[0023] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0024] The technical solutions of the novel embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment proposes a space-expandable briefcase. In order to realize the function of expanding the usable space of the briefcase, the present invention provides an expansion mechanism 2 at both ends of the briefcase body 1. The expansion mechanism 2 includes a pleated surface 21 fixedly connected to both ends of the briefcase body 1. A cover 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the pleated surface 21 away from the briefcase body 1. The fixed connection between the briefcase body 1 and the pleated surface 21, and between the pleated surface 21 and the cover 22, is by sewing. The pleated surface 21 can move the cover 22 away from the briefcase body 1, thereby increasing the storage space between the cover 22 and the briefcase body 1.

[0026] The briefcase body 1 has limiting mechanisms 3 at both ends. Each limiting mechanism 3 includes connecting blocks 31 fixedly connected to both sides of the briefcase body 1. Limiting straps 32 are fixedly connected to both ends of each connecting block 31. The connection between the connecting blocks 31 and the limiting straps 32 is achieved by sewing. Limiting grooves 33 are formed at both ends of the side of the cover 22. The limiting straps 32 are slidably connected within the limiting grooves 33. Multiple limiting holes 35 are formed on the limiting straps 32 and are evenly spaced. The surface of the cover 22 has four... The briefcase is connected by a hand-tightening bolt 36. One end of the inner wall of the limiting groove 33 is provided with a threaded groove 38. One end of the hand-tightening bolt 36 is inserted into the limiting hole 35 and the end is threaded into the threaded groove 38. After adjusting the space of the briefcase to suit the size of the items to be stored, the hand-tightening bolt 36 is tightened so that it passes through the corresponding limiting hole 35 and is screwed into the threaded groove 38, thereby limiting and fixing the position of the limiting band 32 and preventing the storage space between the briefcase bodies from continuing to expand.

[0027] A rectangular sliding hole 34 is provided on one side opposite to the limiting groove 33. A T-shaped limiting block 37 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting band 32. The T-shaped limiting block 37 is slidably connected in the rectangular sliding hole 34. By moving the T-shaped limiting block 37, the limiting band 32 is pulled back into the limiting groove 33, thereby folding the pleated surface 21 to facilitate adjustment of the size of the internal space of the briefcase.

[0028] The briefcase body 1 has a cover 4 on the top. The bottom center of both ends of the cover 4 has a slot 41. The slot 41 is rotatably connected to a card plate 42. The upper ends of both sides of the briefcase body 1 have grooves 43. A magnetic sheet 44 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 43. A magnetic sheet 45 is fixedly connected to the end of the card plate 42 near the groove 43. The magnetic sheet 45 is engaged in the groove 43. The bottom of the card plate 42 has a sliding groove 46. The sliding groove 46 facilitates the flipping of the card plate 42. By flipping the cover 4 to cover the top of the briefcase body 1, and flipping the card plate 42, the magnetic sheet 45 is engaged in the groove 43 and magnetically attracted to the magnetic sheet 44, so that the cover 4 can be properly closed on the cover 22.

[0029] The cover 4 has a cover mechanism 5 at both ends. The cover mechanism 5 includes a cover 1 51 fixedly connected to the upper end of the cover 22. The cover 1 51 is located at the rear end of the cover 4, and the cover 2 52 is located at the front end of the cover 4. Both ends of the cover 4 have a storage groove 53. The cover 1 51 and the cover 2 52 are slidably connected in the storage groove 53. By sliding the cover 1 51 and the cover 2 52 in the storage groove 53, the cover 1 51 and the cover 2 52 can be properly closed on the cover 22, thereby achieving the expansion and contraction of the briefcase space.

[0030] Telescopic rods 54 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage slot 53. There are multiple telescopic rods 54, which are equally spaced. One end of the cover 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage slot 53 with a spring 55. One end of the cover 52 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage slot 53 with a spring 55. The spring 55 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rods 54. The cover 51 slides in the storage slot 53 and stretches the spring 55. Then the cover 52 is pulled to slide in the storage slot 53 and stretch the spring 55. This makes it easy for the cover 51, the cover 4 and the cover 52 to be properly closed on the cover 22, which is convenient for adapting to the briefcase body 1 after space adjustment.

[0031] The inner wall of the storage slot 53 is provided with guide grooves 56 at both ends. Guide sliders 57 are fixedly connected to both ends of the opposite side of the cover 1 51 and the cover 2 52. The guide sliders 57 are slidably connected in the guide grooves 56. The guide grooves 56 and the guide sliders 57 facilitate the limiting and guiding of the movement of the cover 1 51 and the cover 2 52.

[0032] The briefcase body 1 has a fixing mechanism 6 at its front end. The fixing mechanism 6 includes a fixing block 61 fixedly connected to the upper end of the cover 22. The bottom of the fixing block 61 has a T-shaped slide 62. The bottom ends of the cover 52 are fixedly connected to elastic ropes 63. The bottom of the elastic ropes 63 is connected to a T-shaped slider 64. The T-shaped slider 64 is slidably connected in the T-shaped slide 62. The top of the T-shaped slider 64 is fixedly connected to a magnetic block 1, and the top of the inner wall of the T-shaped slide 62 is fixedly connected to a magnetic block 2. The T-shaped slider 64 is pulled out by the elastic rope 63 and slid from the bottom of the fixing block 61 into the T-shaped slide 62. Under the elastic action of the elastic rope 63 and the spring 55, and with the magnetic attraction of the magnetic blocks 1 and 2, the cover 52 can be properly closed on the cover 22.

[0033] A handle 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover 4. An anti-slip sleeve 71 is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the handle 7. The anti-slip sleeve 71 is made of rubber, which makes it convenient for users to carry the briefcase.

[0034] It should be noted that the briefcase body 1, pleated surface 21, cover 22 outer surface, connecting block 31, limiting strap 32, lid 4, bag flap 1 51, bag flap 2 52 and handle 7 are all made of artificial leather to improve waterproof performance and reduce costs.

[0035] In practical implementation, when it is necessary to expand the space of the briefcase, the present invention first loosens multiple hand-tightened bolts 36 in sequence. Then, the pleated surface 21 can move the cover 22 away from the briefcase body 1, increasing the storage space between the cover 22 and the briefcase body 1. At this time, the limiting band 32 slides in the limiting groove 33. Then, the hand-tightened bolts 36 are tightened so that they pass through the corresponding limiting holes 35 and are screwed into the threaded grooves 38, thereby limiting and fixing the position of the limiting band 32 and preventing the storage space between the briefcase bodies from continuing to expand. At the same time, the cover 4 is flipped over to cover the top of the briefcase body 1, and the card plate 42 is flipped over so that the magnetic sheet 45 engages with the groove 43 and the magnetic sheet. When the first cover 51 and the second cover 52 are magnetically attracted together, the first cover 51 slides in the storage slot 53 and stretches the spring 55. Then, the second cover 52 is pulled, causing it to slide in the storage slot 53 and stretch the spring 55. After that, the elastic rope 63 pulls out the T-shaped slider 64 and slides it from the bottom of the fixed block 61 into the T-shaped slide 62. The magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic blocks allows the first cover 51, the cover 4, and the second cover 52 to be properly closed on the cover 22. This achieves the expansion and contraction of the briefcase space, increases the storage capacity, meets the space requirements, and allows for the storage of excessive documents and items, improving the work efficiency of office workers and enhancing the practicality of the briefcase.
