Description

La présente invention concerne un bagage comprenant deux coques et des moyens d'ouverture/fermeture destinés à positionner les deux coques rabattues l'une contre l'autre de manière à définir un volume intérieur en configuration fermée du bagage.The present invention relates to luggage comprising two shells and opening/closing means intended to position the two shells folded against each other so as to define an interior volume in the closed configuration of the luggage.

Elle porte plus précisément sur un bagage dans lequel l'une des deux coques, dite coque arrière, comporte au moins une poignée de transport. En général, la poignée de transport est disposée en partie supérieure de la coque arrière qui peut en outre comporter, en partie inférieure, un système à roulettes : par exemple un système présentant au moins deux roulettes montées aux extrémités latérales inférieures de la coque arrière. Ainsi, en utilisation normale du bagage lorsqu'il est fermé et transporté, l'autre coque, dite coque avant, est la plus visible. Par conséquent, il est habituel de constater que les faces extérieures des fonds de coques avant de tels bagages sont singularisées à l'aide de divers artifices plus ou moins élégants et escamotables, notamment des autocollants. La raison de ces singularisations n'est pas que décorative. Elle permet aussi au propriétaire d'un tel bagage de mieux le reconnaître, par exemple sur un tapis roulant de réception de bagages, ou de mieux se l'approprier.It relates more precisely to luggage in which one of the two shells, called the rear shell, has at least one carrying handle. In general, the carrying handle is arranged in the upper part of the rear shell which may also include, in the lower part, a system with wheels: for example a system having at least two wheels mounted at the lower lateral ends of the rear shell. Thus, in normal use of the luggage when it is closed and transported, the other shell, called the front shell, is the most visible. Consequently, it is usual to note that the exterior faces of the front hull bottoms of such luggage are distinguished using various more or less elegant and retractable devices, in particular stickers. The reason for these singularizations is not just decorative. It also allows the owner of such baggage to better recognize it, for example on a baggage reception conveyor belt, or to better appropriate it.

Mais de tels artifices ou décorations sont de nature à dégrader le bagage lui-même.But such artifices or decorations are likely to damage the luggage itself.

Le document JP S58 196620 U décrit un bagage suivant le préambule de la revendication 1.The document JP S58 196620 U describes baggage according to the preamble of claim 1.

Il peut ainsi être souhaité de prévoir un bagage qui permette de s'affranchir d'au moins une partie des problèmes et contraintes précités, notamment un bagage qui puisse être singularisé sans craindre d'être dégradé.It may therefore be desired to provide baggage which makes it possible to overcome at least part of the aforementioned problems and constraints, in particular baggage which can be singled out without fear of being damaged.

Il est donc proposé un bagage comprenant deux coques et des moyens d'ouverture/fermeture destinés à positionner les deux coques rabattues l'une contre l'autre de manière à définir un volume intérieur en configuration fermée du bagage, dans lequel :

  • l'une des deux coques, dite coque arrière, comporte au moins une poignée de transport, et
  • l'autre des deux coques, dite coque avant, comporte sur sa face extérieure une gorge s'étendant longitudinalement selon une direction principale du bagage et une unique bande réceptrice, disposée en fond de gorge et s'étendant sur toute la surface du fond de gorge,
couverte d'éléments de fixation amovible s'étendant librement dans la gorge sur toute sa longueur.Luggage is therefore proposed comprising two shells and opening/closing means intended to position the two shells folded against each other so as to define an interior volume in the closed configuration of the luggage, in which:
  • one of the two shells, called the rear shell, has at least one carrying handle, and
  • the other of the two shells, called the front shell, has on its exterior face a groove extending longitudinally in a main direction of the luggage and a single receiving strip, arranged at the bottom of the groove and extending over the entire surface of the bottom of the luggage. throat,
covered with removable fasteners extending freely into the groove over its entire length.

