Definitions

  • the invention relates to a case with rollers for transport, which are arranged partly rigid and partly pivotable about a vertical axis on the lower part of the case.
  • a case with rollers for transport is known in particular as a shell case with two packable shells, which can be opened along a hinge axis.
  • the invention has for its object to design a case of the type described above so that on the one hand the steerability is significantly improved and on the other hand the bulkiness is reduced.
  • the case has a total of three roles, 'that two roles are as far as possible rigidly arranged outside and behind on the lower part of the case, and that the third role is designed as a steering roller and is arranged at least partially retractable at the front about in the hinge plane of the case.
  • a countersunk arrangement of the roller by accommodation in a circumferential groove, which is formed in particular with shell cases by the circumferential frame, is appropriate. Due to the recessed arrangement of the roll, it can be made larger. This, as well as the provision of only a single swivel castor, improves the maneuverability and reduces the bulkiness which arises when the castors are attached to the lower narrow side of the case completely undamaged.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the steering roller is displaceable between a rest position and an operating position and can be locked in these two positions.
  • the steering roller can be extended for rolling operation and for transport on tape or for storing the case, where the extended roller only disturbs, so that it is no longer in contact with the ground.
  • this improves the steerability of the case and on the other hand it protects the roller from stresses during rough loading operations when loading the case into the luggage compartment of a vehicle, e.g. B. an airplane.
  • the case When transported on an inclined conveyor belt, the case also has a secure hold against reverse or sideways rolling when the swivel castor is fully retracted.
  • Such a fuse is at the beginning Written suitcase with wheels not or only if a separate braking device is provided.
  • the swivel castor is expediently mounted on a guide part so as to be pivotable about the vertical axis, and the guide part is guided on a frame stiffening the case, for example in a guide groove of the frame.
  • the frame or the transition between the lower narrow side and the front narrow side of the case is chamfered or hollowed out so that the guide part can be snapped into an upper detent on the frame and the swivel castor into a rest position can be swung back behind the front edge of the case, and that the guide part can be snapped into a lower locking device on the frame after being moved, the swivel castor being swiveled forward into an operating position pointing forward.
  • the bevel or trough ensures that the swivel castor receives the required swiveling on the one hand and is protected against tarnishing on a sidewalk of normal height on the other hand.
  • the guide part can be displaced from the rest position into the operating position against the force of a spring which is held at one end on the case and at the other end on the guide part. This can happen, for example, by acting on the guide part and thereby running over the upper locking device with the foot.
  • the lower locking mechanism could then be triggered by hand or foot by means of an adjusting button if the steering roller is to be retracted from the operating position into the rest position.
  • At least one slider can be arranged near the castor on the lower narrow side of the case, which supports the front of the suitcase on the ground when the castor is locked in the rest position.
  • the invention also strives for a simple, interchangeable construction for the mounting of the rigid rollers.
  • the rigid rollers each have an axis which is held in a bushing of a bearing element, that the bushing is inserted into a correspondingly shaped trough-shaped depression in the lower narrow side of the case and that the bearing element is in a shape in the lower Sidewall region of the case has a snug half-shell, which is dimensioned to accommodate about the roller half and to which the bush is molded.
  • this very simple design designed for a quick exchange of the rigid rollers, is sufficient to accommodate the sometimes high bearing loads, whereby these bearing loads can be transferred via the formations without a special fastening being required between these parts.
  • a small screw or the like can only be provided between the half-shell and the shape of the case as a protection against loss.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 show a shell case with two shells 2 and 3, designated overall by reference number 1 and a central, all-round frame 4, which has the hinges for opening the case shells on the underside seen in FIG. 1.
  • the hinge plane is designated by the reference number 5.
  • the frame On the top, the frame carries a handle 6 and the locks (not shown).
  • Approximately semicircular troughs 7 are formed in the two rear outer sides of the case shells, in which rollers 8 are arranged sunk.
  • the rollers can be rotated on the case shells by means of quick-release axles 9, but are mounted rigidly, ie pivotably.
  • the case has a continuous bevel 10.
  • the frame sunk relative to the case shells 2, 3 also has a corresponding bevel 11.
  • a guide part 12 for a front steering roller 13 is slidably guided and can be locked in two limit positions.
  • the guide part 12 supports the roller 13 via a fork 15 which can be pivoted about a vertical axis 14.
