Definitions

  • the invention relates to a suitcase according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • Such cases which use, for example, plates made of aluminum or aluminum-clad wooden plates and are then known under the term aluminum case, are used, for example, to accommodate high-quality devices such as photographic or video equipment.
  • high-quality devices such as photographic or video equipment.
  • the softer carrier bags which are also available, they are primarily intended to provide robust protection for the high-quality and expensive devices.
  • Such cases have three levels in which the profile strips run, which form a frame for the individual plates. These levels are formed on the one hand by the two outer profiles, which run around the bottom or lid of the case as the top or bottom of the three levels, and by two middle profiles, which form the middle level and together when the case is closed adjoin others.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the stability of a generic case.
  • This configuration achieves a much greater stability of the case than when using four individual profile sections to form a middle profile, the four individual profile sections being connected to one another by edge reinforcements.
  • the one-piece circumferential center profile with rounded edges is also more stable than a one-piece circumferential center profile, in which the edges are angular, because with this strong deformation the material of the center profile is structurally heavily loaded and accordingly has little load reserve.
  • profile strips of the central profiles typically have a certain thickness, so that this profile strips can not be bent readily through 90 o.
  • a recess is provided towards the inside of the case, so that the profile material is reduced to a minimum in the area of the later kink and can be bent at this point. This measure, however, further weakens the profile in the corner area.
  • the eight case corners can be advantageous to form the eight case corners from special molded parts, which fix the outer profiles and the vertical profile strips with the help of tenon joints and thereby ensure good stability and a secure fit of the individual profile elements on the case corner.
  • the stability, in particular of the longer profile parts, namely the outer profiles, is supported by the fact that such a case corner covers these outer profiles to a certain extent.
  • Caps which are inserted into the inside of the eight case corners, offer an advantageous appearance and, in particular, good cleaning options, so that there are no badly accessible edges or hollows where profile elements meet.
  • the stability of the entire case can be increased by gluing the individual components of the case together.
  • Fig. 1 it can be seen that the case consists of individual straight plates, namely a cover plate 1, which is assigned a similar but not shown bottom plate opposite. Furthermore, from a front plate 2, which has an upper section 2a and a lower section 2b and to which similar back plates are assigned. Finally, the case has two side plates 3, one of which is shown, the upper section of which is labeled 3a and the lower section of which is labeled 3b.
  • the plates 1, 2 and 3 of the case are connected to one another by profiled strips, with outer profiles 4 each adjoining the cover plate 1 and the base plate (not shown), while in the middle of the case two middle profiles 5 abut one another, which surround the two half-shells of the case.
  • case corners 7 which are designed as one-piece plastic molded parts and which partially cover the elements of the outer profile 4.
  • case corners 7 upward or downward facing crooks 8 are formed, the cams 8 each extending only over half of the top and bottom of a case corner 7. Due to this design and due to the different orientation of the cams 8 on the upward or downward-facing case corners 7, a stackability of several suitcases is effected one above the other, in which the cams 8 of different suitcases make it more difficult or impossible for the individual suitcases to slide over one another.
  • FIG. 1 An edge of the case of FIG. 1 is designated in more detail in FIG. 2, the base plate and the lower sections 2a of the front plate 2 and 3a of the side plate 3 not being shown.
  • the vertical profile bar 6 forms the edge of the case and receives at its upper end a one-piece insert 9, which in turn defines the rounded area of the central profile 5.
  • This rounded area of the central profile 5 has a recess so that only the outward-facing wall remains of the essentially H-shaped profile cross-section in the area of the case edge.
  • the insert 9 fills out the removed cross-sectional part of the central profile 5 and also fixes the two ends, at which the cross-section is still H-shaped, by means of a pin connection, so that, in this edge region, the stability of the profile bar forming the central profile 5 is scarcely is reduced or impaired.
  • pins 10 and 11 with which the insert 9 extends into the central profile 5 and into the vertical profile strip 6, can be clearly seen.
  • the pin 11 is formed in three parts, on the one hand, in the middle channel and on the other hand to be able to extend into the two outer grooves of the profile bar 6.
  • the case corner 7 has pins which are similar to the pins 11 of the insert 9 and also serve to fix the vertical profile bar 6. Furthermore, the case corner 7 has pins 12 on which the elements of the outer profile 4 are inserted. To increase the stability, these pins 12 are arranged at a distance from an outer surface 14 of the case corner 7, so that the outer profiles 4 are not only fixed on the pin 12, but also between the pin 12 and the outer surface 14. This arrangement makes the optical Appearance improved in that an always clean and seamless connection of the outer profiles 4 to the case corners 7 is achieved.
  • this trough is covered by a cap 15, so that, as can be seen particularly from FIG. 2, a flush closure and connection of the individual profile elements in the area of the case corner 7 is reached.
  • the case shown and described gives the continuous center profile 5 a very good stability, which can be further increased by the fact that the pins 10, 11 and 12 are dimensioned so that they fix the associated profile elements slightly clamping, so that thereby a secure bond of individual frame parts is effected with each other.
  • the plates 1, 2 and 3 defined later in the frame further increase the stability of the case.
  • the individual frame parts can be glued to one another or to the plates, which brings about a further gain in stability, particularly in the case of larger suitcases.
  • the case as a whole (FIG. 1) appears flatter and less bulbous than a case with the same dimensions solutions, but round outer profiles.
