[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a suitcase.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a conventional suitcase, the one shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 has been proposed (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-105323). That is, the suitcase 51 is composed of the main body case 52 and the lid case 53. The main body case 52 is a container body that integrally has left and right side walls 54 and 55, front and rear walls 56 and 57, and a rectangular bottom wall 58, and has an opening 59, and is injection molded from synthetic resin. ing. The front wall 56 is provided with a first handle 60 and two buckles 61, 61, the left side wall 54 is provided with a second handle 62, and the right side wall 55 is provided with a caster 70. It is set up.

On the other hand, the lid case 53 is a container body that integrally has left and right side walls 63 and 64, front and rear walls 65 and 66, and a rectangular upper wall 67, and has an opening 68 on the lower surface. Similarly, injection molding is performed using a synthetic resin. The rear wall 66 is pivotally supported by the rear wall 57 of the main body case 52 via a hinge 69, and a caster 70 is disposed on the right side wall 64.

In such a structure, by holding the first handle 60, the suitcase 51 can be conveyed in a horizontally long state, and by holding the second handle 62, the suitcase 51 can be carried. Can be conveyed in a vertically long state, and can be moved on the road or the like by using the caster 70.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In such a conventional suitcase 51, the buckles 61, 61 are provided only on both sides of the first handle 60. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 8, when the suitcase 51 is conveyed in a vertically long state, if the second handle 62 is gripped and lifted, the load on the body case 52 may cause a load on the body case 52. As shown by the arrow, the left side wall 55 and the left side wall 63 of the lid case 53 are deformed in the direction in which they are separated from each other, so that a so-called mouth opening occurs in which a gap is generated between the both opening portions 59 and 68. For this reason, when the second handle 62 is gripped and conveyed during rain, etc., there is a risk that rain or the like will enter the inside from the open mouth and the appearance quality will also deteriorate. It was inconvenient.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and a suit that can be carried without causing any mouth opening regardless of which handle is held. It is intended to provide a case.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Means for Solving the Problems In a suitcase according to the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems, a pair of cases consisting of a container body having a rectangular opening on one surface are connected via a hinge on one side of the opening. A first buckle and a first handle are provided on the opposite side of the opening facing the one side, and a second buckle and a second handle are provided on the adjacent side adjacent to the one side. The case is configured to be opened and closed via the buckles. Further, the second buckle is provided on a side part of the second handle that is separated from the hinge, and further, a caster is provided on the other adjacent side adjacent to the one side and the other adjacent side. A third buckle is provided at a corner portion where a side intersects with the facing side.

[0008]

[Action]

 In the above structure, when the suitcase is lifted while holding the first handle, the buckle provided on the opposite side, like the first handle, prevents the mouth from opening. Further, when the suitcase is lifted while gripping the second handle, the buckle provided on the adjacent side also prevents the mouth opening from opening. Therefore, no matter what kind of handle is gripped and the suitcase is carried, the mouth does not open.

Further, if the second buckle is provided on the side part separated from the hinge of the second handle, the hinge prevents the opening of the mouth from the one end side on the adjacent side where the second handle is provided. The opening on the other end side is blocked by the buckle, so that the opening can be effectively prevented.

Further, according to the configuration in which the caster is provided on the other adjacent side adjacent to the one side, and the third buckle is provided at the corner portion where the other adjacent side and the opposite side intersect, the caster is provided. When the suitcase is moved on the road surface using the caster, there will be no opening on the other adjacent side due to the reaction when the caster travels on the uneven road surface or the load of the luggage stored inside. .

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the suitcase 1 is composed of a main body case 2 and a lid case 3 both of which are injection-molded of synthetic resin. The main body case 2 includes a main wall 4 having a vertically long rectangular shape, upper and lower walls 5 and 6 formed at an upper end portion and a lower end portion of the main wall 4, and a front end of the main wall 4. And a front and rear walls 7 and 8 formed in the rear end portion, which are integral with each other, and include an opening 9. Therefore, like the main wall 4, the opening 9 has a vertically long rectangular shape.

As shown in FIG. 3, a substantially U-shaped first handle 10 is pivotally supported on the front wall 7 at a central portion in the longitudinal direction and near the opening 9. A first buckle 11 is attached between the pivot points of the first handle 10. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a second handle 12 having the same shape as the first handle 10 is pivotally supported on the upper wall 6 at a central portion in the longitudinal direction and near the opening 9. In addition, the second buckle 13 is attached. The second buckle 13 is arranged on a side portion of the second handle 12 which is separated from a hinge described later, that is, on the front wall 7 side of the second handle 12.

