Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a suitcase including an auxiliary compartment which can adopt an unfolded position allowing different objects to be deposited, such as for example clothing, a bag, a rucksack, etc.; all this in order to ensure that these deposited objects do not fall or fall out of the wide interior location of the auxiliary compartment in its unfolded position when said objects are transported by means of the suitcase which is dragged by a user with support on the ground by means of main wheels which are normally included in the suitcase itself. Therefore, the auxiliary compartment allows to place and store in its interior different objects and travel accessories to facilitate waiting at stations and airports.
  • suitcases which comprise a main body and at least one outer compartment which allows the capacity of the suitcase to be increased in order to store more additional items in the suitcase as a whole, although in this case the outer compartment comprises a narrow inner space with a substantial limitation in the sense that it can only store thin items, so that access to said auxiliary compartment is through an opening which is released by means of a closing device, such as a zipper, for example.
  • Said inner space of the outer compartment is delimited between a part of the main body and a flat body associated to said main body by means of a hinged or non-hinged joint and by means of the zipper.
  • the opening of the outer compartment allows the flat body to be placed in a folded and unfolded position to facilitate a wider and more comfortable access to the inner space of the outer compartment
  • the outer compartment in its unfolded position allows the transport of the additional elements in the unfolded position of the outer compartment; and even less when the additional elements are of a large size.
  • the invention proposes a suitcase comprising a hollow body and a lid configured to close the hollow body.
  • the suitcase includes at least one collapsible auxiliary compartment comprising:
  • auxiliary compartment When the auxiliary compartment is in a fully deployed position, it creates a stable interior space for storing various items, such as a backpack, clothes, etc.
  • the auxiliary compartment comprises a hinged armature which is coupled to the front cover by means of a hinged connection located in an area opposite the hinged connection.
  • the auxiliary compartment described in the preceding paragraph further comprises an anchoring mechanism linked to the hinged armature; wherein said anchoring mechanism is configured to stabilize an unfolded position of the laminar structure assembly and the hinged armature itself.
  • the auxiliary compartment When the auxiliary compartment assembly is located in the fully deployed position, the front cover is located in a substantially horizontal position acting as a bottom or support base, while the hinged armature is located in a substantially vertical position parallel to the lid of the suitcase resting on the floor.
  • the auxiliary compartment includes supports which are attached to the front lid in areas opposite the hinged connection; wherein said supports are configured to provide a stable support on the floor to the front lid in a fully deployed position of the auxiliary compartment.
  • the supports include at their ends secondary wheels configured to rest on the floor in the fully unfolded position of the auxiliary compartment, so that by means of said secondary wheels and other main wheels of the suitcase which also rest on the floor, the movement of the suitcase as a whole is facilitated.
  • the suitcase of the invention further comprises a latching device configured to maintain a folded position of the auxiliary compartment; wherein said latching device links the front lid and the lid of the suitcase.
  • the latching device comprises a second zipper.
  • the auxiliary compartment in a fully deployed position generates a stable interior space bounded by the front cover, the laminar structure and at least a part of the cover.
  • the auxiliary compartment in a fully deployed position generates a stable interior space bounded by the front cover and by the laminar structure.
  • the laminar structure comprises a bag-shaped configuration.
  • the suitcase 1 comprises a hollow body 3 and a lid 4 linked to the hollow body 3 by means of a first zipper 5.
  • the suitcase 1 includes an auxiliary compartment 2, wherein a part of said auxiliary compartment 2 is coupled to the lid 4; and wherein said auxiliary compartment 2 is foldable.
  • the hollow body 3 comprises a bottom 3a and a side wall 3b of closed contour including a first perimeter edge delimiting an embouchure of the hollow body 3, while the lid 4 includes a second perimeter edge, so that the lid 4 is joined to the hollow body 3 by a centred hinged connection 6 linking a first section of the first perimeter edge of the hollow body 3 with a second section of the second perimeter edge of the lid 4.
  • the first zipper 5 comprises a first element and a second element which are attached to a part of the first perimeter edge of the hollow body 3 and to a part of the second perimeter edge of the lid 4.
  • the auxiliary compartment 2 comprises a front lid 8 and a foldable lamellar structure 9; wherein the front lid 8 is attached to the lid 4 of the suitcase 1 by means of a hinged connection 7; and wherein the lamellar structure 9 is attached to the front lid 8 and is also attached to the lid 4 itself, such that the lamellar structure 9 in an unfolded position of the auxiliary compartment 2, the front lid 8 constitutes a support base, while the lamellar structure 9 constitutes an enclosing side wall.
  • the auxiliary compartment 2 comprises the lamellar structure 9 and a hinged armature 10 which is coupled to the front lid 8 by means of a hinged connection 11 located in an area opposite to the hinged connection 7.
  • the lamellar structure 9 is also connected to the hinged armature 10.
  • the lamellar structure 9 may comprise a bag-shaped structure or also a structure formed by several lamellar bodies.
  • the auxiliary compartment 2 comprises an anchoring mechanism 12 to be able to lock the hinged armature 10 in a deployed position and to stabilize a deployed position of the lamellar structure 9 and in general of the deployed position of the whole of the auxiliary compartment 2.
  • the front lid 8 when the auxiliary compartment assembly 2 is located in the fully deployed position, the front lid 8 is located in a substantially horizontal position acting as a bottom or support base, while the hinged armature 10 is located in a substantially vertical position parallel to the lid 4 of the suitcase 1 which is supported on the ground by main wheels 13, as shown more clearly in figure 4 .
  • the front lid includes some supports 15 in the form of legs resting on the ground to stabilize said auxiliary compartment 2 in its fully unfolded position and in general to stabilize the suitcase 1 as a whole.
  • the supports 15 include at their ends secondary wheels 15a configured to rest on the ground when the auxiliary compartment 2 is located in the fully unfolded position, thus facilitating the displacement of the suitcase assembly which will rest on the main wheels 13 and on the secondary wheels 15a.
  • the various parts of the lamellar structure 9 adopt a wraparound sidewall-like configuration and are arranged in substantially vertical planes; wherein said parts of the lamellar structure 9 are attached to the front lid 8, to the lid 4 of the suitcase 1 above the lower hinge connection 7 and are also attached to the hinged armature 10.
  • a latching device such as a second zipper 16
  • said second zipper 16 comprises a first element attached to the front lid 8 and a second element attached to the lid of the suitcase 1.
  • the lamellar structure 9 and the hinged armature 10 are concealed in an enclosed interior space delimited between the front lid 8 and the lid 4 of the suitcase.
  • the front lid 8 when the auxiliary compartment 2 is located in a fully deployed position, the front lid 8 may be located in an inclined plane as shown in figure 3 .
