Definitions

  • the invention relates to a case consisting of at least two parts, which is provided with rotatably mounted rolling elements.
  • the object of the invention is to design a case of the type described in the introduction in such a way that the disadvantages explained above are avoided.
  • the aim is that the suitcase can still be transported forward on the floor in a rolling manner if the latter has larger bumps, for example steps or shoulders.
  • the available storage space in the case should not experience any significant reduction as a result. In particular, there should be no need.
  • the case should also be easy to handle and require no complex production.
  • the invention proposes that the case has a substantially circular shape in side view and the rolling elements are designed as rings or wheels which are rotatably mounted on the case in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the case, the The outside diameter of these rolling elements is larger than the largest outside diameter of the case.
  • the axis of rotation of the rings or wheels will coincide with the longitudinal axis of the case, which will normally be a rotationally symmetrical body. This means that in the normal case only locks, handles, hinges and similar parts attached to the base body are not, or not in all cases, adapted to the rotationally symmetrical shape of the base body.
  • the inventive design of the case allows the use of rolling elements, the diameter of which is somewhat larger than that of the case, so that even with the minimum size of such a case in question, the diameter of the treads corresponds at least to that of a car wheel.
  • the case can be rolled over bumps that such a wheel can handle. It is essential that the structure and the contour of the case are not significantly impaired or complicated by the rolling elements. This applies in particular insbeson then when "dung according to a further proposal of the Erfin the rolling elements advantageously at or near the end sides of the suitcase are located.
  • the rolling elements can be formed as two rings arranged at an axial distance from one another, which are held and guided in bearings attached to the case.
  • Rolls can be used as bearings, which are attached to the case along the circumference.
  • the areas of the case bearing these bearings can be slightly drawn in relative to the other peripheral areas, so that the rings protrude only slightly outwards beyond the area of the jacket surface of the case with the maximum diameter.
  • it can be avoided by such an arrangement that the axial extension of the entire case, including the rolling rings, is greater than that of the base body.
  • the use of such tires does not impair the possibility of making the end faces of the case somewhat curved outwards in the usual manner, that is to say convexly.
  • the running elements are wheel-shaped and are each attached to an end face of the case.
  • the latter could be done in such a way that short axle bolts are attached to the front of the case, around which the wheels rotate in each case.
  • the arrangement can be such that the outer wheels are each covered on the outside by a fixed screen, the outer diameter of which is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the impellers, advantageously approximately equal to the outer diameter of the case.
  • the Elasticity is chosen so that on the one hand the rolling noise and on the other hand the effort required to roll the case is low.
  • the case can be provided with a fold-out or extendable handle.
  • This handle is advantageously designed in such a way that it also serves as a locking element preventing a rolling movement.
  • it is useful to provide the handle with a device that allows it to be fixed in its effective position.
  • the case according to the invention is advantageously divided in half in the manner of the conventional shell case in a plane perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, the two halves being connected to one another via a hinge-like part.
  • This hinge can be designed such that the parts forming it and thus also the two parts of the case can be completely separated from one another.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic side view of a suitcase
  • FIG. 2 the associated front view
  • FIG. 3 a cross section through the case
  • FIG. 4 a representation corresponding to FIG. 2 of another embodiment, partly in section
  • FIG. 5 an end view of the case according to FIG. 4, the 6 are another embodiment in which the two halves of the case are pivotally connected to one another by means of a hinge.
  • the case 10 which is circular in side view, consists of two parts 12, 14, which in the usual way, for. B. using a hinge, can be connected to each other, at least one lock or the like. Is provided which secures the two parts in their closed position.
  • the two parts 12 and 14 are essentially cylindrical, the transition into the respective end surface 16 or 18 taking place via a step-shaped shoulder 20 or 22, the outer surface 24 or 26 of which has a smaller diameter than the outer surface 28 or 30 of the two parts 12, 14 which run between the two stepped shoulders 22 and 20.
  • stationary bearing rollers 32 are rotatably attached to pins 34, which are used to support roller rings 36.
  • the roller rings each consist of a base profile 38, preferably made of metal or relatively hard plastic, into which rings 40 made of elastic material are inserted. With their areas in contact with the bearing rollers 32, the base profiles 38 are adapted to the contour of the bearing rollers 32, which not only provide support in the radial direction, but also lateral guidance due to their concave lateral surface.
  • the lateral areas 42 of the basic profiles 38 facing the end faces 16 and 18 of the two halves 12 and 14 are bent in the direction of the respective end faces 16 and 18, so that they are smaller at a short distance from the respective lateral surfaces 24 and 26 End diameter and shield the bearing rollers 32 to the outside.
  • the case 10 is pushed or pulled on a handle 42 which can be swung or swiveled from the outer surface, the rolling rings 36 executing a rotational movement around the two parts 12 and 14 forming the case 10, which leads to a rolling movement of the case on the floor 44 leads.
  • the handle 42 can also be assigned a likewise foldable or foldable locking element 48 which, in its effective position shown in FIG. 1, serves to hold the handle 42 in the position also shown in FIG. 1, so that it acts as a brake at the same time serves to prevent the case from rolling on unintentionally.
  • the case can be provided with a - possibly additional - handle, which is similar to the handles on conventional suitcases and is used for brief handling of the case, for example to carry it up or down stairs.
  • the running surfaces of the rings 40 must have a slightly larger outer diameter than the largest diameter of the case, that is to say the outer surfaces 28, 30. This difference in diameter need not be very great in order for the case to be under all conditions to be considered in practical use To use the rolling rings 36 as a means of transportation.
  • FIGS. 4-6 differ in particular from the embodiment according to FIGS. 1-3 in that the rolling elements are designed as wheels 136 attached to the end faces 116 and 117, which are rotatable on short Axis sections 150 are mounted. The latter are firmly connected to the respective end wall of the case part 112 or 114. Like the roller rings 36 of the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1-3, the two wheels 136 rotate about the longitudinal axis of the essentially cylindrical case. Fig. 4 of the drawing also shows that both wheels 136 are each covered by a fixed panel 152 which is fixedly attached to the associated axle section 150.
  • the wheels 136 can be designed as disk wheels or as spoke wheels.
  • the thickness that is to say extension parallel to the longitudinal axis of the case 110, is not very large. It may be expedient to widen the peripheral edge of the wheels in order to achieve a sufficiently wide tread, e.g. B. in that the peripheral edge is bent by about 90 °. In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, in which the edges are widened or bent outwards, this has the advantage that at the same time the area between the screen 152 and the associated wheel 136 is also covered along the respective circumference. In a departure from the embodiment according to FIGS. 1-3, the embodiments according to FIGS. 4-6 are provided with flat end faces 116 and 118, which run essentially parallel to the wheels 136.
  • the two case halves 112 and 114 can be designed to be completely separable from one another, with bars, locks or the like 154 being distributed over the circumference in the region of the separating joint 146 and firmly connecting the two case halves 112 and 114 to one another.
  • an arrangement according to the illustration in FIG. 6 is also conceivable, in which both case parts or halves 112, 114 are connected to one another in the usual way via a hinge 156, so that the case can be opened.
  • the hinge 156 can be designed in such a way that a complete detachment of the two parts from one another is also possible. 5 and 6 are applicable to the case according to FIGS. 1-3. Conversely, the same applies to the attachment of handles or the like to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 4-6.