On the other hand, on the lower wall 6, a front caster 14 is attached to a portion close to the front wall 7, and a rear caster 15 having a larger diameter than the front caster 14 is attached to a portion close to the rear wall 8. Further, a third buckle 16 is attached to a corner portion where the front wall 7 and the lower wall 6 are continuous.

On the other hand, similarly, the lid case 3 also has a main wall 17 having a rectangular shape elongated in the vertical direction, upper and lower walls 18 and 19 formed above and below the main wall 17, and a main wall 17. The container body has front and rear walls 20 and 21 integrally formed on the front and rear sides thereof and has an opening 22. Therefore, like the main wall 17, the opening 22 has a rectangular shape that is long in the vertical direction, and the first to third buckles 11, 13, 16 are provided around the opening 22. Are provided with locking portions 23, 24, 25 which can be engaged with each other. As shown in FIG. 2, the front caster 14 is attached to the lower wall 19 at a position close to the front wall 20, and the rear caster 15 having a larger diameter than the front caster 14 is provided at a position close to the rear wall 21. It is installed.

Further, the main walls 4 and 17 of both cases 2 and 3 are integrally formed with a belt-like portion 26 in the vertical direction at the central portions thereof. As shown in FIG. 6, the strip-shaped portion 26 has a surface-curved convex portion 27 having a constant width a extending in the horizontal direction and a concave portion 28 located between the adjacent convex portions 27 continuously. It consists of the formed structure. The mold used to mold the cases 2 and 3 is provided with a gate at a position corresponding to a predetermined recess 28. Both the cases 2 and 3 are pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable with each other via a hinge 29 provided at an edge of the rear wall 8 or 21.

In the present embodiment having the above-described structure, when the suitcase 1 is lifted while holding the first handle 10, it is located between the pivot points of the first handle 10 and on the hinge 29. The first buckles 11 provided on the opposite sides prevent the opening between the openings 9 and 22 in both front walls 7 and 20. Further, when the suitcase 1 is lifted while grasping the second handle 12, the second buckle 13 provided on the side portion of the second handle 12 causes the openings in the upper walls 5 and 18 on both sides. Opening between 9 and 22 is blocked. Moreover, since the third buckle 13 is arranged on the side portion separated from the hinge 29 with respect to the second handle 12 as described above, one side portion of the second handle 12 has the second buckle. The opening of the mouth is blocked by 13 and the opening of the other side is blocked by the hinge 29, so that the opening of the mouth can be effectively prevented.

Furthermore, when both the casters 14 and 15 are grounded and the suitcase 1 is moved on the road surface or the like, there is a reaction when one of the casters 14 and 15 gets over an uneven road surface, Due to the load of the stored goods, stress is generated in the direction in which the lower walls 6 and 19 are separated from each other. However, since the third buckle 16 is provided in the corner portion, the opening between the openings 9 and 22 in both lower walls 6 and 19 is the third at both end portions of both lower walls 19. It is blocked by the buckle 16 and the hinge 29, respectively. Therefore, any one of the transport modes can be used, in which the first handle 10 is gripped and lifted and transported, the second handle 12 is gripped and lifted and transported, and the casters 14 and 15 are transported on the road surface. Even in the case of opening, no opening occurs between the openings 9 and 22 of both cases 2 and 3.

[0018]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the pair of cases are connected to each other through the hinge on one side of the opening, and the first buckle and the first handle are provided on the opposite side opposite to the one side. A second buckle and a second handle are provided on the adjacent side adjacent to the one side. Therefore, it goes without saying that the case where the first handle is gripped for transportation and the case where the second handle is gripped for transportation prevents the opening of the case between both cases. be able to. Therefore, no matter how much the handle is gripped and carried during rain, it will not be possible for rain, etc., to enter the inside from the open mouth, and it will be caused by the mouth open. It is possible to eliminate the deterioration of appearance quality. Further, since the second buckle is provided on the side portion separated from the hinge of the second handle, the one side portion of the second handle is prevented from opening by the second buckle and the other side. The hinge prevents the opening of the part, which effectively prevents the opening of the part.

Further, since the caster is provided on the side of the other adjacent side adjacent to the one side, and the third buckle is provided at the corner portion where the other adjacent side intersects with the facing side, The third buckle can prevent the opening of the mouth when it is conveyed by the casters. Therefore, when the first or second handle is gripped and lifted and transported, the mouth opening can be completely prevented in all transport modes in which the caster is used to transport on the road surface.
