In Fig. 2 ist das zweite Gepäckstückteil 6 im geöffneten Zustand dargestellt. Es ist insbesondere eine erste Innenseite 48 sichtbar. Diese Innenseite 48 ist die entsprechende Innenseite zu der ersten Außenseite 10, an der der Handgriff 22 angeordnet ist. Die Außenseite 10 kann, wie im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel, die Längsseite 10 sein. Der Handgriff 22 ist mit dem zweiten Gepäckstückteil 6 verbunden.In Fig. 2 the second piece of luggage 6 is shown in the open state. In particular, a first inner side 48 is visible. This inner side 48 is the corresponding inner side to the first outer side 10, on which the handle 22 is arranged. The outer side 10 may, as in the illustrated embodiment, be the longitudinal side 10. The handle 22 is connected to the second piece of luggage 6.

An dem zweiten Gepäckstückteil 6 ist zumindest ein Hakenelement 30 angeordnet. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind sogar zwei Hakenelemente 30 dargestellt. Aus Fig. 2 kann ferner entnommen werden, dass die Vertiefungen 24 für die Schlösser 12 ebenfalls an der Außenseite 10 angeordnet sind, an der auch der Handgriff 22 angeordnet ist. Das mindestens eine Hakenelement 30 kann vorzugsweise mit dem Handgriff 22 verbunden sein. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Hakenelement 30 mit dem Handgriff verschraubt.At least one hook element 30 is arranged on the second piece of luggage item 6. In the present embodiment, even two hook elements 30 are shown. Out Fig. 2 can also be seen that the recesses 24 are also arranged for the locks 12 on the outside 10, on which the handle 22 is arranged. The at least one hook element 30 can preferably be connected to the handle 22. In the illustrated embodiment, the hook member 30 is bolted to the handle.

Das zweite Rahmenelement 31 kann ferner zumindest eine zweite Vertiefung 50 aufweisen, in der ein Teil des Hakenelements 30 angeordnet ist und mit dem zweiten Rahmenelement 31 verbunden ist. Durch die Anordnung in der zweiten Vertiefung 50 kann die Stabilität der Verbindung zwischen Hakenelement 30 und zweiten Rahmenelement 31 erhöht werden.The second frame member 31 may further include at least a second recess 50 in which a part of the hook member 30 is disposed and connected to the second frame member 31. The arrangement in the second recess 50, the stability of the connection between the hook member 30 and second frame member 31 can be increased.

In Fig. 3 ist das Hakenelement 30 mit erstem und zweitem Rahmenelement 28,31 und erstem und zweitem Gepäckstückteil 4,6 dargestellt. Es ist ein Zustand dargestellt, bei dem das Gepäckstück nicht angehoben ist oder nicht beladen ist. Das erste Rahmenelement 28 weist eine erste Vertiefung 32 auf. Das an dem zweiten Gepäckstückteil 6 angeordnete Hakenelement 30 reicht im geschlossenen Zustand des Gepäckstückkörpers 2 über das erste Rahmenelement 31.In Fig. 3 the hook element 30 is shown with the first and second frame element 28, 31 and the first and second piece of luggage 4, 6. It shows a state in which the luggage is not lifted or not loaded. The first frame element 28 has a first recess 32. The hook element 30 arranged on the second piece of luggage piece 6 reaches over the first frame element 31 in the closed state of the piece of luggage piece 2.

In einem Zustand, in dem das Gepäckstück 1 nicht angehoben ist, greift das Hakenelement 30 nicht in die erste Vertiefung 32 ein. Dies ist in Fig. 3 dargestellt. Das Gepäckstück 1 kann somit in diesem Zustand leicht geöffnet werden. Der Zustand des Öffnens ist in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Aus Fig. 3 geht ferner hervor, dass das erste und das zweite Rahmenelement 28,31 im geschlossenen Zustand mindestens teilweise ineinander greifen. Es greift beispielsweise der Vorsprung 36 des zweiten Rahmenelements 31 in eine Vertiefung 38 des ersten Rahmenelements 28 ein. In der Vertiefung 40 kann ferner ein Dichtungselement vorgesehen sein. Dies ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel nicht dargestellt.In a state where the luggage item 1 is not raised, the hook member 30 does not engage with the first recess 32. This is in Fig. 3 shown. The item of luggage 1 can thus be easily opened in this state. The state of opening is in Fig. 4 shown. Out Fig. 3 also shows that the first and the second frame member 28,31 at least partially engage in the closed state. For example, the projection 36 of the second frame element 31 engages in a recess 38 of the first frame element 28. In the recess 40 may further be provided a sealing element. This is not shown in the illustrated embodiment.

Aus Fig. 5 kann entnommen werden, dass das Hakenelement 30 in einem Zustand, in dem das Gepäckstück beladen und an dem Handgriff 22 angehoben ist, in die erste Vertiefung 32 eingreift. Auf diese Weise wird verhindert, dass ein Spalt zwischen erstem und zweitem Gepäckstückteil 4,6 entsteht. In Fig. 5 ist dargestellt, dass aufgrund des beladenen Koffers eine Kraft 46 auf das erste Gepäckstückteil 4 im angehobenen Zustand wirkt, wohingegen eine Kraft 44 über den Griff auf das zweite Gepäckstückteil 6 wirkt. Dadurch wird der Vorsprung 48 des Hakenelements 30 in die erste Vertiefung 32 eingeführt.Out Fig. 5 It can be seen that the hook element 30 engages in the first recess 32 in a state in which the bag is loaded and lifted on the handle 22. In this way it is prevented that a gap between the first and second piece of luggage 4,6 arises. In Fig. 5 It is shown that due to the loaded suitcase, a force 46 acts on the first piece of luggage 4 in the raised state, whereas a force 44 acts on the second piece of luggage piece 6 via the handle. Thereby, the projection 48 of the hook member 30 is inserted into the first recess 32.

Das Hakenelement 30 kann mit dem zweiten Rahmenelement 31 verbunden, insbesondere festgeschraubt und/oder festgeklebt, sein. Das erste und das zweite Rahmenelement 28,31 können jeweils mit dem ersten und dem zweiten Gepäckstückteil 4,6 verklebt, verschraubt und/oder vernietet sein. Das erste und/oder das zweite Rahmenelement 28,31 können aus Metall bestehen.The hook element 30 may be connected to the second frame element 31, in particular screwed and / or glued. The first and the second frame element 28, 31 can each be adhesively bonded, screwed and / or riveted to the first and the second piece of luggage 4, 6. The first and / or the second frame element 28, 31 may be made of metal.