Ainsi, la gorge et l'unique bande réceptrice coopèrent pour recevoir et protéger tous les éléments souhaités aptes à singulariser le bagage sans le détériorer. Leur disposition longitudinale selon une direction principale du bagage en face extérieure de la coque avant permet d'améliorer la visibilité du ou des éléments décoratif(s) ou distinctif(s) que l'on souhaite fixer. Compte tenu des propriétés de fixation amovible de l'unique bande réceptrice, tout élément décoratif ou distinctif à éléments de fixation amovible correspondants ne risque pas de détériorer le bagage et est en outre aisément remplaçable sans laisser de trace.Thus, the groove and the single receiving strip cooperate to receive and protect all the desired elements capable of singling out the luggage without damaging it. Their longitudinal arrangement in a main direction of the luggage on the exterior face of the front shell makes it possible to improve the visibility of the decorative or distinctive element(s) that one wishes to attach. Given the removable fixing properties of the single receiving strip, any decorative or distinctive element with corresponding removable fixing elements does not risk damaging the luggage and is also easily replaceable without leaving a trace.

De façon optionnelle, ladite unique bande réceptrice est elle-même fixée en fond de gorge par collage.Optionally, said single receiving strip is itself fixed at the bottom of the groove by gluing.

De façon optionnelle également, un bagage selon l'invention peut en outre comporter au moins une bande d'identification rapportée ou destinée à être rapportée en fond de gorge contre ladite unique bande réceptrice, cette bande d'identification présentant une face de fixation couverte d'éléments de fixation amovible complémentaires des éléments de fixation amovible de ladite unique bande réceptrice et une face opposée de présentation destinée à être visible.Also optionally, luggage according to the invention may further comprise at least one identification strip attached or intended to be attached at the bottom of the groove against said single receiving strip, this identification strip having a fixing face covered with removable fixing elements complementary to the removable fixing elements of said single receiving strip and an opposite presentation face intended to be visible.

De façon optionnelle également, les éléments de fixation amovible de l'unique bande réceptrice et de la bande d'identification sont des éléments de fixation mécanique à crochets et boucles textiles.Also optionally, the removable fastening elements of the single receiver strip and the identification strip are mechanical fastening elements with textile hooks and loops.

De façon optionnelle également, la profondeur de la gorge est dimensionnée de manière à rester supérieure ou égale à l'épaisseur combinée de ladite unique bande réceptrice et de l'une quelconque de ladite au moins une bande d'identification lorsque ces bandes sont fixées l'une à l'autre par leurs éléments de fixation amovible complémentaires.Also optionally, the depth of the groove is dimensioned so as to remain greater than or equal to the combined thickness of said single receiving strip and of any of said at least one identification strip when these strips are fixed 'to each other by their complementary removable fixing elements.

De façon optionnelle également :

  • la coque avant présente un fond de coque, deux flancs latéraux, un flanc supérieur et un flanc inférieur,
  • la gorge et ladite au moins une bande réceptrice s'étendent continûment :
    • longitudinalement dans la face extérieure du fond de coque parallèlement aux flancs latéraux, et dans les flancs supérieur et inférieur jusqu'en périphérie porteuse des moyens d'ouverture/fermeture, ou
    • latéralement dans la face extérieure du fond de coque parallèlement aux flancs inférieur et supérieur, et dans les flancs latéraux jusqu'en périphérie porteuse des moyens d'ouverture/fermeture.
Also optionally:
  • the front hull has a hull bottom, two side sides, an upper side and a lower side,
  • the groove and said at least one receiving strip extend continuously:
    • longitudinally in the exterior face of the hull bottom parallel to the lateral sides, and in the upper and lower sides up to the supporting periphery of the means opening/closing, or
    • laterally in the exterior face of the bottom of the hull parallel to the lower and upper sides, and in the side sides up to the supporting periphery of the opening/closing means.

De façon optionnelle également, chaque coque est rigide ou déformable à mémoire de forme.Also optionally, each shell is rigid or deformable with shape memory.

De façon optionnelle également, la coque arrière comporte un système à roulettes en partie inférieure destinée à être posée au sol.Also optionally, the rear shell has a roller system in the lower part intended to be placed on the ground.

