Description

  The present invention relates to a frameless suitcase used for traveling and the like, and more particularly to a suitcase with improved strength and safety (prevention of stolen items).

  In recent years, suitcases have been abolished the frame provided around the mating part of the lid side shell and the body side shell, and replaced the zipper instead of the shutter lock for sealing the lid side shell and the body side shell that has been abolished. A zipper type, which is provided at the joint between the lid-side shell and the body-side shell and seals the lid-side shell and the body-side shell with the zipper, is the mainstream of suitcases.

  This zipper-type suitcase has excellent handleability because it can be made lighter than the conventional one, but if the meshing part of the closed element of the zipper is strongly pressed by the sharp tip of the tool etc. There was a serious drawback that the parts were disengaged and the suitcase was opened.

JP 2011-15775 A

  The object of the present invention is to open the element portion so that even if the meshed portion of the closed element of the zipper is strongly pressed by the sharp tip of the tool or the like, the mutual meshing of the element is not released in a short time. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a suitcase capable of making the theft of the contents in the suitcase equal to zero.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, a suitcase according to the present invention is a type of suitcase in which a lid-side shell and a body-side shell are sealed with a zipper, and when the elements of the zipper are engaged with each other, A hard member is characterized in that it is juxtaposed to the meshing portion adjacent to the meshing portion facing the inner side of the suitcase of the zipper element.

The lid-side shell and the body-side shell, which are the main body of the suitcase, are connected by an opening / closing means such as a hinge, and the zipper tape portion is attached to the opening edge or the vicinity of the opening edge of the lid-side shell and the body-side shell.
Moreover, you may attach the tape part of a zipper through a soft synthetic resin member to each opening edge of a lid side shell and a body side shell thru | or the opening edge vicinity.

  When the zipper elements are engaged with each other, that is, when the lid-side shell and the body-side shell are closed, for example, in the proximity of the engagement portion facing the inner side of the suitcase of the element, for example, a plate It is comprised so that a shape-like hard member may be juxtaposed.

Specifically, the engagement portion that faces the inner side of the suitcase of the element by extending at least one edge of the lid-side shell and the body-side shell located on the inner side of the suitcase with respect to the zipper In addition, it is preferable that hard members be juxtaposed.
In one example, the dimension of the extended part of the edge is made substantially the same as the dimension of the zipper width (direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the slider).

  Further, the edge to be extended may extend one edge of the lid-side shell and the body-side shell according to the dimensions and shape of the suitcase, or both the lid-side shell and the body-side shell. You may extend the edge of.

  In addition, when extending both the edge parts of the lid-side shell and the body-side shell, they may be engaged so that the vicinity of the end parts of the respective extension parts overlap each other, and the end surfaces of the respective extension parts are elements. You may engage so that it may contact | abut in the position which avoided the direct under of the meshing site | part.

  Furthermore, you may make it engage with the recessed part formed in one edge part of each extension part so that the other edge part vicinity may fit.

  However, instead of installing a rigid member by extending the edge of at least one of the lid-side shell and the body-side shell, the rigid member is formed separately, You may make it attach to the edge part of at least one of the body side shells by a suitable fixing means.

  The degree of proximity between the hard member and the engaging portion of the zipper element is greatly deflected in the pressing direction when the engaging portion is pressed from the outside of the suitcase when the zipper elements are engaged with each other. The hard member may be disposed at a position where there is no contact, but desirably it is disposed at a position where the hard member and the meshing portion of the element come into contact with each other.

  In order to improve security, at least the element outside the suitcase of the zipper may be covered with a covering member formed of cloth or soft synthetic resin.

  According to the suitcase of the present invention, since the meshing portion of the closed element of the zipper is supported from the inside of the suitcase by the extended portion of the suitcase, the sharpness of the meshing portion of the element in a tool or the like Even when strongly pressed at the tip, the extended portion serves as a pedestal and firmly supports the meshing portion, so that the meshing of the elements cannot be released or broken in a short time.

