  • the international patent application WO 96/02160 suggests the applicant a case with variable capacity, in which the shells of the case are releasably connected to the frame halves of a central part. Thereby the user can use bowls of different depths and / or bowls of different shapes use with one and the same middle part. In this way, the suitcase volume can be started adjust the luggage volume required in each case.
  • a particularly simple and user-friendly one easy-to-use locking system for such interchangeable case shells is described in the applicant's international patent application WO 98/35577.
  • the middle part of this case with the two hinged frame halves usually consists Made of light metal or a rigid plastic, while the shells either consist of a rigid plastic and are designed as hard shells or as Soft shells made of a soft or elastic material, such as leather, fabric, fabric or can consist of a thin light metal sheet.
  • soft shells the shell area in which the locking means for attaching the shell to the respective frame half are provided, stiffened.
  • soft shells be provided with suitable stiffening agents at the edge of the shell.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a piece of luggage, in particular one To provide a suitcase or bag of the type described above, which in use of a high-quality middle section can be produced inexpensively and in a wide range of variations can.
  • the object of the present invention is a piece of luggage with interchangeable To provide trays in the manner of WO 96/02160 or WO 98/35577, where soft shells can be easily and easily used with a stiff middle section can.
  • the present invention accordingly relates to a piece of luggage, in particular a piece of luggage Suitcase or bag, with a middle part, which consists of two hinged stable Frame halves exist which, as carriers of two, define the interior of the luggage Serve shells, which is characterized in that between each frame half and the associated shell a connection frame is arranged, which has a groove, in which is the shell fixed.
  • the connection frame provided according to the invention it is possible to make a suitcase or a bag with different shells. In the manufacturing process, only the shell provided in each case has to be inserted into the groove of the connecting frame introduced and fixed there. Production can therefore be very inexpensive respectively.
  • the shells can be made of any material and largely have any shape and color design. Only the edge of the bowl must be designed so that it corresponds to the profile and the width of the groove. It can therefore the same frame for plastic hard shells as well as for leather, Fabric or aluminum shells can be used.
  • the groove of the connecting frame is preferably designed as a circumferential groove, so that after inserting the shell, a case half is defined, which is sealed off from the outside is.
  • Suitable sealing means such as sealing tapes, can additionally be located in the groove or sealing lips can be arranged.
  • the shells are force and / or positively inserted into the groove and generally cannot by the user more to be removed.
  • the shells can be made into one during the manufacturing process Be pressed groove, the clear width slightly less than the wall thickness of the shell in Edge area is. It is also possible to provide locking means in the groove into which complementary locking means provided at the edge of the shell when inserting the shell into the groove intervention.
  • the shell in the groove of the connecting frame fix For example, the shell can be glued in the groove or with the Connection frames are welded, riveted or sewn.
  • the shell is sewn to the connecting frame, the connecting frame in this case preferably has a groove with a projecting wall, on which the shell rests when inserted. In the area of projecting The seam can then be drawn on the wall using suitable industrial sewing machines. Such sewing machines, the fabric layers and / or plastic layers with a typical thickness can sew from 10 mm to 20 mm are known per se.
  • connecting frame and frame half in this case preferably form a one-piece injection molded part made of plastic.
  • This embodiment of the invention serves primarily to reduce the manufacturing costs of suitcases, because the same middle part can be made with different shells is and thus the most expensive component of the case produced in very large numbers can be, while at the same time by changing the used in the manufacturing process Shells a large variety of individual cases can be produced.
  • the connecting frame detachable from the user with the associated Half of the frame trained.
  • the desired shells used in the manufacturing process in the groove of the connecting frame and firmly fixed there. If the user wants to use the same middle part with different shells, he can use the easily replace the unit from the actual shell and connection frame.
  • the manufacture of the different shells is also possible very inexpensively, since in the case of the invention Luggage the shells only consist of the actual shell body and have no hinge or locking means.
  • the connecting frame is preferably an injection molded component, for example made of a Plastic material.
  • One can, for example, in the manufacture of the connecting frame Use injection molding tools that are equipped with adjustable slides, so that the Groove width of the connecting frame is varied by adjusting the slide accordingly and can be adapted to the desired thickness of the shell.
  • connection frame preferably be dimensioned so that it is flush with the respective frame half closes, so that essentially only the shells themselves are visible from the outside.
  • the piece of luggage according to the invention with the connecting frame as a transition part between Shell and frame half are particularly suitable for soft case, where the shell, for example made of leather, fabric, soft plastic or a thin one Aluminum sheet or another light metal sheet is made.
  • the connecting frame provided according to the invention is therefore shown in FIG Example formed a separate component that with the manufacturing process Shells is connected.
  • the Connection frame with the respective frame half can also be formed in one piece.
  • This Embodiment differs from the variant shown only in that the connecting frame shown in Figure 4 ff. then additionally with hinge and if necessary.