De façon optionnelle également, la coque avant comporte également un système à roulettes en partie inférieure destinée à être posée au sol.Also optionally, the front shell also includes a roller system in the lower part intended to be placed on the ground.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente schématiquement en perspective l'aspect extérieur d'un bagage à deux coques en configuration ouverte, selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention,
  • la figure 2 représente schématiquement en perspective avant le bagage de la figure 1 en configuration fermée,
  • la figure 3 est une vue partielle en perspective du dessus du bagage fermé de la figure 2,
  • les figures 4 et 5 sont des vues partielles en perspective avant du bagage fermé de la figure 2, lors de deux étapes de fixation d'une bande d'identification, et
  • la figure 6 est une vue en perspective avant du bagage fermé de la figure 2 après installation de la bande d'identification des figures 5 et 6.
The invention will be better understood with the help of the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • there figure 1 schematically represents in perspective the external appearance of luggage with two shells in open configuration, according to one embodiment of the invention,
  • there figure 2 schematically represented in perspective before the luggage of the figure 1 in closed configuration,
  • there Figure 3 is a partial perspective view from above of the closed luggage of the figure 2 ,
  • THE figures 4 and 5 are partial front perspective views of the closed luggage of the figure 2 , during two stages of fixing an identification strip, and
  • there Figure 6 is a front perspective view of the closed luggage of the figure 2 after installation of the identification strip of figures 5 and 6 .

Le bagage 10 illustré sur la figure 1 est une valise à deux coques 12 et 14 destinées à être rabattues l'une contre l'autre à l'aide de moyens d'ouverture/fermeture 16, 18 de manière à définir un volume intérieur essentiellement parallélépipédique rectangle en configuration fermée de la valise 10. Cette dernière est toutefois illustrée en configuration ouverte sur la figure 1 pour des raisons de clarté. Chaque coque 12 ou 14 est elle-même de forme générale parallélépipédique rectangle ouverte, légèrement arrondie aux angles et représente environ la moitié du volume intérieur de la valise 10. Elle peut être rigide, par exemple en polycarbonate, ou déformable à mémoire de forme.Baggage 10 shown on the figure 1 is a suitcase with two shells 12 and 14 intended to be folded against each other using opening/closing means 16, 18 so as to define an essentially rectangular parallelepiped interior volume in the closed configuration of the suitcase 10. The latter is however illustrated in an open configuration on the figure 1 for reasons of clarity. Each shell 12 or 14 is itself of a general open rectangular parallelepiped shape, slightly rounded at the corners and represents approximately half of the interior volume of the suitcase 10. It can be rigid, for example in polycarbonate, or deformable with shape memory.

Les moyens d'ouverture/fermeture 16, 18 sont classiques et par exemple formés d'un bandeau de tissu à fermeture éclair 16 fixé le long d'un premier côté à la périphérie rectangulaire arrondie ouverte de l'une 12 des coques et le long d'un deuxième côté à la périphérie rectangulaire arrondie ouverte de l'autre des coques. La fermeture éclair 16 peut s'étendre sur les trois quarts de la périphérie des coques 12 et 14 permettant ainsi leur pivotement autour d'une charnière formée par une portion 18 du bandeau le long de laquelle cette fermeture éclair 16 est absente, par exemple sur un grand côté de la valise 10.The opening/closing means 16, 18 are conventional and for example formed of a fabric strip with zipper 16 fixed along a first side to the open rounded rectangular periphery of one 12 of the shells and along on a second side to the open rounded rectangular periphery of the other of the shells. The zipper 16 can extend over three-quarters of the periphery of the shells 12 and 14, thus allowing them to pivot around a hinge formed by a portion 18 of the strip along which this zipper 16 is absent, for example on a large side of the suitcase 10.

