Suitcase lid support structure

Abstract

This invention discloses a suitcase lid support structure, comprising a first frame, a second frame, a support assembly, and a counterweight element. The first frame and the second frame are pivotally connected to each other. A flexible element of the support assembly is connected to both the first and second frames. The position where the flexible element connects to the first frame is a first fixed point, and the position where the flexible element connects to the second frame is a second fixed point, with the second fixed point offset outward relative to the first fixed point. The counterweight element is disposed on the support assembly and located between the first and second fixed points. This creates a positional difference between the first and second fixed points, thereby limiting the drooping position of the flexible element when the first frame pivots relative to the second frame.

Claims

1. A luggage lid support structure comprising: a first frame forming at least one first fixing portion; a second frame pivotally connected to the first frame, the second frame forming at least one second fixing portion; a support assembly having at least one flexible element connected to the first fixing portion of the first frame and the second fixing portion of the second frame, the flexible element being connected to the first fixing portion at a first fixing point, the flexible element being connected to the second fixing portion at a second fixing point, the second fixing point being offset outward relative to the first fixing point; and at least one counterweight element disposed on the support assembly and located between the first fixing point and the second fixing point.

2. The suitcase lid support structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein a central axis is defined by the second frame, the central axis extends to the first frame, and the straight-line distance from the first fixing point to the central axis is less than the straight-line distance from the second fixing point to the central axis.

3. The suitcase lid support structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first frame has two first fixing parts, the second frame has two second fixing parts, and the distance between the first fixing parts is less than the distance between the second fixing parts.

4. The luggage lid support structure as described in claim 1, wherein the first fixing part of the first frame and the second fixing part of the second frame are both perforated structures.

5. The luggage lid support structure as claimed in claim 1 or 4, wherein the support assembly further comprises a positioning element disposed at the first fixing point and the positioning element being coupled to one end of the flexible element passing through the first fixing portion of the first frame.

6. The luggage lid support structure as described in claim 1 or 4, wherein the support assembly further comprises an adjusting element disposed on the flexible element and located at the second fixed point, the adjusting element dividing the flexible element into an active section and a retaining section, and the adjusting element changing the length of the active section and the retaining section.

7. The suitcase lid support structure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the adjusting element has a guide portion and two guide holes respectively disposed on both sides of the guide portion, and the flexible element extends along the surface of the guide portion after passing through any of the guide holes, and then passes through the other guide hole.

8. The luggage lid support structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein a flexible element of the support assembly passes through the counterweight element, the counterweight element being selectively movable along the flexible element.
