Definitions
- This invention relates to the construction of luggage such as suitcases and/or trolley cases for use by travellers.
- Such articles of luggage can conveniently be considered as comprising two major types, the first the so-called 'soft' suitcase and the second the so-called 'hard' suitcase.
- 'hard' suitcases are constructed from two or more thermoformed panels.
- the panels being made from materials that have enough inherent stiffness that can hold their intended shape in the absence of substantial framing, but whilst also being tough, resilient and hardwearing to knocks and bangs received in everyday useage.
- hard suitcase is often regarded as applying to those suitcases whose walls, top and bottom cannot be readily pierced by a blade or needle.
- 'soft' can be conveniently regarded as being applied to suitcases that employ a soft outer covering that is supported by an internal framework of metal or appropriate plastics material extending around the total periphery of the top and bottom of the associated suitcase base section in such manner as to define the visual form of the suit case.
- the provision of the towing handle facility in conjunction with wheels or rolls the user does not need to have to carry the suitcase. Furthermore in practice the use of the wheels /rolls greatly facilitates the general handling of a suitcase in locations such as in crowded airports. Whatever the actual construction of the 'hard' or 'soft' suitcases the provision of the towing handle facility has historically involved the provision of at least one pair of tubular members that are additional to the actual structure of the framework of the base section of the suitcase and which are telescopically engageable by the limbs of a U-shaped assembly serving as the actual towing handle.
- the present invention therefore seeks to provide a method of constructing an article of luggage, which overcomes, or at least reduces some of the above- mentioned problems of the prior art.
- the invention provides a shape defining framework structure, wherein the shape defining framework structure comprises two length defining members, wherein at one end of each length defining member a portion of a towing handle is telescopically incorporated and at the opposed end is located a wheel, wherein a substantial portion of the wheel is housed within the shape defining framework structure.
- the shape defining framework structure may be formed from a plurality of elongate members, wherein each elongate member is interconnected at their end regions to two other elongate members. Further preferably, wherein the plurality of elongate members further comprises four length, four width and four depth defining elongate members.
- the elongate members may be interconnected at their end regions by four sets of three-way connection pieces.
- one set of the three-way connection pieces may be formed such that a substantial portion of the wheels is housed within the shape defining framework structure.
- the wheels may be located at corners of the suitcase.
- This construction means that the wheels are less likely to be damaged in use, are aesthetically more pleasing, and improve the stability of the case. With reference to the latter benefit, this is because the case is much lower to the ground than prior art suitcase, and as such this lowers its centre of gravity, meaning it is less likely to topple over or spin around in use. Having the telescopic handle located in the same vertical plane as the wheel housing makes towing more stable. In conventional cases, the towing handle is more central and this leads to lateral pull on one or more wheels causing imbalance at times.
- the invention provides a shape defining framework structure, wherein the shape defining framework structure comprises a width defining elongate member; wherein the width defining elongate members further comprises a shape defining portion.
- the shape defining framework structure may be formed from a plurality of elongate members, wherein each elongate member is interconnected at their end regions to two other elongate members. Further preferably wherein the plurality of elongate members further comprises four length, four width and four depth defining elongate members.
- the elongate members may be interconnected at their end regions by four sets of three-way connection pieces.
- the elongate members may be interconnected at their end regions to the two other elongate members by two three way connection pieces.
- the shape defining portion is curved.
- one set of the three way connection pieces may be formed such that a substantial portion of the set of wheels is housed within the shape maintaining framework structure.
- the towing handle comprises a first pair of parallel limbs spaced apart by a cross piece to form a U-frame, the pair of parallel limbs being telescopically engagable with the two length defining tubular members.
- first pair of parallel limbs of the towing handle is telescopically displaceable from the two length defining tubular members between a retracted position and an expanded position.
- the towing handle comprises a second pair of parallel limbs being telescopically engagable with the first pair of parallel limbs of the towing handle.
