Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a suitcase.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a hinge is mounted on a suitcase so that the suitcase can be freely opened and closed. However, since the surface on which the hinge is mounted has irregularities, the suitcase falls down when the surface is turned down. Therefore, it is necessary to devise the structure of the hinge so that the suitcase does not fall over. However, there is a problem that the rotation of the hinge is limited, the suitcase cannot be opened at 180 ° C., and the luggage cannot be easily taken in and out.

[0003]

Therefore, the present invention can stabilize the hinge so that it does not fall even when the hinged surface is placed on the lower side, and the hinge can be opened 180 ° without being restricted. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a suitcase that can be easily loaded and unloaded.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the suitcase of the present invention is provided with a hinge 10 so that it can be opened and closed freely, and one of the attachment plates 25 of the hinge 10 functions as a leg. When the projection 17 is provided, and the other mounting plate portion 24 is rotated and superimposed on the mounting plate portion 25 provided with the projection 17, the mounting plate portion 24 fits between the projection 17 and the rotation support shaft portion 26. The position and shape of the projection 17 are set so that collision between the outer edge of the mounting plate 245 and the projection 17 can be avoided, and the height of the projection 17 is set to be equal to or less than the thickness of the mounting plate 24. It is characterized by the following.

[0005]

Since the projection 17 plays the role of a leg, the posture when the suitcase is placed with the surface on which the hinge 10 is provided facing downward is stabilized. Further, since the position, shape and height of the projection 17 are set so as to avoid collision with the mounting plate portion 24, the suitcase can be opened by 180 °.

[0006]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. The overall shape of this suitcase is a vertically long casing, which can be freely opened and closed at the center. A caster 8 is attached to the bottom part, a handle 9 is attached to the top part 2, and two upper and lower parts of one side part 3 are attached. Hinges 10 and 11 are attached to the locations, and a handle (not shown) and an electronic lock (not shown) are attached to the other side surface 4.

[0007] An aluminum frame 1 is disposed in the center, and the frame 1 is split into two parts so that the frame can be opened and closed. The above-mentioned handle 9, hinges 10, 11 and electronic lock are attached to the frame 1.

As shown in FIG. 3, a bottom core plate 13 is attached to the lower side of the frame 1, and a reinforcing plate 14 is mounted thereon.
Are stacked, and the casters 8 are fixed to the bottom core plate 13 and the reinforcing plate 14. A substantially triangular rib 15 is provided at the lower end on both left and right sides of the frame 1, and the rib 15 is continuous with the bottom core plate 13.

The outside of the frame 1 is connected to a stretchable flexible material 5 which constitutes a series of a top part 2, side parts 3 and 4 on both sides, and a bottom part 16. This flexible material 5
As the material, any material can be selected from cloth, synthetic resin, leather, and the like. In this embodiment, cloth is used.
Incidentally, the flexible material 5 covers the outer surface of the bottom core plate 13 at the bottom portion 16. The flexible material 5 also covers the outer surface of the rib 15 on the side surfaces 3 and 4. With this flexible material 5, the upper surface 2 and the side surfaces 3, excluding the lower end,
4 is flexible.

A front body portion 6 and a rear body portion 7 are connected to the outside of the flexible material 5 constituting the upper surface portion 2, the side surface portions 3 and 4, and the bottom surface portion 16, respectively. In this embodiment, the front body portion 6 and the rear body portion 7 use the same flexible material 5, that is, cloth, as the upper surface portion 2 and the side surface portions 3 and 4. Therefore, the front trunk 6
In order to enhance the shape retention of the rear body 7 and the front body 6, the front body 6 and the rear body 7 are provided with a ball containing a piano wire with respect to the flexible material 5 constituting the upper surface 2 and the side surfaces 3 and 4. They are connected via the edge 12 (see FIG. 2). The front body 6 and the rear body 7 are not limited to a flexible material such as the cloth described above, but may be a molded cylinder using a resin material or a peff material.

A frame 1, an upper surface 2, both side surfaces 3,
4, a lining is attached to the inner surface side of the bottom surface portion 16, the front trunk portion 6, and the rear trunk portion 7, but they are omitted in the drawing.
Further, leather or the like may be attached to the groove on the outer surface of the frame 1 for decoration.

As described above, the upper and lower portions of one side portion 3
Hinges 10 and 11 are respectively attached to the locations, and projections 18 and 19 are integrally provided at both ends of the hinge 11 at the lower end. The hinge 10 at the upper end also has a projection 17 substantially at the center.
Is provided. These projections 17, 18, and 19 serve as legs when the suitcase is turned sideways and the side portion 3 is turned down. Since the hinge 11 at the lower end can be fixed to the rib 15 provided at the lower end of the side portion 3,
Although the projections 18 and 19 can be arranged at both ends thereof, the hinge 10 at the upper end cannot be fixed because the outer side surface 3 of the frame 1 is formed of the flexible material 5 and cannot be fixed. The width is limited to substantially the same as the width of the frame 1. Therefore, the projection 1 is provided only at one location substantially at the center.
7 are provided.

By the way, in order to open the suitcase and put in / out the luggage, it is desirable that the frame 1 be opened by 180 °. However, the projections 17 and 1 provided on the hinges 10 and 11 are preferable.
There is a problem that 8 and 19 are in the way. Therefore, in the hinge 11 at the lower end, the mounting plate portions 2 on both sides of the rotation shaft portion 20 are provided.
When the projections 18, 19 are folded, the positions thereof are shifted so that the projections 18, 19 do not abut against each other.
Is provided with a concave portion 23 in which the other projection 18 is immersed.

On the other hand, the hinge 10 at the upper end has the following configuration. That is, when the mounting plate portion 24 on which the projection 17 is not provided is rotated and overlapped with the mounting plate portion 25 on which the other projection 17 is provided, the projection 1
In order to prevent the mounting plate 24 from being brought into contact with the mounting plate 24, the position of the projection 17 is adjusted so that the mounting plate 24 fits between the rotation support shaft 26 and the projection 17, and the inner surface of the projection 17 is The inner surface is formed as a slope 27 so as to escape from the outer edge of the mounting plate portion 24. The height of the projection 17 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the mounting plate 24 so that the head does not abut the side surface 3 to which the mounting plate 24 is mounted (see FIG. 5). The projection 17 is separate from the mounting plate 25 and is mounted so as to cover the mounting plate 25. However, the projection 17 may be formed integrally with the mounting plate 25.

[0015]

[Effect of the Invention] The present invention is as described above, and the hinge 10
Even when the suitcase is placed with the surface on which the is attached on the lower side, the projection 17 plays the role of a leg, so that the posture does not fall down stably. In addition, since the position, shape and height of the projection 17 are set so as to avoid collision with the mounting plate portion 24 and the side surface portion 3, the projection 17 can be completely opened by 180 ° to facilitate loading and unloading.