La coque 12, dite coque arrière, présente un fond de coque 12A, deux flancs latéraux 12B et 12C, un flanc supérieur 12D et un flanc inférieur 12E. Elle comporte un système à roulettes 20, 22 en partie inférieure, notamment une double roulette 20 sous la partie inférieure gauche du fond de coque 12A (lorsque l'on regarde ce fond de coque 12A depuis l'extérieur de la coque arrière 12), fixée en rotation libre dans un dispositif complet de roulement sous le flanc inférieur 12E, et une double roulette 22 sous la partie inférieure droite du fond de coque 12A (lorsque l'on regarde ce fond de coque 12A depuis l'extérieur de la coque arrière 12), également fixée en rotation libre dans un dispositif complet de roulement sous le flanc inférieur 12E. Elle comporte en outre au moins une poignée de transport fixée en partie supérieure. Dans l'exemple illustré, elle comporte une poignée de portage 24 sur son flanc supérieur 12D, prévue pour transporter la valise 10 en la soulevant, et une poignée télescopique de traction 26, prévue pour transporter la valise 10 en la tirant et en la déplaçant par roulement au sol. La poignée télescopique de traction 26 est montée sur deux tiges 28 coulissant verticalement (dans le repère de la figure 1) dans des logements, non visibles, aménagés en paroi intérieure du fond de coque 12A.The shell 12, called the rear shell, has a shell bottom 12A, two side sides 12B and 12C, an upper side 12D and a lower side 12E. It comprises a roller system 20, 22 in the lower part, in particular a double roller 20 under the lower left part of the bottom of the hull 12A (when we look at this bottom of the hull 12A from the outside of the rear hull 12), fixed in free rotation in a complete rolling device under the lower side 12E, and a double caster 22 under the lower right part of the bottom of the hull 12A (when we look at this bottom of the hull 12A from the outside of the rear hull 12), also fixed in free rotation in a complete rolling device under the lower side 12E. It also includes at least one carrying handle fixed in the upper part. In the example illustrated, it comprises a carrying handle 24 on its upper side 12D, intended to transport the suitcase 10 by lifting it, and a telescopic traction handle 26, intended to transport the suitcase 10 by pulling it and moving it by rolling on the ground. The telescopic traction handle 26 is mounted on two rods 28 sliding vertically (in the reference of the figure 1 ) in housings, not visible, fitted in the interior wall of the bottom of the hull 12A.

La coque 14, dite coque avant, présente un fond de coque 14A, deux flancs latéraux 14B et 14C, un flanc supérieur 14D et un flanc inférieur 14E. Elle comporte, elle aussi, un système à roulettes 30, 32 en partie inférieure, notamment une double roulette 30 sous la partie inférieure gauche du fond de coque 14A (lorsque l'on regarde ce fond de coque 14A depuis l'extérieur de la coque avant 14), fixée en rotation libre dans un dispositif complet de roulement sous le flanc inférieur 14E, et une double roulette 32 sous la partie inférieure droite du fond de coque 14A (lorsque l'on regarde ce fond de coque 14A depuis l'extérieur de la coque avant 14), également fixée en rotation libre dans un dispositif complet de roulement sous le flanc inférieur 14E.The shell 14, called the front shell, has a shell bottom 14A, two side sides 14B and 14C, an upper side 14D and a lower side 14E. It also includes a roller system 30, 32 in the lower part, in particular a double roller 30 under the lower left part of the bottom of the hull 14A (when we look at this bottom of the hull 14A from the outside of the hull front 14), fixed in free rotation in a complete rolling device under the lower side 14E, and a double caster 32 under the lower right part of the bottom of the hull 14A (when we look at this bottom of the hull 14A from the outside of the front hull 14), also fixed in free rotation in a complete rolling device under the lower side 14E.

Conformément à l'invention, la coque avant 14 comporte sur sa face extérieure, plus précisément formée par moulage en creux sur la face extérieure de son fond de coque 14A, une gorge 34 à fond plat s'étendant longitudinalement de sa partie supérieure à sa partie inférieure. Selon un mode de réalisation optionnel mais avantageux, la gorge 34 s'étend continûment longitudinalement dans la face extérieure du fond de coque 14A parallèlement aux flancs latéraux 14B et 14C, ainsi que dans le flanc supérieur 14D et dans le flanc inférieur 14E jusqu'à leur périphérie porteuse du bandeau de tissu à fermeture éclair 16.In accordance with the invention, the front shell 14 comprises on its exterior face, more precisely formed by hollow molding on the exterior face of its bottom of the hull 14A, a groove 34 with a flat bottom extending longitudinally from its upper part to its lower part. According to an optional but advantageous embodiment, the groove 34 extends continuously longitudinally in the exterior face of the bottom of the shell 14A parallel to the lateral flanks 14B and 14C, as well as in the upper flank 14D and in the lower flank 14E up to their periphery carrying the zippered fabric strip 16.

