Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a travel case or a suitcase, and more particularly to a travel case designed to simplify inspection procedures and the like during customs clearance.

(Problems to be solved by the conventional technology and the present invention) When entering an arriving country in overseas travel, baggage must undergo customs inspection. At this time, the travel case can be opened and closed relatively easily, but it is still customary to open the case and check the contents. Except in special cases, most passengers' baggage often ends with a tentative inspection, so even in such a case it is time-consuming to open the case and store the contents again. Although it is wasteful from the standpoint, the conventional checking method is currently used without an appropriate means.

Therefore, there is a demand for a case where the contents can be immediately confirmed from the outside during customs clearance.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The above-mentioned object is made of a transparent synthetic resin material, and a case main body including a storage portion and a door lid portion that can be opened and closed by a hinge portion, and an outer surface of the case main body in a closed state. It has a shape that covers at least most of it, and is attachable / detachable to / from the main body in which attaching / detaching holders are attached to respective edge portions facing each other when attached along the outer surface of the case body. A sheet-shaped non-transparent cover member, a removable transparent partition shelf plate that divides the interior of the housing portion of the case body into a plurality, and a handle attached to the case body,
The solution is provided by a travel case characterized by having a locking portion formed on the case body and a caster wheel attached to the bottom portion of the case body.

(Operation) The case body of the travel case of the present invention comprises a storage part and a door lid part that can be opened and closed, and is opened and closed by a hinge part like a normal travel case.

The case body is made of a transparent synthetic resin material, and the contents stored in the storage section can be easily confirmed from the outside of the case.

In addition, a non-transparent cover member is attached to the outer surface of the case body so as to be removable so that at least the main part of the outer surface of the case body is covered at all times so that stored items cannot be seen from the outside like a normal case. It has become.

Therefore, the travel case is always carried with the cover member attached, and the contents can be clearly confirmed from the outside without opening the case body if the cover member is removed only when customs clearance or the like is necessary.

In this case, if the contents are collectively put in the storage portion of the case body, it may be difficult to confirm from the outside in some cases. For this reason, in one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the visibility is improved by dividing the storage portion into a plurality of storage compartments by a transparent partition shelf and storing the individual contents in a separated state.

In addition, it is preferable that the shelf plate be removable from the case body so that the size of each storage section can be changed as necessary.

As a basic structure for mounting the shelf board, it is preferable to form each storage section at right angles to the longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction) of the case, but it is also possible to provide the shelf board in a direction at right angles to the storage area. A shape that combines the partitions of is also possible.

It is preferable that the material of the case body is made of a heat-moldable synthetic resin such as ABS resin acrylic resin in consideration of transparency, durability, workability and the like.

A handle of the case carrying portion is provided on the top of the case body, and a caster wheel is provided on the bottom of the case main body, and a locking device is attached to an arbitrary portion where the storage portion and the door lid are aligned.

The non-transparent cover member detachably provided on the transparent case body is preferably shaped so as to cover the main part of the case body, for example, the four side surfaces excluding the top and bottom,
Appropriate tightening and holding means such as a belt fitting or a hook is provided at the opposite ends of the cover member when attached to the case.

If necessary, the cover member may be provided with a portion that covers the top and bottom of the case body.

As the material of the cover member, any material such as leather, artificial leather, cloth, and synthetic fiber product can be used as long as it is non-transparent and has the same appearance and material as the material of a usual travel case.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to a travel case held by a person, but is generally applied to a case for transporting an article whose contents need to be confirmed.

Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the outer appearance of a travel case as an embodiment of the present invention at all times, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the case body in a closed state.

As shown in Fig. 1, the travel case of the present invention is made of transparent ABS.
It is composed of a case body 1 made of a resin-containing openable and closable housing 2 and a door lid 3, and a laser-made cover member 4 detachable from the case body 1. A handle 5 is provided on the top of the case body 1 and caster wheels 6, 6 are provided on the bottom thereof.

As will be described later, the case main body is detachable by means of belt fittings 7 and 7 and hooks 8 and 8 provided at opposite ends of the case body with the cover member 4 attached thereto, as will be described later.

As shown in detail in FIG. 2, a reinforcing metal strip 9 is provided on the peripheral portion of the housing portion 2 of the case body 1 facing the door lid 3.
And the handle 5 is screwed to the strip 9 at the top position of the case. Further, a locking device 10 is provided at an appropriate position on a side portion of the case where the housing portion 2 of the case body and the door lid 3 are aligned with each other across these opposing portions.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the inside of the case body 1 in more detail.

The housing portion 2 and the door lid 3 of the case body 1 are separately formed from a transparent and high-strength acrylic resin by die molding as described above, and are hingedly connected to each other by a hinge portion 11.

A pair of fitting grooves 12A, 12B along the depth direction are integrally machined at the time of forming the pair of fitting grooves 12A, 12B on the both side walls in the longitudinal direction on the side of the storage portion 2. This is also transparent A
By slidingly fitting the shelf plate 13 made of BS resin, the space of the storage section 2 is divided into a plurality of (four in the figure) sections.

A cover member 4 as shown in FIG. 4 is detachably attached to the outer side of the transparent case body 1 formed in this way.

The cover member 4 is made of a leather sheet having a shape and size so as to cover the outer surface of the case body 1, and has ends 3A, 3A and 3B facing each other when attached to the case body 1 as shown in FIG.
Belt fittings 7A, 7A …… and 7B, 7B… that connect 3B to each other
… And hooks 8,8 …… are provided.

The cover member 4 is not limited to the illustrated shape, and a portion that covers the top surface and the bottom surface of the case body 1 may be further added. Further, in the example shown in the figure, it is made of one piece of leather, but a synthetic resin layer or waterproof cloth may be covered on the back surface to form a reversible form.

Incidentally, as the tightening means for the cover member, an arbitrary member such as a fastener may be used other than the belt fitting.

The travel case of this embodiment has a cover member 4 shown in FIG. 4 on the outside of the case body 1 which is closed as shown in FIG.
By attaching and tightening the belt fittings 7, 7 and the like, as shown in FIG. 1, the appearance becomes similar to that of a normal travel case.
