Definitions
- This invention relates to a lightweight structured suitcase, that is a suitcase according to the precharacterising clause of claim 1 and a method for its manufacture in accordance with claim 9.
- CH 694 315 A5 discloses a suitcase comprising a first element manufactured from a first polymer material and a second element manufactured from a second polymer material bonded thereto comprising adhesive material located at least partly between the said first element and the said second element, the said adhesive material being capable of joining the said first and the said second element together by adhesive bonding.
- Suitcases of the known type are substantially subdivided into two major types: soft and rigid suitcases.
- Soft suitcases generally made of synthetic material or fabric, are lightweight and flexible but are easily torn and are unable to effectively protect the objects within them against impacts.
- Rigid suitcases are generally provided with shells of rigid metal or polymer material and locks; these are the only ones capable of combining a high level of protection for the objects within them and high resistance to tearing.
- Rigid suitcases are generally formed of two shells with corresponding integral stiffening frames about their perimeter which ensure the mechanical and structural properties necessary for normal use of the suitcase.
- connection between the various components of a suitcase is currently brought about for example through riveting, sewing or stapling,
- adhesive bonding would appear to be particularly advantageous from the point of view of both weight and ease and speed of execution were it not for the difficulties encountered in carrying out bonding operations between plastics materials.
- the object of this invention is to provide a suitcase which makes it possible for two components, such as for example a shell of polymer material and the corresponding frame, to be joined together through adhesive bonding resulting in suitcase structures which are particularly light and at the same time very strong.
- the suitcase illustrated in Figure 1 comprises two elements 1a, 2a, between which there is at least partly provided an adhesive material 3 which is capable of joining them firmly together through adhesive bonding.
- These two elements 1a, 2a are a shell 1a, of polymer material, and a stiffening frame 2a.
- any accessory or equipment such as for example a handle, a lock, a hinge or the frames therefor to the frame of the suitcase may also be considered.
- At least one of the two elements 1a, 2a between which adhesive material 3 is placed to bond them together is made of preferably thermoplastic polymer material; suitable materials may for example be PC, PC/ABS, ABS, PP, HDPE.
- Each of the two shells 1a, 1b, preferably manufactured through the moulding of thin sheets or by injection moulding may be regarded as being defined by a convex external surface 4a, 4b, which is generally visible from the outside, an inner surface 5a, 5b opposite thereto and a closed perimetral surface 6a, 6b.
- At least one of shells 1a, 1b may be formed with a fabric which is incorporated into the plastics material used for moulding.
- Figure 3 also shows a cross-section of stiffening frames 2a, 2b. These are made of polymer material, preferably by extrusion, and comprise a seat 7a, 7b capable of receiving the terminal part of shell 1a, 1b with which it has to be associated, for example inserted along the direction indicated by arrow F in Figures 2 and 3 .
- Seats 7a, 7b are preferably U-shaped, with the two sides of the U substantially parallel with each other.
- Fins 8a, 8b which are substantially in the shape of a rectangular trapezium, with sloping sides forming a guide for shells 1a, 1b, are located along the seat at regular intervals.
- these fins 8a, 8b are located in such a way as to lie inside the suitcase when it is closed.
- First and second elements 1a, 2a each comprise an interface surface, or that part of their surface which comes into contact with adhesive material 3 when the suitcase is assembled.
- Adhesive material 3 which is advantageously silicone based, is then placed in contact with at least one part of the two interface surfaces, advantageously on a part such that it is located over the entire interface surface when the suitcase is assembled.
- adhesive material 3 may be located within seat 7a close to the base of seat 7a.
- adhesive material 3 may be located along the entire length of the base of seat 7a and/or over the entire surface of seat 7a which comes into contact with outer surface 4a of shell 1a. Pre-treatment of the surface parts of fins 8a which will come into contact with the inner surface 5a of shell 1a is also a possibility.
- This pre-treatment comprises suitable activation, for example by plasma activation, preferably using cold plasma, of the part of the interface surface which is to be activated in such a way as to form an activated layer 9 thereupon, the depth of which is particularly shallow, at least such as not to diminish the mechanical properties of the underlying material.
- suitable activation for example by plasma activation, preferably using cold plasma, of the part of the interface surface which is to be activated in such a way as to form an activated layer 9 thereupon, the depth of which is particularly shallow, at least such as not to diminish the mechanical properties of the underlying material.
- This activated layer 9 has the property of being very much more adherent to adhesive material 3 than the material used for the elements which are to be bonded would otherwise be.
- This treatment therefore makes it possible to use polymer materials such as those indicated above when manufacturing bonded suitcases, for which adhesive bonding was hitherto unthinkable, thus achieving an appreciable saving in weight.
- structured suitcases can even be obtained with thin and therefore very light shells whose resistance to squashing and impacts is mainly due to the frames which can be manufactured with the necessary robustness without having an overall disadvantage on the weight of the suitcase.
- Frames 2a and 2b may be used to support means for rotatably joining two parts of the suitcase together as indicated diagrammatically by 10 in Figure 1 .
