Definitions
- the invention relates to a baggage-type leather article comprising at least two at least partially rigid half-shells and at least one zipper configured to connect the two half-shells in a closed configuration of the baggage.
- This could be, for example, a suitcase, or a trunk, or any other similar item.
- STATE OF THE ART Luggage comprising two at least partially rigid half-shells and a zipper configured to connect the two half-shells in a closed configuration of the luggage.
- the zipper is often arranged around the perimeter of the luggage, at the junction between the two half-shells when it is in its closed configuration.
- the luggage has a connecting strip permanently connecting the two half-shells and the zipper extends on either side of this connecting strip and along the periphery of the luggage.
- the invention aims to provide a luggage-type leather article of a similar kind and having an improved opening mechanism making its use particularly simple and convenient.
- the subject of the invention is thus a baggage-type leather article, comprising two at least partially rigid half-shells, a connecting strip provided on a first side of the baggage and permanently connecting the two half-shells, and a closure zipper which extends on either side of the connecting strip, along the periphery of the luggage, and which is configured to connect the two half-shells in a closed configuration of the luggage, with the periphery of the luggage which is formed from the first side, from a second side which extends from the first side, from a third side opposite to the second side and which extends from the first side, and from a fourth side opposite to the first side and which joins the second and third sides, and with the second and third sides which are separated from the first side by respective first corner areas having a substantially rounded shape; characterized in that the zipper extends on each of the second and third sides generally rectilinear and in a first horizontal plane to the respective first corner areas, where the zipper is curved up to the first side, where it then extends to the connecting strip in a
- the arrangement of the zipper on the second and third sides in a first plane which is offset from the first side where the connecting strip is located, and therefore the hinge making it possible to articulate the two half-shells makes it possible to facilitate the passage of the baggage from its closed configuration where the two half-shells are connected to each other by the zipper, to an open configuration where the two half-shells are spaced apart from each other; and this even if the user who wishes to open his luggage does not activate the zipper as far as the connecting strip.
- the curvature of the zipper at the level of the first corner zones can help the latter to continue its translation on the first side in the direction of the zipper.
- connecting strip forming a hinge without necessarily going as far as the latter.
- the rigidity of the two half-shells further facilitates the transition from the closed configuration to the open configuration in that the user does not have to particularly force the opening movement.
- the two half-shells can be formed so as to define respectively approximately one third of the volume of the article and approximately two thirds of the volume of the article.
- the first horizontal plane can be defined at approximately two-thirds of the thickness of the second and third sides.
- the second horizontal plane may be defined substantially in the middle or one-third of the thickness of the second and third sides, and the connecting strip is provided substantially in the middle or one-third of the thickness of the first side.
- the distance separating the first horizontal plane and the second horizontal plane can be between about 10 mm and about 50 mm.
- the distance may be between approximately 20 mm and approximately 30 mm; rather between about 30 mm and about 50 mm, one for baggage having dimensions called the hold type; or even less than 20 mm for a smaller piece of baggage for the cabin baggage.
- the second and third sides are separated from the fourth side by respective second corner areas having a substantially rounded shape, and the zipper may extend on each of the second and third sides generally straight and in the first horizontal plane up to 'to the respective second corner areas, where the zipper extends in the same first horizontal plane to the fourth side where it further extends in this first horizontal plane.
- the item may have a handle secured to its fourth side, substantially in the middle of the thickness of the latter.
- the arrangement of the handle can be in the middle or a little offset from the middle of the thickness of the luggage and more generally, the handle can be arranged according to the center of gravity of the luggage, so as to allow easy opening and good luggage hold in the 180 ° open configuration.
- the zipper may include two slide portions secured respectively to the two half-shells and at least one zipper cooperating with the two slide portions.
- the zipper may have two pull tabs, each being designed to be moved in the direction of the connecting strip, respectively via the second side and the third side.
- the item can be a suitcase or a trunk.
- the two half-shells can be covered with an ornamental covering, for example in leather.
- FIG. 1 schematically represents an article of leather goods of the luggage type, in particular a suitcase in the closed configuration, in a front view where a fourth side of the suitcase is visible.
- Figure 2 is similar to that of Figure 1, seen from behind where a first side of the case is visible.
- Figure 3 is similar to that of Figures 1 and 2, in side view where a third side of the case is visible.
- Figure 4 is similar to that of Figures 1 to 3, in three quarter view where the first side and the third side of the case is visible.
- Figure 5 is similar to that of Figure 4, except that the case is in the open configuration.
- FIGS. 1 illustrate an article of leather goods, of the luggage type, and in particular here a suitcase 1 with wheels 2, shown in the closed configuration and from different viewing angles.
- the case 1 has a generally parallelepipedal shape, having six sides, including a front wall 3 also called the fourth side, a rear wall 4 also called the first side, side walls 5 and 6 also called respectively second and third sides, a bottom wall 7 also called the fifth side and a top wall 8 also called the sixth side.
- the side wall 5 and the side wall 6 are opposed and each extend at one end from the rear wall 4 and at an opposite end. from the front wall 3, which is opposite to the rear wall 4.