Conformément à l'invention également, la coque avant 14 comporte sur sa face extérieure, disposée en fond de gorge 34, une unique bande réceptrice 36 dont une face est fixée contre le fond de gorge. Cette unique bande réceptrice 36 s'étend dans la gorge 34 sur toute sa longueur, notamment longitudinalement dans la face extérieure du fond de coque 14A parallèlement aux flancs latéraux 14B et 14C, ainsi que dans le flanc supérieur 14D et dans le flanc inférieur 14E jusqu'à leur périphérie. Sa fixation en fond de gorge 34 est par exemple réalisée par collage, notamment à l'aide d'un revêtement autocollant puissant. L'autre face, libre sur la figure 1, de l'unique bande réceptrice 36 est couverte d'éléments de fixation amovible, par exemple des éléments mâles ou femelles de fixation mécanique amovible tels que des crochets ou boucles textiles. Ces éléments de fixation amovible s'étendent eux aussi sur toute la longueur de la gorge 34. En variante ne faisant pas partie de l'invention, la bande réceptrice 36 pourrait être subdivisée en plusieurs bandes réceptrices indépendamment collées en fond de gorge 34 sur toute sa longueur, toutes recouvertes d'éléments de fixation amovible s'étendant eux aussi sur toute la longueur de la gorge 34.Also in accordance with the invention, the front shell 14 comprises on its exterior face, arranged at the bottom of the groove 34, a single receiving strip 36, one face of which is fixed against the bottom of the groove. This single receiving strip 36 extends in the groove 34 over its entire length, in particular longitudinally in the exterior face of the bottom of the hull 14A parallel to the lateral flanks 14B and 14C, as well as in the upper flank 14D and in the lower flank 14E up to 'on their periphery. Its fixing at the bottom of the groove 34 is for example carried out by gluing, in particular using a powerful self-adhesive coating. The other side, free on the figure 1 , of the single receiving strip 36 is covered with removable fixing elements, for example male or female removable mechanical fixing elements such as textile hooks or loops. These removable fixing elements also extend over the entire length of the groove 34. As a variant not forming part of the invention, the receiving strip 36 could be subdivided into several receiving strips independently glued to the bottom of the groove 34 over the entire length of the groove 34. its length, all covered with removable fixing elements also extending over the entire length of the groove 34.

Deux bandes d'identification 38 et 40 sont en outre illustrées sur la figure 1. Chacune d'elles est destinée à être rapportée en fond de gorge 34 contre la face libre de l'unique bande réceptrice 36 pour y être fixée de façon amovible, comme indiqué par les deux flèches de la figure 1. A cet effet, chaque bande d'identification 38 ou 40 présente une face intérieure 38A ou 40A de fixation, couverte d'éléments de fixation amovible complémentaires de ceux de l'unique bande réceptrice 36, par exemple des éléments femelles ou mâles de fixation mécanique amovible tels que des boucles textiles ou crochets. Chaque bande d'identification 38 ou 40 présente en outre une face opposée extérieure 38B ou 40B de présentation destinée à être visible et personnalisable par son motif. Ainsi, la face de présentation 38B de la bande d'identification 38 se distingue par son motif à cercles, tandis que la face de présentation 40B de la bande d'identification 40 se distingue par son motif à rayures. Bien évidemment, les motifs sont personnalisables à volonté. De même, les matériaux, tissus ou autres, pouvant être employés pour constituer la ou les bandes d'identification sont multiples. Ils sont de préférence souples pour que les bandes d'identification puissent épouser la forme générale du fond de gorge 34. Chaque bande d'identification 38 ou 40 peut en outre être constituée de deux bandes rapportées l'une contre l'autre par collage ou couture, l'une pour former la face de fixation, l'autre pour former la face de présentation.Two identification bands 38 and 40 are further illustrated on the figure 1 . Each of them is intended to be attached at the bottom of the groove 34 against the free face of the single receiving strip 36 to be fixed there removably, as indicated by the two arrows of the figure 1 . For this purpose, each identification strip 38 or 40 has an interior fixing face 38A or 40A, covered with removable fixing elements complementary to those of the single receiving strip 36, for example female or male mechanical fixing elements removable such as textile loops or hooks. Each identification strip 38 or 40 also has an opposite exterior presentation face 38B or 40B intended to be visible and customizable by its pattern. Thus, the presentation face 38B of the strip identification strip 38 is distinguished by its circle pattern, while the presentation face 40B of the identification strip 40 is distinguished by its striped pattern. Of course, the patterns can be personalized as desired. Likewise, the materials, fabrics or others, which can be used to constitute the identification strip(s) are multiple. They are preferably flexible so that the identification strips can adapt to the general shape of the bottom of the groove 34. Each identification strip 38 or 40 can also be made up of two strips attached one against the other by gluing or seam, one to form the fixing face, the other to form the presentation face.

