Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metal case according to the Preamble of claim 1 and a method for Manufacture of a metal case according to the generic term of claim 7.
  • a metal case is known from US-A-2,950,792, that of two suitcase halves, each with a broad side, two opposite narrow sides, one top and there is a stand area. Grab in the closed state the case halves over one through the narrow sides, the top and the standing surface The frames fit into each other and the case halves are in the Stand area hinged together.
  • Each Half of the case consists of two one-piece wall elements educated.
  • the first wall element consists of a strip-shaped Continuous cast profile with one on one longitudinal edge molded wall mounting profile and with a the opposite longitudinal edge molded frame profile.
  • the second wall element consists of a plate-shaped Sheet.
  • the invention has for its object a metal case, and a method for its production to train that a cheaper and production that is easier to automate is possible.
  • Each case half of the metal case is after the Invention from two wall elements formed, the one wall element from a strip-shaped material that is attached to a Long edge a wall mounting profile and on the opposite longitudinal edge a frame profile having.
  • the strip-shaped wall element is in one Working process made from a continuous cast profile.
  • the strip-shaped first wall element is formed opposite narrow sides and the footprint.
  • the plate-shaped second wall element forms the broad side and the associated top.
  • the second wall element is bent into the wall mounting profile of the first Wall element inserted and in the wall mounting profile of the first wall element for joining the respective Wall elements clamped.
  • An essential advantage of the invention and that of the invention is that the wall elements used for suitcases of different sizes can be done by simply changing your length is trimmed according to the case size. So can the first wall element delivered in coils, for example be, different cases with the same continuous casting profile can be produced.
  • the second wall element which also based on a given width in length can be cropped.
  • the second wall elements of the two unequal to manufacture deep case halves from the same sheet. This is how profiles are stocked and sheets for different case sizes considerably reduced so that the manufacturing costs and ultimately, the space requirement can also be reduced.
  • the second wall element is without wall mounting and Frame profile formed from a plate-shaped sheet and to form a broad side of the metal case bent once with the associated top.
  • the assembly of the metal case is easy Put the second wall element together in the wall mounting profiles of the first wall element to the fixed Connect the wall elements with a suitable tool can be squeezed together.
  • the wall mounting profile with a tab at the free end of the narrow sides is punched free and up to the front edge of the Narrow sides, is bent with a transition radius, the tab of the wall mounting profile on the Is narrow side.
  • the case halves of the metal case can thus be opened simple way with the help of two one-piece wall elements be put together.
  • Such a metal case can be done with fewer manufacturing steps manufacture and requires a lower Tool effort.
  • the individual manufacturing steps are easier to automate.
  • Figure 1 shows a metal case 1 from two case halves 2, 4, each consisting of a broadside 6a, 6b, an upper side 10a, 10b, a base 12a, 12b and two opposite narrow sides 8a, 8b.
  • the top 10b faces the center of the metal case 1 a handle 7 for carrying the case on while one of the narrow sides 8a, 8b a further handle 9 for rolling the case at the top of the narrow side 8a, 8b.
  • the standing surface 12a, 12b instructs its end facing away from the handle 9 two rollers 15 on, which make it possible in connection with the handle 9 the suitcase in a one-sided manner to roll.
  • the two case halves 2, 4 are asymmetrical, point so each has a different depth.
  • the Case halves 2, 4 are in the standing area 12a, 12b over one or more along the base 12a, 12b extending hinges 5 interconnected, wherein a hinge element with the base 12a and that other hinge element fixed to the base 12b connected is.
  • the broad side 6a and the top 10a of the case half 2, and the broad side 6b and the top 10b the second case 4 each consist of one one-piece plate with a rib-shaped profile 25 can be provided, both a stiffening function as well as an aesthetic function exercises.
  • This plate forms a second wall element 16, that in the wall mounting profile 18 of the first wall element 14a, 14b can be inserted bent. It is possible an inflexible plate made with the help of a press tool once to form the broad or top is bent, or a flexible plate that during the joining of the two wall elements 14, 16 bent is preceded without a separate bending process should be to use.
  • the opposite narrow sides 8a, 8b and Stand areas 12a, 12b become different from two wide strip-shaped wall elements 14a, 14b are formed, each with a wall mounting profile on one longitudinal edge 18 for receiving the second wall element 16a, 16b and on the wall receiving profile 18 opposite Longitudinal edge have a frame profile 20 or 21.
  • the frame profiles 20, 21 of the wall elements 14a, 14b are matched each other so that when you join the Case halves 2, 4 interlock and if necessary with the help seal the metal case 1 of a profile seal 23 can.
  • the wall mounting profiles 18 of the wall elements 14a, 14b are similar but mirror-inverted to each other, like is best seen in Figure 3.
  • the wall mounting profile 18 is at right angles from the Main surface of the wall element 14a, 14b and gapes before joining the two wall elements 14, 16 V-shaped apart around the second wall element 16a, 16b to record.
  • FIG. 5 shows the manufacture of the wall element 14b a strip-shaped with profiling 25 Sheet.
  • the narrow sides 8a, 8b are punched out in such a way that a transition radius to the protruding wall mounting profile 18 from about 2 to 8 cm, preferably about 3 to 5 cm, so that the protruding wall mounting profiles 18 when bending according to the transition radius to the free end edges 24 of the narrow sides 8b can put on without being buckled.
  • the finished first is created Wall element 14b according to FIG. 6, in its wall mounting profile 18 the second wall element 16b according to FIG. 7 is used can be.
  • the wall mounting profile 18 is then covered with a suitable one Tool pressed, creating a firm connection arises between the wall element 14b and 16b.
  • the second wall element 16b can with punched recesses 28 and holes 29 be provided for receiving lock holders 30 or the handle 7 serve.
  • the lock brackets 30 are in a frame bar 32b usable on the free edge of the top 10b is attached and with a continuous frame bar 32a cooperates with each other in an adapted manner Edge of the top 10a is attached.
  • the frame strips 32a and 32b are made from a profile that is open on one side designed on the one hand along its longitudinal edges a projection and on the other hand with a groove is, the protrusion in the groove of a corresponding Profile can intervene, and the groove preferably can accommodate a sealing profile 35.
  • the Edges of the tops 10a and 10b are made with the frame strips 32a and 32b each connected in that they positively guided over the open side of the profile enclose the frame strips 32a and 32b.
  • the frame strips 32a, 32b point on their opposite sides of the open side End each to the projection or Groove turned a groove in which the front edge of the Top sides 10a, 10b can be accommodated.
  • the lock brackets 30 and the frame strips 32a, 32b form a together with the frame profile 20 or 21 closed frame 22 of the case halves 2, 4.
  • Figure 4 shows the assembled case half 4 the frame profile 21 pointing to the other half of the case, by the frame bar 32b and the two mirror-symmetrical Lock brackets 30 to the closed Frame 22 is added.
