Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adjusting device for a container, in particular a case with a variable volume, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a shell case with a variable volume which has a zipper running around all four sides of the edge area of the case, with the zipper also running around all four sides of the edge area Folds are formed such that the zipper holds the folds in the folded position in its closed position and releases the folds for pulling apart in its open position. It is thereby achieved that the case has a smaller volume in the closed position of the zipper than in the open position.
  • a problem with such an arrangement is that the center of gravity of the packed case with the large volume is at a different location than the center of gravity of the packed case with the small volume. In other words, as the depth of the case increases, this focus shifts outward as the volume of the case increases. This has a negative impact on the stability of the case.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to improve a container as mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be adapted to the shift in the center of gravity caused by the change in volume.
  • the main advantage of the invention is that by the proposed adjustment of the distance Case rollers of a pair of rollers from one another in the direction of the depth of the case can be adapted to the shift in the center of gravity that occurs when the volume changes.
  • the roller distance mentioned is dimensioned such that the case stands securely when it has a smaller volume.
  • the center of gravity of the case is shifted outwards so that it can tilt easily.
  • the invention took this problem into account for the first time in that the spacing of the rollers from one another in the transverse direction can be changed by an adjusting device, so that the stability of the case is given even with an increase in volume (with an then increased roller spacing).
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment is one in which the adjusting device is in the form of a plate which can be displaced in the transverse direction of the case in a rail fastened to the bottom wall of the case, one roller of a pair of rollers being attached to the rail and the other roller of the pair of rollers being attached to the plate .
  • two or more grid points can be provided on the plate and the rail in the transverse direction.
  • the adjusting device can also be formed by telescopic tubes running in the transverse direction, one roller being attached to the extendable tube and the other roller being attached to the other tube.
  • the telescopic pipes mentioned can also be provided with grid points.
  • the adjustment device is preferably designed so that the wheel of a pair of rollers is adjustable on the side on which the volume of the case can be increased to the outside. If the volume of the case can be increased on both sides, both wheels of a pair of rollers can be adjusted outwards.
  • the present adjustment devices are preferably provided both on the front suitcase castors and on the rear suitcase castors.
  • a case is designated by the reference numeral 1.
  • the suitcase rollers 4 and 5 form a rear pair of suitcase rollers
  • the suitcase rollers 6 and 7 form a pair of front suitcase rollers.
  • the volume of the case can be increased in a manner known per se by changing the depth of the case in the direction of arrow 3. For example, this can be accomplished in that, according to DE-GM 88 11 688, a zipper 8 'is provided which runs around all four sides of the edge region and which can bridge folds in its closed position and hold together over all four sides of the edge region of the case, while holding it releases these folds in its open position for pulling apart.
  • this area 8 in which the case can be enlarged or reduced in the direction of its depth (arrow 3), is preferably on the back side, ie on the side facing away from the lid of the case 1.
  • 1 shows the case 1 in its state in which it has the smallest possible volume, ie in which its dimension in the transverse direction is the smallest. In this state, the front rollers 6 and 7 and / or the rear rollers 4 and 5 are at a distance D1 from one another in the axial direction.
  • the area 8 in the transverse direction (arrow 3 in FIG. 1) can be enlarged such that the total volume of the case 1 is increased.
  • Adjustment device 9 for the rear rollers 4 and 5 and / or an adjustment device 10 for the front rollers 6 and 7 is provided, by means of which the distance D1 can be increased to adapt to an increase in volume of the case 1, so that the distance between the rear rollers 4 and 5 and / or the front rollers 6 and 7 is D2, where D2> D1.
  • the center of gravity S1 which the packed suitcase takes up when it has its small volume, shifts outward in the transverse direction to the center of gravity S2.
  • an adjusting device 9 for the rear rollers 4, 5 and / or an adjusting device 10 for the front rollers 6, 7 is provided, by means of which the distance D1 between the front and rear rollers can be increased when the volume is increased, so that the shift of the center of gravity from S1 to S2 can be compensated. This has the consequence that the case with the large volume is also stable on the rollers 4, 5, 6 and 7 after this increase in distance.
  • the area 8 also at another point in the depth of the case 1, for example approximately in can be provided in the middle or on the side of the case opposite the area 8 shown.
  • such an adjustment device has a rail 11 fastened to the bottom wall 2, in which a plate 12 or the like is slidably held in the transverse direction of the case 1.
  • a plate 12 or the like is slidably held in the transverse direction of the case 1.
  • an upper plate part 13 is connected via wall parts 14, which extend vertically downward from it and run approximately parallel to the plate part 13, which engage under the plate 12 on both sides and thus hold it in the rail 11.
  • the roller 4 or 6 is fastened with the aid of suitable holding devices 16, 16 '.
  • the distance between the rear rollers 4 and 5 or the front rollers 6 and 7 can be optionally increased or decreased, since the roller 5 and 7 on the Rail 11 or on the bottom 2 of the case 1 is attached.
  • locking means can be provided in the transverse direction on the rail 11 and the plate 12, which, according to FIG. 6, consists, for example, of warts 17 '' of the rail 11 which engage in recesses 17 'of the plate 12 can exist. It is also conceivable to provide the warts 17 ′′ on the plate 12 and the depressions 17 ′ on the rail 11.
  • the rail 11 and the plate 12 can be replaced by tubes 18 and 19 which can be telescoped in the transverse direction the roller 4 or 6 is fastened with the aid of suitable fastening devices 20, 20 '.
  • the roller 5 or 7 is attached to the tube 18 or to the bottom wall 2.
  • the tubes 18 and 19 can also be provided, for example, with the depressions 17 'and the warts 17' '(FIG. 5).
  • the adjusting device can also be formed by an arm 21 which can be pivoted about a pivot point 22, which is located, for example, on the axis common to the axes of rotation of the rollers 4 and 5 or 6 and 7. At the end of the arm 21 facing away from the pivot point 22, the rollers 4 and 6 are fastened with holding devices 23, 23 '.
  • the arm 21 is pivotable between a first position I and a second position II, wherein in the first position I the axis of the roller 4 or 6 is arranged or rotatable coaxially to the axis of the roller 5 or 7, such that the distance between the rollers 4 and 5 or 6 and 7 D1, and wherein in the second position II the axis of the roller 4 or 6 is also coaxial to the axis of the Roller 5 or 7 is arranged or rotatable, so that the distance between the rollers 4 and 5 or 6 and 7 is D2.
  • the arm 21 can be provided with suitable locking devices.
  • rollers shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 can be rotated about their vertical axes in order to achieve better steerability. This applies in particular to the pair of rollers provided on the side of the case 1, on which a pulling device is provided.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment is one in which the adjusting device is designed such that the distance between the rollers of a pair of rollers is automatically adjusted when the volume changes.
  • the adjusting device is designed such that the distance between the rollers of a pair of rollers is automatically adjusted when the volume changes.
  • the plate 12 or the tube 19 need only be connected to a location which is outside the area 8 on the side facing away from the roller 4 or 6 connected to the rail 11 or the tube 19 or the bottom wall 2.