Avantageusement, la profondeur de la gorge 34 est dimensionnée de manière à rester supérieure à l'épaisseur de l'unique bande réceptrice 36, y compris les éléments de fixation amovible dont elle est couverte. Ainsi, elle remplit une fonction de protection assurant la pérennité de l'unique bande réceptrice 36 en tant que surface de fixation amovible pour bandes d'identification.Advantageously, the depth of the groove 34 is dimensioned so as to remain greater than the thickness of the single receiving strip 36, including the removable fixing elements with which it is covered. Thus, it fulfills a protective function ensuring the durability of the single receiving strip 36 as a removable fixing surface for identification strips.

De façon optionnelle, la profondeur de la gorge 34 peut même être dimensionnée de manière à rester supérieure ou égale à l'épaisseur combinée de l'unique bande réceptrice 36 et de l'une quelconque des bandes d'identification 38, 40 lorsque ces deux bandes 36 et 38 ou 36 et 40 sont fixées l'une à l'autre par leurs éléments de fixation amovible complémentaires. Ainsi, elle remplit une fonction de protection, non seulement de l'unique bande réceptrice 36, mais également de chaque bande d'identification pouvant être fixée contre elle.Optionally, the depth of the groove 34 can even be dimensioned so as to remain greater than or equal to the combined thickness of the single receiving strip 36 and any one of the identification strips 38, 40 when these two strips 36 and 38 or 36 and 40 are fixed to each other by their complementary removable fixing elements. Thus, it fulfills a protective function, not only of the single receiving strip 36, but also of each identification strip that can be fixed against it.

La figure 2 représente schématiquement en perspective avant la valise 10 en configuration fermée. Selon cette vue, la face extérieure du fond de coque 14A de la coque avant 14 est bien visible, ce qui est généralement le cas en utilisation normale de la valise 10. En particulier, la gorge 34 et l'unique bande réceptrice 36 sont visibles sur l'essentiel de leur longueur qui exploite la plus grande dimension de la valise 10. Elles sont en outre décalées latéralement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal principal du fond de coque 14A, de manière à se situer selon un choix arbitraire au voisinage du flanc latéral droit 14C.There figure 2 schematically represents in perspective before the suitcase 10 in closed configuration. According to this view, the exterior face of the bottom of the shell 14A of the front shell 14 is clearly visible, which is generally the case in normal use of the suitcase 10. In particular, the groove 34 and the single receiving strip 36 are visible over most of their length which exploits the largest dimension of the suitcase 10. They are also offset laterally relative to the main longitudinal axis of the bottom of the hull 14A, so as to be located according to an arbitrary choice in the vicinity of the right lateral flank 14C.

La figure 3 est une vue partielle en perspective du dessus de la valise 10. On y voit que la gorge 34 et l'unique bande réceptrice 36 s'étendent également dans le flanc supérieur 14D de la coque avant 14 jusqu'en périphérie, c'est-à-dire jusqu'au voisinage du bandeau à fermeture éclair 16. Par symétrie, il peut en être de même sous la valise 10, c'est-à-dire dans le flanc inférieur 14E de la coque avant 14.There Figure 3 is a partial perspective view from above of the suitcase 10. It can be seen that the groove 34 and the single receiving strip 36 also extend in the upper side 14D of the front shell 14 to the periphery, i.e. that is to say up to the vicinity of the zippered headband 16. By symmetry, the same can be true under the suitcase 10, that is to say in the lower side 14E of the front hull 14.

Un exemple non limitatif de mode opératoire pour la fixation amovible de l'une des bandes d'identification 38 et 40 contre l'unique bande réceptrice 36 va maintenant être détaillé en référence aux figures 4 à 6.A non-limiting example of an operating mode for the removable fixation of one of the identification strips 38 and 40 against the single receiving strip 36 will now be detailed with reference to the figures 4 to 6 .

Comme illustré sur la figure 4, une première extrémité 42 de la bande d'identification 38 ou 40 est rapportée contre la face libre de l'unique bande réceptrice 36. La fixation opère par coopération des éléments mâles et femelles de fixation mécanique amovible. Avantageusement, la bande d'identification 38 ou 40 est précisément disposée pour que sa première extrémité 42 entre bien dans les limites latérales de la gorge 34 telle que formée dans le flanc supérieur 14D.As illustrated on the Figure 4 , a first end 42 of the identification strip 38 or 40 is attached against the free face of the single receiving strip 36. Fixing operates by cooperation of the male and female removable mechanical fixing elements. Advantageously, the identification strip 38 or 40 is precisely arranged so that its first end 42 enters well into the lateral limits of the groove 34 as formed in the upper side 14D.

