Description

スーツケースsuitcase
 本発明は、建物内の床面や道路面などの上を人間が手で引っ張りながら移動させることのできるスーツケースに関する。 The present invention relates to a suitcase that can be moved while being pulled by a human hand on a floor surface or road surface in a building.
 人間が手で持ち上げた状態のままで移動させるタイプのスーツケースは使用者の肉体的負担が大きいので、近年、走行車輪を備えたスーツケースが数多く出回っている。しかしながら、従来の車輪付きのスーツケースは、スーツケース本体のサイズに比べ、車輪の外径が小さいので、階段の上り下りや段差の大きい場所を通過するのが困難である。 ¡Suitcases that are moved by humans while being lifted by hand have a heavy physical burden on the user, and in recent years, many suitcases with traveling wheels have been on the market. However, a conventional suitcase with wheels has a smaller outer diameter of the wheels compared to the size of the suitcase body, and therefore it is difficult to go up and down stairs or pass through a place with a large step.
 このような問題を解決するため、従来の車輪よりも外径の大きな車輪を備えたスーツケースが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1,2参照)。特許文献1記載のスーツケースは、従来の車輪よりも外径の大きな車輪の両側面に収納函を備えたものである。また、特許文献2記載のスーツケースは、収納函の両側面にそれぞれ外径の大きな車輪を備えたものである。 In order to solve such a problem, a suitcase having a wheel having a larger outer diameter than a conventional wheel has been proposed (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2). The suitcase described in Patent Document 1 is provided with storage boxes on both side surfaces of a wheel having a larger outer diameter than a conventional wheel. Moreover, the suitcase described in Patent Document 2 includes wheels having large outer diameters on both side surfaces of the storage box.
 特許文献1,2に記載されたスーツケースは、階段の高さより大きな外径を有する車輪を備えているので、階段の上り下りは容易化されることが推測できる。しかしながら、特許文献1の図1~図3に記載された1車輪方式のスーツケースは移動中の安定性に欠ける面がある。 Since the suitcases described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are provided with wheels having an outer diameter larger than the height of the stairs, it can be assumed that the stairs are easily moved up and down. However, the one-wheel-type suitcase described in FIGS. 1 to 3 of Patent Document 1 has a lack of stability during movement.
 一方、特許文献1の図4~図6に記載されたスーツケースあるいは特許文献2に記載されたスーツケースは収納函の両側面に車輪が設けられているので、安定性は向上しているが、直径の大きな2つの車輪が収納函の両側面に存在していることにより、スーツケース自体の重量増大や肥大化を招いている。 On the other hand, the suitcase described in FIGS. 4 to 6 of Patent Document 1 or the suitcase described in Patent Document 2 is provided with wheels on both side surfaces of the storage box, so that stability is improved. Since the two wheels having large diameters are present on both side surfaces of the storage box, the weight of the suitcase itself is increased and enlarged.
 そこで、図31に示すような、丸型のスーツケース700が提案されている。図31に示すスーツケース700は、「Samsonite社」の「Samsonite OBAG」と称されるものである。 Therefore, a round suitcase 700 as shown in FIG. 31 has been proposed. A suitcase 700 shown in FIG. 31 is called “SamsoniteonOBAG” of “Samsonite”.
 このスーツケース700は、短い円筒形状をした二つのケース本体701,702と、ケース本体701,702の間の隙間Gから突出状に設けられたキャリーハンドル703と、ケース本体701,702の外周にそれぞれの円周方向に沿って回転可能に設けられたリング状の回転体705,706と、を備えている。 The suitcase 700 includes two case bodies 701 and 702 each having a short cylindrical shape, a carry handle 703 projecting from a gap G between the case bodies 701 and 702, and outer circumferences of the case bodies 701 and 702. Ring-shaped rotating bodies 705 and 706 that are rotatably provided along the respective circumferential directions.
 また、スーツケース700を接地面上にて所定の起立姿勢に保持するための支持部材704が、ケース本体701,702の間の隙間Gから接地面に向かって出し入れ可能に設けられている。ケース本体701の外側面には、ケース本体701への物品出入口(図示せず)を開閉するための蓋体708と、蓋体708を開閉操作するための把持部709が設けられている。図示していないが、ケース本体701の外側面と同様、ケース本体702の外側面にも、ケース本体702への物品出入口を開閉するための蓋体と、蓋体を開閉操作するための把持部が設けられている。 Further, a support member 704 for holding the suitcase 700 in a predetermined standing posture on the ground surface is provided so as to be able to be taken in and out from the gap G between the case bodies 701 and 702 toward the ground surface. A cover body 708 for opening and closing an article entrance (not shown) to the case body 701 and a grip portion 709 for opening and closing the cover body 708 are provided on the outer surface of the case body 701. Although not shown, a lid for opening and closing an article entrance to the case main body 702 and a gripper for opening and closing the lid are also provided on the outer side of the case main body 702, as well as the outer side of the case main body 701. Is provided.