  In other words, since the meshing portion of the element does not bend greatly inward of the suitcase, the meshing portion caused by the bending can be prevented from being broken, and therefore, the meshing portion of the element cannot be released (destructed) in a short time. Therefore, the thief can give up the release of the meshing portion, and the theft of the contents in the suitcase due to the opening of the element portion can be made equal to zero.

  Also, if at least the elements on the outside of the zipper case are covered with a covering member made of cloth or soft synthetic resin, a frame is used to determine whether the sealing means for the lid side shell and the body side shell is a zipper type. Since it is not known at a glance whether the shutter lock type has, it is possible to remarkably reduce the target of the thief.

The perspective view which shows an example of the suitcase which concerns on this invention. The partial sectional view of the suitcase which omitted interior material. The partial sectional view of the suitcase which omitted interior material. The partially expanded sectional view of the suitcase which abbreviate | omitted the interior material. The partial perspective sectional view of the suitcase which omitted interior material.

  Hereinafter, an example of a suitcase according to the present invention will be described based on specific examples shown in the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the suitcase 1 has a lid-side shell 2 and a body-side shell 3 which are main bodies of the suitcase 1 connected by an opening / closing means such as a hinge (not shown). The body shell 3 can be closed or opened by a zipper 4 provided in the vicinity of each opening edge or opening edge.

When the lid-side shell 2 and the body-side shell 3 of FIG. 1 are opened, the edge 3 a of the body-side shell 3 passes the element 4 b of the zipper 4 attached to the body-side shell 3. The body shell 3 is configured so as to extend to the end.
In other words, the element 4b of the zipper 4 does not extend to the position of the edge 3a of the body shell 3 (see FIG. 2).

  As an example, the dimension projecting outward from the element 4b, that is, the dimension of the extension part 3b in the body shell 3 is substantially the same as the dimension of the width of the zipper 4 (direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the slider). .

  On the other hand, about the zipper 4 attached to the lid side shell 2, the tape 4a which has the element 4b of this zipper 4 is attached to the edge 2a of the lid side shell 2 (refer FIG. 2).

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the slider 4c of the zipper 4 is operated to engage the respective elements 4b of the lid-side shell 2 and the body-side shell 3 to close the lid-side shell 2 and the body-side shell 3, The meshing portion 4d of 4b is positioned closer to the extending portion 3b on the inner side than the edge portion 3a of the body side shell 3.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the suitcase according to the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the meshing portion 4d of the element 4b of the closed zipper 4 in the suitcase 1 is strongly pressed by a sharp tip of a tool or the like as indicated by an arrow A in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, the meshing portion 4d, the element 4b, and the tape 4a in the vicinity of the meshing portion 4d as the pressing portion start to bend and move in the pressing direction.

  Then, immediately after the bending movement, the meshing portion 4d facing the inner side of the suitcase 1 of the element 4b provided on the tape 4a comes into contact with the extending portion 3b of the body shell 3 (see FIG. 4B). See), the bending movement of the tape 4a is stopped together with the meshing portion 4d of the element 4b.

  By stopping the movement of the tape 4a together with the meshing portion 4d of the element 4b, the tape 4a attached to each of the lid-side shell 2 and the body-side shell 3 is greatly bent and moved inward of the suitcase 1, whereby the element Since the force acting in the direction of releasing the meshing of 4b can be lost, the meshing of the meshing portion 4d of the element 4b is maintained.

  Accordingly, it becomes impossible to release (break) the meshing portion 4d of the element 4b in a short time, so that the thief can give up the release of the meshing portion 4d, and the suitcase 1 by prying open the element 4b portion. The theft of contained items can be equal to zero.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the zipper 4 may be covered with a cover 5 made of cloth or soft synthetic resin.

  Reference numeral 6 in the drawings in the embodiment is a soft synthetic resin member provided between the zipper 4 and each shell (the lid-side shell 2 and the body-side shell 3), and reference numeral 7 is an interior for holding the contents. The material, 8 is a handle of the suitcase 1.
