Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device incorporated in a rigid suitcase of current use, allowing the partial retraction of a section of its outer envelope and consequently, the reduction of its overall volume after the user has placed his effects there and closed lid.
- the device according to the invention overcomes this drawback.
- the functional principle of the device consists in eliminating the air contained among the objects placed in the suitcase using a simple household vacuum cleaner.
- the internal depression thus created leads to the retraction of a section of the envelope, consequently reducing the thickness of the bag.
- the retraction stroke is a function of the vacuum power applied and the contents of the bag.
- the device according to the invention can be adapted to the various "containers" used for the transport of materials, objects or goods containing a large quantity of air.
- the suitcase according to the invention, is a baggage in common use of the “rigid” type, the various elements of which can be made of composite materials, making it possible to obtain dimensional precision essential for the proper functioning of the device, and a sufficiently light baggage. rigid to accept internal depression without deformation, stiffeners can be incorporated into the structure if necessary. The non-deformability of the bag must be ensured up to an internal vacuum value of 50 Kpa.
- Figure 1 shows an exterior view of the partially exploded perspective suitcase.
- Figure 2 shows "in section" the device fitted to the suitcase.
- the case (1) is composed of two main elements: The receptacle (2) and the mobile assembly (3).
- the receptacle (2) consists of a bottom and according to the invention a double wall (5/6) peripheral defining a volume (7) "technical" necessary for the establishment and operation of the device.
- the internal wall (5) is pierced with holes (18) of diameter 3 to 4 mm, uniformly distributed over the entire surface.
- the external wall (6) is provided with an air suction valve (8) allowing the "sealed” connection of a standard pipe of household vacuum cleaner. This valve also allows air to pass in the opposite direction to "re-inflate” the bag before it reopens.
- the automatic blocking mechanism is provided with a “key” unlocking control (19) releasing the pawls (16) with springs.
- the mobile assembly (3) is an extension of the receptacle (2), consisting of a frame (4), retractable in the "technical" volume (7) which serves as its sheath. Its upper periphery comprises a specific “profile” (11) intended, while increasing its rigidity, to receive the elements for connection with the cover (12) of the bag: the hinge, the lock strike and the contact surface with the cover gasket.
- the cover (12) has a peripheral groove in which is inserted the seal (13) responsible for ensuring
- the cover a structural element of less resistance, is provided with a safety valve responsible for ensuring the non-deformability of the bag, if the vacuum applied exceeds the value predefined by the manufacturer of the baggage.
- the internal face of the retractable frame is provided with rectilinear pads (14), regularly distributed parallel to the direction of movement, offering a small contact surface with the internal wall (5) of the receptacle, on which they slide.
- the lower periphery of the retractable frame is provided with a perpendicular fold (20) offering a lower support surface and connection with the bellows seal (10).
- the external face of the retractable frame (4) is provided, in line with the automatic locking mechanism integrated into the receptacle, of a rack (15) with fine teeth on which, simultaneously with the retraction movement, the pawls (16) with springs of the blocking mechanism gradually come to bear.
- the seal between the receptacle (2) and the retractable frame (4) is ensured by a bellows seal (10), produced in a single element, placed in the volume (7) " technical ”ensuring its clearance space protected from external aggressions.
- the pawls (16) with springs of the automatic locking mechanism gradually bear on the teeth of the rack (15) until the moment when the retraction movement is opposed to a resistance force. more important, the assembly stops and locks in the volumetric configuration of maximum reduction.
- This device makes it possible to optimize the reduction in the volume of the bag as a function of its content, the mobile assembly being able to be blocked automatically in any position situated between the two end stops of its retraction stroke .
- the retractable frame may include a rack on each of its four sides, and, the receptacle be provided with corresponding locking mechanisms.
- the unlocking mechanism of the spring pawls can be replaced by an electromechanical device.
- the suitcase according to the invention can be used in everyday use or as accompanied luggage particularly suitable for air transport. In this case, the possible reduction of its volume can be made during the check-in formalities.
- the management of accompanied luggage is an important constraint of airport logistics in terms of volume to be transhipped, and, for aircraft manufacturers, represents a volume of hold to book as soon as the plane is designed with technical and cost constraints related to it.
- This suitcase would make it possible to achieve, in the medium term, a reduction of 30% in the volume of accompanied luggage for an identical transported mass.
