Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Trunk with luggage handle and one handle that can be towed on the ground The present invention provides a handle for luggage that can be towed on the ground and a handle for luggage that can be towed on the ground. Regarding trunks (travel bags).

When transporting luggage, especially travel luggage such as trunks, the carrier Attach sliding members or wheels to the luggage so that it can be towed to lighten the load. I'm trying to sleep. For this purpose, grips are also provided on the relevant luggage. One of the known forms In this case, the grip is formed into a ring shape and attached to the luggage with a flexible belt. , fix this belt approximately in the center of the upper area of the luggage. 4 in luggage With wheels, this known ring-shaped grip can be used on a flat, smooth floor. I can tow it without any problem.

Known grips of this type have one problem. For example, small gravel sprinkled on the road may get stuck. If the wheels become stuck or you are pulling on an uneven road, the The vertical direction of the belt may be significantly different from the direction in which the flexible belt is pulled. ．． The same effect occurs when the carrier suddenly changes direction. In that case, luggage A large tensile load is applied in the horizontal direction to the vertical direction of the travel trunk, etc. Luggage usually has a relatively high center of gravity, which makes it very easy to tip over. Become.

In order to eliminate this drawback, several wheels were mounted on one side of the trunk and Secure the grip directly to the side of the trunk opposite the ring and use this grip to hold the trunk. There is a trunk configuration that is lifted and then pulled. But with this configuration , the contents of the trunk may shift to an undesirable position, or even one of the wheels may not move. (If this happens, the person will be more likely to fall or move in an undesirable direction than in the previous example.) However, it has the disadvantage of making the carrier feel uncomfortable.

Another example of a known trunk construction is that the trunk includes a rigid, collapsible unit. I am trying to eliminate the above drawback by attaching a handle in the form of an arm, but this structure However, there are also drawbacks, such as when this handle is used for automatic transport of luggage carriers. Also, if you make a recess in the trunk and try to fit the handle there, it will cause more trouble. The internal volume of the rank is small (becomes).

Another disadvantage is that such known grips are generally retrofitted onto an existing trunk. It cannot be installed.

Another disadvantage is that it places a particularly large burden on this joint, making it difficult to grip. There is even a possibility that it may be removed. Therefore, this part of the grip needs to be particularly strong. The weight increases accordingly. Furthermore, the luggage itself is installed particularly firmly in the fixed area. It must be formed thickly so that it can be obtained.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to avoid the problem of automatic feeding without getting in the way. Does not reduce the internal volume of the luggage and prevents the luggage from falling over even when towed to the side. Our goal is to provide a fear-free luggage grip. Furthermore, the grip of the present invention - For example, when carrying the luggage up the stairs - it is difficult to lift only one side of the luggage. In addition, it is easy to make the grip, and it can be attached to the luggage easily. The purpose is to

This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1 or 6. will be accomplished. A trunk configured according to the invention is described in claim 10. here Luggage includes all types of travel luggage as well as transport boxes and hand luggage. This also includes cars.

The three arms provided according to the invention provide a variety of luggage grips compared to known grips. The possibility of towing is created. In extreme cases this arm may be flexible. That is, In this case it may be constructed of the same material as for example the grip with only a band. In each case, the arm acts as a tension member and its point of attachment to the luggage is It is located farthest from your hands, reducing the risk of falling. Shikaji Nao falls down When attempting to do so, counteract the tendency to fall by moving your grip in the opposite direction. be able to. The luggage in this case is relatively easy to make, and the arm There is also no requirement for thickness.

The grip according to claim 6 makes only a small contribution to solving the problem of falling. However, the rigidity for transmitting force has been improved by a support method that uses the edge of the pipe, At the same time, it can be folded and stored without taking up much space.

Configuration examples of the present invention are described in claims 2 to 5 and 7 to 9. However, its various advantages will be explained below.

The configuration according to claim 2 is particularly stable against lateral forces.

