  • 3. The rectangular plastic open frame 11 has a big dimension, and the whole structure of the travel bag is heavy, not highly mobile.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present invention to provide a combination travel bag, which can easily be assembled with parts that are separately stored in inventory.
  • According to the present invention, the combination travel bag comprises a cloth body, a top frame and a bottom frame and two rectangular side open frames respectively fastened to the openings on the top, bottom and two opposite lateral sides of said cloth body, two side panels respectively covered with a covering and respectively fastened to said rectangular side open frames, and two decoration strips respectively fastened to said rectangular side open frames around the covering at each of said side panels.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a travel bag according to the prior art.
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a combination travel bag according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is an assembly view of the combination travel bag according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view in an enlarged scale of a part of the combination travel bag according to the present invention.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a combination travel bag in accordance with the present invention is shown comprising a cloth body 20. The cloth body 20 has an opening 20A on each of the top, bottom and two opposite lateral sides. A top frame 22, a bottom frame 23 and two rectangular side open frames 21 are respectively fastened to the openings 20A on the top, bottom and two opposite lateral sides of the cloth body 20. Two side panels 24 are respectively covered with a covering 25 and respectively fastened to the rectangular side open frames 21. Two decoration strips 26 are respectively fastened to the rectangular side open frames 21 around the covering 25 at each side panel 24.
  • The side panels 24 are respectively molded from foam material or ethylene vinyl acetate for the advantage of light in weight. The covering 25 is directly adhered to the associating side panel 24. The rectangular side open frames 21 can be directly molded from plastics in integrity. Alternatively, each rectangular side open frame 21 can be formed of two substantially
    Figure US20080078636A1-20080403-P00001
    -shaped frame parts.
  • Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 3 again, the cloth body 20, the top frame 22, the bottom frame 23 and the two rectangular side open frames 21 are assembled at first, and then the two coverings 25 are respectively adhered to the two side panels 24, and then the two side panels 24 are respectively fastened to the rectangular side open frames 21, and then two decoration strips 26 are respectively stitched to the rectangular side open frames 21 and the covering 25 at each side panel 24, and then wheels 28 are installed in the bottom frame 23, and then a retractable handle 27 is installed in the bottom frame 23 and the top frame 22.
  • As indicated above, the invention has the following advantages:
  • 1. In inventory, parts for combination travel bag are classified and separately stored before assembly, thereby saving much storage and packing space, convenient for delivery.
  • 2. The top frame 22, the bottom frame 23 the two rectangular side open frames 21 form the framework of the combination travel bag, providing a high strength.
  • 3. The rectangular side open frames 21 are open frames, reducing the weight of the combination travel bag.
  • 4. The decoration strips 26 seal the gap around the side open frames 21 and cause a linear sense of beauty.
  • Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
