Definitions

  • ABSTRACT The case has the general shape of a bell open at its lower portion to receive the apparatus.
  • the case has a handle on its upper surface for carrying the apparatus housed inside the case, this handle being provided with means coupling it directly to the apparatus and held on the case by elastic means.
  • the handle of the case is U-- shaped and has two bayonet connectors housed in respective arms of the U.
  • the upper portion of the apparatus has apertures to receive the ends of the bayonet connectors, the handle having at least one manipulating member for the bayonet connectors.
  • the present invention relates to a carrying assembly for an apparatus. More particularly it relates to an apparatus fitted with a case.
  • Certain apparatus such as, for example, sewing machine and cine projectors, are provided with a case or a removable box to protect them when they are not in use and to facilitate their storage or their transportation. Certain of these apparatuses require cases of robust construction and the means for closing the case or holding the apparatus in the latter must be of particularly solid construction.
  • an assembly of an apparatus provided with a case, in the general shape of a bell open at its lower portion and intended to cover the apparatus, the case having, on its upper surface, a handle for the transportation of the apparatus placed inside the case, this handle being provided with means of direct coupling to the apparatus and being retained on the case by elastic means.
  • the handle 4 is then separated from the upper 1 arm 8 of the sewing machine'9, which enables the case
  • the handle of the case is U-shaped and has two bayonet joint elements held respectively in the arms of the U, the upper portion of the apparatus having complementary elements to receive the ends of the aforesaid bayonet elements, the handle having at least one manipulating member for the said bayonet elements.
  • FIG. 1 shows an assembly according to the invention of a sewing machine enclosed in its case
  • FIG. 2 shows the first phase for separating the sewing machine from its case
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the removal of the case
  • FIG. 4 is a view in partial section of the handle of the case connected to the upper wall of the machine
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of the handle with a partial cross-section along the line V-V of FIG. 4;
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show the fixing of the handle of the machine, respectively in locked position and in unlocked position seen from below with reference to FIG. 4.
  • the sewing machine shown comprises a case 1, in the general shape of a bell open at its lower portion, which is intended to cover the machine of which FIG. 1 only shows the lower portion formed by a base 2.
  • the latter can be detachable from the machine, but it could also form a constituent portion of the machine.
  • the upper surface 3 of the case I bears a handle 4 facilitating the carrying of the machine placed in its case.
  • This handle 4 is provided with direct coupling means to the sewing machine, so that on transportation, the weight of the machine is borne directly by the handle, which relieves the case of any mechanical strain.
  • the base 2of the machine has three flaps 5, 6 and 7 which can be folded back and which, in the position for carrying the machine, are flattened against the case I and retained against the surfaces of the latter by retaining means, not shown, for example, by magnetic pastilles.
  • retaining means not shown, for example, by magnetic pastilles.
  • the fixing of the handle '4 to the upper surface of the arm 8 is obtained by means of two holes 10 whose shape enables a bayonet coupling with two pegs ll forming part of the handle 4.
  • the latter is U-shaped and each of the pegs 11 passes through a bore provided in one of the arms 12, 13 respectively, of the handle 4.
  • Each peg ll bears a transverse rod 14 which, fora predetermined angular position of the peg, can be introduced into a hole 10.
  • the holes 10 are constituted by elongated slots of which the central portion is large enough to enable the passage of the end of a peg 1 l.
  • the rotation of the pegs I 1 can enable the placing of the transverse rod 14 in locked or unlocked position and ensured by an arm 15 rigidly fixed to the upper end of each peg 11; each arm 15 extends radially from the peg and, in closed position of the handle, comes into engagement in a housing l6 of the transverse portion of the handle, as illustrated in the left hand portion of FIG. 4.
  • the handle 4 is retained on the uppersurface 3 of the case 1 by elastic means comprising a bush I7 surrounding each peg 1'1 and a spiral spring 18 supported, on one hand, against the upper surface 3 of the case '1 and, on the other hand, against the bottom of the housin'g l 9 provided in the base of each arm of the'handle '4.
  • the rotation of each peg ll is.limited by a bolt '20which can ensure the connection between thepe'g 1-1 and'its arm 15, and of which the end is moved in a housing 21 limiting to about a quarter of a turn the'possible angular movement of the peg l1.
  • Each bush 17 passes through a'hole in the upper-wall of the case and has a head 22 of largerdia'meter.
  • the latter is intended to be supported against the uppersurface of the arm 8 by means of a conical spring washer 23 and by a flat washer 24 to eliminate play between the handle and the arm 8.
  • connection means between the handle andtheapparatus could be effected in different man'nerQfOr example by means of a milled head screw, or again by hooks and loops belonging respectively to the'handle and to the apparatus.
  • the coupling betwe'enthe apparatus and the handle could also be actuated'by a single actuating member.
  • An apparatus and case assembly said case being hollow and open at its lower end so as to coverthe apparatus, said apparatus including a top wall, a handle mounted on the top surface of said case for attachment to the apparatus housed therein, said handle including a horizontal hand gripping portion with arms atopposite ends thereof and normal thereto, a peg rotatably mounted in each of said arms, the lower 'end of each said peg extending through a related opening inthe upper surface of said case, a rod in the lowerend-of each said peg transversely thereof, flexible means in said arms surrounding said pegs for retaining the handle on the case, the top wall of said apparatus having a pair of spaced elongated openings therein of'g'reater length than said transverse rods, an operating member connected to the upper end of each said peg, means limiting the rotation of said pegs and positioning said rods relative to said openings whereby upon placing said case over said apparatus with said transverse rods passed through said elongated openings, the rotation of said pegs by
  • said flexible means comprises a bush through which said peg passes, said bush fitted in each said opening in the upper surface of the case and having a head of larger diameter than said opening, a conical washer on said peg bearing against the lower surface of said bush and against the top wall of said apparatus when said case is in carrying position to eliminate play between the handle and the apparatus, a spiral spring surrounding said bush, said spring bearing at one end against said am of the handle and at the other end against the top surface of the case.
