suitcase

The invention relates to a case for car luggage carriers with a handle.

It is known to accommodate additional luggage to use a conventional suitcase or suitcase-like devices for a car luggage carrier.

takes up with the interposition of a seal. It is then possible to use a carrying handle consisting of a U-shaped bracket, whose legs are releasably attached to the narrow sides of the extension. One leg of the bracket can be moved be articulated and provided with a longitudinal slot for engaging over fastening catches arranged on the container. In the end it has proven to be useful to arrange buffers under the bar of the bracket, which the panel of the drawer in press in the opening of the container.

A suitcase designed according to the invention is thus placed on the luggage rack attached so that its closed bottom is facing the wind and its opening points to the rear, so that dirt and rain slide off the outer wall and cannot penetrate into the opening. If the dimensions of the container are not too big, it can also be used as a normal suitcase.

Further details, features and advantages of the subject matter of the invention emerge from the following description of the Associated drawings in which a preferred embodiment of a suitcase designed according to the invention is shown schematically is. In the drawings show:

FIG. 1 shows a suitcase cut along the line I-I in FIG in side view;

Fig. 7 shows a leg of the handle in view.

In a prismatic container 1 with an opening 2 is a Drawer 3 slidably arranged. The container 1 consists of a flat top 4, a flat bottom 5, and flat side walls 6 and 7 and one provided with a rounding 8 Bottom 9. The outer dimensions of the drawer 3 are adapted to the inner dimensions of the container 1 and are at the top open minded.

Around its opening 2, the container 1 has an enlargement 10 which forms an open fold 11 on the inside which can accommodate a panel 12 of the drawer 3. In this way , the drawer 3 is arranged sunk in the opening 2 of the container 1 in the completely pushed-in state.

On the narrow sides of the extension 10, fastening catches 13 are arranged for hanging a carrying handle 14, which consists of a U-shaped bracket 15 with a movably articulated limb . In the leg 16, a longitudinal slot I7 is provided for engaging over the fastening catch I3. A hinged lock is used to secure the handle 14 on the container 1 against unauthorized opening.

So that the drawer 3 is held in the container 1 in a vibration- proof manner, buffers I9 are arranged between the bracket I5 and the panel 12 and consist of an elastic piston 20 and a spring 22 arranged in a cup-shaped housing 21. The buffers I9 are

captively guided on supports 27) attached to the bracket I5.

On the outside of the rounding 8 of the base 9, ribs 24 are arranged at a distance from one another so that the container 1 is on its base 9 can stand without falling over.

After the drawn-out drawer 3 has been filled, it is pushed into the container 1 and its panel 12 is pressed against a seal 25 in a dirt and water-tight manner. The handle 14 and its fastening elements are arranged in a protected manner in the extension 10 of the container 1. When the container 1 is attached to a luggage carrier with its bottom 9 pointing in the direction of travel, the airflow, dirt and rain cannot penetrate into the drawer 3. The container 1 and the drawer J> are each made in one piece and expediently consist of a dimensionally stable, self-supporting material, for example plastic or aluminum.

All mentioned in the description and shown in the drawing New features are essential to the invention, even if they are not expressly claimed in the claims are.