- the towing handle comprises a second pair of parallel limbs being telescopically engagable with the first pair of parallel limbs of the towing handle.
- the towing handle comprises a second pair of parallel limbs being telescopically engagable with the first pair of parallel limbs of the towing handle.
- the towing handle comprises a second pair of parallel limbs being telescopically engagable with the first pair of parallel limbs of the towing handle.
- the towing handle comprises a second pair of parallel limbs being telescopically engagable with the first pair of parallel limbs of the towing handle.
- the towing handle comprises a second pair of parallel limbs being telescopically engagable with the first pair of parallel limbs of the towing handle.
- the invention provides a method of constructing an article of luggage comprising forming a shape defining framework structure comprising two length defining members, incorporating at one end of each length defining member a portion of a telescopic towing handle and at the opposed end locating a wheel, wherein a substantial portion of the wheel is housed within the shape defining structure.
- each elongate member may be interconnected at their end regions to two other elongate members.
- the plurality of elongate members further comprises four length, four width and four depth defining elongate members.
- the shape defining portion defines the shape of the suitcase across its width and/or wherein the shape defining portion is curved. Also preferably, further comprising locating the wheels at corners of the suitcase.
- the invention provides a method of constructing article of luggage comprising forming a shape defining framework structure, wherein the shape defining framework structure comprises a width defining elongate member; wherein the width defining elongate members further comprises a shape defining portion.
- each elongate member is interconnected at their end regions to two other elongate members.
- the plurality of elongate members further comprises four length, four width and four depth defining elongate members.
- the shape defining portion is curved and/or further comprising at least one wheel.
- a substantial portion of the wheel is housed within the shape maintaining framework structure.

- the lower rear connection piece 9 is utilised to provide at the lower end of the main body of the suitcase thereof, a connection between the wheels 10 and the base of the suitcase.
- Figure 4 this schematically illustrates one of the two wheels 10 which is secured to one of the wheel housings 1 1 , which is turn connected to one of the two lower rear connection pieces 9 by any convenient means such as by pinning, or by using screws.
- Both the wheel housing 1 1 and the wheel connection piece 9 are curved such that a substantial portion of the wheel is effectively housed within the body of the suitcase itself. Alternatively it could be said that the centre of the wheel is in line both with the rear and base of the suitcase, as well as the telescopic towing handle.
- this construction means that the wheels are less likely to be damaged in use, are aesthetically more pleasing, and improve the stability of the case. With reference to the latter benefit, this is because the case is much lower to the ground than prior art suitcase, and as such this lowers its centre of gravity, meaning it is less likely to topple over or spin around in use. Having the telescopic handle located in the same vertical plane as the wheel housing 1 1 makes towing more stable. In conventional cases, the towing handle is more central and this leads to lateral pull on one or more wheels causing imbalance at times.
- each lower rear connection piece 9 has three varying aperture tubular portions that connect to each of the three elongate members 6, 18 & 21 and which form the framework of the suitcase.
- the shape defining member 15 also connects to the lower rear connection piece 9 at each of its ends.
- Each lower front connection piece 12 is also formed with three varying aperture tubular portions that each engage with one of three elongate members 13, 18, 21 . It will be noted from the Figures 1 and 2 that the front framework portion 17 has rounded/curved corner regions with the result that the connection pieces 12 that interconnect the elongate members 13, 18, 21 include left hand and right hand arrangements. In addition since such front lower connection pieces 12 are utilised to mount support feet 14 for the suitcase case, the lower connection pieces 12 are additionally formed so as to be able to mount the feet 14. The feet 14 can be secured to the associated connection piece 12 in any convenient manner such as by using rivets or screws.
- the various components of the framework structure 20, the towing assembly 19, the wheel assemblies and the feet 14 can be formed from any material(s) considered appropriate namely materials that are of adequate strength in conjunction with lightness of weight.
- the components may be formed from a composite material such as fibre glass/carbon fibre or a plastics material such as NylonTM
