Definitions

the invention relates to a suitcase with rollers arranged at one end of its base and a handle arranged for handling it when moving on rollers diagonally opposite to these on the upper region of the vertical narrow side of a shell of the case, which can be folded into the shell in the storage position and when moving the case as a handle can be folded away from the wall to the front.
handlebars are available, which can either be pulled out from the top of the case or with a hinge in a diagonally opposite direction to the wheels hinged corner area of the case, can be folded out from a vertically folded down position into an approximately perpendicularly projecting position from the front narrow side of the case for handling when moving on wheels.
the invention has for its object to provide a case with rollers arranged at one end of its base and a handle arranged for its handling when moving on rollers, this handle being comfortable and ergonomically convenient in the hand, a safe guidance of the case to enable tilting caused by uneven floors, and which despite a necessary shape, which differs significantly from the shape of a handle bar, does not protrude beyond the case surface when folded down, thereby damaging the handle itself and in the case of stacking many cases, such as for example in the hold of an aircraft, also avoids damage to adjacent suitcases.
a case with casters arranged at one end of its base and a handle arranged for its handling when moving on wheels diagonally opposite to these is arranged on the upper region of the vertical narrow side of a shell of the case, which can be folded against the shell in the rest position and when moving the case as a handle can be folded away from the wall to the front
the handle has a closed bracket corresponding in its internal width to the width of a hand with a foot part arranged pivotably in a hinge
the handle is arranged in a depression surrounding it and is flush with the plane xx of the case shell in the folded position
the bracket is attached off-center to the foot part hinged to one of the two case shells and covers yy surface parts of the case shells transversely to the parting plane, and - That a portion of the recess surrounding the handle is available in both case shells.
the handle is designed with a closed bracket, which corresponds to the width of one hand in its clear width, which enables ergonomic and safe handling of the case, even in difficult ground conditions.
the advantageous design of the handle which is optimally adapted to the anatomy of the hand, makes it much easier for weaker people to pull the case and considerably prevents premature hand fatigue.
the case's center of gravity in contrast to the known arrangement of a handle bar, is in the area of the handle bar, which results in a much more stable Location and easier handling even with fluctuations in the case results.
the case 30 according to FIG. 1 consists of the two case shells 6 and 7. These are reinforced at their free edges with profile strips 19 and 20, preferably made of aluminum.
On the top 31 is a handle 32 and locks 29,29 twisted are arranged in the usual way.
the case 30 has corner caps 28.
a pair of rollers 26 is provided at one end 27 of the base in a manner known per se. As is known, this serves to move the case over the floor in the diagonally raised position, as shown, with the aid of the handle 1 which has been unfolded for this purpose.
the handle 1 has a closed bracket 2 with a clear width W corresponding to the width of a hand, with a foot part 3 arranged pivotably in a hinge 4.
the handle 1 is arranged in a recess 5 that surrounds it locally and is flush with the plane x-x of the case shell 6 or 7 in the folded position.
an essential aspect of the invention looks design that the bracket 2 is attached off-center to the foot part 3 articulated on one of the two case shells 6 or 7 and covers surface parts 8 and 9 of the case shells 6 and 7 transverse to the parting plane yy.
a partial region 10 or 11 of the recess 5 surrounding the handle is present in both case shells 6 and 7.
the recess 5 viewed in plan view (see FIGS. 3 and 4), is designed in the form of the projection of the handle 1 folded in, plus a circumferential free space 12 of a peripheral strip that is between 10 and 20 mm wide .
each partial area 10 or 11 of the recess 5 can consist of a shaped piece 13 or 14 corresponding to the size of the partial area 10 or 11, which is inserted into a compatible recess 15 or 16 a case shell 6 or 7 is used.
the stirrup 2 and the foot part 3 are arranged and designed so that they are offset such that the stirrup 2 is at least a third of its width B from the flat part 8 of the case shell 6 to which the foot part 3 is articulated , protrudes beyond the parting plane yy of the two case shells 6, 7 into a surface part 9 of the case shell 7.
this ensures that when the case 30 is handled with the bracket, its center of gravity lies within the bracket, which makes it much easier to maintain balance when pulling over uneven ground.
the bracket 2 and the foot part 3 are advantageously produced as a one-piece plastic part. It is further provided that the hinge 4 receiving the foot part 3 is formed in a sheet metal part 18 connected to the case shell 6 at the base of the surface part 8 of the recess 5.
This sheet metal part can be made rectangular with a circumferentially raised edge by pulling from a circuit board at a comparatively low cost. Wedge-shaped elements 32 are then punched out of the bottom of the molded part 18 and, in the manner of nails, are driven away from the bottom through the material of the case shell 6 and folded over on the inside of the case shell 6 for attachment to the outside.
the profile strips 19 and 20, preferably made of aluminum, are attached to the free edges of the case shells 6 and 7, respectively, in the area the depression 5 is deformed with loop-shaped bends 21 or 22 (FIG. 5).
the bracket 2 is advantageously designed in the form of a closed rectangle, the end 23 of which, opposite the foot part 3, has a grip web 25 which is ergonomically designed with a central thickening 24 and is somewhat curved in the longitudinal direction, as is also the case, for example 3 can be seen.
