  • the present invention relates to a rigid suitcase made of molded plastic, especially polypropylene injected under pressure, comprising a main shell and a cover connected by hinge means to the main hull, said main hull comprising a bottom and front peripheral walls, rear and side and being internally lined with a textile covering which follows the shape of the shell and the upper edges of which are pressed against the edges corresponding superiors of the interior faces of peripheral walls of the hull by an element of restraint which is retained at said edges upper hull devices by means immobilization of said retaining element.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy to the disadvantages of known techniques and to propose a suitcase of the aforementioned type allowing the establishment economic of a textile coating whose presence is appreciated by suitcase buyers.
  • the suitcase of the type aforementioned is characterized in that the retaining element is a substantially rigid element whose ends are fixed to each other so as to regulate the length of said retainer so as to press said retaining element against the interior faces of said peripheral walls, these free ends preferably also being retained in the vicinity of the upper edge of the inner face of one of said peripheral walls of the shell, the retaining element advantageously being threaded in a hem or in hem sections along the top edges peripheral walls of the textile covering.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a rigid suitcase 1 in material molded plastic, e.g. injected prolypropylene under pressure.
  • Suitcase 1 has a main shell 2 and a cover 3 connected by means forming hinges 4 to the main hull 2.
  • the main hull 2 comprises a bottom 5 and peripheral walls respectively front 6, rear 7 and side 8, 9.
  • the shell 2 is coated internally with a textile covering 10 which matches the shape of the shell 2 and which includes a bottom 11, and peripheral walls respectively front 12, rear 13 and side 14, 15, that we distinguish here to facilitate the description below, but which may consist of a band single textile fabric sewn on the periphery of the bottom 11 and whose longitudinal ends are sewn to each other.
  • a textile covering 10 which matches the shape of the shell 2 and which includes a bottom 11, and peripheral walls respectively front 12, rear 13 and side 14, 15, that we distinguish here to facilitate the description below, but which may consist of a band single textile fabric sewn on the periphery of the bottom 11 and whose longitudinal ends are sewn to each other.
  • the upper edges 12a, 13a, 14a, 15a of peripheral walls 12 to 15 of the textile covering 10 are retained along the corresponding upper edges 6a, 7a, 8a, 9a of the interior faces 6b, 7b, 8b, 9b of the peripheral walls 6 to 9 of the shell 2 by an element retainer 16 which is retained at said edges upper peripherals 6a to 9a of the shell 2 by means for immobilizing said retaining element 16.
  • the suitcase of the type aforementioned is characterized in that the retaining element is a substantially rigid element 16 whose free ends 16a, 16b are fixed to each other so as to adjust the length of said retainer 16 so as to press said retaining element 16 against the inner faces 6b, 7b, 8b, 9b of said peripheral walls 6, 7, 8, 9.
  • the retaining element 16 is advantageously threaded into a hem or hem sections 22 formed along the upper edges 12a, 13a, 14a, 15a peripheral walls 12, 13, 14, 15 of the coating textile 10.
  • the retaining element 16 is preferably a profile forming spring 16 adapted to resume so elastic its place against the upper edges 6a, 7a, 8a, 9a of said peripheral walls 6, 7, 8, 9 if it is excluded from these for any reason.
  • the face interior 6b of a first wall 6 of the shell main 2 comprises means forming a shoulder 17 projecting inwards to support the profile 16 at the upper edge 6a of said inner face 6b.
  • the shoulder 17 extends to the bottom 5 and made with the perpendicular to the bottom 5 a small angle corresponding to the usual draft angle in this technical area.
  • the suitcase 1 includes means for connect the free ends 16a, 16b of the profile forming spring 16 to each other and to the upper edge corresponding 7a of the inner face 7b of a second peripheral wall 7 of the shell 2 opposite the first wall 6 (see figure 8).
  • the first peripheral wall 6 is the front wall which has a handle 18 for carry the suitcase 1
  • the second peripheral wall 7 is the rear wall 7 which carries the means forming hinges 4.