- the bottom and top walls 7 and 8 are opposite and are each connected to the front 3, rear 4 and side walls 5 and 6.
- the case 1 is formed of a substantially rigid envelope having two half-shells called lower half-shell 9 and upper half-shell 10.
- the lower and upper half-shells 9 and 10 define an internal space in the closed configuration of the case 1.
- the lower and upper half-shells 9 and 10 can be covered with an ornamental covering, for example in leather.
- the wheels 2 of the case 1 protrude from its side wall 6.
- the case 1 is provided at the corners of the lower and upper half-shells 9 and 10 with reinforcing members 15.
- the case 1 has a handle 16 secured to its front wall 3, substantially in the middle of the thickness of the case 1, which is represented by the M axis in Figure 1.
- case 1 generally has a height defined substantially by the distance separating the side walls 5 and 6; a width defined substantially by the distance separating the front and rear walls 3 and 4; and a thickness defined substantially by the distance separating the bottom and top walls 7 and 8.
- the case 1 has a connecting strip 11 provided on its rear wall 4.
- the connecting strip 11 forms a permanent junction between the lower and upper half-shells 9 and 10.
- the connecting strip 11 furthermore a hinge for the passage of the case 1 from its closed configuration to an open configuration in which the lower and upper half-shells 9 and 10 are spaced apart from each other (FIG. 5).
- the suitcase 1 is provided with a zipper 12 which extends on either side of the connecting strip 11, along the periphery of the baggage.
- the periphery of the case 1 is formed of the front wall 3 or fourth side, of the rear wall 4 or first side, and of the side walls 5 and 6 or second and third sides.
- the rear wall 4 is separated from the side walls 5 and 6 by respective first corner zones 13 having a substantially rounded shape; while the front wall 3 is separated from the side walls 5 and 6 by respective second corner areas 14 also having a substantially rounded shape.
- the zipper 12 is configured to connect the lower and upper half-shells 9 and 10 in the closed configuration of the case 1.
- the zipper 12 comprises two slide portions 17 and 18 secured respectively to the lower and upper half-shell 9 and 10.
- the zipper here has two zippers 19 cooperating with the two zipper portions 17 and 18.
- Each of the zippers 19 is designed to be moved in the direction of the connecting strip 11, via the front wall 3 then the respective side walls 5 and 6.
- the zipper 12 extends on the front wall 3 and on each of the side walls 5 and 6 in a generally rectilinear manner and in a first horizontal plane P1 up to the respective first corner zones 13.
- the zipper 12 At the entrance of the respective first corner zones 13, the zipper 12 is curved up to the rear wall 4. At the exit of the respective first corner zones 13 and at the level of the rear wall 4, the zipper 12 then extends as far as the connecting strip 12 in a generally rectilinear manner and in a second horizontal plane P2 distinct from the first horizontal plane P1.
- the zipper 12 is curved downwards, i.e. in the direction of the bottom wall 7 of the case 1.
- the first and second horizontal plane P1 and P2 are therefore offset, with the second horizontal plane P2 which is located more towards the bottom wall 7 than the first horizontal plane P1.
- the first horizontal plane P1 is defined substantially at two-thirds of the thickness of the case 1 and in particular of the side walls 4 and 5 and of the front wall 3; while the second horizontal plane P2 is defined substantially in the middle of the thickness of the case 1 and in particular of the rear wall 4.
- the connecting strip 11 is for its part formed in the continuity of the zipper 12 on the rear wall 4 and is thus within the thickness of the case 1.
- the lower and upper half-shells 9 and 10 are formed so as to define respectively about one third of the volume of the case 1 and about two thirds of the volume of the case 1.
- the distance between the first horizontal plane P1 and the second horizontal plane P2 is here about 20 mm.
- the distance separating the first horizontal plane and the second horizontal plane can be between approximately 10 mm and approximately 50 mm.
- the distance may be between approximately 20 mm and approximately 30 mm; rather between about 30 mm and about 50 mm, one for baggage having dimensions called the hold type; or even less than 20 mm for a smaller piece of baggage for the cabin baggage.
- the second horizontal plane can alternatively be defined at approximately one third of the thickness of the case rather than the middle, and the connecting strip can also be provided approximately one third of the thickness of the rear wall.
- the offset arrangement of the zipper 12 on the front walls 3 and side walls 5 and 6 (in the foreground P1) and on the rear wall 4 (second plane P2) where the connecting strip 11 is located, and therefore the hinge making it possible to articulate the lower and upper half-shells 9 and 10, makes it possible to facilitate the passage of the case from its closed configuration where the half-shells lower and upper 9 and 10 are connected to each other by the zipper 12, towards its open configuration where the lower and upper half-shells 9 and 10 are spaced apart from each other; and this even if the user who wishes to open his suitcase 1 does not activate the zippers 19 of the zipper 12 to the end, that is to say up to the connecting strip 11.
- the rigidity of the lower and upper half-shells 9 and 10 further facilitates the transition from the closed configuration to the open configuration in that the user does not have to particularly force the opening movement.
- the article of leather goods is not a suitcase but a trunk, or any other similar article.
