Definitions

  • the invention relates to a case according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Cases are also known which are provided on the front side with swivel castor inserts which have a small swivel castor with a diameter of approximately 30 mm. These castors are countersunk in a pot that is inserted into the front of the case.
  • the disadvantage of the known swivel casters is that they are arranged at a greater distance from the main surfaces of the case, so that the base width between the two swivel castors is small. In connection with the small diameter of the castors, there is then a strong tendency of the case to tilt, even in the case of smaller uneven floors or smaller sleepers, which requires increased attention when the case is being rolled.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a case of the type mentioned in such a way that it can also be rolled up stable and stable against tipping.
  • the invention advantageously provides that on the upper case corners of the first vertical narrow side there is in each case a swivel castor which can be pivoted about an axis of rotation parallel to the top of the case and has at least one castor whose axis of rotation is at a distance from the main surface of the respective case shell and from the top of the case shell, which is a maximum of 2.5 cm, preferably a maximum of 2 cm.
  • the arrangement of the axis of rotation of the swivel castor at a short distance from the top of the case and from the main surface of the suitcase results in the widest possible base width between the two swivel castors on the corners of the suitcase, which increases the stability of the suitcase.
  • the tendency to tilt is reduced by improving the position of the axes of rotation of the castors relative to the center of gravity of the case.
  • the axis of rotation of the rollers runs parallel to the vertical narrow side of the case at a distance from the axis of rotation of the steering roller. This misalignment of the axles means that the steering roller can be easily steered due to the lever forces acting on it.
  • the at least one roller of the steering roller one Has a diameter of approximately 35 to 70 mm, preferably 40 to 60 mm.
  • the use of a large roller also reduces the risk of tipping over with smaller sleepers and obstacles.
  • the protrusion of the at least one roller relative to the level of the first vertical narrow side is approximately 15 mm. At such a distance, on the one hand, smaller obstacles can still be run over without the case touching down, on the other hand the steering roller does not protrude so far from the vertical narrow side that it interferes with the normal position of the case.
  • the swivel castor preferably has two parallel coaxially mounted castors, the running planes of which run at the same distance from the axis of rotation of the swivel castor.
  • Such a swivel castor gives the case greater stability and reduces the risk of tipping over to the side.
  • the steering roller is mounted in a housing which has a flange for fastening to the main surface of the upper side and the first vertical narrow side.
  • a recess is provided in the housing, in which the swivel castor is arranged in a recessed manner and can be pivoted freely.
  • 1 is a case according to the invention with a set of castors and a set of castors
  • 2 is a plan view of the vertical narrow side of the case provided with rollers
  • FIG. 4 is a view of a case corner provided with castors, in the direction indicated in FIG. 1, and
  • Fig. 5 is a view of the same case corner, in the direction indicated in Fig. 1.
  • the case shown in FIG. 1 consists of two case shells 3, 4, each having a main surface 2, each of which has a frame 7 which is adapted to one another.
  • a handle 5 is attached to the case shell 4 approximately in the center of the horizontal upper side 6 of the case.
  • Parallel to the upper side 6 is the normally horizontal standing surface 10 of the case, at the one end 8 of which is arranged on the case corners 12, 14 rollers 16 which are relative to the standing surface 10 and the adjoining first, normally vertical narrow side 18 of the case Case trays 3.4 survive.
  • the rollers 16 rotate about a rigid axis of rotation running parallel to the base 10 and to the narrow side 18.
  • a corner protector 15 is provided on each of the upper and lower corners of the normally vertical second narrow side 20.
  • a swivel castor 30 Arranged on the upper case corners 24, 26 of the first vertical narrow side 18 are in each case a swivel castor 30, which can be pivoted about an axis of rotation 28 parallel to the upper side 6 of the case shells 3, 4, with at least one roller 32, 34.
  • the axis of rotation 28 has a small distance a from the main surface 2 and a small distance b from the top 6 of the respective case shells 3, 4. This distance is a maximum of approximately 25 mm, preferably a maximum of 20 mm.
  • the swivel castor 30 consists of a swivel castor housing 48 which can be pivoted about an axis of rotation 28 which is parallel to the upper side 6 of the case.
  • two spaced-apart rollers 32, 34 are mounted coaxially on an axis 46 orthogonal to the axis of rotation 28, which is offset by a distance c from the axis of rotation 28.
  • the distance a of the axis of rotation 28 relative to the main surface 2 and the distance b of the axis of rotation 28 relative to the upper side 6 are preferably the same.
  • the diameter of the rollers 32.34 is 50 mm.
  • the mutual distance between the rollers is 30 mm, while the projection d of the rollers 32, 34 relative to the first vertical narrow side 18 is approximately 15 mm.
  • the distances a, b are approximately 20 to 25 mm.
  • the swivel castor housing 48 is connected via a fixed pin to a housing 40 with a flange 42, the flange 42 being connected to the main surface 2 of the upper side 6 and the first vertical narrow side 18 of both case halves 3, 4 via rivets 50.
  • a corresponding recess is provided on the upper case corners 24, 26 tion formed in the case walls.
  • the housing 40 for the swivel castor 30 has a recess 44 in which the swivel castor 30 is arranged so that it is recessed, for example in the manner shown in FIGS. project position shown only with respect to the vertical narrow side 18.
  • the steering roller 30 is freely pivotable within the recess 44.
  • the castors 30 can also be mounted in the case shells 24, 26 in a recess corresponding to the recess 44 without the housing 40 if the case shells 3, 4 are designed accordingly.
  • the small distance a between the axis of rotation 28 and the main surface 2, as well as the offset arrangement of the rollers 32 relative to the axis of rotation 28 enable a base width of the case to be supported, which is practically the entire width of the narrow side 18 of the case stretches. If the case is placed upright so that it runs on the two rollers 16 and the two steering rollers 30, a high level of stability and security against tipping is thus ensured, which is further improved by the use of large rollers 32, 34.
  • the swivel castors 30 with two castors 32, 34 have the property of rotating without great resistance, so that the case with the fold-out handle 22 in the upright form can be guided very easily and comfortably, without minor unevenness in the floor surface and there is an increased risk of tipping over smaller obstacles.