  • Such a handle 18 is usually mounted pivotally on a handle support 18a housed in a recess 17a complementary to the shoulder 17.
  • the textile covering 10 has a flap 19 attached at one end, for example by sewing, to the rear wall 13 of the textile covering 10 under the profile forming a spring 16, and at its end opposite to the rear wall 20 of the cover 3, for example by means a cover plate 21 screwed onto the wall 20, by covering the spring profile 16 and the hinge means 4.
  • the profile forming a spring 16 is threaded in a hem or in sections of hems or similar loops 22 formed on along the upper edges 12a to 15a of the walls peripherals 12 to 15 of the textile covering 10.
  • the first wall 12 of the textile covering 10 is integral with stiffening means 23 fixed to the first wall 6 of the shell 2 at the same time as said first wall 12 of the covering 10.
  • the stiffening means 23 are rendered integral with the first wall 12 of the covering 10, by example by bites, diagrammed in 24, crossing and / or surrounding the stiffening means 23 which preferably extend substantially over the entire height of the first wall 6 of the shell 2.
  • the means of stiffening 23 consist of a plate substantially rigid 23 extending substantially from the bottom 5 of the shell 2 to the profile forming a spring 16 and fixed to the first wall 6 of the shell 2 in preferably covering the first wall 12 of the textile covering 10.
  • the plate 23 is preferably covered by at least one pocket 25 formed between a bottom wall 26, adjacent to plate 23, and a wall inner 27 of said pocket 25.
  • the walls 26 and 27 are arranged and connected to each other and to the first wall 12 of the covering 10, for example by bites, so as to immobilize the plate 23 relative to to the first wall 12.
  • two pockets 25 are separated one of the other by an intermediate stitch 28 substantially perpendicular to the bottom 11 of the covering 10.
  • the bite 28 connects the two walls 26, 27 of the pockets 25 together, the plate 23 and the first wall 12 of the covering 10.
  • This assembly fixed to the front wall 6 of the shell 2, ensures in combination with the profile forming spring 16, which rests on the shoulder 17 and which plates the upper edges 12a, 13a, 14a and 15a of the coating 10 against the corresponding upper edges 6a, 7a, 8a, 9a of the shell 2, effective support and satisfactory of the textile covering 10 inside hull 2.
  • the suitcase 1 is a suitcase of a known type made of polypropylene injected under pressure.
  • Suitcase 1 includes three locks of the type knee support 30, 31, 32 respectively provided on the front wall 6 and on the front part of the walls side 8, 9 of hull 2 and each installed in a recess 17a, 33a, of the outer face of the wall peripheral 6, 8, 9 corresponding so that in the closed position of the suitcase 2 and the locks 30, 31, 32, the backs of the locks are flush with the outside corresponding without offering a projecting part susceptible to shock and deterioration or torn off.
  • Each recess is arranged in such a way that it corresponds to a shoulder 17, 33, 34 projecting towards inside, and near the top edge, the inner face 6b, 8b, 9b of the wall 6, 8, 9 corresponding.
  • the three shoulders 17, 33, 34 and the means to connect the free ends of profile 16 to the edge upper 7a of the rear wall 7 are substantially in the same plane to support or maintain the profile 16 in position.
  • the textile covering is made of a fabric any known.
  • the spring profile 16 is known in itself. It is constituted for example by a strip forming PVC or ABS spring having for example a thickness about 1.5 or 2 mm and a height of about 10 mm.
  • the shell 2 can comprise, in a known manner, two elastic straps 35 stretched between the front wall 6 and the rear wall 7 and each provided with additional links adapted to be connected one to the other.
  • the front walls and rear 12, 13, of the textile covering 10 include buttonholes, shown diagrammatically at 36, each allowing the passage from a corresponding end of a strap to through said wall 12, 13 for attachment, in any known manner, from each end to a fixing element 37 known in itself and arranged on the inner face 6b, 7b of the wall 6, 7 shell 2.
