Definitions

  • the invention relates to luggage, and more specifically towable luggage, commonly called trolleys ® .
  • Such luggage generally comprises a container, which forms the useful part of the luggage, a sheath fixed to the container, and a rod generally provided with a projecting handle and slidably mounted in the sheath between a retracted position, in which the cane is received in the sheath for carrying the baggage or its storage, and an extended position in which the rod extends cantilever relative to the sheath to facilitate the towing of the baggage.
  • Towable luggage with telescopic rods has been known for a long time. If the telescopic rod improves the ergonomics of luggage, it is not without posing some practical problems.
  • the rod is provided with a two-position lock, namely a locking position in which the latch locks the rod in the retracted position, and an unlock position in which he releases.
  • a trigger manually actuatable, causes the lock to be placed in its unlocked position, thereby freeing the rod that can be deployed to allow towing of the luggage.
  • a trigger coupled to springs optionally allows the rod to jump out of its housing to facilitate its grip for towing.
  • the invention aims in particular to remedy this problem, by proposing a luggage of towable type, which is less sensitive to shocks than known baggage.
  • the proposed luggage of the aforementioned type, comprises the features as defined in claim 1.
  • the rod retains in retracted position a certain stroke that allows it to sink under the effect of a particularly vertical shock, with a damping effect of shock provided by the elastic member. This results in better impact resistance of the cane (and therefore, more generally, luggage).
  • the elastic member In the retracted position of the rod, the elastic member is preferably prestressed.
  • the elastic member comprises at least one compression spring, and preferably a pair of compression springs.
  • the elastic member is for example mounted in a support fixed to the sheath.
  • the elastic member has a lower portion received in a housing formed in the support, and an upper portion protruding from the support and against which the cane is in abutment, the upper portion defining a clearance between the cane and the support.
  • the rod may be sufficient that the rod is in simple support on this upper portion.
  • the rod in the retracted position, compresses the elastic member.
  • the cane may comprise snap-fastening means which ensure a retention of the rod in the retracted or deployed position.
  • latching means comprise for example a ball, mounted in the rod, biased by a spring and adapted to cooperate with a hole in the sleeve.
  • the rod may comprise an outer tube slidably mounted in the sleeve, and an inner tube slidably mounted in the outer tube, the outer tube comprising a ball biased by a spring and adapted to cooperate with a hole in the sleeve, the inner tube comprising a ball biased by a spring and adapted to cooperate with a hole in the outer tube.
  • the container may be made of a flexible or semi-rigid material.
  • This luggage 1 comprises a container 2 (shown in dashed lines) of flexible, semi-rigid or rigid material, which constitutes the body of the luggage 1, mounted and fixed on a frame 3 in the form of a devil.
  • the chassis 3 comprises a monobloc plate 4 having a base 5 on which the container 2 rests, extended by a rear flange 6 in the extension of which protrude two reinforcements 7 which is fixed the container 2.
  • the base 5 and the flange 6 are connected on each side by two sidewalls 8 which form wheel wells (not represented).
  • the luggage 1 is furthermore equipped with a telescopic rod 9 having a protruding handle and slidably mounted relative to the frame 3.
  • the telescopic rod 9 may be made in one piece or in several pieces sliding one in the other, as shown in the drawings.
  • the frame 3 comprises a sleeve 10 which protrudes from the rear flange 6, substantially perpendicularly to the base 5.
  • This sleeve 10, which extends over most of the height of the container 2, is fixed to it by being received in a recess (not shown) formed in a rear wall 11 of the container 2.
  • the rod 9 comprises a hollow outer tube 13, received in the sheath 12 being slidably mounted relative thereto, and an inner tube 14, also hollow, received in the outer tube 13 being slidably mounted relative to that -this.
  • the outer tube 13 is integral with an insert 16 fitted with a bore 17 blind in which is received a compression spring 18 which urges a ball 19 towards the sheath 12.
  • the ball 19 is partially received in a hole 20 (respectively 20 '), d a diameter smaller than that of the ball 19, made in the sheath 12 to ensure the retention of the outer tube 13 (in retracted position, Cf. figure 3 , respectively deployed, Cf. figure 8 ).
  • the inner tube 14 comprises an insert 22 fitted with a blind bore 23 in which is received a compression spring 24 which biases a ball 25 towards the outer tube 13.
  • the ball 25 is partially received in a hole 26 (26 'respectively), of a diameter smaller than that of the ball 25, formed in the outer tube 13 to ensure the retention of the inner tube 14 (in the retracted position, cf. figure 3 , respectively deployed, Cf. figure 7 ).
  • the bores 17, 23 are oriented opposite each other, so as to allow a relative balancing of the internal forces exerted on the rod 9.
  • the rod 9 ends, at an upper end 27, by an annular handle 28 nested in the inner tube 14 and permanently attached thereto.
  • the luggage 1 further comprises an elastic member 29, interposed between the rod 9 and the sleeve 10, and which, in the retracted position of the rod 9, exerts thereon a restoring force which urges it towards its deployed position.
  • the elastic member 29 comprises at least one compression spring.
  • two Compression springs 29 are provided parallel, mounted in a common support reported, fixed (for example by means of a screw 31) to the sheath 10 at the bottom thereof.
  • Each spring 29 has a lower portion 32 received in a complementary cylindrical housing 33 which provides both the abutment (or the hooking) and the guide of the spring 29.
  • each spring 29 has an upper portion 34 which protrudes from an upper face 35 of the support 30 (on the side of which the housings 33 open) and ends with an upper end 36 against which the rod 9, via a lower face 37 of the insert 16 is in simple support.
  • the springs 29 define, in the retracted position of the rod 9, a clearance J between the latter and the support 30 (more exactly between the lower face 37 of the insert 16 and the upper face 35 of the support 30) , this game allowing the depression of the rod 9 in the sleeve 10 beyond its retracted position (as shown in dotted lines on the figure 3 ), against the return force of the springs 29.
  • the rod 9, in its retracted position undergoes, via the handle 28, a force (for example following a shock) directed in particular parallel to its direction of sliding and in the direction of its retraction, the game J arranged by the springs 29 allow it to sink elastically.
  • the cane 9 finds, thanks to the springs 29, its retracted position as soon as this effort disappears.
  • the springs 29 therefore have a cushioning function of the shocks suffered by the rod 9, which minimizes both the risk of damage (or even rupture) thereof and the impact of the shocks to the luggage 1 as a whole (for the benefit of the integrity of the goods he transports).
