Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure device for bags, suitcases, beauty cases and the like.
  • closure devices which comprise a hook formed at one end of a lever on whose other end a holding device is formed.
  • the lever pivots about a spindle which in turn is located at one end of an arm hinged to an edge of one of the two half-shells forming the suitcase, for example to the base.
  • Closure devices of this type are used both for front closures and for closures on the two sides of the suitcases.
  • this object has been achieved with a closure device for bags, suitcases, beauty cases or the like comprising a first half-shell and a second half-shell, the said device being characterized in that it comprises a hook mounted on the first half-shell, a corresponding catch mounted on the second half-shell, means for elastically urging the catch into a condition suitable for engagement with the hook, and opening means that can be operated for disengaging the catch from the hook, the hook and the catch forming a mutual snap releasable engagement by pushing the first and second half-shells towards each other.
  • Figure 1 shows diagrammatically a suitcase 100 comprising a first half-shell or base 101 and a second half-shell or lid 102.
  • a closure device according to the present invention comprises a first part 1, mounted on an edge 2 of the first half-shell 101, and a second part 3 mounted on an edge 4 of the second half-shell 102, in a position corresponding to the first part 1.
  • the first part 1 of the closure device comprises a protrusion 5 projecting from the edge 2 of the first half-shell 101 towards the edge 4 of the second half-shell 102 and possesses, in the vicinity of a free edge, a seat 6, which may be a rectangular opening with sloping walls.
  • the protrusion 5 is inserted between the edge 2 and an external cap 7 that has a cylindrical projection 10 engaging in a through hole 11 in the protrusion 5.
  • the cap 7 is housed between two shoulders 17 which are preferably in one piece with the edge 2 and extend at right angles to the outline of the edge 2 itself.
  • the shoulders 17 each have ribs 170 running longitudinally with respect to the shoulders 17 and these fit into corresponding grooves 171 formed in side walls of the cap 7.
  • the cap 7 is clamped to the edge 2, with the interposition of the protrusion 5, e.g. by a screw 8 screwed into a through hole 9 in the edge 2 which extends into a corresponding hole 12 in the cylindrical projection 10.
  • the second part 3 of the closure device comprises a seat 13 into which the protrusion 5 can be inserted.
  • a slot 14 defined by a transverse member 15 which is preferably in one piece with the edge 4.
  • the sides of the seat 13 are defined by two shoulders 16, preferably in one piece with the edge 4, and these extend at right angles to the outline of the edge 4 itself.
  • a cap 18 is housed between the shoulders 16; the shoulders 16 are each provided with ribs 160 extending longitudinally with respect to the shoulders and fitting into corresponding grooves formed in side walls on the cap 18.
  • the cap 18 is fixed to the edge 4 e.g.
  • the spindle 19 also acts as an axis of rotation for an opening lever 21 that is housed in a concavity 22, formed above in the cap 18, and is urged by other elastic means, such as for example another spiral spring 25 or a pair of spiral springs 25, one on either side of the catch 20, towards a rest position (shown for example in Figures 5 and 6) in which the lever 21 is housed in the concavity 22.
  • One end 26 of the catch 20, remote from the end 28 projecting into the back of the seat 13, is designed to abut against an edge 27 of the lever 21 in order to provide an end stop to the rotation of the catch 20 under the action of the spring 24.
  • the opening lever 21 also contains a recess 30 in which is housed a sliding locking button 23 that slides between a first position, shown in Figures 2, 5 and 8, and a second position, shown in Figures 6 and 7.
  • a sliding locking button 23 that slides between a first position, shown in Figures 2, 5 and 8, and a second position, shown in Figures 6 and 7.
  • one end 29 of the button 23, being wedged under the lever 21 between the latter's edge 27 and the end 26 of the catch 20 tends to turn the catch 20 about the spindle 19 so that the catch 20, at rest, adopts a first angular position with respect to the spindle 19.
  • a rubber seal 250 is also provided.
  • the closure device described above works in the following manner.
  • the locking button 23 is first moved into the advanced position in which its end 29 is pushing the catch 20 into the first angular position ( Figure 8), and all that is then required is to lift the opening lever 21: this produces the rotation about the spindle 19 and consequently lifts the catch 20, whose end 28 disengages from the opening 6 of the protrusion 5 and allows it to be withdrawn from the seat 13.
  • the rubber seal 250 which when the suitcase is closed is compressed, helps in opening the suitcase because as it expands it pushes the two half-shells 101 and 102 apart.
  • closure device described above can be used as a closures device for both the front and sides of a suitcase of rigid or soft type, alone or in combination with closure devices of other kinds, or in beauty cases, or in bags.