  • Fig. 2 the arrangement of the guide member 12 and the steering roller 13 is shown in the operating position.
  • the guide part is locked on the bevel 11 in the lower limit position, and the fork 15 is pivoted forward into an operating position.
  • the arrangement is such that even in this operating position the roller 13 is still a game behind the front narrow side 16 of the case 1. Since the height h of the bevel is selected so that it is smaller than the usual curb height, the case does not run with the comparatively sensitive steering roller 13 but with the front narrow side 16 on the curb when it is pulled against it in rolling operation.
  • Fig. 3 shows the rest position, in which the guide Part 12 is locked in the upper limit position on the bevel 11 of the frame 4 and the fork 15 is pivoted back.
  • the roller 13 is then completely sunk under the bevel and no longer has any contact with the ground. Rather, the front end of the case is supported in this case by sliders 17, one of which is attached under the lower narrow side of each case shell.
  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment for the guide part 12 with a steering roller 13 in detail, FIG. 4 showing the steering roller in the lower locked operating position according to FIG. 2.
  • the fork 15 is pivotally held in a vertical bore 19 via a thru-axle 18 and is non-positively secured via a snap ring 20 against slipping out of the bore.
  • a guide groove 21 is provided in the bevelled frame part 11 for the sliding displacement of the guide part 12.
  • the frame part 11 has a lower locking hole 22 and an upper locking hole (not shown in FIG. 4), into each of which a locking pin 24 which slides in a horizontal bore 23 fits.
  • the locking pin can be pulled out of the locking hole 22 against the force of a spring 26 by means of an adjusting knob 25 in order to release the locking and to move the guide part 12 between the two limit positions (the upper limit position is not shown in FIG. 4).
  • the guide part 12 is shown locked in the upper limit position, the steering roller 13 being shown pivoted back out of contact with the surface about the vertical axis 14 into the rest position.
  • the locking pin 24 engages in an upper locking hole 27 under the action of the spring 26.
  • This locking hole is designed so that when off practice a foot pressure on the guide member 12 down the rounded end of the locking pin 24 slide over the rounded edge of the locking hole 27 and can move against the force of the spring 26 in the unlocked position.
  • a spiral leaf spring 28 is provided in the one according to FIG.
  • Fig. 5 the spring is relaxed or almost relaxed. If the guide member 12 is pushed down, the spring tensions until it has reached the greatest tension when the locking pin 24 snaps into the locking bore 22 for the lower limit position (operating position of the steering roller 13). After releasing the lock, which can also be effected by a conventional trigger mechanism from the side of the guide part 12 with the foot (not shown), the spring 28 automatically pulls the guide part 12 back into the rest position shown in FIG. 5.
  • the roller 8 which can be a commercially available roller skate roller, is rotatable on an axis 30 connected to it, which has a safety collar 31 with a hole 32 for a split pin 33 at the free end. With the axis 8, the roller can be inserted into a suitably shaped sleeve 34 of a metal bearing element 35.
  • the bearing element has a half-shell 36 integrally formed with the bushing 34.
  • the bearing element is designed so that it with the half-shell 36 in a corresponding formation 37 in the lower side wall region of the relevant K opener shell 2 or 3 fits, while the socket 34 is received in a correspondingly shaped trough-shaped recess 38 on the lower narrow side of the case shell.
  • This arrangement of the roller on the case shell is such that the not inconsiderable supporting forces are easily transferred between the case and the rollers 8 without the need for a stable, firm connection between the bearing element 35 and the case shells 2 and 3. All that is needed is securing the bearing element 35 from falling off the case shell 2 or 3, this securing being able to be achieved, for example, by means of a small screw 42 which, from the inside of the case, through a hole 40 into a threaded hole 41 in the metal half shell 36 can be screwed.
  • the split pin 33 serves to secure the roller 8 against being pulled out laterally from the bearing element 35 (see FIG. 7).
  • each shape has an extension 39, which is not as high from the lower narrow side of the bottom of the case as the main part of the shape 37 and which is dimensioned such that when the case is opened, the roller 8 mounted on the other case half fits into the extension of the other Form can insert.
  • the relatively large rollers 8 do not interfere with each other when opening the case, as shown in particular in the view according to FIG. 8 with the case shells unfolded from below.
  • Fig. 9 illustrates the handling of the case by means of a loop 44 attached to the frame in the area of the upper narrow side.
