Description

Functional Travel Carrier {TRAVEL CARRIER}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a functional travel carrier, and more particularly, to a functional travel carrier capable of providing a chair function as needed without requiring a complicated structure or driving, thereby greatly improving its utilization.

Travel Carrier (TRAVEL CARRIER) is a type of bag used to store and move clothes and other items when traveling.

Demand for travel carriers has been increasing rapidly due to frequent trips to other countries, including Korea.

On the other hand, unlike an ordinary bag, a traveling carrier is provided with a wheel at its lower end. Therefore, there is no inconvenience to move the travel carrier even if the weight of the entire travel carrier becomes heavy because the amount of the load contained in the travel carrier is large.

That is, when the handle is pulled out and the carrier body is slightly inclined, the wheels can be easily moved because the wheels roll on the ground. In recent years, since an expensive bearing is mounted on a wheel and its performance is greatly improved, it is very easy to roll and move a travel carrier.

The exterior material of the travel carrier varies from soft materials to hard cases.

On the other hand, the travel carriers known so far have various sizes and shapes ranging from a small size that can be carried onboard to a size that is large enough to be called an immigrant bag, It is not proposed.

Actually, considering the fact that when going to the airport for overseas travel, the waiting time is not enough and it is possible to cause severe fatigue when standing, it is necessary to provide a technology for a functional travel carrier Development is necessary.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 4 are diagrams showing steps of using a functional travel carrier according to the first embodiment of the present invention as a chair, and FIGS. 5 and 6 are views schematically showing the operation of a body supporting unit for each chair, Respectively.

Referring to these drawings, the functional travel carrier 100 according to the present embodiment can provide a chair function (see FIG. 4) as needed without requiring a complicated structure or driving, A carrier body 110 which is provided to be able to be drawn out from one side of the carrier body 110 and which can be used as a chair, And a body supporting unit 120 for a chair which supports the body supporting unit 120 separated from the body supporting unit 120.

First, the carrier body 110 is a bag in which a storage space for storing articles is formed. Can mean the usual luggage itself.

The carrier body 110 may include a body case 111 having a storage space formed therein and a fixing handle 112 provided at an upper portion of the body case 111.

The body case 111 may be formed of a cloth material, or may be formed of a plastic material, as the case may be.

A pull-out handle 113 is provided around the fixed handle 112. The pulling-type handle 113 is normally drawn into the body case 111, but is pulled out from the body case 111 as shown in the use.

A plurality of main wheels 114 are provided under the body case 111. The main wheels 114 serve to move the functional travel carrier 100 according to the present embodiment.

On the other hand, a unit installation space 115 (see FIGS. 5 and 6) for forming a space in which the chair body supporting unit 120 is installed is formed at one side of the carrier body 110.

In other words, a unit installation space 115 is formed on one side wall of the body case 111 of the carrier body 110 to allow the chair body supporting unit 120 to be installed. Since the chair unit body supporting unit 120 is installed in the unit installation space unit 115, it may be preferable that the unit installation space unit 115 is separated from other areas.

A chair opening 116 is formed in one side wall of the carrier body 110 to allow the chair body supporting unit 120 to be drawn in or pulled out.

Next, the chair body supporting unit 120 is provided so as to be pulled out from one side of the carrier body 110 and supports the carrier body 110 in a spaced relation to the ground so that the carrier body 110 can be used as a chair It is a structure.

In other words, the body supporting unit 120 for a normal chair is hidden in the unit installation space portion 115 through the chair opening 116 formed on one side wall surface of the carrier body 110 as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 .

However, when the functional travel carrier 100 according to the present embodiment is to be used as a chair, it may protrude outward through the chair opening 116 formed on one side wall of the carrier body 110 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, 110 are spaced apart from the ground.

Thus, in this case, the traveler may sit on the carrier body 110 as shown in FIG.

The body supporting units 120 for performing such a role are provided with a plurality of identical structures symmetrical to each other. In the case of the present embodiment, the chair body supporting unit 120 is disposed on the widest face of the carrier body 110.

The chair body supporting unit 120 includes a rotary shaft 121 rotatably coupled to one side of the unit installation space 115 and a rotary shaft 121 connected to the rotary shaft 121, And a chair leg 122, The operation of the chair leg portion 122 by the rotating shaft 121 may be fully manual.

A method of using the functional travel carrier 100 having such a configuration will be briefly described.

In order to use the functional travel carrier 100 according to the present embodiment as a chair in a state where the chair body supporting unit 120 is concealed in one side wall of the carrier body 110 as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 5, The chair leg portion 122 of the support unit 120 is held and the chair leg portion 122 is pulled out.

3 and 6, the rotation of the rotary shaft 121 causes the chair leg 122 to protrude outward through the chair opening 116 formed in one side wall of the carrier body 110, As shown in Fig.

In this state, it is possible to sit comfortably on the carrier body 110 as shown in FIG.

According to the present embodiment having the structure and function as described above, the chair function can be provided as needed without complicated structure or driving, and its utilization can be greatly improved.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a functional travel carrier according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a front view of a functional travel carrier according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
