Definitions

  • the present invention relates to expandable luggage, preferably luggage for transporting personal possessions during a journey, which can take up different storage volumes depending on requirements.
  • Expandable luggage that meets this requirement by providing a variable storage volume according to requirements is known.
  • EP2545800A1 disclose expandable luggage of this type.
  • EP3372105A1 discloses an expandable luggage according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • This luggage provides that two shells that make the luggage are joined together by two closing mechanisms.
  • a first closing mechanism comprises a first tape made in two half-parts that are joined (closed condition) and separated (open condition) by the sliding of a slider along a zip track.
  • Each half-part is sewn, respectively, at the edge of the first or the second shell of the suitcase.
  • a second closing mechanism comprises a second tape, also made in two half-parts joined (closed condition) and separated (open condition) by the sliding of a further slider along a zip track, wherein each half-part is sewn, respectively, at the edge of the first or the second shell of the suitcase.
  • the two tapes are superimposed over one another so that the first tape conceals the second tape.
  • the second tape has greater transversal dimensions than the first tape, in particular one or both of the half-parts of the second tape have a greater width than the corresponding half-parts of the first tape.
  • the Applicant has found that the maximum storage capacity of the suitcase when in condition of maximum expansion could be obtained by removing the slider from the zip track of the first closing mechanism.
  • the Applicant has, however, noted that the operations necessary to reinsert the slider on the zip track would be too demanding and not always possible for an average user to carry out.
  • the Applicant has also hypothesized not connecting the end portion of the first closing mechanism to the edges of the opposite shells, so as to free such an end portion from the constraint with the shells of the suitcase and allow a free movement thereof.
  • the Applicant has, however, found that, in this way, when the user grips the slider that lies in the unconstrained end portion of the first closing mechanism to close the latter and take the suitcase into the condition of minimum expansion, the slider tends to jam and not to slide along the zip track due to the free movement of the end portion. It is almost always necessary for the user to grip and hold the free end portion of the first closing mechanism with one hand and actuate the slider with the other hand, making the operation not always easy.
  • the Applicant has also found that not connecting the end portion of the first closing mechanism to the edges of the opposite shells obtains an opening that allows access to the gap between the first and the second closing mechanism when the first closing mechanism is superimposed externally to the second. Undesired bodies could accidentally be inserted in such an opening, which could in some cases damage the closing mechanisms themselves.
  • the Applicant has perceived that by connecting the zip track of the first closing mechanism, at the end portion of the latter, to one or both of the edges of the shells so that the zip track can take up different operative distances from the edge(s) of the shells, it is possible to position the zip track at a minimum operating distance to make a configuration of minimum expansion of the luggage and at a maximum operating distance to make a configuration of maximum expansion of the luggage.
  • the present invention therefore refers to an expandable luggage comprising:
  • tape is meant to indicate a substantially tape-like and flexible assembly (monolithic or consisting of many elements joined together) in which two opposite ends can be identified.
  • connection is meant to indicate that an element has a constraint with respect to the element to which it is connected. Such a constraint does not necessarily have to be understood as direct (except when explicitly specified), but can also be understood as an indirect constraint, in other words it can occur by interposition of further intermediate elements between the two elements "connected” together.
  • zip track of a closing mechanism is meant to indicate the path that a slider follows along the closing mechanism to open and close the latter.
  • the luggage according to the present invention can comprise one or more of the following features considered singularly or in combination with each other.
  • the first closing mechanism comprises first and a second tape having respective first longitudinal edges defining the first zip track; the first longitudinal edges being configured to be coupled together to define the closed condition of the first zip track and to be decoupled to define the open condition of the first zip track.
  • connection members operate between the first zip track and both the perimeter edge of the first half-part and the perimeter edge of the second half-part of the luggage.
  • the first portion of the first closing mechanism is connected to both the half-parts of the luggage through the connection members so that the first zip track can take up different operative positions with respect to both the half-parts of the luggage.
  • the first closing mechanism comprises a second portion that is connected respectively to the perimeter edge of the first and the second half-part of the luggage without the help of the connection members.
  • the second portion of the first closing mechanism is preferably connected to the perimeter edge of the first and second half-part of the luggage so that the first zip track, at the second portion of the first closing mechanism, lies a single operating distance from the perimeter edges of the two half-parts of the luggage.
  • the first zip track comprises an end stop for a slider; said end stop being arranged on said first portion of the first closing mechanism.
  • the end stop acts on the first longitudinal edges of the first and the second tape of the first closing mechanism, so as to hold the first and the second tape of the first closing mechanism joined together and in close together condition.
  • the end stop keeps the respective first longitudinal edges of the first and second tape in contact relationship.
  • the end stop for the slider prevents the slider from being able to be removed from the first zip track.
  • the position of the end stop is at the first portion of the first closing mechanism.
  • the connection members allow a controlled movement of the end stop in a direction substantially perpendicular to the edges of the two half-parts and therefore allow the luggage to actuate the maximum expansion.
  • the first operating distance corresponds to a minimum distance of the end stop from the perimeter edge and the second operating distance corresponds to a maximum distance of the end stop from the perimeter edge.
