Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rolling suitcase vertical.
  • the present invention aims to improve these two qualities what are the lightness and the minimum size per unit during transport.
  • the rolling and pulling is not part of the structure base of the suitcase.
  • the faces stiffened by plastic or wood are riveted to a frame the suitcase.
  • the rolling system is secured to the frame by means of hard and non-deformable elements. The result is a heavy and relatively suitcase dimensionally stable.
  • US-A-5,566,797 discloses a suitcase without a rigid frame.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid duplication between the frame and rolling system.
  • the rolling system itself provides vertical rigidity of the suitcase.
  • the plastic reinforcing parts of the upper faces and lower are stiffened by their curvature and extension on the rear side.
  • the back of the suitcase between the metal joints and the telescopic tubes can advantageously remain partially without support plastic for maximum lightness.
  • a vertical suitcase of essentially rectangular shape is proposed, without a central steel frame surrounding it inside, a suitcase whose faces are made of flexible material, preferably a fabric.
  • the stiffening of the bag is obtained essentially by two tubes joining a lower part or shell and an upper part or shell, extending at least partially in planes perpendicular to said tubes, which will be covered by the fabric on their outer faces, thus only by two metal rods, stiffening the fabric of the lateral faces.
  • the tubes are guides for the rods of a retractable handle provided at the level of the upper part or shell, the upper and lower parts or shells being in the form of a plate or plastic sheet of curved shape defining at least the edges upper and lower rounded edges of the back of the case.
  • the upper and lower parts or shells can be preformed, for example by molding.
  • these parts or shells will be made of semi-rigid plastic.
  • the upper and lower shells consist of two rectangular plates or sheets of semi-rigid plastic, the curved shape of which is imposed mainly on the side rods, preferably metallic.
  • the lower shell is also curved by the curved ends of the aforementioned tubes.
  • the upper shell is kept curved by being fixed in the dorsal face by the aforementioned tubes and in the plane of the upper face by a preferably metallic crosspiece perpendicular to the rods.
  • the shells form the whole or a part substantial upper and lower faces.
  • the central part of the rear side can also include a plate or plastic sheet which does not contribute however substantially the rigidity of the whole but brings an aesthetic effect.
  • a plate or plastic sheet which does not contribute however substantially the rigidity of the whole but brings an aesthetic effect.
  • the items in luggage will not distort as much the fabric side.
  • This plate may be thinner than the aforementioned shells.
  • the two shells are integrated in one piece with the central part supra.
  • the metal rods are provided in the form of two rectangular side frames with rounded corners encircling the fabric side faces.
  • the plastic sheets can advantageously be made of polyethylene, a few millimeters thick (about 3 mm, preferably between 2.5 to 3.5 mm). These sheets, or at least the top sheet, are flexible enough to be able to curve under the effect of the metal rod side frames. They don't are therefore not necessarily thermoformed beforehand.
  • provision will be made for preferably 3 in-line casters placed at the curvature of the lower shell between and of each side of the telescopic tubes.
  • This advantageously allows to compensate for the lack of rigidity of the shell lower and contributes greatly to the stability of all.
  • the casters are partially inserted in openings at the level of the curvature of the lower shell to which they are fixed.
  • the central caster provides better stability and more efficient rolling by avoiding the "duck" effect despite the lightness of the lower shell.
  • the side rollers can be fixed advantageously near the corners.
  • the wheel shells covering the corners and protecting them from impact.
  • the largest track width improves stability.
  • one or more handles may be provided sewn and / or riveted on the upper side (for position vertical) or a side face (for transport in horizontal position).
  • the handle on the upper face will fixed on the reinforcement bar extending over the entire baggage width.
  • the piece will be a piece of metal, e.g. grooved, or plastic, for example with a nest structure of bees.
  • the handle On the side face the handle will be preferably fixed on a simple reinforcement of reduced size shaped like an overstitched in the central part.
  • the stackability is improved in particular by the fact that the upper shell is advantageously cut so that it does not overlap entirely the upper side. Therefore the portion anterior of the upper side, which may correspond to almost 50%, preferably 30 to 40%, of the surface of this one, is more flexible because being made up only of fabric maintained by the lateral metal rods.
  • the side faces encircled by a perimeter in steel (rod) are flexible and can adapt with more of play to receive the side faces of the suitcases lower dimensions. Indeed, there is no framework central steel supporting these side faces and provided between the two large faces, equidistant from them.
  • the suitcases are stackable upside down.
  • FIG. 1 the structure in perspective, partially exploded, of a suitcase of shape essentially parallelipiped arranged horizontally on its rear face 7.
  • a shell lower 2 'and an upper shell 2 are connected by rigid 3 telescopic tubes serving as guides for rods 14, in this example section rods rectangular, with a retractable U-shaped handle 4.
  • side frames 1 of flexible metal rods participate also the rigidity of the whole.
  • the shell lower is curved under the effect of the curvature, here with flattening, from the end of the tubes 3 to form the rounded edge 12 '.
  • the upper shell 2 does not extend not on the entire upper side of the suitcase covered with flexible material, but only about 60%, characteristic of the invention which facilitates stacking upside down.
  • Fig. 2 is an exploded schematic view explaining more the structure of a suitcase according to the invention.
  • the suitcase is shown vertically.
  • Fastening parts 8 are also shown on the shell 2 at the upper end of the tubes telescopic and parts 17 cooperating with the parts 8 for fixing the guides 3 in the areas of fixing 10, 10 'of the shells to these tubes 3, in this example through a rectangular element of reinforcement 11, possibly riveted.
  • the reinforcement pieces 11 and 11 ' are not not essential.
  • Fig. 2 constitutes a variant with respect to FIG. 1 insofar as the tubes each consist of a straight part at least partially telescopic and a curved part made integral in 9 by known means in itself.
  • Figs. 3a to 3c represent in perspective the aspect final of some suitcases according to the invention. We distinguish each time the rear face 7, the feet 6 'and the casters 5. A zipper 20 for opening the face front 27 of the suitcase extends to at least said front part 16, allowing partial opening of the upper side.
  • Fig. 3a illustrates a suitcase for which the rectangular section handle can be retract into a rigid housing and be flush with it so the shell 2. In figure 3b, the handle remains slightly protruding.
  • the handle and its rods with circular cross-section can be fully inserted into a pocket 15 inside the suitcase, resealable with a 15 'flap and a zipper. In this last case, as with the suitcase in fig. 3a, the plate top is cut for this purpose.
  • the solution of the Figure 3c allows the smallest step size for stacking head-to-tail of suitcases.
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a stack in head to tail of two suitcases a and b, of dimensions slightly different, the front face 27a of the suitcase larger being folded outwards by opening with a zipper 20a.
  • the part 16 extending the front face 27 is intended to cover the casters 5b after closing the bag a.
  • Fig. 5 is a schematic sectional view of a stack according to fig. 4.
  • the rollers 5a do not prevent the positioning of case b inside the case a, because the semi-rigid shell 2b does not extend over the entire upper surface, leaving a flexible 16 'part capable of conforming to accommodate a inner part of the rollers 5a.
