Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rigid or semi-rigid plastic suitcase.
  • the object of the present invention is to allow the manufacture of a suitcase having no roughness in a simple and therefore economical manner.
  • the case is produced in three assembled elements: a central element and two shells, one welded to one of the sides of the central element and the other articulated on the other side.
  • the fact of constituting a suitcase in three elements is in itself known, for example by the German patents 21 35 463 or 20 00 776 and European 79 395; however, these known devices were not satisfactory because they were either too heavy or insufficiently resistant.
  • the suitcase according to the present invention is a rigid or semi-rigid suitcase constituted by a central frame, forming a closed, rigid ring on which two rigid shells are assembled, one being welded to one of the sides of the frame and the other being articulated on the other side, characterized in that the central frame, in a single piece, is constituted so as to comprise at its upper part (or in front) a recessed housing, closed by a reinforcement piece with which it cooperates so as to constitute a hollow beam serving to stiffen the front of the bag, this hollow beam receiving the closing mechanisms, the central handle and the side handle of the bag.
  • the suitcase is constituted by a central frame, molded in one piece, to which is welded a first shell 2 constituting the bowl of the suitcase and to which is articulated a second shell 3 constituting the cover of the suitcase.
  • the two shells 2 and 3 are symmetrical, but the invention is not limited to this specific example.
  • the frame 1 has two grooves, into which the edges of the two shells 2 and 3 fit.
  • the edge of the bowl 2 is welded by any suitable means into the lower groove 4 of the frame central 1; while the rim of the cover 3 engages in the upper groove 5 when closing and is released during opening.
  • peripheral rim of the cover 3 does not include any bead, stiffening rib, strip or other reinforcement.
  • Rigidity is obtained by fitting the cover 3 into the frame 1. This is obtained by giving the upper groove 5 of the frame a great depth (about 2.5 cm) for a small width (about 0.4 cm) and by making the walls of this groove 5 slightly converging so as to obtain a tightening effect as the rim of the cover 3 sinks into said groove.
  • the frame 1 is rectangular, made in one piece and made of a material such that it is rigid. Preferably, it is made of injected plastic.
  • This frame has a front 6, a back 7 and two ends 8 and 9.
  • the front 6 has a hollow part 10 constituting a housing.
  • this recess extends not only over the entire length of the front 6, but also over a portion of the two ends 8 and 9.
  • the invention is not limited to this particular case: the recess 10 can occupy only part of the length of the front or even be found only on the front without extending laterally on the two ends.
  • FIG. 6 represents a reinforcement piece 11, which is intended to come to fit on the hollow housing 10 so as to constitute with it a hollow beam.
  • This reinforcing piece 11 comprises two housings 12 intended to receive the closing mechanisms and a central plate 13 intended to receive the handle which makes it possible to carry the suitcase.
  • the housing 10 has along its two sides a plurality of ribs 14; while in FIG. 6, it can be seen that the reinforcement piece has two ribs 15.
  • the ribs 14 are perpendicular to the median plane of the bag while the ribs 15 are parallel to this plane.
  • the ribs 14 are provided with slots 14a into which the ribs 15 of the reinforcement piece 11 engage. This thus gives good attachment of the reinforcement piece 11 and the housing 10, this which makes it possible to obtain a hollow beam of very great robustness.
  • the curved part 11a of the reinforcement part 11 is shorter than the corresponding part 10a of the housing 10. As a result, the reinforcement part only partially covers this part 10a .
  • This handle 17 This allows to place at this location constituting a housing 10a a handle 17.
  • This handle is held by a spring in the retracted position shown in Figure 12.
  • This handle 17 pivots about an axis which engages in two cutouts 18 formed in the two extensions 15a of the ribs 15.
  • This handle 17 constitutes the pull handle arranged on one of the sides or ends of the bag.
  • the back 7 comprises: two housing 18 for two wheels 19, the housing 18 being formed in the two shells 2 and 3; two front legs 20 and two rear legs 21.
  • This part of the frame 1 has a rib 22 and a hinge 23.
  • the hinge 23 is disposed on the outside of the groove 5; while the rib 22 is disposed on the outside of the groove 4 ( Figure 8).
  • the groove 22 is determined so that its end defines with the outer edge of the hinge 23, a plane perpendicular to the median plane of the bag.
  • FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 relate to a variant according to which there is in the part 10b of the housing 10 opposite to that in which the traction handle is located, an additional caster 24 retractable in the said housing 10.
  • This roller 24 is carried by a curved plate 25 so as to cover the portion 10b of the housing 10 in extension of the reinforcement piece 11.
  • This plate 25 has ribs 26 provided with orifices 27 receiving the pivot axis of said plate 25 and carrying the housing 28 the pivot 29 of the caster 24.
  • FIG. 10 shows the caster 24 in the retracted position, the plate 25 having been folded down;
  • Figure 9 shows this roller 24 in the extended position.
  • the suitcase can be easily rolled by pulling or pushing it by means of the side handle 17; the caster 24 being pivotally mounted around the axis 29 can be directed in any desired direction.
  • the frame 1, the housing 10, as well as its parts 10a and 10b, the reinforcement piece 11, and the plate 25 are arranged so that the outer surface of the bag is smooth and has no roughness.
  • the closing elements placed in the housings 12 are arranged so that their external surface is in line with the external surface of the reinforcement part 11.
  • the central frame 1 may advantageously include a wing 30 directed inwardly and arranged, practically at the base of the groove 5 parallel to the median plane of the bag.
  • This wing constitutes a reinforcement of the frame 1, a support for a possible separation tray and in a way a cover for a flexible pouch which can be placed below and fixed to the frame.
  • the ends of the housing 10 are preferably oblique: this arrangement makes it possible to evacuate the water which would have possibly infiltrated below the reinforcing plate 11.
