Description

The present invention can be attached to the side of a relatively large luggage storage device having a hard outer shell that can be moved by casters provided at the bottom, such as a travel suitcase (also called a carry bag). The present invention relates to a sole foot that can hold a folded umbrella as needed, and also relates to a suitcase provided with the bottom foot.

A typical suitcase has casters at the four corners of the bottom, an upper handle and a pull-out tow handle at the top, a side handle at the center of one side, and a resin bottom foot at the four corners of the other side. It has. When moving, either push the suitcase upright with the four casters on the ground, or pull out the towing handle to tilt the suitcase and pull with only one pair of casters on one side grounded. On the other hand, when it does not move, the suitcase is tilted sideways so that the other side surface is at the bottom and the four bottom feet are grounded to maintain a stable state.

Suitcase users such as travelers carry suitcases mainly with the casters grounded at airports and train stations, but when it rains, the umbrella used is generally a long umbrella that is not foldable. Due to its size, it cannot be stored in a suitcase, and even if it can be stored, it is not desirable to store it in a wet state with rain. Also, it is inconvenient to store an umbrella that needs to be opened and closed each time you enter or leave the building in a suitcase, but if you carry an umbrella while moving the suitcase, both hands will be blocked. It's inconvenient.

In order to eliminate such inconvenience, suitcases and bags provided with an umbrella storage mechanism as described in Patent Documents 1 to 4 have been proposed.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a suitcase in which an independent umbrella storage space is provided on the outside of the case, and an openable lid plate is attached to this space so that the umbrella can be easily put in and taken out without opening and closing the case. In this case, there is a problem that the storage space of the suitcase itself is eroded by the umbrella storage space. Patent Document 2 discloses a suitcase in which an umbrella storage space is provided by utilizing the space between the inner rods of the carry bar of the suitcase. In this case, water droplets due to storing an umbrella wet with rain are disclosed. Drainage becomes a problem. Patent Document 3 discloses a carry bag in which a plate having a pair of upper and lower foldable flaps is provided in a recess provided in a space between the inner rods of the carry bar, and an umbrella is passed through the flaps vertically expanded to the outside. However, not only is the structure complicated and costly, but in this case, the umbrella is held so that it protrudes outside the back of the carry bag, so the user places the carry bag holding the umbrella right next to the body. At that time, a wet umbrella may touch the outer surface of the leg and wet the clothes, which is inconvenient in a narrow space such as inside a train / bus or an elevator. The bag with an umbrella carrying function disclosed in Patent Document 4 has the simplest and low-cost configuration in which an umbrella is tied to the bag with a pair of upper and lower hook-and-loop fasteners provided on the side surface of the bag. When applied to the side of a suitcase, not only is it time-consuming to put on and take off the umbrella, but if the umbrella is not held, the string becomes idle and spoils the aesthetic appearance, and the suitcase is tilted down to grip the side handle. In this state, the string touches the floor or the ground and becomes dirty.

The present invention was devised to solve the problems of the preceding technology, and the suitcase's original side soles should be used without impairing the function and appearance of the existing suitcase. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bottom foot of a suitcase provided with a simple and low-cost umbrella holding mechanism capable of easily attaching and detaching a long umbrella, and a suitcase provided with the bottom foot.
