Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a frame for a flexible suitcase and flexible suitcases using such a frame.
  • Known flexible suitcases use a support frame on which is stretched a flexible envelope of canvas, fabric, leather, etc.
  • the frames of these known suitcases are made of metal, such as steel or aluminum or magnesium alloy, plywood, cardboard, synthetic material, etc. They are interrupted or continuous and may contain different materials connected to each other in various ways.
  • Interrupted frames do not have sufficient mechanical strength and the manufacture of continuous frames requires assembly operations by welding, gluing or riveting which are long and expensive and often create weak points of connection.
  • the interior of the suitcase must be lined with a lining to hide the frame because their production technique does not allow a satisfactory finish to be obtained.
  • the weight of this known baggage is excessive and the fixing of accessories, such as wheels, handles, feet, is very delicate and requires recovery operations by creating new points of weakness.
  • the present invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks of known flexible frames and suitcases thanks to a new easy and economical manufacturing frame, of high mechanical strength, making it possible to integrate the supports of the accessories while facilitating the mounting of these accessories and the envelope without the need for interior lining.
  • the frame for a flexible suitcase according to the invention is characterized in that it is constituted by a closed one-piece molded piece with a substantially rectangular longitudinal section, with an upper edge and a lower edge connected by two lateral edges, a continuous groove open towards the outside and accessories supports coming from molding with said part.
  • the frame shown in the drawing by way of nonlimiting example consists of a single piece by pressure molding of a synthetic material having good mechanical qualities associated with optimal weight, good molding capacity and an advantageous price.
  • a synthetic material can for example be a polyamide, polypropylene, a polyester, loaded or not.
  • the frame 1 has a substantially rectangular longitudinal section forming an upper edge A and a lower edge B connected by lateral edges C and D, these edges being of generally rectilinear cross section with a continuous groove 2 ensuring general stiffening of the frame.
  • the groove 2, in the example described, is symmetrical with respect to a mean plane which is also a plane of symmetry of the frame 1.
  • the lateral edge D has upper 3 and lower recesses 4 providing a narrowed central strip 5 around the groove 2.
  • the lateral edge C has upper 6 and lower recesses 7 providing a narrowed central strip 8 around the groove 2.
  • the upper recesses 6 of the edge C are however formed lower than the upper recesses 3 of the edge D and leave an upper area 9 of greater width remaining on this edge C.
  • a recess 10 of generally rectangular shape and the bottom of which is pierced with holes 10 ′ for fixing a handle, for example a tilting handle (not shown) housed at rest in the recess 10.
  • the various recesses have rounded shapes avoiding the beginnings of rupture of the frame 1.
  • the lateral edge D comprises, at its lower part, two shells 11 intended to receive rollers and connected by a stiffening rib 12.
  • the rollers can be mounted directly or by means of supports fixed in the shells.
  • the formation of the shells 11 and of the rib 12 ensures excellent stiffening of the connection angle 13 between the edges D and B of the frame 1, this angle 13 supporting the weight of the bag and its contents when the bag is rolling using the tilting handle.
  • Sockets 14 are used for fixing the rollers.
  • the lower edge B of the frame has pairs of holes 15 and 16 symmetrical respectively with respect to the plane of symmetry and which are used for fixing the feet. Additional holes 17 can be provided, for example, in the bottom of the groove 2, for additional fixing of the envelope which will already be connected to the frame 1 by fixing the various accessories.
  • the upper edge A comprises pairs of sockets 18 and 19 intended to receive screws or rivets for fixing a handle.
  • the sockets 18 and 19, which are formed in the groove 2 are surrounded on both sides, transversely, by stiffening ribs 20 and 21 respectively, and are connected by a central rib 22, the assembly ensuring excellent resistance mechanical when the suitcase is held by its handle.
