover are not immune to degradation, deterioration, uprooting etc ...
  • the present invention aims to provide an improved suitcase which is, by its structure, on the one hand resistant to shocks and to various deformation stresses, on the other hand capable of being made aesthetic by any desired covering without using fixing or mounting accessories which can be damaged and finally, the main components of which are removable and interchangeable.
  • the suitcase according to the invention comprising its two parts bowl and cover assembled by hinge is essentially characterized in that each of these two parts is formed by a removable belt with four connecting and structural parts each comprising elements or means assembly and / or interlocking for the edges of two adjacent panels and for the corresponding angle of the bottom to be joined so as to form a rectangular trihedron, serving as a mounting and fixing support means, on the one hand, a protective corner and secondly, reinforcing and anti-shock angles in the longitudinal, vertical and transverse direction, each angle enclosing the edge of a covering material of the valley against the corresponding panel.
  • FIG. 1 illustrating a suitcase according to the invention highlights the fact that its edges are reinforced by protective and reinforcement parts respectively designated by the references L, V, T, C and W and which are designed, produced and mounted in such a way (as will be seen below) that the suitcase resists deformation and shock stresses. Furthermore, being entirely removable, the elements which could be damaged, can be easily replaced. In addition, the design of its assembly makes it possible to dress the six panels of this suitcase at will. The three panels visible in the drawing are designated by the references 1, 2 and 3.
  • the assembly obtained is coherent and it can be directly used provided that two assemblies are joined together, via at least one hinge, thus constituting a chest or suitcase.
  • the material constituting the panels can be chosen from known resistant materials such as metallic materials, wood, agglomerates, hard plastics, etc.
  • the suitcase or the trunk thus produced will only have the resistance resulting from the very nature of the constituent material chosen.
  • the corner edges and the corners are exposed to impacts, shocks and various deformation stresses and consequently to risks of deterioration if the corner edges are neither reinforced nor protected.
  • the present invention is precisely aimed at such reinforcement and at such protection.
  • angles as designated by the references L, V, T and W.
  • the angle such as T (see FIG. 1) is mounted directly on the corresponding structural corner 6 which contributes to strengthening the role of 'main structural and support element of this corner while protecting it from impact.
  • mounting can be done by providing on the angle iron and the corner 6 complementary systems of the type, for example, groove-slide, the final fixing being done, for example, by screwing (illustrated in dashed lines and designated by reference 7 in FIG. 4).
  • the other angles such as L and V, these can also be mounted directly on the corresponding edges or also by means of groove-slide systems provided on the edges.
  • the bundle of the three angles T, L and V is brought together at the top of the trihedron which it forms to be, in turn at this top, made integral with the element of corresponding structure 6 by means of a part also forming a corner. It is the part designated by the reference C in Figures 1 and 3 which is itself made integral with the part 6 by means, for example, of a screw 8. Furthermore an angle W is also provided to reinforce the edge opposite the bottom 2 of the assembly, this angle can be mounted in an appropriate manner known per se. It is, in turn, advantageously made integral with the structural parts 6 to contribute to the mechanical strength of the entire structure.
  • the angles which are discussed above have such a profile and cooperate with a profile of the corresponding element which they provide the protection they serve to "fold" the sheet 9 of the element covering which may be fabric, leather, skin and the like.
  • Such an operation is carried out by means of the two corresponding (sliding) profiles 10-11 as illustrated by way of example in FIG. 4.
  • Those skilled in the art will appreciate for themselves the advantage of such a mounting.
  • the suitcase according to the invention by its structure, a resistance to shocks and deformations. It is easily removable for possible repairs; it can be dressed at will by virtue of this possibility of disassembly and the simplicity of the method of holding in place the chosen covering material.