 スーツケース700を使用する場合、従来の車輪付きのスーツケースと同様、使用者がキャリーハンドル703のグリップ部707を片手で把持して、意図する方向へ歩行すれば、接地面に接地した状態にある二つの回転体705,706が、ケース本体701,702の周りで回転しながら、使用者の後についてくるので、スーツケース700を容易に移動させることができる。 When the suitcase 700 is used, as in the case of a conventional suitcase with wheels, if the user grips the grip portion 707 of the carry handle 703 with one hand and walks in the intended direction, the user touches the grounding surface. Since two rotating bodies 705 and 706 follow the user while rotating around the case main bodies 701 and 702, the suitcase 700 can be easily moved.
 スーツケース700は、特許文献1,2に記載されたスーツケースが具備する車輪よりも、外径の大きな回転体705,706がケース本体701,702の周りに設けられているので、特許文献1,2に記載されたスーツケースなどに比べ、階段や段差部分などの通過が容易である。また、回転体705,706はリング状であるため、スーツケースの重量増大や肥大化も、ある程度抑制することができると推測される。 Since the suitcase 700 is provided with rotating bodies 705 and 706 having larger outer diameters around the case bodies 701 and 702 than the wheels included in the suitcases described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, Patent Document 1 Compared with the suitcases described in (2) and (2), it is easy to pass stairs and steps. Moreover, since the rotary bodies 705 and 706 are ring-shaped, it is estimated that the weight increase and enlargement of a suitcase can be suppressed to some extent.

 前述したように、図31に示すスーツケース700は、従来の一般的な車輪付きのスーツケースあるいは特許文献1,2に記載されたスーツケースの車輪に比べると、外径の大きな回転体705,706を備えているので、階段や段差部分の上り下りは容易化され、走行時の騒音も軽減すると推測される。 As described above, the suitcase 700 shown in FIG. 31 has a rotating body 705 having a large outer diameter as compared with a conventional general suitcase with wheels or a suitcase wheel described in Patent Documents 1 and 2. Since it is provided with 706, it is presumed that going up and down stairs and steps will be facilitated and that noise during travel will be reduced.
 しかしながらが、二つのケース本体701,702の間の全周に亘って隙間Gが設けられ、この隙間Gにキャリーハンドル703の基端部(図示せず)が回動可能に配置されており、その占有スペースが大きいので、スーツケース700全体のサイズが大型であるのに比べ、ケース本体701,702内の物品収納スペースが狭いという問題がある。 However, a gap G is provided over the entire circumference between the two case bodies 701 and 702, and a base end portion (not shown) of the carry handle 703 is rotatably disposed in the gap G. Since the occupied space is large, there is a problem that the space for storing articles in the case main bodies 701 and 702 is narrow compared to the large size of the suitcase 700 as a whole.
 また、走行時の補助車輪付きスーツケースにおいては、階段や段差部分などを容易に通過できることや、スーツケース自体の軽量化や肥大化を抑制することなどは、従来のみならず今後も解決すべき重要な課題である。 In addition, in a suitcase with auxiliary wheels when traveling, the ability to easily pass through stairs and steps, etc., and to suppress the weight reduction and enlargement of the suitcase itself should be solved not only in the past but also in the future. This is an important issue.
 しかしながら、従来の補助車輪付きスーツケースは、階段や段差部分などの容易通過性や、スーツケース自体の軽量化や肥大化抑制などについて、満足できるレベルに到達していないのが実状である。 However, in reality, conventional suitcases with auxiliary wheels have not reached a satisfactory level in terms of easy passage through stairs and stepped parts, weight reduction of the suitcase itself, and suppression of enlargement.
 そこで、本発明が解決しようとする課題は、階段や段差部分などの通過が容易であり、スーツケース自体の重量増大及び肥大化を抑制しつつ比較的広い物品収納スペースを確保することが可能なスーツケースを提供することにある。 Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is that it is easy to pass through stairs and steps, and it is possible to secure a relatively large article storage space while suppressing an increase in weight and enlargement of the suitcase itself. To provide a suitcase.