Either fix the arm to the grip so that it does not rotate, or install a lock between the grip and the arm. form a locking mechanism, for example in the form of a groove and a spring or in the form of an interlock between an arm and a grip. By doing so, stability against torsion can be achieved. In this case, the shape of this engagement is not cylindrical.

With the configuration of claim 3, the grip can be folded as small as possible.

Furthermore, at least the third arm (in case both initially first arms are rigid) It is possible to ensure that only tensile loads are applied during transport, which allows the material to You can save on fees.

With the configuration of claim 4, on the one hand, the grip can be folded to save space. On the other hand, a stiffening force transmission system is obtained, which requires relatively little force. This allows you to move the luggage in any direction.

The configuration according to claim 5 improves the stability of the arm and is characterized by the possibility of force transmission. Ru With the structure of claim 7, the luggage can be easily tilted by using the rear sliding member. You can lift it up.

With the structure of claim 8, the grip can be quickly attached to the luggage, and the luggage can be quickly attached to the luggage. It becomes possible to remove it from the page.

The structure of claim 9 makes it easy to stiffen or loosen the grip. In this case, one turnbuckle is adjusted to the initial tension necessary to obtain sufficient stiffness. Used in clauses.

Particularly in relation to the operation of tilting the luggage during transportation, the method described in claim 1O The benefits of rank become clear. In this case, the wheels or rollers are always stored in a stationary position. Therefore, the load is applied only when transporting the trunk.

The invention will now be explained in detail by way of example with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a simplified perspective view of luggage with a grip, and Figure 2 is a grip and protrusion. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the Y-shaped short tube. Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of a grip equipped with a tension lever and a notch lever, excluding the base body. Illustrated.

Figures 5 and 6 are partially cut-away plan views of the end piece of the arm, Figure 7 is with retracted wheels. A side view of the sliding member shown in FIG. 8 is another example with a rigidizable arm. .

The above drawings have been described in relation to each other. Identical parts are given the same symbol and similar Components are shown with the same numbers and different letters. The structure shown is shown as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to these structures. The principle of the invention is claimed defined only by the description within the range, and from this to the range of average expert knowledge. Many detailed solutions are available, which fall within the scope of the invention.

The luggage 3 shown briefly in FIG. Supported above the surface. The front sliding member 17a is used only as a support or sliding member. However, one wheel 18 is incorporated in each of the sliding members 17b on the rear side. When the luggage 3 is slightly lifted and tilted via the sliding member 17b, this car The ring will touch the ground.

On the front side of the luggage, three arms 4 are attached and detached at position 5 above the sliding member 17a. These arms are fixed to the opposite end of luggage 3. It comes with one grip. These three arms 4 include both the first and A plane in which the arms 4a and 4b extend perpendicularly to a plane passing through the longitudinal direction of the luggage 3. , or on a plane perpendicular to a plane perpendicular to the ground, and the third arm 4c is on the grip 1 It is arranged so that it extends diagonally downward.

These arms 4 may be flexible to meet the minimum functionality of the grip of the invention. . However, in many cases only arm 4C is made of flexible belt material, and both The first arms 4a and 4b can be made rigid or non-rigid.

If the arms 4a and 4b become rigid and are firmly connected to the position 5 of the luggage 3. , these arms, together with the third arm 4C, grip luggage 3 more optimally than 1. form a support structure that can be lifted and manipulated in a convenient manner. In this way, Lugge It becomes possible to pull and push the page 3 without any problems. hold your hand tightly If you do, you can easily prevent falls. For this reason, make sure that the grip does not turn to arm 4. The third arm 4C contributes to this effect.

FIG. 2 is an approximately full-sized view of the grip 1. This grip is a single piece made of a hard arcuate body. The tension lever 8 is rotatably attached to the base body 19. be. Tow lines 6a and 6b are connected to this tension lever 8. The towline can be tensioned via one eccentric 9 (FIG. 4).

The eccentric 9 is shown in a simple diagram in FIG. May be placed on both sides of the body.

