Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a suitcase, and more particularly to a suitcase in which both sides and the bottom of the case body can be integrally reinforced.

0002

[Background Art] Conventional suitcases of this type are disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-55361, Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-23601, Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-10202, Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-39766.
As shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-20896, slide fasteners are generally provided on one side or both sides of the case body, and the case body can be opened and closed on one side or both sides.

However, in these cases, it is not possible to open the case body widely at the center, so in some cases, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-43880, the case body is opened at approximately the center. There was also a technology that provided a slide fastener that allowed the case body to be opened widely from approximately the center.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the case of the former suitcase that has a slide fastener on one side or both sides of the case body so that it can be opened and closed on the side far from the center, the case body Since the rectangular frame can be arranged around the entire circumference of the case body and can be constructed by placing it in the center of the case body, the strength of the case body, especially the strength of both gussets, can be sufficiently reinforced. .

[0005] However, in a suitcase like the latter suitcase, which has a slide fastener in the center of the case body, the case body can be divided into two from the center and opened wide. , since it is difficult to arrange the rectangular frame as described above,
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 43880, a reinforcing panel was separately disposed over the bottom of the case main body which was divided into two and part of the gore portions on both sides that were continuous with the bottom.

[0006] However, in the case of a suitcase constructed by arranging reinforcing panels on the bottom of the case body and a part of the gusset, it is difficult to transport or load the suitcase.
Or, if external pressure is applied to the gusset of the suitcase due to a fall, this gusset can easily curve inward.
This poses problems such as deforming the suitcase and damaging the items stored inside the suitcase.

[0007] The suitcase according to the present invention is a technology developed in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and in particular, the suitcase is divided into two parts wide at the center, and the rugs on both sides from the bottom are integrated. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a suitcase in which the gore part is reinforced to prevent the gore part from curving inward.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The suitcase according to the present invention is a technology that fundamentally improves the problems of the conventional technology, and its gist is that the bottom part and In a suitcase in which the case body can be opened and closed widely at approximately the center by providing a slide fastener in the substantially central part of both side gussets, the bottom part divided into two parts by the slide fastener and the two side gussets following the bottom part. A U-shaped reinforcing frame is housed in bags provided on both inner surfaces, and reinforcing plates capable of supporting the closed portion of the U-shaped reinforcing frame from inside are embedded in both sides of the upper surface of the case body. It is composed of

[0009]

[Function] As described above, the suitcase according to the present invention has a bottom part of the case body which can be opened and closed in two parts from the center part by means of a slide fastener provided in the center part, and a gusset part on both sides continuous thereto. Since the shaped reinforcing frame is provided, the gore parts on both sides are reinforced thereby, and these gore parts can be prevented from being bent inward as a whole due to external pressure. In the suitcase of the present invention, reinforcing plates capable of supporting the opening of the U-shaped reinforcing frame from the inside are embedded in both sides of the upper surface of the case body, and thereby Since the opening of the reinforcing frame is supported from the inside, it is possible to prevent the upper part of the gore from curving inward.

[0010] In the present invention, as described above, since the bag portion is provided at the bottom of the case main body which is divided into two parts and on the inner surface of both side gore portions, the U-shaped reinforcing frame body is housed in this bag portion. This makes the U-shaped reinforcing frame extremely attractive,
And it can be easily attached to the case body.