  • the minimum distance of the end stop from the perimeter edge coincides with the operating distance at which the first zip track in closed condition, in the second portion of the first closing mechanism, lies from the perimeter edge.
  • the minimum distance of the end stop is thus preferably such as to place the end stop substantially aligned with the first zip track when the latter is closed.
  • the first zip track extends entirely (end stop included) parallel to the edges of the two half-parts of the luggage and entirely at the same operating distance from the edges of the two half-parts of the luggage.
  • the maximum distance of the end stop from the perimeter edge is such as to misalign, in the direction parallel to the edges of the two half-parts, the end stop from the first zip track.
  • the luggage is in the condition of maximum expansion.
  • the first longitudinal edges of the first and second tape lie, at the second portion of the first closing mechanism, substantially parallel and apart from one another (open condition of the first closing mechanism).
  • the end stop is not aligned with the first longitudinal edges of the first and second tape at the second portion of the first closing mechanism.
  • connection members are configured to take up the first operating configuration when the first zip track is in closed condition.
  • the connection members are such as to take up the first operating configuration when the first zip track is in closed condition without the need for an external intervention to switch the connection members in such an operating configuration.
  • the connection members are such as to autonomously reach the first operating configuration when the first zip track is in closed condition.
  • connection members are elastically deformable.
  • connection members can be configured as many rigid or flexible parts slidably connected together to form a telescopic element.
  • connection members can be configured as many rigid or flexible parts hinged together to make an extensible element through book-style folding.
  • connection members can be configured as many rigid or flexible parts hinged together to form a windable element.
  • connection members are undeformed.
  • connection members elastically deform and recover the elastic deformation in the passage from the second operating configuration to the first operating configuration.
  • the connection members tend to take the first zip track, arranged at the first portion of the first closing mechanism, back to the first operating distance, in other words in the condition of minimum expansion of the luggage.
  • connection members comprise a first elastic fabric arranged between the first longitudinal edge of the first tape and the perimeter edge of the first half-part of the luggage.
  • connection members comprise a second elastic fabric arranged between the first longitudinal edge of the second tape and the perimeter edge of the second half-part of the luggage.
  • the first and the second elastic fabric elastically deform, expanding, when the luggage takes up the condition of maximum expansion.
  • the first and the second elastic fabric allow the first zip track, arranged at the first portion of the first closing mechanism, to move away from the edges of the two half-parts of the luggage and thus allow the maximum expansion of the inner volume of the luggage.
  • the first and the second elastic fabric are arranged at least at the end stop of the first zip track.
  • the first elastic fabric is connected to the first tape and to an area of the luggage arranged at the perimeter edge of the first half-part of the luggage.
  • the second elastic fabric is connected to the second tape and to an area of the luggage arranged at the perimeter edge of the second half-part of the luggage.
  • connection position of the elastic fabrics on the first and the second tape of the first closing mechanism is comprised between the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge.
  • the first and the second elastic fabric are connected a same distance from the longitudinal edge of the respective tape.
  • first and the second elastic fabric can be integral with the first and the second tape.
  • at least one portion of the first and of the second tape are made of elastic fabric.
  • the first and the second elastic fabric are connected to a respective area arranged at the free perimeter edge of the first and the second half-part of the luggage.
  • the first portion of the first closing mechanism on which the connection members are operative is an end portion of the first closing mechanism.
  • the first closing mechanism comprises a third portion, opposite to the first portion, which defines a second end portion for the first closing mechanism.
  • connection members are preferably of the same type as the connection members already mentioned above.
  • connection members are only provided at the first and, even more preferably, the second end of the first closing mechanism.
  • a further end stop is arranged at the second end portion of the first closing mechanism.
  • Such a further end stop is active on the first zip track on the opposite side with respect to the aforementioned end stop.
  • the further end stop also acts on the first longitudinal edges of the first and of the second tape of the first closing mechanism, so as to keep the first and the second tape of the first closing mechanism joined together and in close-together condition.
  • the further end stop keeps the respective first longitudinal edges of the first and of the second tape in contact relationship.
  • the further end stop acts on a further slider of the first zip track, so that the first zip track can be opened and closed by acting on only one of the two sliders or on both of the sliders.
  • the position and the features of the further end stop are identical to those described above in relation to the end stop, except for the fact that the further end stop, as stated, is arranged at the second end portion of the first closing mechanism.
  • the first closing mechanism and the second closing mechanism are associated with at least three consecutive sides of each perimeter edge.
  • the first closing mechanism is superimposed over the second closing mechanism. In this way, when the luggage is in the condition of minimum expansion, only the first closing mechanism is visible and able to be actuated.
  • an expandable luggage in accordance with the present invention is wholly indicated with 1.
  • the expandable luggage 1 is a rigid luggage, in other words of the type comprising a first half-part 2 and a second half-part 3 preferably made of plastic material capable of maintaining a predetermined shape or recovering such a predetermined shape following a deformation.
  • the first and the second half-part 2, 3 are called shells. Therefore, in the rest of the present description reference will be made without distinction to the first shell or to the first half-part 2 and to the second shell or to the second half-part 3.
