Abstract

The present invention provides a carry case with casters that can be stably and upright. In the case where a plurality of casters 4 and a plurality of bottom feet 9 for supporting the carry case 1 are provided at the bottom of the carry case 1, the carry case 1 is placed upright. When the carry case 1 is placed upright, the plurality of casters 4 are attached to the respective support rods 10 so that each of the plurality of casters 4 can be moved in the vertical direction. The support rod 10 extends in the vertical direction and is configured to be retractable into the carry case 1. [Selection] Figure 1

Description

  The present invention relates to a carry case, and more particularly, to a carry case with a caster that can stably stand upright.

  Carry cases are increasingly used for long trips and business trips. The carry case is composed of a carry handle that is used when towing the carry case, a plurality of casters that rotate when the carry handle is checked, a hand handle (grip), and a bottom foot (glide). (See Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  When a carry case with multiple casters and carry handles is placed on a slope, the user prevents the carry case from rolling down the hill by changing the direction of the caster. If the direction of the caster is changed, the carry case may roll down to the hill unexpectedly.

  In addition, when placed upright on a flat place, the carry case is unlikely to move unexpectedly, but when someone else touches the carry case or receives a large shake such as an earthquake. The carry case may move unexpectedly. In particular, it is dangerous if the carry case comes into contact with others on a railway platform and falls on the track.

  At present, carry cases including casters with a lock device are also commercially available, but it is difficult to judge from the appearance whether the lock is applied. Even when the casters with locks are locked, the carry case cannot be stabilized only by supporting the casters.

  That is, in the case of a carry case including a caster with a lock device, the carry case is not stable because the contact area between the caster and the road surface is small and the frictional force is small.

  Provide a carry case with casters that can stand upright stably. It is convenient to have a carry case with casters that can prevent rolling down the hill even when placed on a hill.

  In the case where a plurality of casters and a plurality of bottom feet for supporting the carry case are provided at the bottom of the carry case, and the carry case is placed upright (vertically placed) Provided is a carry case configured to be able to move each of a plurality of casters in a vertical direction.

  In one embodiment, when the plurality of casters are vertically elevated and in the highest position, the carry case is supported only by the plurality of soles, while when the plurality of casters are lowered and in the lowest position, the plurality of casters are In order to be able to support the carry case only with the casters, the vertical movable range of each caster is configured to be a predetermined movable range including a position higher than a bottom position of the bottom foot. It is characterized by that.

  In one embodiment, the plurality of casters are casters with a lock device, and the casters are released by pressing a lock release button provided corresponding to each of the plurality of casters, and the casters are moved vertically. It is configured to be able to move to.

The perspective view which shows the carry case of this invention. The figure which shows the carry case (carry handle side) self-supporting with the support of a some caster. The figure which shows the carry case (carry handle side) which is self-supporting by the support of a several bottom leg. The figure which shows the bottom part (bottom surface) of a carry case. The figure which shows a mode when ((a) Carry case of this invention, (b) Carry case of a conventional product) is put on the slope. The figure which shows the carry case in the state where the carry handle is extended.

  The carry case of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in one embodiment, the carry case 1 includes a body side shell 2 and a lid side shell 3, and the user pulls the carry case 1 to move. A carry handle 5 is provided.

  In addition, a plurality of casters 4 configured to be movable within a predetermined movable range in the vertical direction (arrow A / B direction shown in FIG. 1) are provided on the bottom surface 6 of the carry case 1.

  Each caster 4 may be a double wheel or a single wheel as shown in FIG. An appropriate wheel may be selected according to the size and form of the carry case 1.

In one embodiment, when a lock release button 7 provided corresponding to each caster 4 is pressed, the caster 4 is unlocked, and the caster 4 can be moved together with the support rod 10 of the caster 4. It becomes possible (refer patent document 1).

  Referring to FIG. 1, when it is desired to raise the caster 4 in the vertical direction to a higher position, the lock release button 7 may be pushed to move the caster 4 together with the support rod 10 in the direction of arrow A.

  In one embodiment, when it is desired to lower the casters 4 in the vertical direction to a lower position, the casters 4 are stored in a nested manner by simply pressing the lock release buttons 7 provided for the respective casters 4. The caster 4 is configured to move in the direction of arrow B together with the support rod 10 (for example, a mechanism similar to a one-touch folding umbrella).

  In one embodiment, a bottom foot 8 for self-supporting is also provided on the side surface of the carry case 1. The bottom foot 8 provided on the side surface becomes a support when the carry case 1 is self-supported after the user holds the carry case 1 with the hand holding the handle 1b.

  When the plurality of casters 4 are lifted to a position higher than the bottom surface 9 a of the bottom foot 9 along the arrow A direction shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of bottom feet 9 replace the carry case 1 in place of the plurality of casters 4. It can be supported in an independent state. In one embodiment, two bottom feet 9 are provided on the body-side shell 2 and the lid-side shell 3 in the same manner as the bottom feet 8 provided on the side surfaces.

FIG. 3 shows the carry case 1 in a self-standing state using a plurality of bottom feet 9. FIG. 4 shows the arrangement of the sole 9 in one embodiment.

  FIG. 5A shows a state when the carry case 1 of the present invention is placed upright on the slope 11 (vertically placed). Since the carry case 1 is self-supporting on the slope 11 using the plurality of bottom feet 9 provided at the bottom of the carry case 1, the carry case 1 is prevented from rolling down the hill. Thus, when the user of the carry case 1 is waiting for a signal on a slope, it can be prevented that the carry case 1 rolls out on the road.

  FIG. 5B shows a state where the conventional carry case 12 is placed on the slope 11. Since the conventional carry case 12 is supported by a plurality of casters 13, depending on the direction of the casters 13, the carry case 12 may unexpectedly roll down down.

  Even if the carry case 1 is placed on a flat surface, the caster 4 may move unexpectedly when it comes in contact with a person or receives a large vibration (earthquake, etc.). In addition, it is possible to prevent the carry case 1 from moving unexpectedly by lifting the plurality of casters 4 of the carry case 1 and allowing them to stand by using the plurality of bottom feet 9.

  FIG. 6 shows the carry case 1 of the present invention with the carry handle 5 extended.
