Die Ausführungsbeispiele der Fign. 1 und 3 zeigen einen Koffer 1 mit ungleich großen Schalenteilen 2,3, wobei die untere größere Kofferschale 2 auf der oberen Kofferfläche einen Handgriff 16 aufweist. Neben dem Handgriff 16 kann zusätzlich ein Schloss 18, vorzugsweise ein Zahlenschloss, angeordnet sein, an dem die Zuglaschen des Reißverschlusses befestigt und verriegelt werden können.The exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 3 show a case 1 with shell parts 2, 3 of different sizes, the lower, larger case shell 2 having a handle 16 on the upper case surface. In addition to the handle 16, a lock 18, preferably a combination lock, can also be arranged, to which the pull tabs of the zipper can be attached and locked.
Die Kofferschalen 2,3,7,8 bestehen vorzugsweise aus Polykarbonat.The case shells 2,3,7,8 are preferably made of polycarbonate.
Die obere Kofferschale 3 besteht aus einer transparenten Außenschale 7 und einer in gleicher Weise wie die Kofferschale 2 durchgefärbten Innenschale 8. Sowohl die Außenschale 7 als auch die Innenschale 8 sind mit dem Kederband 5b und dem Reißverschluss vernäht. Zusätzlich ist ein Innenfutter 15 an der Innenseite der Innenschale 8 befestigt, wobei das Innenfutter 15 zumindest im oberen Bereich beispielsweise mit einem Klettverschluss 15 oder einem umlaufenden Klettband lösbar befestigt ist.The upper case shell 3 consists of a transparent outer shell 7 and an inner shell 8 dyed through in the same way as the case shell 2. Both the outer shell 7 and the inner shell 8 are sewn with the welt band 5b and the zipper. In addition, an inner lining 15 is fastened to the inside of the inner shell 8, the inner lining 15 being releasably fastened at least in the upper region, for example with a Velcro fastener 15 or a circumferential Velcro strip.
Zwischen der Außenschale 7 und der Innenschale 8 ist ein Zwischenraum vorgesehen, in den, wie am besten aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, ein Blatt 10 mit einer Abbildung eingefügt werden kann.Between the outer shell 7 and the inner shell 8 there is a space into which, as can best be seen from FIG. 2, a sheet 10 with an image can be inserted.
Hierzu ist nicht nur das Innenfutter 12 an der Oberseite über den Klettverschluss 15 lösbar, sondern auch die Innenschale 8 mit einem Stanzschnitt 9 versehen, der es ermöglicht, einen Teil der Innenschale 8, der eine Trägerfläche 6 für das Blatt 10 bildet, nach innen zu verschwenken, um, wie in Fig. 2 ersichtlich, das Blatt 10 in den .Zwischenraum einfügen zu können. Der Stanzschnitt 9 ist vorzugsweise an drei Seiten der Trägerfläche 6 der Innenschale 8 ausgeführt, so dass die Trägerfläche 6 um eine gradlinige Kante 11 fast in der Art eines Filmscharniers schwenkbar ist.For this purpose, not only is the inner lining 12 detachable at the top via the Velcro fastener 15, but also the inner shell 8 is provided with a punched cut 9, which makes it possible for a part of the inner shell 8, which forms a carrier surface 6 for the sheet 10, to be drawn inwards pivot in order to be able to insert the sheet 10 into the intermediate space, as can be seen in FIG. 2. The die cut 9 is preferably carried out on three sides of the support surface 6 of the inner shell 8, so that the support surface 6 can be pivoted about a straight edge 11 almost in the manner of a film hinge.
In Fig. 1 ist die auf dem Blatt 10 ersichtliche Abbildung durch die transparente Außenschale 8 hindurch ersichtlich.In FIG. 1, the image visible on the sheet 10 can be seen through the transparent outer shell 8.
Die Abbildung auf dem Blatt 10 kann eine fotografische Abbildung, eine grafische Darstellung, einen Firmennamen oder dgl. wiedergeben.The illustration on sheet 10 may represent a photographic illustration, a graphic representation, a company name or the like.
Es versteht sich, dass der Stanzschnitt auch eine andere Form aufweisen kann und dass auch beide Kofferschalen 2,3 zur Aufnahme eines Blattes 10 ausgerüstet sein können. Selbst die Seitenflächen der Kofferschale 2 könnten entsprechend gestaltet sein.It goes without saying that the die cut can also have a different shape and that both case shells 2, 3 can also be equipped for receiving a sheet 10. Even the side surfaces of the case shell 2 could be designed accordingly.
Bei einem alternativen, nicht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist es auch möglich, die Außenschale 7 nicht oder nur an der unteren Kante des Koffers mit dem Kederband 5b zu vernähen, so dass die Außenschale 7 relativ zu der Innenschale 8 nach außen verschwenkbar ist. Die Außenschale 7 ist dann in geeigneter Weise an den seitlichen Rändern und/ oder am oberen Rand an der Innenschale 8 befestigt, beispielsweise über Druckknöpfe. Auch bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel lässt sich ein Blatt 10 zwischen Außenschale 7 und Innenschale 8 einfügen.In an alternative embodiment, not shown, it is also possible not to sew the outer shell 7 or only at the lower edge of the case with the welt strip 5b, so that the outer shell 7 can be pivoted outward relative to the inner shell 8. The outer shell 7 is then suitably attached to the side edges and / or at the upper edge of the inner shell 8, for example by means of push buttons. In this exemplary embodiment too, a sheet 10 can be inserted between the outer shell 7 and the inner shell 8.
Fig. 1 zeigt einen Koffer, bei dem die Kofferschale 2 und die Außenschale 7 eine horizontale Rillenstruktur 18 aufweist, während Fig. 3 einen derartigen Koffer mit glatter Kofferoberfläche zeigt.1 shows a case in which the case shell 2 and the outer shell 7 have a horizontal groove structure 18, while FIG. 3 shows such a case with a smooth case surface.
Fig. 4 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch die Kofferschale 3 des Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß Fig. 1, bei dem die Außenschale 7 die Rillenstruktur 18 aufweist. Die Innenschale 8, die das Blatt 10 auf der Trägerfläche 6 aufnimmt, weist eine glatte Außenoberfläche auf. Das Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt, dass ein Blatt 10 auch bei einer nicht ebenen Oberfläche der Außenschale 7 einsetzbar ist. FIG. 4 shows a cross section through the case shell 3 of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, in which the outer shell 7 has the groove structure 18. The inner shell 8, which receives the sheet 10 on the carrier surface 6, has one smooth outer surface. The exemplary embodiment shows that a sheet 10 can also be used with a non-flat surface of the outer shell 7.
