Description

Shell cases, especially motorbike cases

The invention relates to a shell case made of a box-like lower part and a box-like cover, in particular a motorcycle case, in which the lower part and/ or the cover in the edge area of the ^open side can be changed in depth by means of folds that can be pulled out from the outside and the folds can be fixed in the folded position by means of a holding device.

Aa in the well-known shell cases of this type the lower part |

and the cover is made of non-compliant material, |

the folds allow an enlargement of the |

Case capacity. As DE-OS 30 06 843 shows, j

Shell suitcases are known in which the interior of the suitcase |

Painting tabs are attached to the folds in the |

folded position. The retaining tabs |

can be released on one side via snap fasteners, i

v. so that the folds are released to be pulled apart. |

Since the number of retaining tabs is limited, &igr;

the folds are not evenly distributed in the folded

Hold your position. This is not only visually unattractive, but when the shell case is designed as a motorcycle case,

Added to this is that the unevenly held folds = adversely affect the flow characteristics of the shell case.

It is the object of the invention to create a shell case of the type mentioned above, in which

•Position, i.e. with good flow characteristics, and can be easily released from this position to be pulled apart.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the holding device is designed as a zipper that runs around all four sides of the edge area and bridges the folds, which in its closed position holds the folds in the folded position and in the open position releases them for pulling them apart.

With the zipper, the folds can be closed on all sides

hold evenly in a defined position. To

To pull the folds apart, the zipper only needs to be opened.

The flow behavior is improved by the fact that the zipper is arranged on the outside of the folds and that the two zipper halves can be completely detached from each other in the open position, whereby the zipper slider remains held on one zipper half.

The separable zipper makes it easier to use and ensures that the depth of the case can be adjusted evenly on all sides.

According to a preferred embodiment, the lower part ends in a reinforced or offset edge, the folds are connected to one end fold and one half of the zipper is connected to this edge, and the folds are connected to the other end fold and the other half of the zipper are attached to a closure frame. The change in the storage volume is thus limited to the lower part and the lid has a purely closure function.

The opening of the Scha Lehkof Ifer is achieved by the closure frame being connected to an edge of the lid by means of an opening zipper running over three sides, while the fourth side, preferably a long side, of the closure frame of the lower part is connected to the edge of the lid in a "charrier-like manner. It is provided that one half of the zipper is connected to the closing frame of the lower part and the other half of the zipper of the opening closure is connected to the edge of the lid.

The invention is explained in more detail using an embodiment shown in the drawing. It shows

Fig. 1 a closed shell case, in which

the box-like bottom part with folds in the edge area

which are in the folded position, and

Fig. 2 is a partial view showing the Scha Lenkoffer with f released, pulled apart folds.

The shell case according to the embodiment is designed as a motorcycle case. The box-like lower part 10 has on the outside of the base the quick-release fastener ₁₁ and the holding elements 12 and 13 with which the shell case can be attached and locked to a bracket on the motorcycle.

The box-like lower part 10 runs into the stepped edge 15 on the open side. The box-like lid 14 runs into the edge 25. The zipper 26 extends

is on four sides and is divisible/ whereby the zipper slider remains held on one half of the zipper 16 or 22. This zipper 26 bridges the three folds 18, 19 and 20 so that the storage volume of the hard case essentially by the box-like

( ) shows.

One zipper half 16 with the row of teeth 17 is

Î attached to the edge 15 of the lower part 10, to which the end fold 18 of the three folds 18, 19 and 20 is also attached* The zipper half 22 with the row of teeth 21 is attached to a closure frame which is covered by the zipper half 22. If the zipper 26 is opened, the storage space of the shell case can be enlarged by pulling the folds 18, 19 and 20 apart, as shown in Fig. 2.

The opening zipper 23 extends over only two sides, with one zipper half being connected to the closure frame of the lower part 10 and the other zipper half 24 being attached to the edge 25 of the lid 14. One long side of the edge 25 of the lid 14 is directly connected in a hinge-like manner to the closure frame of the lower part 10, whereby a hinge strip or individual hinges can be used.