A short tube 7a or 7b is inserted into the tow ropes 6a and 6b, and the tow rope 6 is pulled. When tensioned, the short pipes 7 are closely connected and support each other on their end faces, making these short pipes Rigidizes the arm formed by the tube.

The principle used here is known as rschukrasystea+J ・One end of the short pipe 7 is provided with a projection and the other end is provided with a depression 10, and these are mutually connected. They have opposite shapes and fit into each other when in a rigid state.

The last short tube between the grip 1 and the other short tubes 7 is formed as a Y-shaped short tube 7c. This shape is such that both towlines 6a and 6b are connected to one towline 6C. (Fig. 3), ensure the same tension or the same stiffness in both arms 4a and 4b. can give. The tow rope 6c has a guide fastener at the end of the tow ropes 6a and 6b. A ring 24 is provided, through which the towlines 6a, 6b can be passed, so that one It can act as a body. That is, the same tension can be obtained on both sides of the towlines 6a and 6b. Move it back and forth inside the retaining ring until it reaches The tension transmitted to the tow rope 6C is the tow rope 6a, 6b. uniformly distributed.

The grip 1 shown in FIG. There is a tension lever 8. This tension lever 8 has one hole 26, Pass the towline 6C through this hole. This towline 6c is fixed at the end of the hole 26 so that it does not slip out. It's a good thing. If you move the tension lever 8, the tension will move through the eccentric 9 shown by the dashed line. A towline 6C (not shown) is pulled to transmit tension to the towline 6.

There is a turnbuckle (not shown) at the end of the towline 6C, and if necessary, The initial tension can be applied by Such a turnbuckle on the one hand It may be a body eccentric or simply a threaded rod or a rotatable body that can be fixed. It may also be composed of square bars.

In the tensioned state, the tension lever 8 has a single notch with a notch 21. The bar 20 presses and holds the base 19. At that time, Notsuchi 21 is It engages with the stopper 22 of the action lever 8. The notch 21 and the stopper 22 are Self-locking at the contact surface. The notch lever 20 is a base body 19 is pivotably supported by a second shaft 27 of the pressed into position. The lever itself may be formed from a spring material.

Push the notch lever 20 in the direction of the arrow 29 with your thumb, for example, against the force of the spring 28. Then, the stopper 22 and therefore the tension lever 8 are released, and the towline 6 is loosened. The short tube 7 also unravels, and the arm 4 becomes flexible.

5 and 6 show the end piece 7e of the arm 4 at position 5 of the luggage 3 (see FIG. 1). Show the configuration. Each terminal part has one retaining ring 14, which is attached to a bolt or a screw. It can be attached to the luggage 3 with naps or other fasteners. here A passage 30 for the towline 6 (not shown) leads to one socket 31, where A knot (not shown) holds the tow rope 6 so that it does not come loose.

The retaining ring 14 may be an open ring - as shown - or a closed ring. this Since the ring is normally under tension on arm 4C, it mainly applies tension on arms 4a and 4b. Receive pressure from any direction.

The sliding member 17 shown in Fig. 7 is attached to the lower side of the luggage 3 (Fig. 1). There is one flat surface 32 on the sliding member, which rests on the ground with the luggage 3 placed on it. It is in. In this placed state, this flat surface 32 corresponds to the wheel 18 attached to the sliding member 17. closer to the ground than the outer periphery of

The wheels 18 touch the ground only when the luggage 3 is lifted or tilted in a vertical direction. At the same time, the plane 32 no longer makes contact with the ground. Wheels 18 are not shown in detail. However, it does have a rubber layer that makes only a small amount of noise when it rolls.

Figure 8 shows a single rigidizable arm with a short tube 7d and a flexible arm 4d. A grip 1a having a grip 1a is shown. The mechanism for pulling the short tube 7d is the same as the method shown in FIG. This is done by the tow rope 6d. However, the short pipe 7d is thicker than the one in Fig. 2, and is stretched The mutual support by the end faces becomes more stable.
