Description

The present invention is a safety device adaptable to

  different types of luggage to protect in a compartment provided for this purpose important or valuable items that people carry with them when traveling.

  This device is positioned either inside or outside the luggage by attaching to the walls of the luggage.

  It is lockable in the closed position by means of a lock installed on the traction system which is the handle of the device 10 in order to secure the elements transported against the risk of theft. Currently, when people are moving, especially for women; they usually have at least one bag held by one hand and a suitcase towed or carried by the other hand, which makes them vulnerable because being loaded and concerned about carrying luggage, they are less available to monitor the behavior of people of their entourage including pick-pockets and also to react in the event of theft of their handbag being snatched in which there would be the elements essential to their autonomy and thus cause multiple inconveniences.

  (similar situations can also occur for men) The present invention aims to secure important effects such as passport, travel tickets, credit cards, money or valuables such as jewelry for example transported during a movement that would be placed in this safety device and not easily accessible from the outside by an attacker.

  This safety device is made up of 3 elements which are _ A RECEPTACLE; in this case, it is a rectangular parallelepiped (non-limiting shape and volume, adapted according to the styles and shapes of the luggage). It is the support for the sliding handle and the mounting plate.

  The interior of the receptacle becomes accessible after sliding the handle of the device halfway so that the opening located on the central wall of the handle is positioned opposite the opening of the receptacle.

  A SLIDING HANDLE; its functions are pulling the luggage and closing the receptacle.

  This handle has between its 2 sliding arms a solid surface in which an opening is made, the dimensions of which are identical to those of the receptacle for easy access to the interior thereof.

  It is fitted with a locking mechanism to prevent its use.

  _ A MOUNTING PLATE: allows the safety device to be mounted on the luggage. It is positioned on the safety device and outside to trap the wall of the luggage with the receptacle. The joining of these 2 elements can be carried out either by screw, or by rivets, or by a stapling system. The assembly can be reversed, that is to say that the plate would be fixed on the rear of the receptacle.

  The invention and the advantages which it brings will be better understood thanks to the exemplary embodiments given below by way of indication but not limitation which are illustrated by the appended drawings: FIG. No1 shows in perspective the safety device as a whole in closed position (handle inside the device) figure N02 represents the safety device the handle deployed halfway in order to access the receptacle figure N03 shows in perspective the safety device with the handle fully deployed in mode traction 35 _ figure N 4 represents the receptacle figure N05 represents the sliding handle with its locking device figure N06 represents the mounting plate

  DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITY DEVICE

  The present invention is a security device adaptable to different types of luggage to protect objects or items of value transported during a trip. They are placed in a protected and lockable receptacle and are only accessible when the handle of the device is deployed halfway.

  This safety device is made up of 3 elements. 10 It includes a receptacle (A) in which valuables or items are placed, a sliding handle (B) whose functions are pulling luggage and protecting access to the receptacle and a mounting plate (C) allowing the mounting of the security device on the walls of the luggage.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ELEMENTS

  THE RECEPTACLE (A): (Fig N 4) The basic shape of this element is a rectangular parallelepiped.

  Its dimensions and shapes can be adapted according to the type of luggage it is intended for. Without the present case, its volume is made up of 5 solid walls (A1 / A2 / A3 / A4 / A5), the 6th wall (A6-handle or front side) is removed to constitute its access.

  It has in the front part 2 lateral Glasea (A7 and A) allowing the guide of the sliding handle (C), of a sufficient length 30 to be adapted to the most important luggage however they can be cut to be adapted to all types luggage, their form in the present case by way of example but not limiting is a U (A 9) ,. but it could be different (cylindrical ,.

square, oval etc).

  On its upper and front part is made an imprint (A 10) to receive the locking member of the sliding handle. It has 4 holes (All / A12 / A13 / A14) to allow its fixing on the luggage with the plate (C.).

  THE SLIDING HANDLE (B) (FIG N 5) Its functions are the pulling of the luggage and the protection as well as the access to the receptacle.

  Depending on the manufacturing method used, this element can be produced either in one piece if the material used is injected plastic, or in several elements if the materials used are of different natures (metal and plastic for example) 1 _ Handle made of injected plastic It is represented by an element whose upper part is the gripping member (B 1), its sides (B7 and B8) constitute the male slides coming to be positioned in the female slides of the receptacle (A7 and A8).

  Its central part (B2) is a solid surface connecting the 2 slides whose length from the base of the handle must be at least equivalent to 3 times the height of the receptacle, its middle has a transverse opening (B3) whose dimensions correspond to those of the receptacle in order to easily access the interior thereof.

  A sailLie footprint. (S) made on the back. of. The central wall represents an end stop for limiting the translation of the handle upwards.

  It has at the top a locking mechanism (B5) such as a lock or coded device, for example, to keep the handle in the closed position if necessary, and at the bottom of an orifice (B6) to lock the handle in position. high.

  2 _ Handle made with different materials (metal and plastic for example) The characteristics of the elements described above remain unchanged, however the materials used to make them may be different; the slides for example (B7 and B8) could be made of metal connected by a central strip (B2) of plastic, the upper part of which would be represented by the handle but the concept always remains identical.

  THE MOUNTING PLATE (C) It allows the fixing of the safety device on the luggage.

  Identical in shape to that of the receptacle, in this case rectangular, it constitutes a frame which is fixed to the front face of the receptacle by different methods either by screw or by rivets or other stapling process using the 4 holes (Cl / C2 / C3 / C4)

ELEMENT ARRANGEMENT

  _ The receptacle (A) is the support for the sliding handle (B) and the mounting plate (C) _ (see fig N 4/5/6) _ The sliding handle (B) is positioned in the middle of the guides receptacle (A7 and A8) _ The plate (C) is positioned on the front face of the receptacle and is assembled either by screws, or by rivets or other mounting method. 20

  USE OF THE SECURITY DEVICE

  The use of this device is carried out in the following manner: _ Take hold of the sliding handle (Bi) of the luggage, slide it up halfway so that the opening (B3) located on the central wall (B2) is opposite the opening of the receptacle (A6) _ Then place the valuables or important to protect in the receptacle Then 2 possibilities: either the handle is returned to its initial position and locked if 35 necessary (the receptacle is closed and the objects are protected) The solid surface located above the opening of the central part (B3) of the handle moved downwards closes the receptacle.

  or the baggage is towed: in this case, pull the handle completely out until it stops (B4 with the receptacle).

  The solid surface located below the opening of the central part (B3) of the handle moved upwards closes the receptacle.

  The sliding handle can be locked in the high position using its locking device (B6). The receptacle is closed, not accessible and the objects are secured.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION

  This security device is adaptable to all types of luggage. It is of interest to luggage manufacturers and will be produced industrially.