Comme illustré sur la figure 5, la fixation amovible de la bande d'identification 38 ou 40 se poursuit dans le fond de coque 14A, en la plaquant progressivement du haut vers le bas contre la face libre de l'unique bande réceptrice 36. Avantageusement également, la bande d'identification 38 ou 40 est précisément disposée pour qu'elle entre bien dans les limites latérales de la gorge 34 telle que formée dans le fond de coque 14A.As illustrated on the figure 5 , the removable fixing of the identification strip 38 or 40 continues in the bottom of the shell 14A, placing it progressively from top to bottom against the free face of the single receiving strip 36. Also advantageously, the strip of identification 38 or 40 is precisely arranged so that it enters well within the lateral limits of the groove 34 as formed in the bottom of the hull 14A.

La fixation amovible de la bande d'identification 38 ou 40 se poursuit jusque sous la valise 10 dans le flanc inférieur 14E (non visible). Si les étapes de fixation telles qu'illustrées par les figures 4 et 5 ont été correctement et précisément réalisées, le positionnement correct de la deuxième extrémité de la bande d'identification 38 ou 40 dans les limites latérales de la gorge 34 telle que formée dans le flanc inférieur 14E se fait naturellement et simplement sans précaution particulière. Il en résulte la valise 10 avec bande d'identification telle qu'illustrée en perspective avant sur la figure 6.The removable fixing of the identification strip 38 or 40 continues up to under the suitcase 10 in the lower side 14E (not visible). If the fixing steps as illustrated in the figures 4 and 5 have been correctly and precisely carried out, the correct positioning of the second end of the identification strip 38 or 40 in the lateral limits of the groove 34 as formed in the lower side 14E is done naturally and simply without any particular precautions. This results in the suitcase 10 with identification strip as illustrated in front perspective on the Figure 6 .

Il apparaît clairement qu'un bagage tel que celui décrit précédemment est personnalisable à volonté sans risque de détérioration. Une même valise peut être associée à plusieurs bandes d'identification différentes interchangeables, chacune d'entre elles pouvant être sélectionnée parmi un large choix ou même conçue de manière unique.It clearly appears that luggage such as that described above can be personalized as desired without risk of damage. A single suitcase can be associated with several different interchangeable identification strips, each of which can be selected from a wide choice or even uniquely designed.

On notera par ailleurs que l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit précédemment, mais est définie par les revendications.It should also be noted that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but is defined by the claims.

Ainsi, les éléments de fixation amovible présentés précédemment comme des éléments de fixation mécanique à crochets et boucles textiles pourraient en variante être par exemple des éléments mâles et femelles à boutons-pression.Thus, the removable fastening elements presented previously as mechanical fastening elements with textile hooks and loops could alternatively be for example male and female elements with snaps.

En variante également, la gorge 34 et l'unique bande réceptrice 36 pourraient s'étendre latéralement dans la face extérieure du fond de coque 14A, parallèlement aux flancs inférieur 14E et supérieur 14D, et dans les flancs latéraux 14B, 14C jusqu'en périphérie porteuse des moyens d'ouverture/fermeture 16, 18.Also alternatively, the groove 34 and the single receiving strip 36 could extend laterally in the exterior face of the bottom of the hull 14A, parallel on the lower flanks 14E and upper 14D, and in the lateral flanks 14B, 14C up to the supporting periphery of the opening/closing means 16, 18.

La valise 10 pourraient également en variante être remplacée par tout autre bagage comportant d'une façon générale deux coques et des moyens d'ouverture/fermeture destinés à positionner les deux coques rabattues l'une contre l'autre de manière à définir un volume intérieur en configuration fermée du bagage, dans lequel l'une des deux coques, dite coque arrière, comporte au moins une poignée de transport en partie supérieure.The suitcase 10 could also alternatively be replaced by any other luggage generally comprising two shells and opening/closing means intended to position the two shells folded against each other so as to define an interior volume in the closed configuration of the luggage, in which one of the two shells, called the rear shell, has at least one carrying handle in the upper part.
